Hey, Krogo. I'm guessing from the way your art looks that you're using Paint.NET, right? (Simply put, it doesn't look like Illustrator and I'm noticing some subtleties.) Just an FYI, to get better-looking bubbles, you need to double your line thickness while drawing the ovals. For some reason, PDN halves the lines when drawing filled shapes. I personally use 6 for my bubbles and 3 for my tails, but some might prefer them to be thinner, so you may decide on 4 and 2.

Yeah I'm using PAINT.net, I'm to poor to afford Illustrator right now. That was my forgetfulness about the bubbles Mac had told me about the size when i was doing the test stripe and all, and I totally forgot about that. That was my silliness for forgetting lol.

Thanks for the reminder though

I am not saying who I am paying Homage to in this comic. I want to see if you guys can guess though I am sure it is quite obvious.

First, Mac broke reality.

Then Mac broke conventional comic-space, along with Blues.

Now he's broken our perception of what a comic should be.

Bravo, Mac.

Bravo.

And he brought back chibi-Thadius.

I was going to add Mac asking how Jay saw him outside the panel and Jay saying he'd be a piss-poor psychic if he couldn't, but I decided to cap myself at 100 frames and it wouldn't have worked much better, anyway, as evidenced by the resultant product. Actually, the reason I decided against it was because of how short my loop was, so it would only have seemed especially repetitive.

Jay sees a lot of odd stuff. I haven't gotten to it yet, but not only does he see outside the panels, he also sees behind them, which is where all of the spirit world stuff takes place that I had planned for him. I pretty much planned on abusing alpha from the beginning and never got around to it. Yet. Although this semester doesn't look good for my non-school productivity.

I'm guess Fox Trot? :P

I do love how Thad's head is bigger then the rest of his body, it seems fitting for some reason.
