#435 – More Xylic… and Hope

Check out on the right sidebar I have some status info to help you guys through these last slow updates. Sorry they’re taking so long!

A few people have mentioned wanting to know Ellinya’s story. It is possible that it may be revealed at some future point. Some things I have planned and am ready to announce:

- Various Shades of Fangline will be my NaNoWriMo novel for this November, so it will get a lot of love once November hits. It isn’t going to be about just Fang and Zedwig, but will also be about Xylic and Sangwine, and probably some Al’bert and Camilla.

- An intermittent short form (~20-30 pages long) comic story which is not related to Lint that I will be revealing more info about during the podcast.

- A podcast with Ron and I to answer any lingering questions and to discuss future endeavors. Post your questions here and it will be recorded after the last Lint page is posted (#441).

Thanks for reading and for all the comments!

    Does anyone else notice the music note in the second-to-last panel? Cus i love it. And do all elves, or at least the royal ones, have blue eyes?
  • No ~ Fang has green eyes. So does Ellinya. Although blue eyes are a mark of having fairy blood and is actually very rare along with blond hair, it probably isn't noticeable since there's always a blue-eyed blond-haired person or two on every page since half of my main characters are elven royalty, nobility, or fairies.

    I love Xylic!!!! He's the best!!! Haha! just practicing! I love how Xylic is all like, Ahhh! The tea cup is out to get me!
  • interesting how so easily one can overcome the lost of a loved one...
    sorry for to be so bitter person :P
    yet love the art of the second and last panel, that expression of Hope its priceless

    not to jump down your throat but i feel like you are jumping to conclusions here - if you're referring to sangwine and xylic's feelings over bactine? it's been three months, according to comic #426 - and i don't think sangwine is over it at all. though i agree, xylic looks a bit distracted by all the other things going on now around him. but...i would wait until the nanowrimo novel comes out to see how these two took it and how they move on - i really hope sangwine can move on. if you've read colby's other written works, you know she offers a lot more detail there than you can get in the graphic novel. as far as these pages go, though, we know sangwine misses her badly, he knows this is a dream, and he is relishing his time with her. these scenes are sweet - he's got one more chance to converse with her and he's answering her questions instead of just pressing himself on her...no?

    anyway, nanowrimo month is november, so when the comic's over, we'll still have dessert!

    Hahaha! Ooooh I LOVE the tea drinking lessons!
  • JoeBobBillyBobJunior
    Xylic: GAH!
    Geeves: That was quite stupid, Master Duke.
    Sangwine: .........

    <3 sang's expression!!!
  • lizybeth
    Love panel 2, the expressions are perfect :D
  • lizybeth
    Yay, excited that those other characters will be part of the novel! Love them all!
  • For some reason, Hope's expression in the last panel reminds me of Eva Green in... virtually anything, actually. The slightly malevolent smirk suits her.
  • Wendy
    This page is pure love. The expressions, the hair, the actual content, everything. It made me laugh *and* go AWWWW.
  • Rachael
    hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!! love her face in the last panel...
    who else thinks that xylic is warming up to her a little more than he wanted to at first? *insert giant AWWWWWW!!!*
  • spas
    awesome! i guess we'll still find out whether they hook up or not if xylic is to be part of the next novel - and YAY for another lint novel! that is so exciting! it would be awesome for sang & xylic to bond and feel less alone in the world.

    <hopes> wait, if the last comic is #441, aren't there 6 more updates?</hopes>
  • Maybe! I'm not so spectacular with numbers. I'd have to double-check the script.

    It could be the last page is #440.
  • Rachael
    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • Ladyfox
    Looks like "James" is a dead duck with a cooked goose next time she sees him!
  • Hope, MUST you take it out on that poor, innocent little bird? *sigh*

    Also, her hair is awesome.
  • Phenoca
    Hope looks scary. Yes that is Geeves. Looks like she lived!
  • *whispers* He. Geeves is a "he."
  • Shiqra
    Was that Geeves I saw or am I mistaken?
  • CC
    Hope's expression = <3
  • Shiqra
    Aye - Hope's expression in that last panel is absolute perfection.
  • Rachael
    does anyone else love xylic's face in the last panel, too? they're just perfect together, he looks kinda happy and amused, and she's like MUAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
    and since when has xylic been happy?!?! I'M SO HAPPY FOR HIS HAPPINESS!!!!
  • Mariel
    Love this page!
  • Lini
    That evil look on Hope's face is so perfect. Poor Xylic, having to learn the ins-and-outs of royalty, he'll get it right one day.

    And now, alas, we know how many more pages we have to look forward to! Gogo Colby!! You've done an amazing job so far, and I know we're all anxiously awaiting the denouement of this little adventure. :]
  • Dragon
    The extra time you've been taking definitely shows. I think this is my favorite of the epilogue pages so far.
  • yerk
    lol poor bird
  • Eccentric
