my last two comics....

My last two comics are another serious turn in my comic. More importantly, it is the first time I have ever really tried to be visually evocative. I am having to communicate some things rather abstractly.

How did I do? What were the impressions from my last two comics?

The last panel of the first comic (of the two) confuses me, what is it suppose to represent?

Could you give a link so we can see what your talking about?

Edit: Never mind. Your banner wasn't showing up before.

Edit 2: It looks okay to me. I'm able to get pretty much what's going on. (I think I do anyway. Not having read all your archives, I don't really know enough about the plot to be confused by what's happening)

The last panel of the first comic is a fractal. Fractals go on forever. It is blue becuase blue is sad.

As far as "what's going on" check the archives to the start of the month to get an idea of context.

I guess the story starts here:

I often show panels of things other than the characters speaking in my comics. Makes it more interesting. The symbolism of the fractal might be going a little too abstract, but everything else just seems like plain old storytelling. (I like the stack of cans in particular... I chug sooo much Mountain Dew and other sodas when gaming...)

Okay good.

As long as everyone got the impression that he's playing WoW, for a long time, and not to happy about it, it's good.

The Fractal was a shout out to the now-extinct "Good bye Blue Sky" youtube video. It was put together by a WoW addict and set to a very fitting Nine inch Nails song.

You have to be careful with inside jokes like the Fractal, it's alienates a great deal of the people who are reading it.

Yeah, I didn't get it

I guess the fractal was a mistake then.

Like I said, if you google search the video, you'd understand. It isn't really "joke" or a "gag" anyway.
