[Camp Comic] Tuesday, December 13, 2016 - Darkened
If the others were there, he would have taken the hit, Having two friends that see him as they do is precious. Sadly, they are in serious trouble and can't stop him from himself. Lets hope it doesn't get too crazy bad.
"get the knife back" like it was his to begin with, lol. The final two panels definitely recaptured my interest. Question: parts of the rope in the final panel seem to have disappeared. Is that an artistic choice, or did Brian tear through his binds?
and I want to ditto the praise: those last two panels are fantastic, actually I love the alternation between sinistral past and dextral present, until the two are married up in the final frames.
I can tell Brian's having a Randy Orton-esque moment right now. This is what I love about this work of art (the comic). Katie and Adam have, and continue to, capture the human essence and emotion in an artistically rendered storyline, which is absolutely magnificent. Also, I have a question for you lovely people out there in the comments section....Have you ever experienced childhood or teenage bullying, and if so, what would you say to your bully or bullies if you met them today?
"Welcome to the abandoned land, come on in child take my hand. Here there's no work or play, only one bill to pay, there's just five words to say as you go down
@WestIndianAgouti "what would you say to your bully or bullies if you met them today?" A really tough question. I always pride myself in thinking things through, but I never have played this scenario in my head before. I just blocked it I guess.
But that is not an answer to your question. I think if I ever meet them again and it would become a "conversation" it will be short. For me it will bo along the lines of "go away, you are not allowed in my life, my future and my personal universe ever again. You shaped me for better and for worse. Your act is played out. Get of my stage. Yes we were young, no I have not forgiven nor forgotten."
Vision goes fuzzy and, but your focus clear.
No pain, and the taste of something like iron in your mouth.
And after what seems forever, the rage is gone.
Reasoning returns, and with it, the two horrible realizations.
That you've lost control, and you've badly hurt someone.
@Ilze123 Personally, I love your response...The thing is, I've always been fascinated by the phenomenon of bullying, especially the adverse effects of it. I can't imagine the pain you've endured all those years, but at least you know that you never have to experience it again. You may even be able to help otherswho are currently in similar situations...the sky's the limit.
@Ilze123 I also been bullied when I was a kid, The kicker, my mom knew I was being bullied. She did nothing to help me. I won't go into details. Only say that I discovered there was no safe place, not even my home.
Would I want to talk to my former bullies? Not really. I have no desire to talk to any of them.
I don't think I have anything to say to the people who bullied me.
It was bad, it affected me, but hopefully they've changed and have grown as people. I guess the one guy who is in prison has arguably not grown, but hopefully the others have.
I just try to be a good person and be positive to others. Never know what they're going through, what their experiences are, and if nothing else can be a sympathetic ear or try to help as best I can.
We all make mistakes, have wronged others, I don't know why they did what they did to me, but all I can do is live my life as best I can.

Those final two panels are awesome!
Brian tries so hard and they do nothing but push him. He gave them a chance to run away.
I feel bad for what he's going to do.
I am seeking words to praise you both. This story arc is all I hoped it to be so far. I know you will make me cry in the end. You always do
Not smart bullies here.
And your journey to the Camp Side will be complete!
Or as The Doctor said... "Demons run when a good man goes to war"

The road to Hell did not exist, yet you made one.
I wonder how much the game changes for the rest of the comic, once the Ropes Folks see Brian Unleashed.

You're gonna burn in Hell."
