Nothing like a dream sequence for a gratuitous cameo. 😀 Little Miss Muffet is from the webcomic Shards, written and illustrated by my friends Jade Griffin and Trevor Black. Jade and Trevor, I’ve taken the liberty of giving Dream-Muffet a PHD in Electro-Science and Rocketgineering.
I have also created a new Monthly Donation Image based on the last panel of this comic. You can see a sample to the viewer’s-right side. It was a good excuse to do more experimentation with this digi-paint thing I’ve been fiddling with lately.
My original drafts just had Ricky and Tony blasted into space and disappearing into a twinkle of light. If you've seen Pokemon more than twice you know what I am referring too. I like the idea more of them being launched into space for a purpose, though.
Ive not read shards but I was curious who ‘miss muffet’ was in it. So I checked out the bio for her. I think I’m in love(well with an older version of her anyway).
also dont kill me for this but i think buddies should be “buddy’s” or “buddies'” but i suck at english so i could be wrong >.>
“Buddies” is correct in this instance. “Buddy’s” is possessive, signifying that they are in possession of something. But thanks for the mention, never hurts to give the post a second glance.
i think i figured this out now, referring to ‘shards’ as the ‘buddies’, rather than a comic owned by your buddies. makes more sense now.
I like this dream sequence! And I especially like the format on today’s comic.
Your conversation with Kotih got me curious: How do you parse that sentence if _Shards_ doesn’t belong to your buddies?
We’re glad you’re in love with her, Kotih:) She’s my favorite character to play in the rp version of Shards. She’s also fun to draw. She’ll be getting a slightly altered look in the future but her design is the same. Just gonna give her a lil’ better outfit. And who knows, maybe I will do a donation pic of my own that’ll be the adult Miss Muffet. Heh.
I believe it would be: “Little Miss Muffet is from my webcomic buddies, Shards.” normally and like this possessively: “Little Miss Muffet is from my webcomic buddy’s Shards.” but most people pay no attention to proper grammar online so I didn’t mention it. The way Dave is intending it is implying that Shards is the buddies, like referring to someone by name, if I got that correct, Dave? “I like my friend, Dave, who does Selkie.” Now that I look at it, I’d actually have to look up if the way I corrected it and Dave’s way are mutually acceptable or is there one that is reallty wrong… Hm. “Little Miss Muffet is from my webcomic buddies Shards.” vs “Little Miss Muffet is from my webcomic buddies, Shards.”
I suppose I intended it to use Shards as the subject of the sentence, refering to the comic/website as an entity. But at this point, I think I am just gonna take the lazy way out and re-edit the post for grammar. XD
Sitting here at 3am desperately trying to abate insomnia and I’m jealous :), Selkie has the best dreams <3
WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! CAMEOS :)! That little spider girl just crawls into people’s hearts doesn’t she?
not only that, but the PHD is completely plausible lol!
Totally plausible:)
XD I’m impressed with Selkie’s dream. It shows she dreams big… GOD that was like so cheesy. T___T””
She does have the best dreams, though!
Selkie’s dreams are totally awesome Dave.
and omg I can’t believe it she is wearing shoes in her dream.
I <3 Selkie
I just realized Selkie isn’t talking the way she usually does. o3o I only realized once I read “Heck yeah!” and all I could think of was, “Wait…where’s the adorable extra s/s’s? D:”
Selkie never fails to brighten my day! 🙂
We can always use more physicists- although I suspect marine biology is a more likely doctorate!
Wait- does that beg the question? Sorry if this has been asked, but are Selkie’s people salt or fresh water? I remember she rinsed her gills with fresh water, but that wouldn’t’ve been enough to injure her even if her origin’s oceanic.
They function in freshwater.
Ah! Thank you.
Please don’t let Disney change it in the movie.
I don’t think Disney would take a Selkie movie; there aren’t any musical numbers or cute talking animals.
Although, I do think Crook could benefit from a goofy accent…
Ghibli?
How to tell when you’ve been reading/re-reading Selkie too much:
Your co-workers start giving you strange looks and question your sanity for constant use of “Your full of craps!” to be followed by giggling. (Which is only strange as I am a male in my 30s)
Ha ha. Love it!
OMG, I’m in love with this comic so far XD Selkie is adorable.
Looking forward to more epicness! Also, on my birthday, I tend to draw other people fanarts…. so perhaps I’ll have one up on the 25 this month! *is already plotting*
Happy Almost-Birthday!
I don’t want to sound like a prick, but I am not really enjoying this arc very much. I’d much rather get back to the actual story you started with.
I’m sorry about that. But don’t worry, we’ll be back in the waking world before too long.
Man… someday we will have the technology to convert an 8 year old’s dreams to video for the rest of us to watch… and they will rapidly become the most popular form of entertainment we have.
The spidery machine on the kid’s head… Is that a sly 3 reference?
It’s a cameo from the webcomic <http://www.56shards.com>Shards. That’s Little Miss Muffet. 🙂
