Well it took a bit of work but I fixed some mistakes and got this under the size limit so enjoy the update as I intended it. Still I don't know what I'm going to do in future, this size limit is going to cramp Charby's usual extra long update. I just hope I don't have to go back and edit any of my old pages because I won't be able to upload fixes to many of those since they are way over DD's size limit due to being many “standard” pages long. I love drunk duck and by no means is this me demanding a higher limit,I just wanted to vent, plain and simple! My apologies for the mistakes on the page, I fixed them up now. Been a stressful week for me with production problems and the usual, you know how it goes.
And since it needs mentioning, the DD awards winners are being announced, be polite and gracious guys! I don't expect to win anything, but you shouldn't act up when I don't. I'm up against some very talented people and it shouldn't be a shock that the judges choose a comic that's better than mine in any category. please try not to complain about it there, it makes the winner feel bad and makes CTV fans look bad!
Ooh... A parallel to Charby and Victor's team up? Tony and Blaine... That'd be sooo Uber-sensationally FANTASTIC! I can't wait to see what happens next... I'm so giddy... ^^
one question... he can't touch the grating cause it's iron... did the vampire leave it like that or can tony touch iron when in another body?...
congrats on the awards by the way...
Jeesh, I've been lurking a while. I guess now's a good a time as any to finally comment, after having followed the comic for four years.
First off, this is the only comic that's held my interest for 800+ pages. Namely because it -stays interesting-, with a beautiful style that only gets better each year. I have lost -sleep- just re-reading this comic on a whim. This is by far one of the -best- webcomics I've ever read, and I've read the top-rated ones. Not to bash Inverloch or Dominic Deegan, I just think CtV deserves... I don't know, fireworks shows in its honor. Something like that.
On that topic, I've only one negative thing to say about the format, and that's the text bubbles. There's something about the text in them that's a little jarring aesthetically. Please don't get me wrong-- it's not by much. This is just a little complaint, and even then, it's probably just a stylistic thing. It was just something about the font is all, not the formatting of it. Srsly, though, it's probably just me being so used to comic sans. Just figured I'd mention it.
Another thing, in case you ever needed it (because I know you still get the occasional slip-up), your art really doesn't look like Jhonen Vasquez's. It doesn't. To me, it looks a lot like Chuck Jones' style-- very whimsical and cartoony. I don't mean that in a bad way, either! I respect Chuck Jones a lot, and do not mean to offend. :( (Although I'd pay money to see 'What's Opera, Doc' re-animated with CtV characters.)
I dunno, just figured I'd drop in after about four to five years of reading this comic (I can honestly remember spazzing out about Zerlocke to a friend when I was a Sophomore in High School). Just to let you know the old ones are still there.... Er... the old commenters/readers, not the eldritch gods. Although CtV just might be quirky/insane enough to be read by eldritch gods. But yes; you're appreciated, your art is appreciated, and your opinions in the authors' comments are appreciated, too. ;) It's easy to forget sometimes, and I'm more than happy to remind you.
Congrats on the awards, by the way!
It took me four days, but HUZZAH, I finally managed to get to a working computer. Life's hectic. Anyway, this is a great page. I love the fact that the lemon sound effects are colored and the detail in the fifth from last panel is really good. Mort's got curly arm hair?
I'm glad Tony got out of there, I was getting worried for him!
There are what appear to be two typos in panel 8; I think Mister should probably be capitalized, and sound should be sounds.
I really like how you did the their breath, it looks very neat!
Ah the old ranting debate.
Please take it to PQ's or the forums, it's gone way past what should be stuck in the comments.
Add a link if you feel everyone needs to see it.
@ Larry: Larry there is a huge difference between a free service and charity. DD isn't offering hosting out of the goodness of its heart, it profits from all the hard work of its resident creators and the readers who frequent it. They are offering a service, not a gift, and as such is more than fair game for people to express their opinion on the service or even suggest that it might need some changes to meet the needs of some of its users.
Secondly Larry stop trying to start a fight, we don't feed trolls around here. You are being deliberately hostile for no reason. Amelius is anything but selfish and has proven her apreciation for DD with actions many times over from assisting with community projects to assisting DD various owners and operators when they asked without asking for any sort of reward something you might have known if you had been around here longer or bothered to try to get to know her. Amelius hasn't said anything out of line and you're being rather unreasonable here with thinly veiled insinuations and borderline name calling, but I think you already know that. You could have left a helpful suggestion like a lot of people here did instead you decided to go on a lengthy attack of Amelius and have gone out of your way to take her comments out of context and assume the worst about her. If you continue to be belligerent I'm just going to mute your comments and have them removed, you are not adding anything constructive and you're being disruptive. If you have some sort of problem with Amelius I suggest you just read a different comic.

So did Blaine understand that Tony put him in the locker for a reason, or did he just thought Tony taught him to be more careful.

Uhm, nevermind. Ignore my comment.

No possibility of splitting the page in two and doing a back-to-back update?
