What a fantastic and easy to remember safeword.
Yeahhhh those are bad safe words for bondage XD
Ahaha. I love this comic so far. ‘Help me’ indeed. xD
I kinda don’t like the font but it’s a good font. I’m enjoying your new story, looking forward to seeing how it all develops.
That’s an excellent safeword. I think sometimes people lose sight of the fact that the purpose of a safeword is to facilitate communication (e.g. a way to say no when protesting is part of the scene). Anything that does that is a Good Thing.
I’m sorry, but the only thing I can think is “Wow, They has a really huge bottom in that last panel.” Their top half looks ridiculously skinny, so when I saw the rest of their body I was like… Wow look at that… That was a surprise!
Though people DO have bodies like that, and it’s great you’re not staying going with more realistic humans rather than the drop-dead-gorgeous-flawless-young-people of Khaos Komix (not that we were complaining then, but variation is good ya know)
I totally agree with you! Although I didn’t know that people had that… drastic(?) of a body shape, so I thought that it was an artistic mistake somehow? So sorry if that was a little offensive…
Ditto on all points.
I went back through the pages to see if it was a mistake, but it’s just we never really got a good look at anything bellow his chest, though re-examining it did indicate that he was more rotund than we thought. Also, while it seems a bit exaggerated, I too have known people with this precise body type, short, but wide around the hips/waist, male and female.
Careful with the pronouns there. JD uses they/their/theirs/theirself.
Where does it say that?
Yet another thing i hadn’t noticed.
As was noted by Tab, the difficult thing about using they is that it’s typically used as a plural, so it can be confusing if not used very specifically. I’d thought Anwar was referring to his friends in general when using ‘they.’
I got the ‘they’ part, but yeah, also flicked back because I was surprised by the last frame.
Not short but peary //N
you know, i’m all for gender neutral pronouns, but honestly i don’t think “they” is the way to go. it’s just confusing.
I don’t understand why singular “they” seems to be so confusing. What about “you”? Sure, when you use the last one, it’s usually hard not to know if you’re using it as singular or plural but I really don’t see much of a difference.
English has used singular they for 700 years.
TRiG.
Well, that’s the funny thing about preferred pronouns, you don’t get to choose what other people prefer.
I really really like that safeword!
Wooh! Gotta love that big booty =D
Haha! I had no idea Anwar’s friend was so delightfully round!
They look so cuddly ^_^
This font looks WAY better than the other ones. I think you should stick with it!
Gotta love the way Anwar’s friend walks in that last panel. Not to mention- *ahem* dat ass
Steve turns out to be Steve from Khaos Komix.
Hilarity ensues.
Aye, the only problem would be the skin colour, but then again… it’s not that far fetched, I mean Steve -did- have the black scared out him at the end of Mark’s comic when they were trying to think of how to tell Jamie…
I’ll best you on that prediction: The Steve here is the adopted son of Steve and Mark from Khaos Komix, Steve Jr. if you will, and it turns out this comic takes place many years after the end of Khaos.
This means that Steve from Khaos Komix has now evolved into his destined final form and become (get ready for it): STEVE’S DAD.
Yes.
Ha, well… I can’t for sure determine whom he’s referring to when he’s pointing over his shoulder. It could be anyone in the crowd of people back there or even someone we can’t see.
See, I thought you were talking about the transvestite Steve… as I’m siure others did as well. Though that would be a lot more plausible… and asking Khaos Steve about whip lengths is a much funnier thought. x]
Wait, for whatever reason I thought Chris’ name was Steve… never mind my colossal brain fart. x_X
Hahaha, that’s okay. Over here I was like, “…I don’t remember a character named Steve in this comic yet. Is my memory really going after only 11 pages? Auuggghhhh. D:”
Boing! Boing! Boing! Boing!
All I can think as JD is walking away.
Honestly I liked the original font way better. I went back and reread it all and it was way easier on the eyes. But meh, I suppose I’ll get used to whichever one you end up with.
JD. This entire page. Just, JD. XDDD. I love him, he’s delightful XD
This is my first time checking out this site and new project. I think it’s awesome that you’re expanding as an artist, Tab. Though personally I don’t take “pretty” to be boring. I’m something of an art lover (maybe a cartoon/animation lover more so.) My favorite styles are on the abstract side – like Art Deco, though I also really enjoy Mucha (though his work was mostly pretty) – I find art no less interesting for being pretty.
For me an animated world is interesting if there’s variety. Ugly and pretty are not a dichotomy. There are also lots of different types of pretty and ugly and average and strange. In most animation a character’s appearance reflects personality. Take My Little Ponies, all the character bases look the same, but the fans could tell you each of the character’s names and their styles reflect personality. And there are a surprising number of fans for that show… (I’ve watched the first two seasons, because I like Faust’s work.)
I’ve also noticed the font changing on this comic. I like comic sans type font or that manly man one you were using earlier. This font looks emotional. Yes – I’m one of those people – don’t send me a serious announcement in Comic Sans. I think the first font you used worked okay, sometimes it was hard to tell if I was looking at an A or an 8. It might be easier to read if it’s not italic. Well, I’m sure you’ll find something good.
Nit picking aside, you know story and the pacing in this is much more polished than in early Khoas. The way this story started off is much stronger and amusing. It makes me curious about where it’s going to go.
I have to admit to being avidly curious what JD is going to do to become the ex-friend.
Taking things from Anwar’s view, I definitely want to feel safe. I hope we can keep learning from the comic without Anwar being forced into an uncomfortable position. I’m all for focusing on character development rather than dramatic plot so I’ll keep reading unless it becomes scary o_o; But the comic seems to be really up and good so far!
And I really like Chris :3
I hate to be that person, but the light pink text on light brown is hugely hard to read when commenting. I can’t imagine how hard it would be for people with low vision.
Omg he’s so cute
Hmmn… I love the idea of a heavier character. However, it doesn’t show in their face shape. I’m a really pear shaped person, but even I have a bit more chin than that. Just a thought.
But I do want to say thanks so much for doing a genderqueer character, and one that isn’t an idealized body shape. As a genderqueer person with a non-ideal body shape, Eeeeee!!! ^_^
To be fair, I have met people who are really heavy in the body/torso area, but have a “thin” face. I really love heavier profiles, and I’m so glad Tab is experimenting with “non-ideal” body-shapes…
What “ideal” is, I don’t know, perhaps healthy/muscular? either way, JD looks so cuddly, and delightfully round
Penguin ^_^
looking at the later pages and now… daaamn JD got faaat
I’m reminded of the meme, “If she’s screaming PINEAPPLE CONGRESSMAN PHILADELPHIA FETTUCCINE, she’s probably forgotten the safeword…”
