Hey - we've just crawled under the bar and into the Top 100 Comic Book/Stories! Haven't been here since the heady days of being featured! Many thanks to all you guys for your great support!
Reminder: Oh, and if you haven't checked it out recently, don't forget to look in on the BVC Scrap Book here at DD. You never know - we might just have snuck something new in there!

Great various views of perspective and attention to detail.

Congrats! Hope you stay there for some time, my friend...you deserve it.

Stig: Could be. Although they [i]did[/i] abduct Stan and Boo can be pretty protective of her friends. Oh look - the new page is up now ... let's go see! ;-) Space/Trevor: Thanks!
Stig Hemmer at 5:42PM, Jan. 23, 2008
I think the women in general would be happy to just scare them away. However, I would guess that Boo is curious about what these people are up to and want to talk to them... whether or not they want to talk to her.

I smell a whoopin' coming on. Nice spatial depth going on in these panels.
DAJB at 6:59AM, Jan. 22, 2008
SciFi: Yup - and he knew what he was talking about, too! JNP: Tricks up their sleeve? As if I would spring a surprise on you guys ...! ;-) Nepath: Hah - another comparison, I wouldn't have thought of! Thanks for that!
scifiwim at 6:45AM, Jan. 22, 2008
Or, as the great Gandalf so eloquently put it Fly, you fools!
JustNoPoint at 6:27AM, Jan. 22, 2008
I wonder if these guys are simple lowly scouts or if they have a few tricks up their sleeve still. I hope for the latter! Great page and set up.
Nepath at 5:13AM, Jan. 22, 2008
Hah! It's like a weird take on a scene from Braveheart! Great page

jgib: Three thugs [i]and[/i] a taxi driver, to be precise ...! Alana: Aaaw - now you've made me wish I'd put in a rabbit with big pointy teeth! JMT: It's certainly starting to look that way! SoItBegins: Uh oh, indeed ...!
jgib99 at 8:49PM, Jan. 21, 2008
Three thugs vs. A small army of women with a serious chip on their shoulders. Yeah. This looks like your classic mismatch here. Great work.

This is when it's the appropriate time to invoke Monty Python: Run away!!!!
jmt at 5:46PM, Jan. 21, 2008
These bucket heads are screwed.
SoItBegins at 3:34PM, Jan. 21, 2008
Ut-oh.

Armando: Heh - I'd have left already! Lemnis: Hmmm - now there's a possibility ...! LJS/one/Rutger/Gavin: Thanks, guys.
armandoB at 2:47PM, Jan. 21, 2008
i'd be afraid too
Gavin at 2:44PM, Jan. 21, 2008
i love it when you updaet :)

Boo in front of the gray sky, on top of a monolithic building - she reminds me of a mesopotamian commander. And the one in the pink coat is a woman, too?
one_am at 10:39AM, Jan. 21, 2008
nice work.

Albone: Okay, I get the message. As soon as this story's done, you can [i]have[/i] the tyres! Adam: Heh - they could build yet another wall? Midge: Thanks. I guess I really was just suffering from "brown-brick-fatigue", then!
albone at 8:09AM, Jan. 21, 2008
I'm not sure, but I wouldn't be so worried about WHY they all showed up, as I would be with HOW they showed up. They're fast, and it probably isn't a thing for them to run and lay the smackdown on them. And boost the tires off their ride. :P
Adam Black at 7:50AM, Jan. 21, 2008
Now, if each of those ladies has a brick in her hand...
TheMidge28 at 6:30AM, Jan. 21, 2008
Much agree with chip. The ominous feel of all these women looking out over these hooded folk with Boo a top the building like a greek statue of a god...I reminds of roman arenas where people are thrown to lions as the specatators safe and sound cheer on.
DAJB at 6:03AM, Jan. 21, 2008
cs3: Thanks. I must admit this [i]isn't[/i] one of my favorite sequences. I think, by the time we got to this stage, I was sick of those brown walls ... Heaven only knows how Harsho coped with having to draw and colour them over and over! One thing I do like is the final panel. My art direction for this one included this line: "This panel should have the feel of a Western in which the cavalry have just spotted that every ridge and hilltop is lined with hostile Apache warriors" ... I think Harsho captured that! Imagine: Didn't we just do that in the last chapter ...? Peipei: Who's complaining? I like the way "real women" roll! ;-) Harry: Well, just in case the taxi isn't enough of a clue, these are the guys who abducted Stan in [url=http://www.drunkduck.com/Shades/index.php?p=255814]Chapter 1[/url]. At least one of them showed a certain impatience back then, so you could be in luck!
cs3ink at 5:25AM, Jan. 21, 2008
I'm not sure why, but this is one of my favorite pages to date. I really dig the underlying feel of menace & the subtle amping of tension. You guys are really good.
