I still have this weird thing when it comes to drawing shoes. Love it. I hate buying them and owning them and all that, so I guess my natural affinity for them that all girls have has to come out somwhere.

What? No smooch? No headbutt? No lifting him up by the front of his jumper and throwing him off the cliff for good? ... No, not this time. But maybe another day.

*Sniff* I'll miss you, masked man... ... You and your giant feraligatr were somewhat easy to draw.

Atty is not amused.

Reply mzpblue, 04 Jan 2011 07:25 pm

For some reason, I think they should be talking in English Accents...
"I say! What an odd man..."
"Indeed. Care for a spot of tea, old chap?"
"That would be smashing!"
Or something along those lines. I still can't do English Accents very well...

That line made my day. I don't know which I'd rather have happen, but they made me giggle.

Also "Toodles?" Is this a chick or a man who uses effeminate goodbyes? Either way I like it!

Reply n47h4n, 05 Jan 2011 03:30 am

I usually spell it "Tootles" when I say it, which is all the time, but whatever; the effect is the same.

Reply Cedric Bale, 05 Jan 2011 04:10 am

His left boot looks strange for some reason. Like, unusually wide. Maybe it's just because I can't see the bottom of his other boot... And speaking of strange-looking, Khan looks a little strange in those last two panels too, for some reason. That weird V-shaped collar thingy on his shirt, maybe? Or his hair is too poofy, or too featureless, maybe? Hell, I don't know. I need to stop pointing out negative things in good pages. :s

Also, wait, we never find out who this guy is? We better find out at some point, if not in this chapter. He hinted that he was well-known, if not famous. Inquiring minds need to know! D:

Toodles.

After all this time, finally read this comic. It's amazingly drawn, I laughed a lot and the main character's lack of (showing) interest during (nearly) everything is awesome.

Easily an extra fav.

Reply Cedric Bale, 05 Jan 2011 09:48 pm

@xkrazydog: I wasn't saying I hated it or anything, or that it should go faster. I wasn't even trying to tell H0ly what she should do. I was just putting my current thoughts and random observations in a little box and hitting the Submit button. I have a much bigger issue with having to defend myself in a comic's comment board than with the comic (especially considering I have no serious issues with the comic).

[Edit - to at least try to make this post on topic] Also, Masked Guy(?) doesn't look all that feminine to me in that third to last panel. More like it's windy and he's trying not to fall over while looking behind himself on some steps. :P

XD TOODLES! OH MASKED MAN OF AWESOMENESS!!

Reply xkrazydog, 05 Jan 2011 11:08 pm

@Cedric: How to counteract your comments =) in a sensible (and not derogatory, sorry text only goes so far) way:

"I have a much bigger issue with having to defend myself in a comic's comment board"
---You returned to responded to my post, therefore you made it into a bigger issue. its nice you read the comments though (ego or otherwise), and this time you got a response. from me =) (lo siento).

"His left boot looks strange for some reason..."
---Look again carefully, one foot is on the step below, the right one has the back heel up. There'fore his left ANKLE is thin enough because its not in perspective while the other is. His left heel isn't visible.

"That weird V-shaped collar thingy on his shirt"
-This is a mistake on my part, I never specified what fabric Kahn's sweater was made of and (because his design is so old and fashion was unknown to me) i cant wait till he changes outfit. He just hasn't yet because h0ly kept it for continuity sake until he can change. H0ly gets much props for making it even remotely passable on the garbage i made her base him off of.

"Or his hair is too poofy, or too featureless, maybe?"
On panels that small i see no reason why she should kill her wrist to add detail when this passes the point anyway.(plus his expression is relatively cartoony so he can get away with it)

"Also, Masked Guy(?) doesn't look all that feminine to me"
--Agreed. Robes kinda make anyone look relatively girly. Its a step away from a dress and a coat. But masked man can get away with it. Kudos to masked man.

DragonThing is abused. He/She/It should take Atty to court. On the basis that Atty dropped He/She/It.

Reply AprilDragon (Guest), 06 Jan 2011 05:46 pm

You know, with all the abuse, I wonder what'll happen when Dragonthing evolves. I mean, Ash's Charmeleon/Charizard treated him like crap even though Ash saved his life and was a kind and caring trainer. The future doesn't look good for Atticus.

Reply MidnightWolf (Guest), 06 Jan 2011 08:17 pm

Awww man. The masked dude is leaving. I wanted to see if he was an older version of Ash or something.

Keep up the great work. Can't wait for the next comic.

Huh. For some reason, I'm now wondering if it's possible for the masked man to actually be female.

Reply Ellix (Guest), 07 Jan 2011 08:53 pm

Has it been confirmed anywhere by word of god (aka H0ly) that masked person is a man? Otherwise I was thinking that it would be a woman since, if Khan = Red and Atty = Blue, then masked person could be = Green who is female. (Yes, English naming convention)

Also I love the second panel in the voting incentive, because without the text in it the whole speech bubble looks like Atty's mouth exaggerated. :P

so whats next? Atty has more respect for pokemon? Is finally gonna use that pokeball he 'didnt deliver'? Train his pokemon to evolve? Battle (weak) trainers to earn money :p?

Reply Cedric Bale, 09 Jan 2011 07:28 pm

[Edit - to completely change my entire post] Just picture it. Atticus travels across kanto, battling trainers, earning badges, winning money, and of course encountering Masked Guy(?) multiple times throughout his journey, much to Atty's aggravation. He goes back through Pallet on his way to the Viridian gym, stops by his house, and spends the night there before moving on. His mom goes out for some reason, he walks into her room... and sees the Masked Guy(?)'s mask on her dresser, along with that robe.

oh curious How does Holy-chan imagine their voices to be?

Reply H0lyhandgrenade, 11 Jan 2011 02:33 pm

TaraTennyo: I don't know about Kahn, but Atty's voice is very clear in my head. Kinda RP English accent, but in a not so obvious way since his voice is kinda deep and edging on monotonous in a disinterested way. Since practically all my characters are English, you can expect them all to have some variety of English accent.
