You should all go check it out. [teamspecialolympics.com]

And tell me what you think, natch.

It's cool! And weird! And c00l!~

Now Tynic, the bone would get in the way of his "bone", unless he's enjoying the marrow center of it.

It IS inappropriate though.

Strangely appealing. The naive artistic style for the characters seems to match their nascent personalities, while the cross-hatching and unusual curvature of both landscape and buildings effectively sets the scene. I look forward to future installments. Very nice work.

I think this would be much more successful without the narration scrolls. Were I addressing the writer instead of the artist, I would probably suggest letting the reader figure things out (e.g., that Sally and Thumb are orphans) as the story progresses. But with only two pages to view so far, this criticism is minor at best.

In Response to mkinyon (#29985):

I think the scrolls worked fine. It tells us where they are, who they are, and what's going on. You don't always need to learn about the characters & locations when two paragraphs sums it up. I believe it would have taken a while to establish what we know right now.

But that's just my $0.02.

That additional element of mystery is precisely what I would have preferred. But this is really just picking at nits. Which is not meant to suggest that we're discussing louse eggs or candelas per square meter.

In Response to Rich (#29980):

You've never heard of a boned ham?

Also, thanks, guys. Comments are duly noted, although whether they are subsequently conformed to shall remain a mystery for the time being. But not for very long! Hopefully we'll be able to stick to a weekly update schedule for this, so stay tuned. Also, check out some of the other comics on the site. There are lots, and they're good.

Wow, that may be the wierdest-looking website I've ever seen... but I think its really cool!

cool check this out too: http://shupshop.com [shupshop.com]

That's a disaster of a homepage.

I didn't even want to look any deeper, sorry.

In Response to zamphir (#30326):

Any URL which sounds like the name of a toothless supporting character from an 80s Kung Fu movie is going to scare me off, I'm afraid.

Chapter two [teamspecialolympics.com] is up, by the way.

In Response to tynic (#30327):

... you know, in case you can't read my sig. Fuck, I forgot I put that in there.

Am now overly self-promoted.

In Response to zamphir (#30326):

I think it's a brillant thesis on the nature of nothingness, or white noise.

In Response to snipergirl (#30329):

As Wittgenstein said, what cannot be spoken about must be put into a homepage.

Well, it was something like that.

I guess Thumb hasn't learned "stop, drop, and roll".

In Response to Rich (#30355):

Neither of them are particularly bright, frankly. Malnutrition and poor genetic material, I suspect.

In Response to tynic (#30361):

It is very difficult to write beyond the level of your own intelligence, this is true.

In Response to zamphir (#30362):

A remark worthy of your venerable years, I see.

In Response to tynic (#30363):

He's getting in touch with his inner Zamphir. Won't be long before he dyes his hair black, grows a cow lick, and starts saving for a Harley.

In Response to unFalln (#30365):

So you mean inner Zamphir = midlife crisis?

In Response to mkinyon (#30371):

No. He means that deep down the Z-Man is da Fonz, or possibly hangs out at leather bars...

... or both.

In Response to snipergirl (#30376):

or possibly hangs out at leather bars...

That appears to be only your fantasy...

In Response to zamphir (#30378):

Oh, Z-Man, PLEASE tell me it's TRUE!

*gasp*

*swoon*

In Response to snipergirl (#30376):

inner Zamphir = midlife crisis?

He means that deep down the Z-Man is da Fonz, or possibly hangs out at leather bars

And the difference is what, exactly?

In Response to mkinyon (#30380):

Sex appeal.

In Response to snipergirl (#30392):

I see. Neither Henry Winkler [jumptheshark.com] nor leather bars really do it for me. In the latter case, it's hard to get into the moment when you're worrying about spilling your drink and spoiling the leather.

Now formica, that's a different story.
