    Anyone on the thread is welcome to check it out and offer feedback if you have any.

    A couple small technical things:

    - watch the direction of the tails on your speech balloons. A couple are pointing to the wrong people: page 6, frame 2; page 6, frame 6; maybe page 10 frame 3 (the "no" points to one of the men when maybe it should be coming from somewhere in the corridor).

    - Page 6 Frame 6 also feels weirdly composed in context; in frame 5, the old man is up next to everyone, then in frame 6 he's over by the door some distance away, and then in frame 7 he's back with everyone again. It feels sort of like it was meant to be his exit line, and then you changed your mnd about the direction of the scene.

    Hope this is helpful.

    Moonlit Massacre

    Fleeing people seem to be running upon the water, like in a Kung Fu movie. Dramatic, but intended?

    You ever have one of those days when yet another crisis emerges for you to deal with and you wonder about all your life's choices that led you to that moment?

    It happens to Starship Captains too, that moment when it just feels like they can never cut a break.

    Another birthday approaches, and this year her hobby has been hand-crafted paper dragon puppets.  Time to work up another card starring Adult Hatchling Dragon suffering Desert Depression.  Hope it presents well on paper.

    Hallelujah!

    Sweet!

    Do you arrange the images on a full page so that it folds into a card that opens before you print it?

    Funny you should ask. 

    I guess I'm a one-pager artist after all.

    Dug out some of my favouite Genesis characters mixed in with a bit of Smay's very fun "Chibi" morphs and hair; tossed in a pair of unifomrs from Uzilite and set out to have a picnic... but that always attacts pests. It used to be that ants were the problem…

    I don't suppose they have a bag of sugar or pot of jam they could throw off to one side as a distraction?

    Sadly, yes... in the already-eaten picnic basket...

    Esteemed wsterdan,

    Excessive enthusiasm erupts; everything escalates embarrassingly.

    Emus everywhere engage in energetic escapades.

    Entirely expected.

    Would it be less expected if Cassowaries erupted instead? I'd have thought levels of expectation would be similar to that for Emus.

    Regards,

    Richard

    People tend to be more wary of a potential cassowary, so they are not usually as much of a surprise.

    Testing out a new cast for a possible novel or series of short stories; Owen Flynn and Katherine "Kat" Kelly, crew of Flynn's Folly.

    They tend to get in trouble… a lot.

    Should handcuffs and oven mitts be standard wear for away teams?

    Ha! That's one idea, another is to not let them be on an away team...

    Then they would probably touch a button they shouldn't have.

    In a Richard Attenborough voice..... smiley

    In the vast and sun‑drenched landscapes of Australia, one creature stands apart. Observe, if you will, the cassowary: a bird so magnificently ill‑tempered that even evolution seems to have stepped back and said, “Yes… that will do.”

    Here, the cassowary moves with deliberate grace, its casque glinting like the helmet of an ancient warrior. Note the dagger‑like claw — a biological reminder that nature occasionally enjoys over‑engineering its creations.

    Contrast this with the emu, a gentle, bewildered giant whose primary defence mechanism is running in whatever direction is least helpful. While the emu relies on confusion and hope, the cassowary relies on the simple, universally understood message: I could end you before lunch.

    And so, from a behavioural ecology perspective, the element of surprise is greatly diminished. For when one encounters a cassowary, one is not surprised. One is merely… afraid.

    A cartoon one pager showing this would be great laugh

    I'd never heard of the cassowary, what an educational and frightening day! 

  • wsterdanwsterdan Posts: 3,456

    Absolutely brilliant cartoon! Love it! After reading up on the two birds this afternoon, I'm totally amazed!

  • richardandtracyrichardandtracy Posts: 7,694

    Stezza, that's fantastic.
