Ch2 Pg30

Cheeko on May 25, 2006

Woo-hoo! Page 30! We're about half way through. Gah.
You know… the original Chapter 2 was going to be exactly 30 pages long. Now it's twice that size… I guess beause I'm cramming in a lot more information where before I just spliced it off into Chapter 4.

Okay, so there are only about ten or nine days left for us Seniors and we are BORED OUT OF OUR MIIINNDSSS!!! All the other underclassmen are taking SOLs, and all the AP classes have already taken the tests, so there really is nothing to do. What has Cheeko been doing during school? Can you guess?
She's been hauling in her laptop to color random pictures and pages. It rocks! I'm sitting at my usual desk on the computer with my tablet! The day goes by so much faster but my eyes get really sore. :)

Hey! GUESS WHAT??? Did you see that new link in the Navigation bar at right? The one called “1Q on Comixpedia”? Royce Day surprised me in an email by telling me he had made two entries for each of my online comics! It's that just AWESOME??? You have to read them; they're very well written, if I can say so myself. XD
Check out Royce's dA site here: http://sir-talen.deviantart.com/, and if you can get the chance, check out the DaMaR entry as well. You can reach that page by clicking on the “DAMAR” link and then clicking on the “DaMaR on Comixpedia” page in the navigation bar there.

Okay, so in Ocarina of Time I've totally gotten through the Shadow Temple without ANY clues whatsoever. I'm starting to feel really cool and an absolute game geek when I get to the Boss, that creepy Bongo Bongo dude, and MAN!!! That guy is tough! What with Little Link running around on the giant drum trying to avoid the giant hands that are waving at him like they're trying to drive away a fly. Rather annoying, and with those stupid HoverBoots you can't get any traction on the drum, which makes you bounce like crazy. I'm going to give him a shot this afternoon, though. That guy is going DOWN!

I want to respond quickly to a comment an anonymous reader made on the previous page about my word balloons, which I think everyone should read anyway.
Thank you so much for your feedback, dude or dudette! I really appreciate that you've taken the time to read through my comic and then actually tell me how I can make it better. Unfortunately, not a lot of people do that. XP
Though the words and the balloons are small and somewhat difficult to read, READING THE PAGES THEMSELVES IS PURELY OPTIONAL. It's the equivalent of a Preface for a novel, and you can do perfectly well and still understand everything that's going on in the book by simply skipping it. I just talk a little bit there. In addition, the comic is best read SLOOOOOWWWWLY. I often make the mistake of skimming a lot of comics and miss a bunch of stuff that are vital or just get half the picture; so sometimes I make the text small on purpose. (Can you guys think of any examples when I did this? No? I'll give you a hint: it was in this Chapter)
But you're right; the diction boxes at the beginning are tiny and difficult to read when they shouldn't be, and one day I really do plan on going back and redoing those pages, textwise.
Thanks again.

That's all for this week, folks.

Cheeko out.
