Thanks for stopping by yet again for another weekly installment of Endstone.
Comments from last week:
@chaves - Thank you sir.
@Hyena H_ll - Thanks. I appreciate your continued support.
@DAJB - heh. : )
@mattchee - Thanks. I hope you get something out of the book.
@Jabali - I didn't realize it until after you and Midge pointed it out, but that last panel does have sort of a classic Boris Karlof/ Lon Chaney kind of feel. Not intentional, though.
@darkwaterfrey - Thanks alot.
@literacysuks1 - Thanks again for stoppin' by
@machinehead - LOL. Actually the original title of this comic was “STONER” but I went with “Endstone” since that was a more unique title —- but then again maybe I could've got alotta' extra hits with real stoners dropping by on a google search accident. ; )
@worstcase - thanks. Writing is the most difficult part for me.
@khard12 - Cool. I wanted a non-Tolkien way to do “magic” and “stoner” was a joke name that eventually grew on me.
@The Gravekeeper - Yep. There's always someone that has to push that button.
@amanda - LOL. Great story. And you called it on the button. I hope there was enough of a plot twist after the cliched explosion.
@armandoB - Thanks man.
@TheMidge28 - Yes, I didn't realize it, but the last panel totally looks like Chaney Jr.'s Frankenstein. It must've been subliminal since I used myself as a reference – and anyone who knows me can tell I look nothing like the Frankenstein monster — at least that's what my mom says. ; )
@Doctor Shadow - Thanks. I appreciate your comments.
Anyhow, I hope you enjoy. . .

THAT is when things got weird? The giant toad army, guys pulling chariots, all powerful stoner business men and only NOW are things going to get weird? This woman measures weird very differently to me!

Very Nice work man.. faved

...because deer and toad people are COMPLETELY normal. But yeah, I hear ya on finding non-Tolkien-esque ways of doing magic. As much as I respect the man's work and what he did to get people to realize that fantasy doesn't have to be just children's fairy tales, we've gotten to the point that his method of doing it has become an unofficial rule. A lot of great fiction takes the established norms, acknowledges them, then tosses them to the wayside.

Great. You're getting more and more solid with each page. Loving it.
machinehead at 3:24PM, May 4, 2009
I like how Jon looks like an evil politicians. Because that pretty much sums up pure evil.

The whole place just turned all techy. Must be a spaceship in disguise.
darkwaterfrey at 9:01AM, May 4, 2009
woweeee! NOW it gets weird!
amanda at 8:44AM, May 4, 2009
Now that isn't what I expected... hmm. I like the Eternity Spire. I'd totally live there.
Doctor Shadow at 3:01AM, May 4, 2009
You're welcome man, can't wait to find out how weird this gets.
