Description More Night Vale stuff! Carlos sits Cecil down for a full-scale exam For Science, starting with that lovely (alleged) third eye.

Even I think my Carlos is hot, but then, I have a terrific weakness for dark-haired dudes going gray at the temples.

I recycled my octopus from the last drawing. I worked really hard on it, and also, I'm lazy.

Hey, no pressure, but if you're ever sitting around doing some manual task and you want something fun to listen to, Welcome to Night Vale is a pretty great diversion. Then you can see what the fuss is all about!

the way Cecil's holding his hands in a sort of relaxed professor pose.

I think I let myself get away with hiding hands or like tucking them into easy positions too often. This was hard but fun!

Hot diggety damn, your art never fails to make me smile, and I'm so happy that you've gotten into Night Vale! In fact, I think we maybe decided to start listening to it at around the same time, which is awesome.Β

That is awesome. C: Man, I was so opposed to it before. So annoyed by the flux of Night Vale shit on my Tumblr dash, like, What the hell is this? And I angrily stomped over to YouTube to look it up, and there you go, ha ha.

Is it bad that the first thing I noticed is that you made Cecil's Third Eye violet? And that it matches his shirt? teehee. You're totally spoiling me with geekery, and I love it so much. I love the contrasts in their faces, how concentrated and wowed Carlos is against the ease of Cecil. He doesn't even seem to care that his glasses are drooping.Β

It's an unabashed signature thing with you, I think, with how glasses on a character/person actually happen to go with the vibe. Like Tarantino and feet. It reflects your own bespeckled behavior, I bet. Taylor's cocky horn-rimmed tortie specks are still some of my fave

It amuses me that if it weren't for his third eye looking dead on at Carlos, Cecil would have a love struck expression. Β 


Thank you for helping me find this series. Β I have know listened to all 31 episodes that I downloaded, you were right about not being able to stop once you started to listen to them. Β

Without eyebrows, I feel like a person's expression would be harder to judge. I think his third eye is probably feelin' pretty lovestruck, too.


And hooray! I'm so glad you got into this, too. The episodes are like chips, right? You can't stop at just one or two.

You know the podcast is good when it's engrossing even when Cecil's not talking about Carlos, which is of course what we're all waiting for. It's funny, though -- when I first started listening, I thought his voice was dull as hell. So crisp and wooden. I don't feel that way at all anymore, and in fact when I went back to the first episode to listen all over again, I was surprised by how sort of gentle he sounds. The second episode, the way he says "Good night, listeners" is very sweet. And then there's last night's, ha! "GOOD NIGHT." DOOOM.

iAmLovely In reply to lily-fox [2013-09-16 23:21:46 +0000 UTC]

While I really do like it when he starts talking about Carlos, I am not sure it is what I am waiting for. Β Don't get me wrong, I would love for him to gush about Carlos more. Β I would also be interested in learning more about Josie, Kevin, and the faceless old woman. Β Really I would be happy if all broadcasting time about spiders, was replaced with just about anything else. Β 


Really? Β When I first started listening I thought the premise sounded really forced. Β It was his voice and the fan base that got me to keep listening until he started talking about Carlos. Β After that I was hooked and it seemed perfectly natural. Β I love the ways he says good night, although my favorite is when he sounds like he could be tucking us in or kissing Carlos on the forehead as he says it with such a strong desire for there to be a good night.

Heh... Night Vale fandom artists are masters of the sneaky gif, right? I'm thinking he would be familiar enough with Cecil's face that he wouldn't be shocked by much of anything it could offer.

The most beautiful guy I ever knew was a guy in my 12th grade Spanish class. Classic cleancut "nerd" complete with parted hair and sweater vests, Typical Indian coloring and sharp features, and the clincher were his pale brown eyes that ranged from golden amber to smokey orange. They were unreal.


Unfortunately, he was going steady with another girl, so I had a snowball's chance.
