Hooray! I've worked out how to move the Comments “input box” above the Comments!
Thanks to Rutger for (very diplomatically!) pointing out how much of a pain it had become to scroll to the bottom these days! (Do continue to read everyone else's input, though. We've got some rather clever people commenting here!)
Reminder: Oh, and if you missed it at the weekend, check out the BVC Scrap Book here at DD. We've just started serialising pages from The House That Drac Built - a short comic I made many decades ago, back when I was about fifteen (sixteen, tops!) Keep your eyes peeled - I'll be adding a new page to that every day this week!

Comedien: Tune in tomorrow - same [i]Shades[/i] time; same [i]Shades[/i] channel! SciFi: I thought this might have been a place where Harsho had put in a page break where I didn't originally have one ... so I've gone back and checked the script for you. It seems, you're right - it [i]wasn't[/i] Harsho. I [i]did[/i] do this on purpose!

Ohoh.... Famous last Words. Where is the Attacker ?
scifiwim at 7:17AM, Jan. 29, 2008
... the next star for Gladiator 2? no? Oh well... Man you did that on purpose! Sigh... Oh Patience where art thou?

JMT/JNP: Okay, that's it - I'm going to start marketing those chairs! T: Thanks! JNP: Heh - good luck with that! In one fight (at the end of Chapter 7) I ended up replacing virtually every one of the lines from my first-draft! P.S. Stan's appearance in [i]Off Hours[/i] is now officially fan art, both [url=http://www.brokenvoice.co.uk/Previews%20files/fanart%2001.html]at my own website[/url] and [url=http://www.graphicsmash.com/comics/shades.php?view=fanart&ID=71&do_this=view]at Graphic Smash[/url].

Sweet I like the spider chair.

Oh I must try and think of ways to get people talking more in my upcoming brawls. Though it really fits her, not everyone talks or has tea in the background. So I look forward to see all the clever ways you attempt to keep fighting and character building together as this progresses. Then again, with the cast you have assembled I could see every character carrying on conversations as they fight. Curse you DAJB! =p That spider chair is sweet!

Alana: Why thank you Ms Joli. But despite the (very welcome!) flattery I'm still not making any promises on the clifff-hanger front! Space: Stay tuned - the first big unravelling is coming up very soon now ...! Albone: A super hero story without masks?! Go and stand in the corner until lunch time! Rutger: ;-) Molly: Heh - it's really not [i]that[/i] big a mystery. I bet you clever guys could guess it real easy!
alanajoli at 11:00AM, Jan. 28, 2008
Many decades? You're still lookin' good, DAJB! And another cliffhanger? Tell me you're not going to make a habit of this! We'll keep coming back... :) (Only frustrated because now I *really* want to know what's going on!)
spacehamster at 10:47AM, Jan. 28, 2008
Ah. De plot, she thicken.
albone at 10:25AM, Jan. 28, 2008
I think everyone would get along better if NO ONE was wearing a mask. Y'know? Masks make people nervous. Or a chair with spider legs that can climb. And spider legs aren't going to help if she runs you through with a spear. Hopefully, that jetpack kicks in. :P
Rutger at 10:25AM, Jan. 28, 2008
Oh hey, diplomacy. Well, it does say that, according to the Chinese horoscope, the Rat is a very diplomatic person. Also a coward, but that's besides the point. Glad to be of service, in any case! O7
Molly Loves the KLF at 10:14AM, Jan. 28, 2008
D: HE'S JUST ABOUT TO SAY ITTT!! Go on masked man!!

Symon: Welcome to [i]Shades[/i]! And thanks for taking the time to leave comments on so many of the archive pages. Much appreciated! I think everything you asked along the way has been answered by subsequent pages but, if there's anything you're still wondering about, do ask it again here or in the [url=http://www.drunkduck.com/community/?comic_id=18888]Forum[/url]. I should pick it up! Trevor: Heh - I think she's managing to do that pretty well already! Armando: Hmmm - seems popular that chair. Perhaps I should give up this comicking lark and start manufacturing octopedal furnishings ...!
SympleSymon at 9:39AM, Jan. 28, 2008
...looking for tacos and candy? A worthy mission, that.
trevoramueller at 9:23AM, Jan. 28, 2008
Yeah, kick his ass, seabass!
armandoB at 7:53AM, Jan. 28, 2008
that chair is kickarse

Tantz: Actually, this was a major consideration for the style of the comic. I knew I wanted conversation during fight sequences (I feel robbed if I buy a comic and 20 of the 28 pages just have two guys pummeling each other with no plot or character development!) but, at the same time, I didn't want lots of corny one-liners as the characters traded "clever" insults. Instead, I tried to allow conversation, but to keep it relevant to what was going on. (Except for Boo who, as in most things, ignored what I wanted and wrote her own rules as she went along!) Midge: See the response to DocShadow and Peipei re the chair design. And as for these guys intentions ... aaaw, we'll be telling you soon enough! cs3: Heh - becoming a trademark of mine, that! one: After she's doled out a bit of payback for Stan, she just might ...! ;-)
Tantz_Aerine at 7:12AM, Jan. 28, 2008
...a way not to get smacked more before we talk to you. XD Sorry, I just can't stop filling in those sentences. Love the whole talk-while-you-fight sequence here. Very super hero-ish. :)
TheMidge28 at 7:03AM, Jan. 28, 2008
that spider chair is sweet...reminds me of Mojo from Marvel. So these guys might be good after all...hmmm...
cs3ink at 5:20AM, Jan. 28, 2008
Oh, cliffhanger!
one_am at 5:19AM, Jan. 28, 2008
why doesn't she just listen to them!? haha.
DAJB at 4:50AM, Jan. 28, 2008
Harry: I think you mean every page [i]needs[/i] a keeper ...! ;-) DocShadow/Peipei: Heh - for reasons that will become more apparent later, I really wanted the machinery these guys are using to be a little more "Heath Robinson". Unfortunately, if you go too far down that route, it all looks like it's about to fall apart! I think the designs we settled on strike a reasonable balance between outlandish functionality and amateurishness. (Okay, so I think I just made that word up!)
harryq at 4:33AM, Jan. 28, 2008
Jeez, every page is a keeper!
Peipei at 3:33AM, Jan. 28, 2008
Oooo this guy has some neat tools there :3 I guess he was expecting to get knocked around a bit once he caught up with Boo xD
Doctor Shadow at 3:12AM, Jan. 28, 2008
Nice man, love that spider chair lol...wicked stuff once again!
