#414 – More familial angst

Wow, guys, thanks for the donations; so much generosity! If you want to help me reach my goal, and if you want to know why there’s a goal in the first place, click here.

I’ve got something else going on, too, that I would like some input on. I’m going to be heading to Tennessee for the Purcell Family reuinion for a week and a half starting July 2nd, and though I can’t get 3 extra pages done to fill the time, I’d like to make some extra comics (Omake? Otake? What IS that word…) that are a bit quicker to make to fill the updates. Anyway… if there’s a scenario you’d like to see, no matter how absurd, throw your suggestions this way and I’ll try to impliment them all. :)

Last, I missed getting comments on the last page… you were all too distracted by the fund raiser (which isn’t a terrible thing, to be sure, but I did miss them!)

Thanks for reading!

    Sang still can't grasp that Fang is crazy. I feel bad for Sanguine.

    Ooh! I want to see . . . how about Sanguine, Fang, and Xylic all taking a break and having tea?

  • Lady_Nilstria

    Apparently Fang hasn't realized that the one that created the rift was him. He's rather immature, our Fang, isn't he?

    By the way…Fang…BOO HOO Get ON with it already! I thought you had a life, but apparently I was wrong. You have a mother complex. You may want to go to counseling. Then again, Zedwig failed in that regard, didn't he. Hmm.

    I want to see Teitnl arguing with Sangwine about unicorns. :-D Maybe have Zedwig and or Derf join in as well? That'd make for great discussion. XD

  • http://adorabledesolation.comicgenesis.com/ maglorius

    I think it might be cute to see Fang and Sang on Jerry Springer…

  • Falco

    Fang's hair in the last panel = <3

    What do I want to see? Al'bert… anything involving him… was it 2008 last time we saw him?
    Zedwig vs Teitnl would pretty much be amazing too.

  • Zypher

    Yay, more all color! And I've been DYING for Sangwine, Fang action again! Even if I'm not one hundred percent sure who I want to win… ninty five, maybe…

    Sorry about no comments, Colby. Zypher has life, sadly. It sucks. >.<

  • stormcloud

    Personally, I thought it was their dad who made the rift, whether he meant to or not <.< BUT, I don't know enough about their childhood, so who can say anything? Besides Colby, I mean . . .

    I love Sang's expression in the fourth panel. He's like, “Nyeh!”

    For omake-thingie ideas . . . how about younger Zedwig teaching kiddy Bactine and Hope how to faint like “proper ladies” because Hope roped him into it? Maybe Fang can be laughing in the background . . .

    Okay, stupid idea, I know XD

    I'd like to see Henry's magical ACHOO trick that makes him teleport. What happens when he has a cold and the only thing he has is his magical hanky?

  • Noah

    Yay! Ditto! They should all have tea!

    !Noah!

  • avie101

    i think i've already mentioned how good looking fangline is…… |8(

  • Wendy

    It's an 'omake.' Sometimes I forget it too. I'll just retroactively go back and leave you a comment, then!

  • http://purnicellin.com/lint colbycheese

    I love it, must use that idea…

  • HelenaHermione

    It's all very good, Colby–keep up the good work!

    Oh, and for interesting stuff–how about something with Stump? He hasn't been around a lot either in the last few comics–in the foreground, at least, I don't know about the background. And Gaffer, yes, he was with Stump–the old 'buddies'–but now where have they gone off to? To a drinking game, or just playing cards with Pedro the dragon?

    Then there's that Cigar-Smoking Hermit…

    Or–have Derf trying to be a regular ogre; that might be funny.

    And Al'bert–Where's Al'bert? Is he dead?

  • HelenaHermione

    What about that small, crotchety wizard that gave Derf his voice back?

  • Crystal

    where be the magical explosion?

  • Crystal

    TOTALLY!!!!!!!!!!

  • http://purnicellin.com/lint colbycheese

    Somewhere else!

  • LeafyGreenTerrorist

    I always forget that Fang is an elf xD It's probably the short hair, lack of poshity poshness, and the fact that you can't see how long his ears are.

    I'd like to see everyone just stop, look around, and break out into a dance party with disco lights and all that. I know, dumb, but it would tickle my fancy.

  • anko

    Not only would I like to see the boys go to tea, I would like them to be dressed as pretty princesses while doing it! XD

  • CC

    The facial expressions are so amazing. Especially Sangwine in the fourth panel and Fang in the last. You have such a talent for subtley and clearly conveying a character's thoughts in their expression – I'm always stunned!

  • Ealdor

    Just for once, I'd like to see the villan trip and fall well in full “evil” mode, you know, “You have no idea how much satisfaction that gives m- ack!!”

