Ok this is wired but it’s really good at the same time. Maybe if things were handled better, then Ludwig would have probably never almost killed himself.

now that last panel was completely unexpected but i suppose they have to get those robes from somewhere

i see that cut on iggys arm, it looks pretty recent from what i can tell, or is it still from the beginning? as i can't recall an other time he did cut his arm after then. but i'm not sure how they last. but if i'm correct this story spans about one year, and once i saw someone who had a large cut down her arm like iggy's but i don't remember seeing it for too long. and i'm pretty sure his skin would have fused together by now, unless of course, it is a new one.  

i just saw that tag, asswhooping

anyways that is some great work on ludwigs and iggys positioning up in the top left panel i would have had some considerable trouble with that. 
and i have to say i really like how iggy looks in the last panel, but that's probably because i have an odd fondness for iggies with cat lips. hence why i draw him with cat lips even though i know that he does have straight lips. 
aww, boo boo has a heart shaped patch collection but she looks so much more serious here, and it makes her look a lot more mature. but of course that is only appropriate for the situation.

you know i never thought about it before, but you lay out your panels quite nicely. they are easy to follow and you know which one comes first. and when you're making something like this the panels have to be easy to follow as the story it's self is complex. i have seen comics where everything was unclear. the panels meant to emphasize only created confusion. i think they tried to hard when it could have been done much more simpler, thus would have conveyed the events better.

This is a flashback to the end of chapter 7 and beginning of 8, during Iggy's escape from Freaky Fred's and when Ludwig admits his involvement with Iggy's hospital admission, and his motivations for it. It's so long ago ! But it also explains the scar, from his suicide attempt, which hadn't healed fully yet. In between Larry's birth and Iggy's return to the Institute Iggy must have decided that his brother deserved an asswhooping. Ludwig's confession and surrender must have spared him getting shanked to death. That's how brotherhood works!

I gave Iggy cat lips to give the impression that he's tilting his head backwards and looking down on the viewer in disdain. It makes him look even taller and more frightening. Ludwig must have worked on those robes in between putting together a class action suit against Clawdia. Boo Boo wears her pink dress over her robe. I think she doesn't really feel decently dressed unless she's wearing it. Poor thing...

Aww, thanks so much! Not to brag or anything, but the story is complicated enough as it is, which is why I try to keep the panels at roughly the same size and shape, and space them out with a black "backing board".

It's not that difficult making that pose in the top left panel. I always start with positioning the faces, and if I can get the faces right 92% of the time, the rest basically draws itself. However my characters are more human-like than their official artwork, and that makes a lot of poses a lot easer

ah okay, that makes a lot more sense

and now that you say it, i have seen his lips like that in the never games, if looked up at that is. 

ah well, i always have trouble positioning figures when they are in some sort of close contact with each other. 

and sorry for the late and quite short reply, i guess i just wasn't sure what to say, but i felt bad giving you nothing in return for such a nice response that you gave me

It was good I made homemade fudge. It was good, but next time I'll only use half the butter. The flavor was nice, but it was a little too greasy for me.

I've been having those migraine attacks again. Six days in a row, that's a new record. It's why my previous reply was so short, and why I've been pretty quiet lately. Regular panadol takes the edge of the headaches, but does nothing for the dizziness, I'm afraid. The last 24 hours have been pain free, thank goodness, so I made the best of them and cleaned the house and updated my happy story.

The last few weeks have been pretty rough on all of us, haven't they?

Sees thumbnail, thinks:
OOH MOAR IGGYLUDDY SLASH!   
Clicks on it... um, no, just Iggy getting all sensually murderous with Ludwig.  Ludwig would almost enjoy being murdered by his love, wouldn't he?  
Oh yeah, the plot... Um, how exactly was he using Iggy for revenge?  The entire story seemed more a plot of Clawdia's design.  Did Ludwig's plot flop?  Or did Iggy turn the tables on both of them?  And how is being used as a guinea pig for the antidote a bad thing, wouldn't Iggy gladly consent to try ANYTHING for a shot at not feeling like a Silentium zombie?

Iggy was a lot younger, at least more immature, and judging by their relationship in the stories this is based on, Iggy would follow his brother anywhere. Not so much anymore as he has learned to think for himself. Ludwig testing Imagicillin on the SOTE inmates is ironic in that it's just as irresponsible as what the story's villain is doing, and hardly altruistically motivated. The end does not at all justify the means with Ludwig's drug either. Iggy doesn't care much about riches and wants to help his friends in order to earn back his father's love, something he hadn't really lost in the first place. And while Iggy's condition certainly qualified him for a hospital admission, there's one thing he doesn't have in common with the other inmates at the SOTE ward. What wasn't that hard for him to figure out, and it sure tied up a lot of loose ends

What is that exactly, a properly made formal diagnosis?
It's funny how Roy vandalizes everything in your comics, especially since it seems he was taught the Cyrillic alphabet on accident  I can't read what he wrote below "Roy Rulez" though... and that poster looks like one of those 3D molecular structures you see on Wikipedia where they fill in the space between some of the angles.  Are those bottles for baby Larry?  What about that bee stuff?  He's not feeding honey to an infant, is he?  Is that his degree above there on the wall?
Well, of course Ludwig knows a lot about dressmaking; he designs the costumes for all the mechanical ballerinas in his pompous ass musical productions, doesn't he?  It must be really annoying to read the credits for one of his shows; all his name, except for whoever wrote the original version of the songs (if it's an adaptation as opposed to an original play that is) and one or two guest supporting actors/actresses.

No... It's an occurrence which ties all the members together, except for Iggy.  It may not make sense at first, but it will.
"Roy rulez" and "AIM TOADILY CULE" is everywhere in the castle. Ludwig gave up cleaning it up a long time ago, about the same time his brother outgrew it.
It's a chart over a constellation called "The Unshellable". Ludwig likes it; somehow it feels like home to him. Must be the size. It's the home of a lot of galaxies where several potion ingredients either illegal, non-native or too expensive can be found and collected freely and unlimited.
It's not his degree, it's a chart over care of prematurely hatched baby Koopas. It was cut off by the scanner and I didn't think anyone would ask. But yes, that's Baby Larry bottles, Baby Larry's container of BA. Bee's Fortified Formula for Prems, and Baby Larry's vials of Questionitis, MMR and Pertussis vaccinations. Premature little Koopas often have poor immune systems and need a little extra boost, if I'm to believe the chart. Ludwig isn't taking any chances either.

CosmicKitten89 In reply to EdieMammon [2015-01-07 02:09:38 +0000 UTC]

Questionitis?  What is that, a disease that causes them to pester adults by asking too many questions?  Larry in BtbK would die if he were injected with those before he was cured of the KIV virus, which rendered his immune system virtually nonfunctional.  Is that formula a bee product?  Honey containers often contain warnings not to give to children under one year of age, but maybe it's different for Koopas.  That's funny, because I am referencing the Honeyhive Galaxy in the next chapter of BtbK, which I started before I got into the holiday story frenzy.  I really hope I get it finished before the end of Norwegian Christmas at least, isn't the first week of January too long to be still writing a Christmas story?  My holiday anxiety is over, which causes me to be less inclined to update since writing for me is a therapeutic way to channel anxiety, plus I've been fooling around on some other website, but I did begin the next chapter, though I should probably reread Iggy's Poison, in particular the Wolfie chapters before I finish it
