I type incredibly fast. And yes, I work for money in these fields. It is always up to the decision of the artist, and I absolutely respect the decision of the artist. Always. However, constructive criticism is extremely important, and conversation with fans and peers is also important.

So, cheers! And I love the next page!

I can see how in the third panel some would complain about a break through the fourth wall, but I didn’t even notice that at all. I saw it as him being surprised or something like that.

Also, I absolutely love this. I can not wait for the next one.

Okay, well I was willing to give your idea a chance and ran it by the LJ… preliminary conversation seems to show that other people did not notice any jarring or discrepancy! Since I didn’t as well I’m just going to keep the panel the way it is. Thank you though for pointing out that it looked odd to you, half the time people say that to me I tend to agree right away! It always helps to have different perspectives

Thanks again for commenting!

Get a life, theatre major. There is nothing wrong with the way the panels on this page have been laid out.

I know everyone else has said this already, but it really is some stunning work (I mean the graphic novel as a whole, not just this page). As for the last panel, as soon as I saw it, my mind figured that he was looking up at Angora sitting in a tree. Even if it isn’t Angora, it simply looks like a part to continue to the next page. I’ve seen quite a few graphic novels in which a character is staring directly at the reader, but he’s looking at something in *that direction*, not breaking the fourth wall. Then again, I’m not an artist (or at least, not a true one. ), just a general readers opinion of what it looks like. I’m sure that if you do a lot of art, or cinematographic work, you look at all the little things. But not everyone is going to look at it that way. Anyway, my opinion on it doesn’t matter much, so just keep doing what you do best. ^_^

*blinks* That was really very ranty, you must take your fourth wall business quite serious…

Well, my first glance over the comic there was no thought in my mind that he was staring ‘through’ the coming, it looked to me that he was startled by something, like a deer caught in headlights. I even grinned a bit to see it was his precious moonshine, like a gift from the heavens. Even now going back and staring at it, he still doesn’t look like he’s looking at me. I have to completely stare at the comic intently and imagine him looking at me to even see it in the slightest… and then I start to feel a little weird trying to get a comic character to stare at me.

On a different note, wonderful comic. I always hope for surprise updates because I love reading it so much. Such nice coloring and original art. Thumbs up from me.

*Oh, and P.S. Don’t change a thing with that panel, it’s great. If you move his eyes it’ll look like some one is trying to sneak up on him or something, totally ruining the effect of finding his glorious booze.
