The Dreadful - Page 6

How may comics before we see the supporting protagonist who is more 'serious business' and serves as a contrast to her ditsyness, disapproving constantly of her flippant attitude, and criticizing her when she puts her naive ideals before the mission?

EDIT: Im not trying to imply you're being predictable, I just read way too many TV tropes. Sometimes plot themes are used because they're work. No story is completely original, and making it your own is more in execution than in concept.

I do have plans to introduce characters who serve as foils later. I'm not sure how permanent they'll be to the story though. I still haven't decided whether this needs to stick to a story about an individual with characters entering and exiting as the story progresses, or if this should be a story about a team of people (possibly dysfunctional). I might try for both.. Like Kit's individual goal is what gets everyone together and there ends up being multiple plot threads and Kit vs. Jeanne Noelle is just one of them.

A thought: This forum is mislabeled. The Dreadful is not part of Brian's sweeping creative vision. I feel lied to.

Using his success to help his friends get recognized is, though!

Probably!

It's dreadfully misleading!

But, Brian approved of it and posts it and gives me editor type advice on occasion. I think it's okay for the thread to be here with the other NP comics. At the very least for organizational purposes.

I don't actually care. :P I just like being difficult.

Well, it was brought up before somewhere else (I can't remember if it was on another thread here or a different site) so I figured I'd explain my thoughts on it.

Mmmmm such clean art. I always had a thing for female devils so I figured I had to register.
Looking forward to more.

What can we expect the regular update schedule to look like for this one?

MSperoni · 03-03-2011, 03:16 PM

Monday's and Thursdays, unless something happens. I'm told that there's some kinda issue w/ the site at the moment and that's causing some problems with updating today.

I've got pages done up to 15 (working on page 16 right now!) so there's no issue regarding lack of pages. Once Brian gets whatever it is he has to get sorted out, I'm sure there will be a page posted

It's a dreadful delay!
