    so long kiddo

    (PSN: Morninglord) (Steam: Morninglord) (WiiU: Morninglord22) I like to record and toss up a lot of random gaming videos here.

    OK this one doesn't really work for me. When you read it the dialogue breaks up the flow of the "narrated" poem... and the fact the "wolf's" line also rhymes (even using the same word) just makes it worse.

    But I do like the "wolf's" giant cupcake.

    Yeah, agreed on the confusing reading. If the third banner was right above the last, so that it read like two couplets with the dialogue half-poem in between, I think that would be very cool. As it was I just stumbled over the strange scansion. I like the art in the last panel, though.

    That mat he's sitting on is... ominous.

    There's no plan, there's no race to be run
    The harder the rain, honey, the sweeter the sun.

    The wolf has 4 fingers on each hand, the boy has 3.

    You get your fourth finger during puberty.

    The wolf's arm position relative to his body in the last panel doesn't seem right. Either his right arm is super long or he has a third arm growing out of his chest.

    I see what you did there, paying homage to Princess Mononoke.

    I'm not sure this "wolf" is concerned with maintaining normal human proportions.
    Or maybe you're onto something with this chest arm thing.

    So the elders sent a lookout
    With what they told him was treat
    But the elders knew full well
    What the Wolf preferred to eat?

    [E]
    Or has hasty speculation
    Let some transgression pass unseen
    Would the boy return home safely
    Had his sword hand not been so keen?

    The Lookouts is one of my favorite comics and Tavis Maiden is one of my favorite artists (are you guys reading Tenko King? You guys should be reading Tenko King!). This is like a match made in heaven for me. Looking forward to more of this.
