#415 – The other side of the story

Whew.

Thanks all for helping me reach and even surpass my fundraising goal! If you ever wanted to support or donate to Lint, I only accept donations once a year (unless my equipment explodes), so here’s your chance! The bookmarks ($10) and sketch ($30) incentives are still open until July 1st. Whatever extra I have left I’ll use for assorted art supplies and the other smaller Lint-related expenses that tend to pop up over the year.

Nearly everyone has requested that Zedwig be the subject of their donor sketch, and OH SNAP I have to draw Zedwig again a bunch of times. What torture! Oh woe is me! Please no one else pick him, please, and I mean that in a Brer-Rabbit-and-the-briar-patch kind of a way.

Thanks too for all the suggestions for the omake. Like I said, I’m going to attempt to use all of them, and it’s not too late to submit your idea (there’ve been some realllllly good ones :D ). Look for those to start on next Friday, with this coming Tuesday being my last regular comic page update until Tuesday, July 14th. Family road trip, whee-hah. Pray I’ll survive.

Thanks for reading all.

    wow … I super like this page, Colby!!!

  • Falco

    Gah, what a cliffhanger.
    Go Sangwine~~

  • CC

    I'm really enjoying the run of coloured pages! And I think Fang is doomed here. No weapon, and Sang's allies on their way…

  • spas

    i don't think fang can be redeemed – he will come back to haunt the good guys later if allowed to live. but…i don't think sang can kill his own brother either. agh!

    and what of bactine? <hangs on to seat>

  • Kade

    Love Fang in the 6th panel, such a great pose and expression!

  • Mad-Dawg

    Yay! Colby draws feet just like me. Haha. Take that Barrett. And when do we get to see Al'bert?!? I really like Fang- especially his hair- in the 6th panel. And this is the part where Fang insults Sangwine, does something sinister, and regains the upperhand. Great job Colby. Keep up the good work please. Tis very nice.

  • LeafyGreenTerrorist

    Bactine= x_x?
    Al'bert, can you hear me?! Are you alright?!

  • Zypher

    …Everyone seems to want Fang to win and right now I'm going “Take 'im out, Sangwine! Just make it quick!”

    And I'm dying to know how Bactine is doing!!! Please let us knoooowww!!

    I love this comic, can you tell?

  • Darth Claire

    Poor misguided Fangline.

  • Mariel

    He has his sword… he's just on the floor.

  • Mariel

    Love Sangwine's expression in the fifth panel! <3

  • lizybeth

    Aaaahaha. Everyone wants their own images of Zedwig to hang on their wall and enshrine? I cannot imagine why =P

  • lizybeth

    PS – <3 Sangwine in the third panel. And I've never seen him look so serious as in the last panel…

  • stormcloud

    Oooh, go Sangy! I LIKE what he said in that last panel. He's right. Fang was just a bit of a cry baby, wasn't he? Poor guy . . .

    Sang's pose in panel five is pretty awesome. I love his expression. I love panel six and panel seven. The lines are amazing, added with the coloring and the background. They just look so dynamic and cool–and emotional, too :( Poor Fangy! And Sangwine! WAAAAAH!!!

    Fangwine: Mamaaaaa – life had [i]just[/i] begun! But now I've gone and thrown it all-away : (

    How does that disarming-move (in this page) work? He attacks from the left, and then swipes-down from the right..?

  • http://purnicellin.com/lint colbycheese

    Well if you must know…

    He did a swipe across from the left, knocking Fang off-balance, then twisted this sword over and around to disarm him.

  • Crystal

    yeah but sang's steppin on it! lol

  • Crystal

    yeah i like how he's kinda kneelin at sang's feet…

  • Crystal

    O_O <— hypnotized look……. me: he's…. totally…. amazing!

  • Crystal

    *sniff sniff* so tru, sang… so tru…
    wow fang is a crybaby… seriously, sang's right- wait a couple more years, pretend (if you must) to be a good boy, and you would have survived.

    now… die… or get thrown in jail and don't die, cuz u are kinda cute ^-^

    P.S. Colby? LOVE THE HAIR ^-^

  • Crystal

    omgoodness!
    i have an idea for the dialogue for the next panel!!!
    Fang: i didn't kill him!!!!!!
    Sang: O.O
    Fang: i shot him with a tranquilizer dart and had the guards pull him into the dungeons… he's still there
    Sang: yeah right!!!!
    Fang: i know, softie, right, bro?
    Sang: O.O
    and then fang tries to kill sang… lol weird, right?

  • yerk

    WHERE IS AL'BERT!!!! *cry*

  • Sylvara

    As a critic, I usually see little to nothing in the details of drawings, as the perfect noob I am in the matter, but for some reason the swords movements in the fourth an fifth panels disturbed me.

    I wanted to comment still to express my gratitude. Sharing such talent is very nice of you. I am now a true fan of Lint, thank to Zedwig(mad preferably), to Stump, Hope, Xylic (the sockets), Al'bert, Ali’ce (yes Ali’ce) and even some figurant which each amazed me in a most unique way. It's a shame some has to die, but I'm sure that will be worth the awesome development.

    In fact, you made me want to learn and draw some fantasy stuff. Lint is the first webcomic that game me quality fun from the very first page to the 415th. I went to read about the Bactine and Al'bert blog too, and there as in Lint every line, I am awed at you talent with dialogue and characterization. You make it seems so easy… I feel inapt with a pen now. (If you ever wonder about the grammar & expressions here, sorry, I'm not familiar with English enough to help it yet)

  • http://www.squidoo.com/Webcomic-artists-on-deviantart Flynn

    In other words, Sangwine's going to be flat on his back in a page or two? XD

  • Zypher

    Your grammar is pretty good… but it was Al'ice. XD To match Al'bert. Because I'm obsessed with things like spelling.

    One of these days Colby I'm going to get that fanfiction actually written for you…

  • Lady_Nilstria

    Hey, I voted for Teitnl. :-P

    (Though Zedwig does have his own allure. I think it's the mystery or something, you know, yada yada. :-D )

  • LuckyMrph

    Go Sangwine! Uh HUH! Oh yeah! You rule! ~

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

    Ah : )
    I was just so confused – and I do fencing – so I should have noticed!
    Fencing is fun, in fact. But we only use foil/epee/sabre/rapier, and the only time I've disarmed someone (quite by accident) was when I slipped my blade under his scoreboard-wire, which yanked-out the weapon to which it was attached!

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

    Edit: Disarming people is more fun when using robots… Like when you do a robot-duel, and accidentally disconnect the other robot's circuitry… It was fun to watch that happen, and even more fun to win a medal – because the other robot could no longer work.
