Finally! Sorry for the delay. I'm swamped at the moment. I told myself not to participate while finishing off the mini-series I'm working on but I'm not very good at listening to myself.
I wish our full-sized image were just a little bigger. The text can get difficult to read when it's too small. Our text, even the font size I used here, is still larger than text in a typical comic book. This is the web, I know, but I'm just trying to think ahead. Making the full-sized image maybe 900 pixels across instead of 660 or whatever it currently is, would make it a little easier to read. Just my thoughts. And yes, I'm saying all this because I can get dialogue heavy when I'm having fun. :-)
I feel the same frustration as my Death Ranger after reading this panel...his point was to ask if "one piece" meant a dead body in one piece or a live body in one piece. I'm assuming that Death Rangers don't normally go on rescue missions, hence his parsing of the words.
Why don't you just make the font larger like I did? Did I break the rules by using a larger face? I agree that most of the panels are hard to read and are pretty jaggy after blowing up the browser window.
Chris, I'm really glad you expressed your frustration. I really didn't understand what you were getting at in your panel - I couldn't wrap my head around your meaning - but that's what made me want to follow it up so badly. I figured the other guys might not understand his meaning as well, which is what makes it so "real" to me. We all misunderstand each other when communicating sometimes. Like I said before, I live for character banter (well, so long as there's a plot to go along with it, hahaha).
Instead of explaining it here in a post, you should have called dibs and had your character do it. Hahaha, that would have been too much. Then I would have had to call dibs again and it would just get carried away and I don't have time at the moment anyways. :-)
I went to San Diego back in '05, just to see what it had become. By Friday afternoon I had had enough; I couldn't take any more of it. My wife came into town that day so we just played tourist all around town for the weekend. Didn't go by the show even once, haha. It's just out of control crazy. Beautiful place but I'd rather go there in winter to get away from the cold in Chicago. Hotels are cheaper then too.
I won't be at San Diego, either. I agree, it's just too big and I can't imagine trying to sell stuff there. If a publisher wants to fly me in and put me up, I'm there, though.
I echo that, Scotty-- I told my wife that I may feel the urge to go as a spectator at some point down the road, but I could only ever see myself behind a table/booth there if someone else was paying for it....hence I'll never have a table/booth at San Diego! Ha!

Good note, Mike. And great panel. I think our next story should be a Death Rangers tale.
yeah, I like this. Some character being thrown in is good biz
Hahah...they're like the Bickersons!

Love it. I'll jump back in soon, swear.

You guys Comic-Conning in Sandy Eggo? I forgot to register this year, so it's a big no for me.

DIBS!
Am I in the clear or did someone else call it and I didn't see?

It's all yours, Chris.
