But at the same time slightly practical. At least that hat may be useful.

Many thanks. As an aside - setting myself the target of doing 1 a day means I am actually drawing more as a result (as you can see from the art hitting the forum recently). It's quite effective at combating the typical artistic procrastination.

Lurgy not withstanding I have drawn up to and including Sunday's installment - an early shout out to Ralph who you have to thank for the main "punchline" to Sunday's strip.

Wow! A Straxus strip without him actually being it. I bet his audio receptors are burning in that fishbowl he's in.
Gotta give Dirge some karma points for his present idea.

The interlude let me indulge in a cracking bit of punnery.

If I can find some way of doing it, I shall try for a Straxus/Judge Fish crossover before the end of the month!

Superb that one.
Can I bring BW Megatron's rubber duck to your mind?

This is going from strength to strength. It's the final panel punchlines that make or break strips of this length - they trump everything else in terms of importance - and the fish one is the best of all. But without compromising that, you managed to make the first panel a standalone funny also. Exalted.
I think they work best when you finish on the punchline (visual or verbal), without characters providing any follow-up commentary/reaction. Number #7 was perfect because Octane's words were part of the mixed visual/verbal punchline. Number #5 could have been a standard three panels (rather than a squashed-up four) ending on Octane silently holding the mask and snorkel.

Numbers 5 and 7 are great (5 being my personal favourite). Number 6 didn't work for me, I'm afraid - it looked lovely, though.

Number #5 could have been a standard three panels (rather than a squashed-up four) ending on Octane silently holding the mask and snorkel. Martin Bizarrely No 7 was done before No 5. The running order of this is quite fluid as ideas come to me, things get shuffled around. Because I did 7 first and I had the snorkel idea, my gut was to do it in three panels, but being aware of 7 I didn't want it to be a retread, but looking back it should have been. Lesson learned - go with my instinct! I'm glad you enjoyed the first panel - I wanted to throw in more revellers but I'm glad I didn't as it looks like Straxus is having a crap time at a really crap party. A brief interlude on fish antics after today until Monday - but there is more fish/Straxus japery to be had. Andy |

Humour is pretty subjective so not everything is going to be everyone's cup of tea. Though i am glad a lot of the gags are coming through okay. Of all the art so far I do think six is the best myself. Very happy with that. Although - I think Tuesday's might be a winner if I can pull it off properly. (PS - that last sentence will be even filthier once you've read Tuesday's). Andy |
