Re: Erfworld 8: Ansom's Plans
Regarding the Free-deep as frog sounds, I understood it right away... but that's due to knowing the old joke:
"How deep is a frog pond?"
"How deep?"
"Knee-deep. Knee-deep."
I'm really liking Erfworld so far. It's cutesy, but I love the metagame knowledge held by the characters (how many move, turn end, etc). It definately succeeds in reminding me of all my favorite turn-based games.

Re: Erfworld 8: Ansom's Plans
While overall I am enthralled by the artwork, I must wholeheartedly agree with the above comment. The disappearing-noses-effect is quite odd and (I suspect) threw me off from recognizing Jillian at the end of page 8. I also found it equally disturbing on page 6 when Wanda loses hers.
But I couldn't draw myself out of a cardboard box, so...

Re: Erfworld 8: Ansom's Plans
This is a style choice. As things get pushed to the background, they tend to get grayer and loose features. Since my pen is a certain thickness, the noses disappear (unless it's Stanley. What a monster schnoz!). I thought it would be obvious from the content that the woman in those last panels was Jillian since she (besides Wilma) is the only other female that we've spent any time with, but I guess not. Oh well.
About her change of dress, can't a girl get all dolled up before she goes/doesn't go to stay in the leader's tent?Jamie Noguchi, artist and co-creator of Erfworld and evil monkey responsible for Angry Zen Master.

Re: Erfworld 8: Ansom's Plans
Thanks for the reply. I can totally respect the style choices involved. The rest of us are just armchair critics here, which is a million times easier.
In hindsight, what Jillian is doing is clear. On first reading, though, there were a few factors conspiring against some of us... it's difficult to recognize the dark building as Ansom's tent; second, we don't see Jillian close-up enough to see her distinctive hairstyle / facial features; and finally, she's dolled up (and thus missing that giant sword!). My initial theory was indeed something weird about Wilma stalking around, post-peep-dusting (for reasons as yet unexplained). I probably just needed more coffee.
Anyway, I look forward very much to see how the story continues!
