Yes, boys are dense. She practically had to hit me over the head with a 2x4 to get me to take her on a date.

We miss you too. I feel particularly bad for not taking the opportunity to be together more often while you were here.

I watched Angie from across the room in math class for two semesters before I had the courage to say hi...

It's true, they were sort of ne'er-do-wells. Not really, but kind of.

Bactine (and Xylic, in a way) had a real punk attitude in the old days; I never really realized it before, but looking at the way that Bactine had her hair cut real short, her style of dress, and the way she lounged against that wall looking at her fingernails before she noticed Sangwine--that's kind of what it reminds me of. Of course, she has cleaned up, and gotten more sophisticated, and more romantic with the way that Sangwine has shown her the world beyond Mud City, and into her own heart. But at least she still has (or had, whatever tense it might be in her case-present or past) a wild streak..

SQUEEEEEE!!!
I love this page! It's so pretty! I was going to say 'especially Sangwine', but then I would have had to say 'and especially Bactine, and especially Xylic'. So the whole thing is gorgeous. 'Kay?
(I agree with Rachael, too)

That Sangwine would say "I'll never want to wake" is not a good thing, but it's to be expected; he has mortal fallacies and weaknesses just like everyone else. As far as whether or not Bactine is tempting him with it, you'll have to read the next two pages.

She sacrificed everything for him already... I think it's pretty safe to say she selflessly wants the best for him, in any circumstance.

hehe
Xylic: hey watch it, pretty boy!
Bac: O... M... G.... he looked at me!

love that last panel!!!

Sangwine's expression changes VERY slightly in the last panel.

i am so surprised by your reply - interesting! first, it's very exciting to know that you've got much more in mind somewhere, somehow, for sangwine and bactine and the whole lint story - i am thrilled!

i still don't entirely understand your philosophical perspective here, but i like it that it's complicated and possibly even above my head. one thing that you do, for example with henry's storyline, is successfully make your readers feel smart - ha! that is a talent. but here i don't get it and i'm ok with that - maybe i'll understand better at some point when you pick up the story again publicly for us! that is to say that i'm with lyssagirl - it's not that i don't believe in soul mates, per se. i do - believe in the possibility. but...sang says here he'd never want to wake up - that doesn't strike me as a good thing, and it does seem to be what bactine is offering him, tempting him with. besides bactine, the advantages would be beyond the imagination - sangwine could consult with his father and previous heads of state on governing, he could pass a message from his mother to fang, or xylic's mother to him - all kinds of awesome. it's just -- i'd want him to enjoy the smell of hay, and maybe even make friends with al'bert, have children and so many tangible things in the real world too. well, perhaps the one doesn't cancel out the other...i do like the possibilities you raise and discussion you open with this.

I put extra thought into that particular expression, so I hope it came off expressing all the things I was trying to show going through Xylic's mind at that moment.

Xylic can do it :)

I like his face in the last panel!

Yes it would, indeed, be hard.

LyssaGirl — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 10:00:00 -0000

But wont it be hard for Sang to move on, find a nice elf maiden, and produce the next heir to Schloffelwhatsit? (plus it wouldn't be fair for the nice elf maiden if he DREAMS of Bactine) :D

Well, in a way you could say Bactine -is- alive.

I really enjoyed making this page. It was fun to recreate the first scene style now that I've a fair-to-middling art ability. Also, it was fun to draw Bactine's hair short!!

Re: #438 – First Sight

colbycheese — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 09:44:23 -0000

She hasn't asked anything of him.

HOWEVER...

what exactly is wrong with that?

Being permanently united with someone you love doesn't mean you're sequestered from everybody else in the universe for eternity. That would just be silly. That's like saying Xylic is the only family member he can ever have because he can only love one family member forever.

This is only scratching the surface of extremely deep philosophies on love, death, and the afterlife, which really can't be gotten into here, but anyway... it's an ending but it isn't an ending.

Their stories have been written far beyond this point; this just makes for a good stopping place.

spas — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 09:29:23 -0000

i still don't like bactine asking sangwine to be permanently united with a dead woman. i loved them together, but...not like this. anyway, i am still being patient to see how it will end - and loving the fang storylines!

I apologize for any trauma I have caused. :-D
