Remus Makes a Thyla-Scene of Himself

I used to feel lost too, but then I discovered "CLICK TO ENLARGE"!

Moved to a new house this week, and oh man I am not organized at all. Good thing I made this backup comic last week!

Not sure how many people know what they are, but "Tazzy Tigers" aka Thylacines are extinct marsupials that had a wicked crazy gape, which made things very unpleasant when they chewed with their mouth full. Here's the Wikipedia article on them, but heads up, it's not a story with a happy ending. Some people claim they've seen Thylacines alive and well, but it's probably just Bigfoot pranking people. You know how he is.

Oh, and sorry for the lack of date-relevant stuff this year. I do have some comics that are relevant to various holidays and times of the year, but this year was devoted to standalone comics and character introductions. And I'm STILL not done with character introductions. Expect multi-comic story arcs next year, because I'm nearly out of standalones.

If everything goes well, next week's comic will be a "Sunday" with a new character introduction. Hopefully I can make some more backups then too.

Take care and have a happy GENERIC WINTER HOLIDAY!

(Just kidding. Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and all the others too.)

Fish Have Been Dealt a Bad Hand in Life

I did a little shading this time to make up for the lost "Sunday" last month. That, and I just kinda felt like doing it.

I had no difficulty deciding on which species of salmon to draw. Sockeyes are colorful, weird, and interesting.

Next week, back to the normal swing of things!

Fish are Lazy

The factoid format doesn't do it justice. It's called estivation, it involves a mucous cocoon (with lungfish at least), and it's really cool and weird. There's a good video of it HERE. Along with that, you also get to see several lungfish burst forth from a clay brick wall, reborn from their muddy crypt and ready to terrorize the villagers.

I started too late to make the "Sunday" comic happen, sorry. I don't know how noticeable it is, but I experimented with this one. Instead of using the pencil tool for the lines like I normally do, I went with the brush tool instead. It makes the lettering a lot easier. But for the overall look, I'm not sure I like it. I think I'll go with thicker lines next time, and if that doesn't do the trick, I'll go back to the pencil.

Oh, and worth noting, Possum Tails finally has a Facebook page! Throw it a like if you want to stay updated.
