Stinging 3
Sep03
I had a 4th panel punchline originally but somehow this worked better. I like sometimes showing Mick and Alex being real people.
Oh, fine, roll over the image for the punchline.
Oh hey! Look at that! New Celldweller album incoming! And yep, still sounds good. I got into this band due to our very good friend, Shinga. You should check out her comic. Way back in the archives, Mel and I are in there. As characters, but the comics actually did happen. Honestly, 90% of her comics are based on things that have actually happened in our social circle, as unbelievable as that may be.
Anyway: Celldweller!
“You with her a lot longer…”
He drunkfucked the grammar right out of her!
Panel 4 is perfect…
ROFL mouseover text. 😀
Kudos for the courage and confidence to skip the punchline and end the strip sweet, slow and silent. In a comic that combines drama and humor, like with similar TV shows, most strips (or episodes) end with a cliffhanger, a zinger or a laugh (or a combination thereof), and when they go with the triple S (see above), if done well, it stands out and has a wonderful impact.
For this strip, it also makes for a perfect panel composition; you put the X in chiasmus.
Has she dropped the “L” bomb before?
What’s the roll over text say? (Can’t read on mobile)
This has to be one of my favorite FTF to date. Panel 4 is perfect.
I have to agree – excellent strip today.
If Mick lets Alex get away from him, he’ll be the biggest fool unhung.
That is so unbearably sweet I practically went into a diabetic coma just reading it.
And then I mouseovered, and almost pissed myself laughing. Well done!
This would have more impact with me if it had been establishd that Mick’s relationship with Heidi was ever anything but an occasional booty call for the heck of it. Never really saw anything indicating otherwise. Did i miss something?
… and her foot is sticking out from under the covers. Nice artistic touch!
what is the poster over the bed … it looks to actually be something but the skewed angle I cannot recognize it.
Thanks for that. It was a really nice, in character, and well done scene. Blondie deserves a good gal to be with even if he is a derp sometimes.
