John Clyde Remix
antcomics on Jan. 15, 2008
Today I decided to give the Ants a break so they can go play in the sandbox or whatever…I told them to stay out of trouble.
I am a fan of a comic here at the Duck called “John Clyde the Nature Guide” by Chameleon Kid. It's a cute, funny comic about a clutzy guy named John, his wife Penny, and other assorted characters…
When she put this strip up the other day I thought I'd remix it. I will be submitting it to Kingofsnake's Comic Remix project also…
So here is my tribute to John Clyde, in all his clutziness. This was fun to do!
Thanks to Cham for her permission to remix this.

I love the art style! It reminds me vaguely of Sergio Aragones' work. :D

I mean like somehow voting themselves more than once or something. Argh what the hellzorz is ccawards all about!? *puzzled face*

Whattya mean cheating? You are actually allowed to vote for yourself if you think your comic's good enough. Nothing wrong with that (unless you do something like vote for yourself in every single category...that'd just be wrong). :p

There'll probably some comics that are doin' a bit o' cheating, but I shall vote on that cc awards thingy for ya'...

I love the way you capture the actions and facial expressions!

nice use of the "ohsh*t-ohsh*t-ohsh*t" concept!

Looks great! I love the addition of color. How'd I miss this earlier?

Love the remix and your touch of 'markers' makes such a fun difference. Kudos to both!

oh and just a note I was going back and reading a few of your recent ones to comapare colour and I realised that the Xena one has a dragon in the background. I think I'll stop commenting for today

woopsie I made a typo it's sposed to be 'That's excellent!'
jurbas at 5:43PM, Jan. 16, 2008
Thanks excellent! No offence to Cham Kid but this one is a slight bit more appealing to me. I think it may be the water panel that does it, but I understand Cham Kid already pointed out that it was hard for her to draw water right on the comments on her page! Good job Amy. Chameleon Kid I'm now gunna go read John Clyde!

iowabarbidoll: Just do a remix, PQ kingofsnake, and he will post it. He explains in the link I provided above. Rutger: Thank you for stopping by--and the same can be said for you! :) I need to read through your archive too.
iowabarbidoll at 4:36PM, Jan. 16, 2008
HAA!! This is great!! LOve this! How do you get involved in this Remix thing anyway? ~B
Rutger at 3:29PM, Jan. 16, 2008
Your archives. I need to read them. DAMN YOU AND YOUR AWESOME SENSE OF ART AND HUMOUR! Why wasn't I informed earlier?

Wow. A god. Corey, I'm blushing here. Wowee...I dunno if *I* would say that but still it's a helluva compliment. Yeah the faded look was the scanner's fault I am thinking. Brock and I had a discussion about that the other night. I need to tweak the color a lot after scanning it. Sometimes making the colors more vibrant (or *too* vibrant tended to take away some details in the darker parts of the strip, if that makes sense. Also, it could be largely due to the fact that I color manually and not with Photoshop, etc... Anyhow I am glad the color looks better to you guys.
n_y_japlander at 3:15PM, Jan. 16, 2008
(^O^) Yes I too agree that on this one, the color is much more vibrant! Looks good... but I think the slight fade is an Amy Hankin's trade mark feature. but, that's just me... and it does not change the fact that you are a god of art! (^0^)

Oh goodness, that's hilarious! Good luck with the best web comic of 2007! I'll vote for you!

Midge: Yeah--people who know me will get the surprise spoiled i guess. :D And yeah--it really does seem like a scene the Ants could be in easily. No wonder I chose it!

funny thing is I just saw the post of the original page on the remix! Great Job Amy! your style totally fits the antics and really adds so much to the joke!
