...accidental crooked canines.
Apparently that is a good trait in Japan - considered cute.

And now, for something completely different

It's not just my canines that are crooked. XD I have ORC TEETH.

*looks at links. Decides to continue listening to 'Bye bye, Babylon' in my head instead* LOL

...I'll raise you a Cafe!

...and I have more music! Yay!

Oh, and this

O.O Tam is an Ogre? (orc is Tolkienese for Anglo-Saxon Ogre-goblin)

XD All my front teeth are twisted and crowded, giving them a jagged appearance. And the canines are shoved out to the point where they look like fangs.

Lawtan · Posted 02-29-2016, 05:15 PM

My response: Cool!

Robots are really cool. XD

Lawtan · Posted 02-29-2016, 11:40 PM

So I'm working on a 30 day art improvement challenge... I've gotten my sketch done, I just need to ink it, scan it in, and color it...

Thanks, Law!

Oh, I want a Meccanoid. XD

I own the first three volumes of that series. :x I watched most of the anime, but the anime is loosely based off of the books. Right now I'm basically as far in the books as the anime, the anime being a bit ahead in plot. But the story is kind of different between the two. The guy and girl that the main character knows? The one that was supposed to be her boyfriend and I think a girl that got bullied, they don't follow her in the books, but other than that the plot is pretty similar to an extent.

"Delilah Dirk is a weird little series of books. I mean, I like that about it, and I understand other people do, too. I work hard to make sure it represents my favourite values in the strange ol' comic book medium: like superhero comics, it's colourful, dynamic and exciting. Like newspaper comics, I hope it is funny, accessible, relatable, and maybe even insightful. And like the best "literate" graphic novels, I give it a complete, beginning-middle-end storyline in one book and hopefully some well-rounded characters with depth. Oh, also: no ads.

But since it's weird and hard to pinpoint (like, "who is this book for? Teens? Adults? Kids? Men? Women?"), it's a little bit harder to "sell." Perhaps someone sees the aesthetic, thinks it's a little too Disney, and passes over it. Maybe a boy wants to read it but his mother thinks it's for girls because there's a lady on the cover (true anecdote). Again: weird book.

This is where I ask for your help. If you know someone who might like Delilah Dirk, lend your book to them. Got a niece/daughter/nephew/son/tiny firecracker in your life? It has proven very popular with young readers. They might really like it. Send 'em these links (DD1) (DD2), let them read the first parts of DD1 and DD2. Like many things, I think it's a book you don't know if you like until you get through a few pages.

"But Tony," you say, "this is a popular book. I see it on store shelves. I hear nice things about it."

Yep! THE TURKISH LIEUTENANT has been doing way better than I ever imagined it could. But, to make a long story short – and I'll happily expand on this elsewhere – it is not very financially sustainable. I know I am lucky to be able to make these books and make a little money doing it – that feels like a minor miracle.

So: if you feel that DELILAH DIRK is a thing you like and represents the types of comics you'd like to see, please, tell a friend or loved one about it. Do you know someone who writes/podcasts about comics? Recommend this book to them! If you're willing to do so, or to stick your neck out for DD online, I thank you immensely.

Meanwhile, I'm off to work on Delilah Dirk 3. If you want to follow along on my progress, I have a Tumblr for that and a Twitter feed for that.

Enjoy THE KING'S SHILLING!

Your obt. svt.,
TC"

Guys! 'Delilah Dirk' is good! And it doesn't even have ANY robots in it! Go check it out.
