Again with the headaches… of course stress and staying up all night doesn't help either.
I've been terribly busy lately with a whole lot of things, I know some of you are getting a little frustrated with my updating schedule…only gonna get worse this week though because I'll be out of town. But! I may be able to get some pages done by hand, because I won't be without a computer, just no photoshop… UIU is going to update every-other day, since I had a surplus (or I'm working on one currently)
Have you ever had to feel ashamed of an accomplishement? Well, I am truly embarrassed to be on the main page like that, because people are so angry that my comic (and others) are being shoved in their face, so to say. I miss the longer lists too, though for the most part I like a lot of things in this redesign. And being on the main page while other deserving comics are not, is not one of them. I have no problem with the other comics on that list however. Even if I wasn't there, I have no problem with a top list. In fact I'd rather not be there, I already feel terribly overrated and reading what people are saying makes me feel even worse.
To those upset at me, I am sorry.
Anyway. Here is the comic…also before anyone says “nice lense flares”, I don't use them…haven't since, well, probably 200 or so issues, I'd have to check. But I like the brushes I made for the effect better ^_^
I might have to take that advice myself since I am honoring charbys name by using it so he better not use me as a decoy for the girl for I will do the same thing zerlocke was going to do to her.think of me as his 16 year old counter part XD hehehe. as for Q and victor I'm surprised Q doesn't think victors part of the buffet lol.
also that same fact q and victor I'm like omg. their actually being casual if only victor knew lol.
no matter what this will always be my fave comic ! i mean the story line i dont care about the art ! THE STORY IS AMAZING ! the way ur able to keep track of soo many characters is just amazing ! ur comic is the best on this site .. and u are truely talented !

Meh, too many stupid people are running about. Do what you do, beacuse you do it well - insults are thrown by those who are either jealous, or feel you deserve it (ie, you've done something wrong.) Since you HAVEN'T done anything wrong, and you're in fact one of the nicest artist I've had the great pleasure of meeting on the web, I vote that insulters are from the first category - jealous bastages. Every dollop of praise you get is well-deserved, and every crumb of insult is just one more thing you've got to learn to ignore, as you haven't eared it. If that makes sense. I seem to make little sense, just move along, move along...
On a side note, who wants to bet the midden's going to hit the windmill when Vic realizes just who Q is and who he killed...?
You deserve being on the front page.
Don't break your head over it, let them complain, you have worked hard for this comic and you have all the right to be there as much as the rest of that list.
Don't let a bunch of self centered idiots get to you, you have made a great sacrifice and you have come this far because of it. You earned that spot and you should be happy about it, i would be dancing all over the place and maybe find a humorous way to rub it in peoples faces, but that's just me.
So, don't worry, be happy and have a nice trip.
I wish I could give you something much, mcuh higher and grander than "5". I just signed up and I still need to edit my profile, or whatever. The reason I signed up is this comic right here. Sure, I'll look over some of the others, but this is the one I have fallen in love with.
Don't ya just love how Vic and Q are talkin' with eachother?
WHOA, Q & Victor talking together. Weird!! And oh god not that little girl... (@_@)
Don't feel bad about being on the list! It's based on how many people have it favorite'd, right? Though I agree that the list should be longer, or there should be more top lists like there used to be.
Oy, I've got some catching up to do. I guess it gives me something to do later this evening...
The site redesign sort of threw me for a loop, but I suppose it's something I'll get used to. I kind of like the shorter list myself. Don't sweat being on the list; there are a lot of factors in a strip's popularity that your critics aren't considering, i.e. how fast and regularly you update and how much effort you obviously put into your artwork.
Still, I guess you can't please everyone, right? :)
Haha, they finally meet! Hehe, I wonder if Q is aware that Vic is human? xD (Well, no, he's a werewolf, but it isn't that obvious is it? xD)
NOOO! Charby is MIIIINE! *Tackles Gabrille* xD
Oh Amy! You should be proud! And those people, I'm sure they have awesome comics, but instead of being angry, they should just set a goal to become like or better than you! I mean, it's not your fault the new design had less room for top comics :( Basides, you've totally earned it, I'm sure you'd be in the top comics even if the art wasn't good, because the story is just so fantastic! ^_^
wow pretty glowey eyes...
I don't like the new design of DD, period. People being up there is cool, but it's kinda hard on the eyes, I think. So much colours just in my face, you know.
Who wants to bet that there's gonna be another spider head from that blond girl? /evil grin
I don't see much problem with the favorite 10, but then the top 5 strips and comics are mostly redundant. Would be better if there were more reviews on other comics (comics with 20+ pages I think). I still think CTV deserves a place on the front page though!
How can you look at your work and say that it is over rated? This is the best damn comic on the site! I wouldn't even bother with Drunk Duck if Charby wasn't here. Ditto with cloven hand. No Ferny, no me!
"we're almost there, a aren't we!"
1. "a aren't"
2. Isn't this a question, and therefore neccessitating the use of our friend the question mark?
Also, what happened to Benny's font? The shadow used to be so much more pronounced. Now it's so subtle that if I didn't know it was there, I might miss it.
Panel 3 is interesting, but it really doesn't do anything for me. Differently shaped frames can be interesting, but this one doesn't seem to have a reason for being other than to be done (though I suppose that can be reason enough) and there seems to be an awful lot of just black space in the first half of the page. And to be followed by the nearly rectangular bottom panel (I noticed it's not actually a rectangle, but a trapezoid) it seems like something is out of place.
OK, I think that's quite enough criticism (well, that's all of my criticism for today. If I had more you'd know about it.)
I know I've complimented your use of lens flare before, and regardless of how you do it, it's a nice effect and well done.
I really enjoy your continuity. Charby still loves chicken and that girl (I don't know her name) still likes Charby.
And the conversation in the last panel is just perfect. You write dialog so well.
As always, you do good work, and it deserves recognition. And while it's nice to see new pages, people who can't wait for them, and get upset because you aren't providing them with new pages, need to learn some self control and realize how nice it is of you to provide such a service for free.
And I hope you're feeling better.
Have fun where ever it is you are going! If you do anything by hand I will be patiently awaiting such works, as they are always well done and a pleasant change from your usual pages.
Don't take all of those jerks seriously. I admit, some of our comics being on the main page has attracted some weirdos.
Some of them commented on a recent page of mine and I basically had an all-out war with one person pretending to be three or four people apparently.o.O
I think your comic is as cool as ever with even more amazing art.

I really like this page, the wording seems to fit so well. And the expressions in the last panel are great!
