No major GIMP'n here, just added in text bubbles and touched up the pictures. I hurried this one out in hopes of putting some time into the next comics , for this was just storytelling!

Wonderful as always. Your story is amoung the best. Still waiting for your comment on my comic.

P.S. Not all comics need flashy GIMP. This one is fine without, in fact, even though it's lacking GIMP it's one of the best so far.

ADVICE: People read from left to right, up to down. Put your text bubles so they work that way. Imagine an arrow from top left to bottom right. Put all text in order of it being siad. it avoids confusion. Sometimes it looks like they're responding to something that hasn't been said yet. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR THE COMIC TO BE GOOD. TRUST ME ON THIS ONE THING.

I know, I know, I know, I know! I'm just too damned lazy to do it. DP has called me on this countless times before . In fact... I think he called me on this in every comic I've ever done! But the positioning of the figures just never occur to me during the shoots .

I love the story in this one! You pitless bastard! I've got to use that sometime or make it my catch phrase.

Zeph is right, Sial. It gets very confusing sometimes.

But I like how you structured the story in this one, even though it doesn't have alot of effects!

Wow! Even without effects (which you don't need in this particular comic) it's still awesome!!

Love the storyline! I can't wait till they break him out!

This one is one of your best comics so far. great story!

Oh, and about catching up, I don't need that, I have followed this story since your first comic and I have really enjoyed it.
Can't wait for the next part!

Just try to think of the text bubles when you take your photos. That's why my photos are sometimes with lots of empty space over the head before edited. It looks stupid, but it allows you to line them up in any way you like.

If??

I sure hope they do! I want to see a great escape/battle scene!!

They do. How I know? Go re-read Sialboats Interview. They're good for something after all!

I leaked no secrets in there.... !

That was great! I loved that prison cell.

I never thought of a prison cell, actually. More of a converted meeting room .

Nice prison, (i like all your comics )

Nice enough, except you mixed up Ied and Turaki's names again (first panel ). And I might as well second everything Zeph said about speech bubbles.

GODAMNIT! I can't believe I did that again 'oh: (I had at first intended for the Colonel to have the last name "Iedydrie", it seems to be a reflex).

Sialboats wrote:I had at first intended for the Colonel to have the last name "Iedydrie"...

Thank Krishna you didn't, half the forums wouldn't be able to pronounce it, let alone spell it.

Maybe this'll help (print it out for future reference):

Colonel Turaki
Commander Ied

Heh. It's out Lukes . Check it out!

Very nice Sial, as usual again. Can you make crappy comics as well? I bet you can't.
