Description
I feel like one of those kids who are always late for class, the teacher calling out 'TimeRunner? TimeRunner?!' and then you see me skidding past, yelling out 'I'M HERE! I'M STILL HERE! Been here the whole time! HONEST!'
....Sorry for that randomness. My point is I'm still here, posting this amazing comic for those of you who are enjoying it so far
This page...is...
The panel on the left (with Dib pouring water on Zim) is actually what inspired this entire comic, for those of you who are interested. I had that image in my head while I was trying to think up what sort of story I wanted to do. From that one image, the rest of the story began to take shape, and BAM! Here we are.
The image came out WAY better than I imagined it would (as I have never made water look that nice before. Thank you GIMP
)This image, though, was a challenge for me. Those three itty bitty screens in the top panels were hard to figure out, especially the reflection one. But I think they came out nicely
I also appreciate how this one page reveals so much about the story, and yet still doesn't explain where it might be going.
So yeah. Comment, Favorite, Watch
Hope you guys are still enjoying. The next page will be up next week sometime.

(I'm really sorry this took so long to reply, I've been swamped with school stuff and haven't been able to get on DA.)
Rat poison? Geez, Dib. That's harsh.
I mean, considering milk is poisonous to him, it's a wonder Zim didn't keel over from that. (Then again, maybe an a weird roundabout logic, if normal foods like milk and veggies can hurt Zim, maybe actually dangerous stuff wouldn't affect him nearly as much. Who knows. Aliens are weird.)
'this page reveals so much about the story, and yet still doesn't explain where it might be going'. ...Yep, pretty much it right there. You're right- the art on this page is really nice. I especially like how you switched from more your style for the more recent past to the show's style for when they were kids. The silhouettes in red and blue are cool too.
Man, I really feel Dib in that bottom left panel. (I've heard all of those names at least once, personally.) Even Gaz? Wow. Man, my feels on Dib are all over the place on this page. On one hand, he's being a dick to Zim. On the other, he's lashing out because he's so mercilessly hurt by others himself, and I can relate to wanting others to feels as bad as you do about about something. The Eyeballs were probably his last kind of normal interaction, so if all he's interacting with is Zim, someone he has to hate, then all that aggression's just going to spill out, bleeding over his edges.
If he doesn't do something with all this poison he's had to swallow over the years, it's going to burn him up, and who better to let it out on then the alien who's supposedly going to kill everyone, or at least enslave them? And then Zim, who interacts with Dib mostly, gets the feeling that all humans are as spiteful and hateful as Dib, who is only spiteful and hateful because that's how others were to him. It's a cycle.
...Geez, this got long. I'll just end with I really like this page, and I can't wait to see what's coming next!

(Not a problem. We all have those weeks. Hope you're managing)
I figured that was probably the case with Zim 
This is why I enjoyed this page so much. The contrasting between him being an ass and the reason behind him being an ass really does make you think. Do I feel sorry for him? Is his behaviour excused, all things considered?
This is the whole argument of 'the bullied being bullies' sort of thing that I wanted to make note of in this comic.
Personally, I have a long boring opinion on the matter (which I really don't feel like writing out right now...don't want to bore you to tears or anything). It is an interesting topic, though.
Well, we shall have to wait an see with these two. It is an interesting case...
Not a problem for the long comment
I am off to post the next page
