This is pretty much the other side of what Glorianna was agonizing over and was mentioned by Orshia and Armen back on page 80-page 81
Though Thord has trouble with his letters, he actually is good with numbers and musically gifted. He sings of course and plays several instruments. Illya is completely illiterate though she can write her own name.

Now if I reduced this to line art and then traced and colored it I'd be hailed as a genius and everyone and their brother would comment on it? Sometimes I see something and I want to scream that “the emperor has no clothes”. There are a couple of popular super hero comic that are so badly written it hurts to read them. And yet this flounders around at an apathetic 16 likes and 100 or so page views per update. Quite laughable.
This sucks way more than any of Call me Tom's efforts. If only I could give him my persistence and endurance. This really isn't worth the effort I'm putting into it but I stuck it out for 100 pages.
Please everyone do me a favor and spare me the pep talks and platitudes, I am not fishing for compliments or looking for anyone to tell me to keep it up. I really can't sort out what I want to do with the rest of the script so I just might leave it here until I do.
There are a couple more pages I will post and then I want to concentrate on the rewrite or another project and maybe converting the pictures to line art so this will fool those prejudiced against photography or just me. Yeah, it's me. I just bitch too much. Shut up and let the comic talk, but do that and it's all “yeech, dolls ”
Hey, you're a genius - but like Van Gogh you will only truly be appreciated after you die!! Wait... you said no pep-talks!! :D Well Pooh...! *Slap... Language!!*
And you should know by now that I know you can see through false flattery, so I wouldn't say 'genius' if I didn't mean it! To me, what you do is much like elaborate mini-scenes I've seen in person (model train sets, doll house setups..) and when those are done well, it can be jaw-droppingly impressive! That said, I totally agree that for some reason such things don't seem to translate over to images (incl webcomics) as well it we'd like (I bet the appreciation would be a 100-fold if people could see your stuff live...) I can see the art in it - I wish more did...*shrug* Some things are like that! Millions more people like simple-beat Hip-Hop over classic Jazz and Blues - it is what it is! Now, the post-mortem fame thing was supposed to be tongue-in-cheek funny - you laughed, right?! ;)

What else would you expect from Monty Python's resident Welshman?

This guy's gonna do something horrible. He is seriously setting off my Douche Bag Meter right now.

No Lancelot to save him in this.

My response was supposed to be tongue in cheek just like Woody Allen saying he'd rather achieve immortality by not dying than through his work. :)

Genius? Try fool with a talent for self delusion. I prefer honesty to the effusions of sycophants.

The knowledge of appreciation only after death isn't exactly motivation while still alive.

Bravo, I feel the same way about my own work.
bravo1102 at 1:50AM, Nov. 16, 2017
You have more of a following and what you do is fun without pretence. I keep getting stuck trying to do something beyond my ability.

Need to practice my letters and ciphering too.
plymayer at 1:28AM, Nov. 16, 2017
Doesn't like his sister that's for sure.
bravo1102 at 3:24AM, Nov. 16, 2017
Bossy older sisters and meek middle brothers can equal resentment.
plymayer at 1:27AM, Nov. 16, 2017
I suspect he wants to be queen.
bravo1102 at 1:45AM, Nov. 16, 2017
And have Spam a lot.
jerrie at 1:22AM, Nov. 16, 2017
Hell! He needs to call the wedding OFF!
bravo1102 at 3:11AM, Nov. 16, 2017
Not an option.
jerrie at 1:22AM, Nov. 16, 2017
Falkimir needs to re-think this wedding
bravo1102 at 3:25AM, Nov. 16, 2017
He can all he wants but he already spent the dowry. ;)
