Shades on The Duck : 2010 Drunk Duck Awards

thip at 12:46AM, Nov. 28, 2010

Horribly late to the party (I thought - and wept - that ther'd be no more Shades pages), but a long-overdue CONGRATULATIONS on your awards from "Institute Of Inebriate Water Fowls" - you nearly split both my sides with that one!!! ;o) Five awards seem trivial for something of Shades' quality, but hey, who would refuse being awarded for doing a fantastic job!!! Congrats again, go murder a pint, you've earned it ;o)

Jen: Yup - all over! Glad you enjoyed the happy ending. I guess, underneath my cynical exterior, I must be more upbeat than I thought! Stig: Ha! You think you can influence me that way? I've told you before, these are [i]not[/i] the droids we're looking for. Wait - that can't be right ...! Lance: Heh - forget T-shirts and mugs; the future of webcomic merchandising is in finger-snacks!

Wow so it's over now? It ended so happily and neatly! I really got a feel for the characters and was holding my breath for everyone at the end. There were a LOT of characters, but everyone had a distinctive personality and their fates were all tied together. It was great! Looking forward to more from you in the future!!

*does the Jedi hand movement.* You WILL make another comic.

Now I want one of those sausages on a stick XD Congtas, man, well deserved! =D

DAJB at 4:41AM, Sept. 20, 2010

Abt: What do you mean "as if"?! ;-) Terzle: Thanks! I must admit I prefer stories with a proper ending too (which, I guess, is why I wrote Shades that way!) And don't worry, any news on future developments with Shades and/or new projects will definitely be flagged up here!

DAJB at 4:35AM, Sept. 20, 2010

DarkVisor: Not sure about the next project. A few medium- to long-term possibilities are bubbling beneath the surface (quite a long way beneath!) but we'll see. I was interested to learn you found your way here via a spot the difference game. We have two out there: the first one (just called [b]Shades[/b]) uses on the sequence with [url=http://differencegames.com/index.php?cmd=viewgame&gameid=65]Becky in the Spirit World[/url]; the second one (called [b]Boudicca[/b] is from [url=http://differencegames.com/index.php?cmd=viewgame&gameid=79]Boo's confrontation with Dominion[/url]. Have you played them both? Harry/Armando: Thanks, guys!

As if transcribed from an actual session! :P Congrats again!

Terzle at 3:57PM, Sept. 19, 2010

You so deserved this ... as someone who only found Shades just before the end I had a very happy time reading it mostly in one sitting with just a few weeks until the finale. It was a great story and I am sad it is over, although I do prefer tales with a beginning and an end. I hope you enjoy your well-deserved break and I look forward to your next endeavour. Just please post a link here so we can find it *winks*

Going to miss this comic, it was what introduced me to the 'Institute of Enebriated Water Fowl' (from a spot-the-difference game actually) and a heap of other web-ics When are you going to come back with a new comic for all your adoring fans?

DAJB at 11:51PM, Sept. 15, 2010

Everyone: Thanks once again, guys! Alej: You know us Brits. Class is what we do best! ;-) Tantz: Sorry. Our trophy cabinet is full now! ;-) JNP: Revealed? No. I knew it was you all along! ;-) Sky: Thanks! Don't hold your breath, though. I'm still having serious thoughts about whether there will [i]be[/i] a next project! UsedBooks: Fear? So [i]that's[/i] why people voted for me! Lem: Two last year (Best Superhero Comic and Best Writing) and two the year before (Best Tense Scenes and Best Background Art). Plus this year's haul! Peipei: Fondu? Your parties are obviously posher than mine! ;-)

AzuJOD at 9:57PM, Sept. 15, 2010

You've done very for yourselves!

alejkhan at 1:17PM, Sept. 15, 2010

Super congratulations! Definitely a classy way to end things. ^_^

Tantz_Aerine at 11:32AM, Sept. 15, 2010

"inebriate water fowl" :D :D :D Just for that you deserve another award!

JustNoPoint at 7:22AM, Sept. 15, 2010

Oh F#^&.... Wait.... did I just reveal myself to be that anonymous heckler?!!! Um... uh.... Congratulations! Way to go out in style! And with such snazzy colorful looking awards too! Who made those beauties? ;) Going to miss Shades!

skyangel at 6:20AM, Sept. 15, 2010

Congratulations to you and your team on all the awards Dave!!! Thoroughly deserved, and what a brilliant page to finish on too! Look forward to seeing your next new project!

Genejoke at 4:48AM, Sept. 15, 2010

very good. I am very much looking forward to DAJB and co's next project.

usedbooks at 3:46AM, Sept. 15, 2010

It weighs easier on your competition knowing this particular work is out of the race next year. ;) So, make another comic to be feared and envied at the 2011 awards! DO IT NOW!

Lemniskate at 2:19AM, Sept. 15, 2010

"Institute of Inebriate Water Fowl"? That has to be one of the most sophisticated institutions of mankind :D So how many awards have you gathered over the years?

CoyoteLongshot at 1:54AM, Sept. 15, 2010

Won't the print just fall through the holes? Guess word of the internet still hasn't reached Parliament. :P It was great to see [i]Shades[/i] get so many awards. You deserve it!
