The Last Noel

usedbooks on July 10, 2007

This is a special page. It is one of the first ones I drew after joining DrunkDuck. (The previous pages all existed in my notebook with no plans of webcomicking… ) Shortly after joining, I received a few comments suggesting I play with the panel sizes/shapes more, and this is what I drew immediately after that. BTW, “breaking out” of my rectangles also sped up my art improvements, and some of the future “action” pages would not have been possible without this. So thanks for the suggestions, guys!

Now, for the content of this page. It was more seasonally appropriate when I drew it, but I suppose posting it in July is just fine. With everything else that has happened recently, it can be hard to maintain a joyful holiday spirit. (Yeah, I know Seiko is holding the pen weird and everything else that's weird on this page – missing thumb, distorted face… At least it's colorful. lol)

If you like my comic, please click those little voting links on the left side of the page, right above the chapters list. Thanks for reading. :-)

Peipei: I'm sure Kaida heard *most* of the story, at least the part Tristan knew about. Seiko tends to be very selective in the information she shares. (She went over a decade without sharing her account of her parents' deaths.) Can't be good for her, but that's the way she is.

maritalbliss: I get like that about the webcomics I read. I can't stay away when there's a new page up. Fudo is one of my favorites. He's laying low now, but he'll be back (a very long and friggin awesome story arc – and a few kick-ass flashbacks too).

Triss: What about Mike? Poor Mike. No one loves him. lol. That was a difficult time for all.

ncbaddwolf: Heh heh. He probably had a good dose of morphine too, so a trip out the window might not hurt too much. ;-D
