    So, last comic was kind of a "Here, hold my grog".

    Looks like Levena has left has left the party. Question is, will Zac be any good without her?
    Oh, and the dragon turned out to be a regular dragon. Not a cat or a mouse, lol. Greatest question of the century…

    So, regarding panels 3 & 4……

    Is that a magic ship-mounted bow that quadruples the size of the 5-foot arrows it launches at targets, or did a baby 5-foot-long sky shark join the fight….?

      That’s a fixed ballista, not a handheld bow.

        Either way, they have a point
        The shaft in panel three is half as long as the shaft that goes through the flark in panel four, and the string (well, rope considering the size of the ‘bow’) isn’t taught enough, so maybe Rich should move the arrow tip further out to show Lord Dave is still pulling back

            In that case, the guy manning the ballista is a show-off, aiming for smaller, harder-to-hit, less dangerous targets instead of taking out the bigger man-chomping ones (see panel 3 at https://yafgc.net/comic/3187-flying-frenzy/ for reference)…… πŸ˜‰

          It’s foreshortened. Perspective distortion. Also the tension is in the arms of the ballista, it’s not an elastic rope.

          • Guesticus
            February 14, 2019, 1:55 am | #

            Knew that the tension is in the arms, the string is simply used to bend them and to power the shaft

            Not going to get into a fight over this (as you will win), butt Dave looks too close to the side for it to be perspective

            It could be a shark wearing an arrow version of one of those hats with the fake cleaver through the head πŸ˜€

            Would explain the slight kink in the arrow shaft…

            It doesn’t matter. You have artistic license — use it! You’re telling a story, not making a documentary. The art is fine. The shaft is the size it needs to be in each panel, for the panel to look right. Panel 3: coiled strength, effort, setting up for… Panel 4: "Wow! Nailed that big one REAL good!"

        Didn’t look like a hand-held bow, with the little mount attached to the bow. I wasn’t sure it could be called a ballista, as I always visualized a ballista as a giant crossbow.

          February 13, 2019, 7:56 pm | # | Reply

          Yeah, most ballista do look like giant crossbow rather than an oversized longbow
          So, this bow is simply a hybrid: the size of a ballista with the compactness of a longbow (with the draw back being only someone with tremendous upper body strength can use it)

    …I’m kind of wondering about the land below these flying sharks. Do they float up to the top of the atmosphere when they die, like goldfish in a tank, or does gravity do it’s thing and bring them crashing down, to wreak a final act of havoc and destruction upon wherever they may land.

    Sharks can’t catch a break. They’re slaughtered en mass in the oceans. Trapped by tornadoes on TV and blasted out of the sky here. I’m becoming a fan of the Rannities.

    Tension in the bow etc – the drawing could be at any point of the sequence between placing the arrow pulling back on the string and releasing the arrow – so tension is not necessarily needing to be shown. B the arrow in the mounted bow could easily be a onen that extends by sliding to full extent telescopically. C it is a magical universe – which allows for anything Rich wants really

    Not sure where the hostility is coming from

    One reader mentioned panel three and four and difference in size between the arrow shown in each, another reader made a suggestion and personally proffered a possible solution which you seem to have viewed as an attack

    You are a great artist and storyteller, have been saying that for years (wouldn’t still be here otherwise), do not believe have ever attacked your work or you personally, and when _have_ made a negative comment, it’s because you have made the characters _real_, and sometimes they do something some people don’t like, or simply their personality is unpleasant to some people, just like some people don’t like Kylo Ren and will figuratively throw vegetables at them, and yes, some people take it too far and attack the actor offscreen, butt that is not me, do know how to separate an actor from their role (and vice versa)

      It’s a comic. Not the whole world. Look at it in that way and you’ll see it in perspective – assuming Rich decides to draw it in 3D πŸ˜›

        We may not have seen the whole world (have we been told its name yet?) butt each character is _part_ of that world, and each character is, for the large part, an individual

        Wait, you were referring to _our_ world? o_O
        If there is any fault in me about ‘lack of perspective’, personally blame "The Number of the Beast", after reading that, can no longer view anything as simply ‘a work of fiction’, whether it be a book, a movie or a TV show, because of that book, view them all as portal giving us a glimpse into another world, and in those worlds, all those characters are as real as you or the author
