Me at SNAFU: my comic is a slice-of-life story about a rambunctious mer-kid and her adoptive father.
Me a month later: lets draw a dude’s arm being blown off.
Thank you all for sticking with me through 2019. It’s been some ups and downs over the year, but I’m looking forward to what’s ahead. Thank you for being my readers and my fans. Thank you for always being supportive and kind and understanding.
Here’s to the new year, and I’ll see you all in 2020.
Someone got in arm's way.
And face! Don’t forget she’s blowing off his face!
Was she going for a kill shot or “just” maimed him on purpose.
I have a feeling that Plo Quar’s control of Resonance is such that she did exactly what she intended.
I think she was going for a don’t f*ing touch me shot.
Dave my man, thanks for writing. It’s been a great year for the strip, and I’m looking forward to AAAGH SHE BURNT HIS FACE OFF AAAAAAGH!
Trying real hard not to laugh at her last name being “my dog” in French.
One sixteenth of a moment after I read that, my brain went to the Beatle’s “Michelle”;
Plo-Quar, ma chien,
Sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble
Ma Cerise, Je ris
Ooh, that’s gonna leave a bruise.
“Me at SNAFU: my comic is a slice-of-life story about a rambunctious mer-kid and her adoptive father.”
If your life happens to involve this sort of thing, it’s still slice-of-life.
Life is often stranger than fiction.
Point-blank shot, yikes!
Starting to wonder lately: was Plo Quar’s abandonment of Selkie just to keep her safe, or was there a bit of “reminds me of HIM too much” in there? 🙁
Ooooohhhhhhhhh snap…. I hadn’t considered that…. 😱
After that betrayal, she wouldn’t trust any Sarnothi, and likely not many humans. So just who is the old gal at the orphanage? She left Selkie so she could move quickly. I think that the Sar’teri’s empire is still in danger from Plo Quar.
I think he loved her AFTER she kicked his butt. I hope. I hope he loves her… I hope some part of her loves him too. Strangely enough, I have a strong wish for redemption for this pair. For their own well being and for their people.
Yep… Sticking your gonopodium in angry and unstable… never a good idea.
More like “trying to sell your perfectly nice girlfriend off into torture/war camp” but sure, let’s blame the woman for this… @_@
Yeah like um, that was either a very badly worded comment or the most blatant victim blame I’ve ever seen.
Not a victim. Remember She’s as much a war criminal as anyone else. Mixing business and pleasure is not something you do either..
since most of you have never actually been to war I’m a let you on a leeetle secret. War Crimes are in the eye of who they were inflicted on.
War criminal or hero? The current ruler is a jerk who evicted half the populace under threat of death sooooo…. Plenty of people fight in wars (even on the losing side) and then decide they want a quieter life. Your child’s father putting a power-dampening collar on you while you’re happily sleeping is 100% an moral failing on HIS part.
Scar himself a couple pages back said it wasn’t about right and wrong or justice for him, it was about money.
Yea how… how dare someone be rightfully upset they were betrayed and tried to be sent off to a war cap. Seriously Crouse?
CAMP NOT CAP
curse you, morning fingers not keeping up with brain
Zan,

Must be the prenancy hormones! #sarcasm
Dave;
Thank you for a wonderful year of ups n downs, tension, realease, joy, anger and all those mixed emotions that you play (ply?) us with during the weeks. You are rocking it!

…all this time I’ve been analyzing your name as “Genesee (like Guinevere) Paws”….
I can’t think of much I can add to that expression of gratitude, aside from my concurrence. It has been a year of thrills and surprises, and this comic remains in my top five for darn good reason.
Paz,pas,paws, depends on y’alls’ local accent.
Pacific Northwest, here, although I do (deliberately) use “y’all” when speaking online. In the local parlance and my everyday speech, it’d be “you guys” (gender-neutral, so you’d say it even toward a group of girls).
We’ve got the cot/caught merger, so “paws” would have the general “ah” sound (Dawn caught softer washing, etc.) followed by a voiced fricative (/z/ rather than /s/). I could dig down more precise terms if desired.
I’m actually working on a project to teach English spelling skills, and trying to base it very clearly in the Pacific Northwest accent (with plans to eventually bridge out to other broad accents, including Southern and at least one East Coast accent). So I’m more aware than usual of my speech habits, which has been interesting. Trying to color-code the English vowel patterns is frustrating but also quite fun.
a PNW’er here, too… i use “Y’all” too, i even use it in normal verbal speech. No clue as to WHY, I’m not originally from the South, I’m from Michigan, even though i have been mistakenly attributed as being from there… weird huh?
