False Alarm

{EDIT} Arr, okay…I'm falling behind in everything, I won't be posting another John Clyde page until I build up a small buffer of pages. Sorry, try not to hate me too much. ^_^' (CK, 4-13-09)
Jeez, just barely finished this page on time! I'm running behind in everything I do, which is why AROTD is late too. A mix of distraction, nice weather, unexpected rides, and jelly beans. Okay, okay, so the jelly beans didn't do a thing. (But keep me sustained during the wee hours of the morn.)
Hopefully I can get some drawing done today! ^___^ *must remain optimistic* (repeats mantra over to self.)
For this one, I copied and pasted a background–I figured it'd be easier…Of course, when the time came, I couldn't properly remember how to do it. So I spent waaay too much time on this one when it should've been relatively quick and easy. Heh, heh…woops. ^_^'
I'll try to get up a page next Sunday too, but at the moment, anything could happen. (I shouldn't be typing this. It's early morning for me. NOT my most comprehensive time.) *normally I type this up Saturday afternoon or even before*
(That's my way of apologizing if I'm hard to understand or say/type strange random babble.)

Aw, I'm glad! I just feel guilty I haven't been able to update it in...AGES. =_= *epic fail* In fact, I've been pretty dead on DD as a whole, lately. Haven't gotten to read any comics in months, I have a bunch of new names I want to check out as well, and a bunch of older ones I need to catch up in. I feel pretty awful. John Clyde is still going to have to be dead for awhile as well *damn, when did life get so full and complicated?* but there are possibilities of me making a come-back with another comic project along with my brother, Steely Gaze...(Perhaps the rest of my comics will fall into place then?) ^///^ Hmm, seeing your comic--and actually logging into DD for the first time in weeks--makes me long for the old days of 2007 and 2008. Perhaps this'll be the month for a come-back after all... Thanks for the comment! You made my day!!! (even though it was from several days back...heh, whoops.) ^_^;

Thank you, Croxtonhas! ^,^

Nice air-brush effects!

Ghostrunner: Thank you! Rain Storm: Yeah, I don't do copying and pasting near enough, took me a good few minutes to figure out what I was doing! ^_^' (And thank you for being so patient and understanding.) Antcomics: Thank you very much! It feels pretty good to be putting more work into these backgrounds now...(Coherency is overrated anyway, I gave up on it years ago.) ;p Nigbun: That bowling ball crater was HARD. I never knew a slight depression in the ground would give me such grief. XD Floodgatemartyr: Hey cool! Thanks for stopping by and thanks for informing me--that's good to know. ^___^ Flup: Thanks! I think copy and pasted backgrounds will be the norm for any more jungle scenes. (which will be for a while yet.) *still got quite a bit of story arc left to go* Steely Gaze: Aye, I kinda thought as much too. I was wondering if I should've put "The sound of the memory card being stepped on" in parenthesis. Or maybe "There goes the memory card." Then again, another idea for that panel had been to do a close up of John's boot as he steps on the little doohickey. (Well, I can always change it if I ever want.) ^_~

"No, but it was cool!" XD Part of me wants to find out what John did to the camera, but part of me is just as happy not knowing. ;) Only minor quibble with this otherwise sterling page is that the 'crunch' doesn't really signify that the memory card was broken. It almost sounds like poor Marco hurt something! :(

Bowling ball is etched across the crater in panel one. I approve your use of copypasted backgrounds! ^^

Looks like this comic is still going really well! I'll have to read everything I missed! Definately looking forward to it! Oh, and my comic Dreaded Eater is back if you're interested!

That's clever, hiding the bowling ball in the crater of the camera. I can't tell you how many times I've mistaken something for a flying monkey. ... last time it wasn't a weasel...

Nah you were more coherent than I am even after 4 cups of coffee! LOL. :o) We appreciate all the hard work you put into this. It shows too!

I hope you can remember how to copy and paste in future ^_^ but in the meantime, don't stress too hard about missing/late updates. We'll still be here when you get back =3 And the bowling ball's in the first panel, underneath the poor battered and fried camera.
