Bowling Pt. 11
antcomics on March 17, 2008
Oh boy, Terry Lee has an idea!!
I can hear the collective “uh-oh's” right now…
I wanted Adam and Marco to get into a little fight outside. It was a good way to keep them outside for awhile while TL carries out his plan to save Gary from Genevieve the Giant, who is whisking him away…to somewhere… heh.
This comic kicked my ass. I worked on it last night from 7:00 to 11:30. That first panel with the bowling alley took most of the time. I figured I hadn't shown what the Frontier Bowl looked like yet, so I decided it was time. It's based on a bowling alley near my house (that triangular entryway is totally ganked from that building). I always thought it looked neat. I think it was built in the 60s and they've never changed it from that retro groovy style.
In other newz, I am working on a comic remix that I will be submitting to (dun du-du-dunnnnnnn….Comic Remix!) later on this week. So look for that. Ain't gonna tell ya what comic it is though. :o)
(Those of you who do just shOOOOOsh!!)
I been getting a lot of neato fanart lately, so if you want, check it out here:

Yay an idea! Here's hoping it involves flying squirrles! Although I appreciate the chances of that are remote :(

Gawd! This page is amazing! The lines are really looking sharp too. How do you do it? can you sprinkle a little of that magic dust this way? Pretty please? Love the little reminder about the sugar buzz.. lol

Yes, you did hear a collective uh-oh. Things are looking really, really...funny. The chaos present in this strip is awesome, simply awesome. We all salute you for the hard work you put into this. Heck, it may have kicked your butt, but it totally [b]kicks[/b] butt! Also, due to someone (Chameleon Kid, who else?) sharing my IP and stealing the 5, I'm gonna have to give out my 5 in my comment.

Nice job on being in the top 50 comic strips! The pages look great, and I believe it when you say you worked on this page for several hours. Nicely done! There's a lot of motion and energy on your pages, which usually puts a smile on my face right away. Love it!

Wow. Antcomics just keeps getting better and better. I can see how this one kicked your butt, but it looks like it was worth it.

Man, the front of the bowling alley sure looks NIIIICE!!! (When you DO have backgrounds, you don't go halfway!) ;) *LMAO* Aw maaan, this is so AWESOME!!! (really excellent "Meanwhile" btw.) I wonder what Terry Lee is gonna do! XD Things are really heating up...(0_0) Your hard work shows. And we all appreciate it. ^_^ Keep trucking Amy! (we need you and the Ants.) =D

You're a genius at capturing emotions in poses, gestures and facial expressions. And the building looks great! Reminds me of one of the churches in my neighborhood! LOL! And Terry Lee's sugar-induced creativity? I can only say: sweet Jesus!