  • http://autumnestuary.deviantart.com/ AutumnEstuary

    Something involving pink bows and Fang, under duress. :D

  • Mad-Dawg

    I love Sangwine's eyes in the third panel. Hehe. It's like, wow ur crazy–and wow, u just totally screwed up my eyes because ur so crazy. Yay. Go LinT–and u made it to $500. Yay! More LinT!

  • Mad-Dawg

    Oh, and ur coming to Tennessee!! Yeah, u and Barrett should do something together. Teach him ur mad skills… Oh and the Fondue thing that u did was great. Anyway, i agree with Falco. Go Al'bert!! Im thinkin maybe like just an all-out brawl between all the characters–past and present. Or a group shot. Those are always fun.

  • http://purnicellin.com/lint colbycheese

    Me and Barrett are going to do something called the “Purcell Family Reunion” together, wherein I will teach him all of the skill I've gained over the past ten years in two days. It'll involve a montage using “Eye of the Tiger”.

    I second wanting to see old Pedro again. Maybe in a happy mood listening to his band…

  • Crystal

    lol TOTALLY!!! mack lol

  • Crystal

    YESSSSS!!! IT'S AT 106% RIGHT NOW!!! i wonder if it's gettin any higher…

  • Crystal

    um…. the third panel's fang, lol!!! i fink u mean the fourth- that one's hilarious… now fang gets to be the cool one and sang's like HOLY CRUD!!! HELP ME!!!

  • Crystal

    and then bactine's just sitting there like “what the butt i'm dead”… i wonder what sang'll do when he sees that (perhaps take her to Derf's witchdoctor lady?)

  • anonymous squirrel

    My omake suggestion: The Evil Illusionist That Nobody Likes vs. the annoying fangirls that unconditionally adore him.

  • Crystal

    lol good thing i aint his fangirl then lol

  • http://alias.tokojat.com/otw Maelstra

    Oh yes. Otherwise he'll feel slighted.

  • http://www.ardentflame.com/ Purplefire

    Colby!!! It's such a lovely page!!! *swoons* Fang's expression in the final panel is simply divine!!

  • LuckyMrph

    Uh-Oh! Someone has a little black emptiness inside him now doesn't he? I love Sangwine's face in the 3rd panel! <3 And I love Fangline's face in the last one! <3 But I love how all of it is colored even more!

  • Lady_Nilstria

    I disagree, upon the knowledge that Fang was beginning to foster malice against Sang and his family before any of them actually did anything. It started from his mother's death, and it must be said, it's much easier to pay attention to the son that wants to be around you, instead of the one gradually dissolving into an Elven bowl of angst. :-D

  • Lady_Nilstria

    O_O

  • Mariel

    m-ack! WHUMP! … you forgot the sound of him hitting the floor… >8D

  • Lady_Nilstria

    Now what's wrong with unconditionally adoring Teitnl? :-P

    (Ever drawn the man with a unicorn? GYAH HAHAHA!!! XD)

  • whimsicalwishing

    Omake Idea: the Cigar Hermit, Stump, a One-Legged-Zombie-Tailor, and the Disgruntled Leprachaun playing cards! We haven't seen those guys in ages…

    Okay, not necessarily playing cards, but I'd love to see the Cigar Hermit, the Krackon, and the Disgruntled Leprachaun show up again. :)

  • Mad-Dawg

    *Sangwine's face in the fourth panel!* Someone else pointed that out to me too. Hehe. Cus i said the same thing. CONCURENCE!!!!!!!!!! You know, i like the color of Fang's eyes. It really fits. hmmm.

  • http://www.LandOfDestiny.com/ Phenoca

    I would like to see… One of these guys: http://www.purnicellin.com/lint/2004/10/14/1014…
    Interrogate this guy for Derf's location: http://www.purnicellin.com/lint/2009/05/18/0518…
    And avenge his father (because Derf killed him).
    By the way – page 49 is my favourite non-coloured page.

  • anonymous squirrel

    Nothing. Just imagine him dealing with a bunch of giggly girls that refuse to give up though. It's not wrong to want to torment amusing characters a bit is it? :)

  • stormcloud

    Still, as a father it was his duty to comfort Fang–no matter how many years it took, and no matter how “angsty” his son was. He's the dad. I'm sorry, that means you hang around your kid even when–no, especially when–they're not feeling so hot. I figure he did his best, and because of that, Fang could have gotten over it. Probably. However, he chose not to, and when he grew up and really could have let it slide, he chose to remain angry. :D So in that sense, you're correct. He messed himself over. I just don't think he did it when they were kids.
