Great development of the relationship between Vivol and Moon Bear. Your depiction of Moon Bear in this strip really drew me in. I’m intrigued to find out more.
Holy ****. This just got like eight times more intense. Revenge? And with moon bear now dealing with Charles Christopher, who’s friggin abominable - Awesome. I was already dedicated to this strip because of its resemblance to calvin and hobbes in a more modern and plot-driven sense… but the badass factor just got upped quite a bit. Nice.
That gave me chills. I’m really loving the range of emotion in this strip, from hungover sparrows that make me laugh to revenge-driven bears with pain in their hearts… Bravo!
I feel confined just looking at this scene. Awesome environment.
Revenge: Best motivator ever, especially when moving characters towards an unexpected [brewing?] resolution…
wow……you know…..I agree that the atmosphere and lighting is phenomenal……….but what really hit me…….his expression in the last frame………wow…….almost shivering………another great one!
I love Vivol’s character and leadership qualities. And it’s quite amazing how you gave him the ability to sense when someone needs to be comforted, but not babied. His empathy, simple speech, and determination completely emanate the signs of a Leader.
And I love Moon Bear’s body language. He says so much without saying a word.
yay- I get to be the first to compliment the “Silent Movie” style title page. Nice font work, layout. Also, splorp is, IRC, a direct homage to Calvin and Hobbes- not?
It might be an homage to Calvin & Hobbes, Steve, but not an intentional one. I absorbed all of those strips years ago and haven’t read any of them in quite a long time, but I wouldn’t be surprised if some of those sound effects stuck in my head.
And Rowan, I wish I could update more often too, but right now it’s all I can do to get one of these out each week. Maybe once Teen Titans Year One is finished I can devote some more time to it.
Very nice work - I’m still here and happily reading … but…what happened to the nifty buttons that let me “tag” my spot so I could come back to it rather than having to click backwards to get where I left off?

Wonderful, this just gets better and better.

I have a feeling that eventually we are going to see what Vivol is like when he’s really angry.
I am eager/terrified to see that moment.

This quite literally brought tears to my eyes. Sad, melacholic and ominous all at once. You continue to blow me away, sir.

I love the way the bears talk, very straightforward and to the point.
