Uschi, if you're still here, I liked your comic. The story was more focused than the first one, but I still like the first one a little better because of its utter strangeness. Interesting panel transition between the "this is the interstate" and "here is the liquor store" panels. I must agree with Mxy that I wanted to know what happened to the other baby. When you work in a more conventional story form, then all the stupid usual criticisms apply, unfortunately.

The young'ns looked not unlike Pokemon -- was this some hidden subtext, perhaps unintended? Maybe your comic was a meditation on the frustrations of Pokemon collecting.
The story was more focused because A)it is based on true events and B)I sketched out the plot before I drew it rather than just drawing and seeing where it went. Like I did on the Private Eye comic. That ninja came out of nowhere, I tell you what.

The 'interesting panel division' is due to Animalman not double returning between images. It is spaced as pages correctly on my website web page (....there's also a new pic under 'other random stuff' if you're interested.)

There were, in the comic, two other babies. I never saw these in real life, I just kinda assumed. And I needed something else in the panel. Why the hell should I put what happens to them in? That'd be boring. The end of that comic is the fucking END. Who gives a rat's ass?! Maybe they die! Maybe the mom fox (who hasen't died yet in reality. still lurks around.) went home and found another daddy fox and fucked around and now they have more fox friends. I DON'T CARE. And if I don't care, and it's MY story, WHY in HELL should anyone else?

The little fox is round because the one I ran over (see it now? - -(shit!) me in the first car) was so fluffy it looked round as it hopped in front of my car and went ba-thump. I noticed it looks like Pikachu whilst coloring. And I never played Pokemon. But I saw the show a couple times and Team Rocket is awsome.

As for 'the stupid usual critisisms' applying, whoopty fucking shit, ok? I've hated that comic since two days after I finished it. Perspective is WAY off in a LOT of the panels, colors are cheap and flat, the stupid 'shine' on my car looks like shit and it's the only car I did it to so that just makes it WORSE, the guy in the second car looks like a god damn muppet, the cars all suck donkey balls, there's WAY too many stray lines..... and I never claimed to be a writer. I know I can't write. So fuck yourself, mmkay?
