Is this can(n)on?

Sorry about the delay, guys. Some stuff happened last night beyond our control.
Anyway, we want to thank you for all the feedback about Wednesdays. It looks like we’re going to shoot for a variety of updates, so if you guys want to go ahead and ask any (any!) of the characters a question, well…
Fire away!
Your puns… I simply cannot handle them…!
She looks oddly cute with that cannon.
Hello! I’m a new reader! This comic is so cute, I’m definitely coming back. Is there anything I need to know as someone who has just read this comic? Is there some kind of The Fourth culture? I’ve read comics like that. Gets kinda crazy.
Hi there! We’re so glad to have you!
Honestly, we’re still relatively young as far as webcomics go (especially those by total newbies who don’t have much of a name for themselves already), so we don’t really have a huge “fandom” per se. Pretty much all of our comic’s culture centers around the comments here on the website. We have a bunch of really great readers who comment frequently, so you’ll see familiar icons around here. People love talking about the comic and even trying to predict what they think will happen next. I also love responding to you guys as much as I can! (I’m the artist; the writer, Victor, reads everything but leaves the interacting up to me, for the most part.) Also, we do have pages for fan art and “fan fun” (which is, well, you’ll just have to look at it) up there under “Extras.”
Wh-WHERE DID SHE GET THE CANNON?! My gosh Lorelei… I love her little SRS BUSINESS faces~
Character questions? …umm…so, does Floyd have one shirt, or like, a bunch that look the same? O^O
I second that question.
Thirded. Seriously. What.
Yes, that SRS BSNS face was hilarious. I have something in mind for that exploitable, but work is taking all of my free time at the moment.
That sucks! But I know the feeling. I hope things lighten up for you soon!
Well, obviously she got that cannon from… Erm… Give me a moment on this one and I’ll come up with a logical explanation…
From her inventory of course!
She looted it from the pirate’s inventory before they were carted away.
It’s one of the decorative ones littering the town!
They’re all fully functional, and Blank can use them like a free supply of bombs to find ‘secret doors’ in the town.
And by that, he blows holes into peoples houses and then takes their stuff.
Off panel, to the left of course!
There’s an eccentricity shop there, and a cannonneers, and a gunpowder store.
Lorelei is going to fire herself out of the cannon next, through the hole the cannonball made.
Looks like Lorelei decided to take a level in gunslinger
If this comic ever got as far as grown up Lorelei I can totally see her following in Skarva’s footsteps. If she’s bringing cannons up to Navy buildings now just imagine what she could be capable of with some more years. I don’t know(or remember) if you can do healing magic on yourself, but if you could that would make for a formidable villain.
OK, here goes: Around forts and things they generally keep antique cannons in the yard with little plaques about when it was made and what famous battles that particular cannon was in and what not. Lorelei simply hijacked one of those and, being sidekick to an Evil Lord she knows how these things work of course, resurrected it. They use cannon balls to circle trees, y’no, instead of bricks, and she took one of those. It’s a port town full of pirates, so gunpowder would be easily available. Kids have the ability to move super fast when they want to, so that’s how she got it ready in two frames. There, see? Logical explanation.
THe textures in the background are fabulous!
U mad, brah?
::Spit take::
WHAT. THE HELL.
There’ve been a couple instances lately where I called what was gonna happen in advance.
This is NOT one of those times. HOLY CRAP.
Well, it’s good to see that Lorelei is sticking to her guns, and has a “cannon-do” attitude — even if she does hae a bit of a short fuse at the moment. Clearly it’s worth giving this a shot.
I think that the next comic is going to be a blast — we’ll have a ball!
;P
And her face in that final panel is so cute! ^_^
I really like the effect of your texturing in the brick streets and on the cannon; I’m not sure about it for the walls, confessedly — I think that a smoother texture, perhaps one with a little directionality, might work better there and help to differentiate their materials.
Well, the walls here are supposed to be stone. But to be fair, I used the same brush on the wooden walls, which makes less sense. I’ll try to avoid doing that again. Thanks!
Oh, and as for the rest of that comment… I have nothing to say to you XD
WHERE DID SHE GET THAT?!?
She’s also got that “I’m going to F**KIN’ KILL YOU” Face goin’ on… Skarva taught her well!
Compliment time!
I really love your comic! Really funny, interesting story, and adorable art as well! Keep up the great work!
Oh, thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoy it! We both hope to not only keep it up, but make it even better
Cannon. Lorelei has a cannon. Just…. Hell yes. Yes. Very much yes.
When in doubt, pull out the big guns!
