Aw, poor little guy. Still, this is a very realistic take on the whole situation, with the small yet nice boy getting beaten by the large, mean one, but the girl appreciating the one who's really worthy.

Pictures like these remind us all that, just like "Wall-E", even though it doesn't have paragraphs upon paragraphs of text dialogue, it can still be marvelously breathtaking...

First off, this comic is beautifully done. You picked great "key" scenes and got the point across right away, quickly and beautifully and sweetly. Sure you could have had added detail panels (and not that we'd mind seeing more of your lovely and detailed artwork), but the story is very straightforward and clear. The bittersweet ending is a happy one after all, regardless of how Wendy's feelings for Dipper have changed. At the very least she would be flattered despite the outcome. Oh, and if she saw the look on his face as he rolled up his sleeves and nearly charges at Robbie I bet she'd be even shocked.

To get so beat up either Dipper was relentless or Robbie is a super total jerk. Well, both can be true. Especially for a bigger and older kid, the worst he should have done was push him down. My guess would be that Dipper just kept getting up every time and Robbie couldn't handle it. GO DIPPER! Get your ass kicked, but wear that black eye as a badge of honor.

(If you listen to the Gravity Falls Gossiper podcast one of them tells a similar story but with a much better ending.)


I mean, what he did was noble, and most likely driven by male instincts more than his romantic feelings – at least one step beyond sticking up for a friend. Actually, panel 2 makes Dipper look more sympathetic on that human level, where he doesn't try to take advantage of the situation by trying to hug her or something. Give a gentle pat, lend an ear, or just be there. The scene is true caring. (That tiny bit of sad face and tear showing are so subtle but so very effective.)

Okay, before I start reading way too much into it...

Your artwork is fantastic, and you're certainly industrious when it comes to getting the character's, body language and expressions, just right, and you certainly don't skimp on those gorgeous outside and very detailed inside backgrounds. Oh, and it's nice to see someone who actually knows how clothes behave in different poses (mainly how Wendy's flannel shirt, not being too tight on her, falls when she's leaning forward).

And boy, you have the style down-pat. Amazing really. And their shared smiles make my heart just melt.

When that episode does come where they break up, Dipper will finally make a move just like that.

Well, I can't really assume it will. But there's still the benefit of a doubt.

maxvision92 In reply to DandyAndy1989 [2012-11-13 01:15:09 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, but you spoke like it was an inevitability. I mean, Robbie's a jerk and all, but he really cares for Wendy, and besides, when you consider the implications of the alternative, he's probably a lot more preferable.

DandyAndy1989 In reply to maxvision92 [2012-11-13 01:16:35 +0000 UTC]

There is that. But this was more back when I was sure that it would happen. Dipper should probably just fine another girl to set his eyes on if that's the case. Heck, I even think it'd be funny if Pacifica had a thing for him. Most likely not, but that hasn't been proven false yet, has it?

maxvision92 In reply to DandyAndy1989 [2012-11-13 01:24:13 +0000 UTC]

You were certain that would happen? Interesting.

Maybe they'll put in someone more age-appropriate if they felt that Dipper needed a romantic subplot. It's that age difference that makes me doubt they'd pair him up with Wendy*, that and my personal theory about Wendy.

* It's that same difference that makes me glad that over on Phineas and Ferb, they got rid of the teasing of Ferbnessa.

DandyAndy1989 In reply to maxvision92 [2012-11-13 01:28:07 +0000 UTC]

That was then, this is now.

Yeah, it'd make more sense that way. After all, Dipper shouldn't chase after Wendy forever now that she's taken. Besides, I like the idea of crazy girl hitting on dopey boy.

* Yeah, but now I think they're focusing too hard on Phinabella. Apologies in advance if you're a fan of it. I am, too, but I think Isabella should try dating someone else if she can't get Phineas to notice her.

maxvision92 In reply to DandyAndy1989 [2012-11-13 01:34:56 +0000 UTC]

What changed?

* Eh, I don't really pay attention to Phinabella. The only thing that drew my attention to Ferbnessa was that shopping mall escapade, but it sort of stopped after that. Either they forgot about it, decided it was kinda the wrong message, or Ferb just outgrew his crush on Vanessa, take your pick.

DandyAndy1989 In reply to maxvision92 [2012-11-13 01:39:46 +0000 UTC]

Well, sort of what you said about it. And now that I look at it, Dipper is a little too young for her and should try finding someone more his age. And, again, it'd be funny if the girl he's looking for was Pacifica.

Ah.

Though confidentially, just between you and me, I kinda liked *toongrowner 's idea of a ten-year-old Vanessa. Shame he stopped doing it.

MWolfL In reply to ??? [2012-09-08 21:39:37 +0000 UTC]

I was thinking: are you going to continue this story or leave it off here?

Because I thought of a conclusion: later on, before Wendy leaves, she gives Dipper a kiss on the cheek to thank him for standing up to Robbie for her. This leaves Dipper lovestruck. Then later, in Thompson's van (or however she gets home), Wendy daydreams about her and Dipper being a couple.

You don't have to create a conclusion, but I'd love to see it if you do.

MWolfL In reply to ??? [2012-09-08 20:11:54 +0000 UTC]

Awesome! What I like most is that Dipper fought an older guy just for Wendy's sake.

Though I wonder what Robbie did to upset Wendy so much....

Truthfully, I've been wondering that if maybe Robbie just has an emotional problem, like something bad happened to him when he was younger and he hasn't gotten over it, and that's why he acts moody and like a jerk at times. It also could explain the bleeding heart on his jacket: it represents what he feels on the inside.
