*hands you a pity kleenex* Awww, poor Nick, so put upon, so forever hassled by the forces of evil when his intentions are nothing but the most saintly pure thoughts for the happiness of others.
Really like this one. Only, why dont you edit out stuff like "hehe" and "lol"? People wouldn't say that out loud usually, and it looks funny to me to see it printed as if it was the dialogue of the characters. Yknow?
Thanks! Well, I told myself no editing, but if you think it really detracts from the flow of the little stories...I think I'll try to get a consensus on this sorta thing when I post next week. Especially because I'm having issues with some of the new ones and what to do with *action asterisks*...like, should I have the characters say or do those things? Do makes a lot more sense, but that would mean a form of editing. Maybe I should just take a more illustrative appproach with lol and the like. You think?
Yes'm. I think actions can be implied, as can things like "hahahha" or "lol" - if they would change the meaning of the story if taken out. otherwise I think random lil things like lol or *grin* shouldn't be counted as part of the ten lines.
Above all, it's you shaping the pictures to the words given, and if your picture needs to tweak the words, I think that's ok - you wouldn't be substantially changing the meaning or jist of what the lines say. Just the way they said it.
i.e. line says "I love the sky because it is blue" and you change it to say "I love the blue sky" .. I think that's ok.
Just my two cents... as someone who is a frequent user of *action asterisks* to display absurd things *leaps off the wall* *hides giant robot in closet*
I would really want to see Jen's illustration of those things. But I don't think dialogue like "I love the sky because it is blue" should be changed... that's dialogue. Also, "I love the sky because it is blue" is substantially different than "I love the blue sky," both in actual meaning (maybe she loves the blue sky because she doesn't like clouds, in the latter case. Or it lets her point to robots which are clearly visible) and in conversational nuances such wording conveys.
Man, I should get an LJ name to stop with this anon crap.
I'm quite enjoying this comic so far. ^_^ You have a lovely art style.
Just found this clip from a conversation I had with my younger brother a year or two ago. Short lines, mostly, but maybe it'll work.
Him: boob Him: I SAID BOOB Me: I KEEL YOU Him: OBEY THE BOOB Him: eek! no keel Me: I KEEL YOUR WHOLE FAMI--wait. Him: bwahahah Him: your plan is flawed! Me: Curse the evil plots of fate that caused me to be related to you! Him: thanks, plots of fate!

Pixie Led: wanna go out for dinner sometime this week? neighborhood cafe?
shereallytalks: is that the place we went for my birthday?
Pixie Led: with joey and the vietnamese dildo spring rolls.. yes.
shereallytalks: mmmmm that place was uber yummy
Pixie Led: they've added to the menu and now i'm cravin'.
shereallytalks: ohhhhh even more yummy things? hot damn!
Pixie Led: i know they've added pho, there was something else that was on the marquee and i don't remember what it was.
shereallytalks: what is pho? i hear everyone talk about it, but i've got no clue
Pixie Led: i've never had it, but meli says its a sort of clear soup with stuff in it. it didn't sound particularly special, and i suspect that it's another case of the indie cool kids latching onto the latest trend to maintain their indie cool personae.

You know how much I adore your art and one of the reasons I enjoy this is because of their hair. You are really wonderful with hair.
Come on next week!
