LONG delayed update! I've had a million things to do this past month, but fortunately (?) this weekend I've come down with the flu which has left me unable to do anything but lie on the couch and work on the comic. It's been so long since the last one that I'd suggest readers backtrack two strips to refresh their memories on just what's going on.
George's first heroic rescue of a damsel in distress didn't go quite as hoped...
Yeah... it worked, although for a brief second, I wanted her to slip, and George could catch her hand at the last second and .... let her friggen dangle for a minute until she gets her priorities straight!!
Several people have told me they hope she walks off the end of the ledge :D She's a lot of fun to write, though, so we'll probably see her again. I thought this would make a great opportunity to contrast George's very real problems and her teen angst ones. As well as to finally explain the origin of the Midnight Avenger.
Thanks very much! I do have that in original hi-def art, actually, so something big would be possible... (I've already given some thought to making KFP merchandise but haven't pursued it yet)
And I'm glad that frame stood out. I wanted it to carry a lot of dramatic weight because it pretty much sums up the "origin" of the Midnight Avenger and his whole reason for being - No magic spider bites or fanatical training, just a sort of desperate desire to "make everything OK" without really knowing how.
For a lighthearted YA comic, KFP goes to some weighty places sometimes...
You know, the MA has a fairly impressive "win" rate so far.
Does the fact that i find the way that George think he is totally failing while in reality achieving success to be utterly hilarious in some weird sadistic way to reflect poorly on me as a person?
Shhhh, don't tell him... ;)
The Midnight Avenger's only real superpower is finding the most backwards and embarrassing way to win and then totally not realizing it. It's like a gift.
This is why I would make a horrible super hero.
