    My understanding of parkour actually makes this funny, although I don't know how broad an audience you could really reach with that kind of joke and standard of art. Your expressions and style are pretty consistent and emotive, I'd say do less of the bodies and make the most of your skill with face to convey the infos. LOL YUR COMIC IS A PA RIPOFF WITH 2 DUDES TALKIN.

    I love the last panel of your comic :lol:

    Most of your drawings are very good as well, although 18 is a bit scary.

    Well, okay. Yes I know they're two dudes talking. In this comic. I've introduced other characters, in fact gray-shirt just went out on a few dates with a recognizeable Dark Lord. But yes, I'm trying to move away from the concept. What about the sketches?

    edit: Thanks Penguin =)...you think that little innocent child is scary???

    ...

    Yeah, me too.

    I only wish your comic's faces were as nicely structured as your sketches. Quite a few of those are pretty nice. :^:

    Yeah, I really wish I was able to spend more time per comic. That is one thing that, looking back at past comics (even the previous update), really bothers me, is that I can't seem to be consistent with my character's facial structure. I need to figure that one out.

    Its not really a matter of time either, I used to say that about alot of my work until I realised its a lame copout.

    What works for me to keep my characters looking consistant is to make consistant construction. I sketch and sketch until I find the one that I like. Then I take some tracing paper, and break it down into its basic shapes, usually some sized ball, a line, then a chin, then the brow and nose.... Basically the loomis construction. But by putting those construction lines over top of the sketch I already like, I have a reference of sort easier to use than the sketch itself, and easier to rotate and move in space than the sketch itself.

    I'm shocked. A comic that's... actually funny?

    Good job.

    Wow...Thanks...I really didn't expect even three people to know what parkour was, but apparently it IS spreading like they say it is...just last night I saw a kid doing parkour on my favorite spot at the Cinemark, I almost went up to him and hugged him (that would have been wierd....)
