What a nice/concise elderly gentleman. My elderly gentlemen aren't nearly as nice as your elderly gentlemen.

Oh and I also loved all the purple!

Oh and I also loved all the artwork!

Oh and I also loved all the stuff that I related to! (Alarm clock thing especially.)

Gorgeous wash. This is so polished!

It's pretty. I like it.
I can't imagine how you found the time to include so much detail, and still experience your day.

These are so great. I like the old man who talks to you in the street.

thanks so much for the comments, everyone! I've uploaded the rest of the day now, though I'll have to go back and fix that one page that is way brighter reddish than the rest for some reason.

I wasn't going to do any hourlies, but I saw yours at work and I was like "aw, I gotta get in on this too!"

Thanks for sharing your day!

Turnip soup? Hmm. I've never had such a thing.

Aaagh, your comics are so pretty! And your day was pretty awesome! Turnip soup sounds delicious, along with couscous salad. : D

last time I had turnip soup was 9 years ago. It did not end well due to the half a liter of Jack Daniels I had after the dinner...

How do you keep the pages so clean?

Man! There is some poetry in here. "Someone has lost something important to them". And that Chekhov party looks like it was a hell of a time!

colleen · Raven Joined: 29 May 2005 Posts: 87 Location: canada

thanks, guys! yeah, the turnip soup was really good! It had some carrots, dill, a little bit of nutmeg, and almond milk. I'm having it again today for lunch because there was extra.

Darryl, I'm glad you ended up doing some! Did you post them yet?

And -- my panels are really sloppy at full size, I just scale them down a bit.

Incredibly polished work; it looks fantastic. Is ... is everybody in Canada this nice? Even the old man! All the old people around here do is drive badly and hit people with canes. We keep taking them away but they have a stash hidden somewhere.

So fantastic and lovely! You amaze me every year!
How do you manage to make such lovely drawings, and paint them no less!?

There are lots of jerks, but also lots of nice people! Actually, now that I think about it maybe there are more nice people than jerks.

Also I forgot to say that the soup also had fennell in it. Delicious delicious fennell.

Jess, I can't wait to see yours!

I like to pretend that the Dan in your comics is the Dan I know in Nova Scotia, Daniel Espeset, but I bet it's not.

Your comics is so pretty! I had to make mine super hasty, and now I feel like I a loaf.

I can only really echo what everyone else has said. These are pretty and easy to read. Kudos!

colleen · Raven Joined: 29 May 2005 Posts: 87 Location: canada

Liz- sadly it is not the same Dan, but I probably have run into this other dan at some point, halifax is pretty small that way.

Dude these are tops! Warmed my heart. You managed to capture so much pleasing texture of your day, with weather, food, Dorian moments, (Dorian's laugh), quiet moments. Nice and poetic!

I always look forward to your hourlies, Colleen. The fact that you consistently go the extra mile by doing watercolors is a treat.

There were indeed many good Dorian moments!

And thanks Tim, the watercolours don't take too long to do but I really enjoy doing them.

I will never understand people who can get right out of bed and stay out of bed. They’re like an alien species.

Your shading is fantastic Smile
