Description I feel a little bad about all this sappy stuff, but I wouldn't feel right cutting it out entirely. Rhea and Kieri rarely get much time to talk exclusively to each other. I guess those of you who feel like gagging can just avert your eyes for a little while before we get back into more exciting material.

Oh yeah, no one commented on this, but I thought I might as well point it out anyway: on the previous page, Snowy doesn't have any pads on her paws. It wasn't a mistake, but a deliberate decision I made to stop drawing them. A friend of mine pointed out to me years ago that bunnies don't have big pink paw pads like that on their feet, and I finally decided to omit them entirely.

Don't skimp on the sappy!!!!

...I mean, don't do only sappy, but still, I think the majority likes it!

Especially if your fan base is anything to go by.

I had a similar situation.
It's hard choosing the right words
for certain situations.
Expecially when you use a term that basically
got you into the situation in the first place.

In panel 4 Rhea has her "old cranky lady" look on, she looks so much older.
Yes Rhea's condolenses are epic failz.

Lolz, classic. Great sappy stuff by the way. I would give this a 9/10.

I'd just like to make a quick comment regarding your most recent news post, where you say the following...

"I feel a little bad about all this sappy stuff, but I wouldn't feel right cutting it out entirely. Rhea and Kieri rarely get much time to talk exclusively to each other. I guess those of you who feel like gagging can just avert your eyes for a little while before we get back into more exciting material."

Cutting out characterisation in favour of getting to "the good bits" more quickly is a great way to derail a story... Whatever you do, do NOT cut out these sorts of scenes, PARTICULARLY not ones between Rhea and Kieri, just because you think some of your audience will find it boring...

i'm just curious whether it implies she had no friends in heaven, or if it's a reference to rhea yelling at her just recently?

Latiken In reply to steak85 [2009-04-26 20:17:11 +0000 UTC]

I actually think it's both. Though she never told anything about friends in heaven. Oo Maybe we get to see this in futur comics but at the moment it's up to the reader to imagine what these three dots meant, I think.

No gagging here. It's necessary for character development, not only for the characters but the relation to one another. Plus it's cute. There I said it.

I guess it needs leg to be plural to read right. Or very wrong, as the case may be.

No, she said it herself. That's probably why she went to hell.

The word "probably" means that it was an assumption. What Rhea said was an assumption too.

Plus Rhea said that she was willing to lie to children, not that she actually did so before she died, nor if it was the reason she went to hell.

Yay! I win.
