Hail-hail, the gang's all there. Including old vinegar fizz unfortunately. I revel in the assumption that she'll be one of the first to go... maybe she's the one who ends up trapped in her basement and eaten by the dog... okay, okay, she doesn't have a dog, but she might be trapped in somebody else's basement... maybe Spewed-on's. We hope anyway. It warms my heart to see our young heiress making an attempt to distribute her mother's property where it will be appreciated. Keep 'em coming, Klio! DRW.
Sorry -- must be flashbacks from last night's outrageously lewd Whose Line Is It Anyway on ABC Family where Colin Mockery was in a piece where he wasn't sure what gender anyone was, so he was checking, but... For a moment I didn't get which way our young heiress was facing. I'm sure that's her back we see. If she was looking over her shoulder, then someone's copping a feel.
Okay, seriously now -- another remarkable panel with the word balloons flowing around and getting into trouble with each other.
"I think it's going to show." "Good."
Go Felix! I think Felix must live at the end of this story, because I'm pretty damn sure that Mal in Firefly is one of his descendents... (grin)
I kinda figured the dialogue arrangement was going to cause trouble :P That's Iusta saying the first line ("Felix, you agree I can give the Tavern to Miriamne?") and Calatoria saying the second. It's supposed to be Spendusa on the left of the big panel and Cynthia on the right, with Caius helping Felix into his tunic. Hmm--I need more drawing practice... hopefully I've learned something from this installment... maybe I'd better go practice by drawing another comic or something.... :)
Yeah, I figured that was Cynthia giving Felix the angry eye and Spendusa looking pensive. Was somebody getting a free grop and I missed it? Gotta take a second look! DRW.
hmmm, I don't think this is a "drawing practice" issue; you had a scene with complicated cross-dialogue between a roomful(!) of well coiffed characters in your head and it actually works (with some bubble trailing). The issue might be in translating what's in your head (multi-dimensional & multi-sensory) to pencil & paper. You can hear the different voices in your head, which eliminates the confusion, but we can't. So hmmm, I dunno. Bold face lettering for the "loud" one in the group, a verbal tick unique to one character. Smaller lettering to indicate a background contribution to the dialogue works sometimes. You know the tricks. I was trying to think of a way to indicate the sword&toga dialogue as "sub rosa" which would give a completely different feel to the plot---just some thoughts. A famous writer once said that on every page something should have just happened, is happening, or is about to happen and you did all three in one picture; that is excellent plotting :)
If I need to break someone's kneecaps, just let me know. I have a big sword and am not afraid to use it. Then I run away, but I'm not afraid to use it. Just sayin'.
Bah, we'll have to include a big dessert with lunch. A sugar high is always helpful.
