I don’t know… when I drew this it was very satisfying. Although Fang isn’t exactly getting much of a comeuppance from Zedwig here, I could feel at least a tinge of the liberation Zedwig is experiencing at even the thought of being free from Fangline. It’s making him so giddy he’s about to jump on the crazy train, if he hasn’t already.

Three days until Nano, everybody! Turn on the sirens and get your outlines cranking! Meanwhile, join the Lint addicts discussion on the NaNo forums to tell us about your plot… so we can steal it. And that’s the royal “we”.

Speaking of nothing, I got a very informative letter from a certain intelligent reader this past week regarding Xylic yelling “Fire!” on last Friday’s page:

I’m not sure if you’ve done the same thing in the past, but one does not “fire” an arrow. Fire assumes there is propulsion behind the projectile. You fire a gun…but you ‘loose’ an arrow, since what makes an arrow go is the kenetic energy created by pulling the arrow back on the bow string.

I always did love physics/semantics talk. So, you see, technically, “Fire!” is wrong, but to our twenty-first century sensibilities it sounds so right. Now we know, and knowing is half the battle. Thanks, Laura!

By the way, I absolutely adore the color palette with the scenes between these two. I would paint in those colors all day.

Thanks for reading!
