Down to number 9110, and, oh, somewhat behind schedule. The missing three images are paintings I did on wooden boxes. I'll try to post digital pics for the countdown. Onward!
I really like what you've done with the young Mus, both in terms of his insistent dialogue and his face and posture -- he's more mature in Chapter I, barely (grin), but it all works.
Say, is that coin on a string related to the coin from Iudea on the string that Felix has in Chapter I? I smell some intrigue... or maybe it's just clogged sinuses clearing so I can smell the curry Mrs. Dr. Phil made last night.
Have I mentioned that I'm a big fan of your artistic talent?
Catching up after being bad for a few days and not reading daily ... ::sigh:: as usual you astound me! If this art is not to your liking ... sheesh! :-) I love this new storyline, or backstory, as it were. And you draw hair SO well. :-D
Well, I didn't get my new job. What's new in the world? I feel like I've been out of it for weeks. I've been digging out from under all the spam that accumulated when my carefully constructed email situation crumbled before I left for Spring Break.
I'm so sorry about the job. Clearly those people have no taste, no class, and no sense of perspective, and are the sons of she-goats.
I've been painting instead of drawing Felix and Mus, and shame on me. Life kinda hit me in the back of the head with a big wave of LifeStuff and dragged me out in the undertow (oo! metaphor!), and I'm trying to paddle back to shore (extended!metaphor). Several comics are sketched out, but inking has been unsuccessful thus far. Not going to make any extravagant promises until I actually sit myself down and force myself to ignore the stressiness and just draw.
Painting is good. I just like to check in on you every once and a while. And while I admit I am always cheered by a comic posting, a comment reply gives me personal validation so that's good too!
Actually, the university folks were quite nice. Nice enough to explain (sincerely, I believe) that the problem was not me, it was the not-perfect fit for this particular position and they might just be creating the perfect position. I had felt the same way, so the door is not closed and I feel fine about it.
I really like the bit with the kid in the last panel. That's SO typical child behaviour!!!
I also think you could author a hell of a coloring book. The kind of coloring book you'd find in museum gift shops. And I really hope that comes out as a compliment. It didn't sound like a bad thing to say in my head. :)
