Is this hero really so stupid that he can't tell the difference between that robot and a real dog?

Wouldn't that talking have tipped him off?
Undead
Thanks for the quick 'thonging', you guys are fast!

I'm not sure exactly what you mean.

Are you referring to this page or the previous one?
Arch~Angel
Any of the pages where, after hearing the robot talk and seeing that it clearly is not a real dog, the hero tries to pet it.

Is this supposed to be a Dr. Who spoof?

I think Jack was just trying to get close enough to K-9 to touch him. (and/or grab/knock over)
It looked to Jack like a robot terrier,and not threatening at all.

He was working from the assumption that if it was built to look like a dog, it was probably programed to act like a dog.
(albeit, a talking dog)

Often, Jack's assumptions are wrong.

Not at all.

Jack 'wished' for a TARDIS, so he got one.
Because of the nature of the Nexus, it has to be there for a reason, and it has to make sense.
(at least within the context of the story) Eventually, it will.

He also asked for an 'abandoned futuristic city with zombies', which will also have to make sense before this is over.

The only question there, will be if Jack survives long enough to get to the bottom of things.
(or in this case, the top.)

There's too much dialogue for one page. You need to make more panels showing various methods of interaction between the two characters...Treat it like you would a movie or tv show. Think about camera angles and cuts. Think about blocking the characters, that is - DESIGN each frame, make every element support the other as well as the whole page. For example, the first frame shows jack almost off camera and k-9 small to enforce the idea how jack is percieved as a threat 'coming in the back door' and show k9 small to emphasize how he looks to jack, but the middle frame shows k9 is the one in control. The bottom left frame emphasizes the difference in size and brings the viewer to focus on how k9 feels towards a potential threat. The final frame shows jack trying to establish himself. I admit the design of the page itself isn't very good, but you get the idea...

Just a quick sketch to show what I'm talking about...

I agree Drac. I think Undead may feel some pressure from us fans to pump out a lot of action with just one episode. Making those separate drawings would take more time.

UD, I love keeping up with your comic, but allow yourself some time to work out each page. We are watching a work in progress, something most movie goers, comic and book readers never get to see. Once it is all done, one will be able to read through the entire thing in less time than it took you to draw one page.

I am enjoying watching the process of your creation.

I've noticed that you use this line a lot when you can't come up with an answer
that doesn't make you look stupid.

Thanks, Drac!

The advice is always appreciated.


I'm still nowhere near getting the format right. Will do better on the next one.

Actually answers are easy.
Especially if you're just trying to be pithy.

What I wanted to do for AA was actually take the time to answer his question.

Before I did, I wanted to make sure I understood what he was complaining about.

Thanks Anhky.

I've got a really long way to go.
The whole point of this comic was to start it working before I was ready.

I'm still trying to get the hang of drawing at all. :)

You guys have all been a huge help.

Nothing like pinning your kid's "artwork" on the refrigerator.
