Kenealy Fri, 24 Oct 2008 07:03:53 +0000 http://www.drawingsilence.com/?p=195#comment-89 See, this is a great example of what I was talking about back on page #20 - if you'd wanted us to be fooled, to think Protagonist's reaction was approprate to the situation, you'd have made his screaming the last panel under the zombies. The fact that screaming is instead next to a zombie-less panel, with a mere beat, rather than a heart racing, fingertapping page turner, like between this page and the previous makes for a great, sudden, yet exceptionally smooth, timely "huh?" I don't know whether to be glad or dissapointed. Then there's this appropriate confusion. But because it's not.. because you broke up the screaming and the picture of the zombies, I'm having to try to reconcile whether or not they're still there when he's screaming. I know I would anyway, but... oh I don't know. I just think the way you've paced this is really, really good and really complex and I'm trying to figure out how to tell you exactly why. I'll keep at it. You keep it up.

In ref. to Dick's comment above, I also find that that "not connecting in a good way" really emphasises the "is it real or not?" in a good way. It's partly having to put the panels together that is creating this crazy feeling, making us as dislocated as your hero. I understand the story, but I don't feel stable, I don't feel easy in it, if that makes sense. I like it very much and think the story is really well written/paced, esp. with use of the online considerations to achieve this. I completely had that happen too!

For the first section of this comic, I was taking my time, really sinking into the mundane moments that were in front of me, but as the scary double-frame blackness and zombie-ish finger losing panels staring coming I couldn't click on the "next" button fast enough! very exciting. And then I went back to slow clicking again -and now I'm writing this comment just to build up the suspense..... TBC...
