SS4 24 Sarah chats to Nick in the garden
skyangel on June 25, 2010
I know I'm jumping about here with the story and it's hard for you guys to keep track at a page a week, soo I'll just mention that so far all we know about Nick is that he lives above Sarah and Janey, was in a relationship that didn't work out, and didn't come to her party. His story is going to unfold slowly so no big deals with him here yet. Stacey hmmm well we'll learn more about what he knows next week. When ‘Cathy’ is finally finished I will try and go back to two pages a week again, but for now I'm enjoying doing both, especially the artwork on ‘Cathy’ as it gives me a chance to get my pencil box out and play!
Emily (dinosaur?) is designing an outfit for one of the girls, and I can't wait to see what she comes up with! I'm kind of hoping that it will be for Leo as she is the most outrageous of all the girls. If anyone else wants to have a go you can PQ me for the ‘dollies’ or e-mail me at:

Disclaimer: This, unlike the one a year ago, is a real review. [i]Simply Sarah[/i] is a sort of pseudo-journal comic. It sounds like a weird way to describe it, but it makes sense and I'll get to explaining that in a moment. The story is various parts of Sarah's life and her own personal love story. It's a comic with lesbians but doesn't really cross into any cheesecake territory. Sarah is person, and not a stereotype, I know that this shouldn't be surprising considering the author but it's still something that's nice to see in webcomics. I call it a pseudo-journal comic because it reads like pages from a diary. This isn't a bad thing of course, it works for the story. The writing itself feels realistic, and contributes to the feeling that we are looking at an illustrated diary. Occasionally the comic can get too wordy. Pages that could have been broken up into panels with fewer, or even no words are somethings left as large pages of text. The writing could use a tad more control in that regard. However the story is written better than a good majority of comics on Drunk Duck. Artistically the comic has gone through a few changes so I'll just comment on the art from the last year or so. The line-art reminds me of the comics from the 60's, none of the figures are exaggerated, and feel closer to what real people look like. The coloring feels very much like a painting. Word balloons themselves are just areas where there is no color, not a defined circle. The color work is a nice floaty almost dream-like effect. The story can sometimes veer too far into the dramatic (though this is more an issue of personal taste), and it's not perfect of course, but for it's genre and as a comic it's very very good. I'm rating this a 5 because there has been a lot of effort put into this comic and it shows. I actually read through (most of) the comic unlike my last review so hopefully this wont cause a big fuss.

You just like making us wait. And we do. We wait. Cos you're good. Yes you're that good. Should I send Nick some of my fiction to cheer him up?

LOL at the wheeliebins, I often drive through your county, and I recognise the symbol - it's really great to see a comic that represents an actual place rather than "generic US" or "generic UK" (those pix of Central London a while back were neat). It's eerie, though, that after having named your main characters after my sisters, you now introduce a character who looks just like me (except I'm blond). I even have the white shirt. Not into gardening though.

Yeah I'm designing one! It's going to be RAAAAAWSOME. Dinosaur speak. Hahaha, Emily is fine =]

I have suspicion Nick is trans. But then I always like to see more trans people in my comics I read and latch onto the smallest hope. XD

That bloody Stacey gets everywhere doesn't she?

Wow. For a shared garden, that one looks incredibly neat and well-tended. Nick is clearly a vital part of that house! Unless he's actually a mass murderer and buries his victims in the garden, of course. Hmmm. Maybe that's why Stacy recommended a place she'd just been evicted from!
