This looks promisingly good

Speaking of which, I completely forgot about the webcomic I was making.

Nevermind I'll think on that myself if I'll ever post it or not. In the meantime I'll have a look at this.

Certainly looks good, I've certainly considered the prospect of webcomicry since I got the hang of InkScape, and it's good to see one of our most prevalent Inkscape artists giving it a shot

It's drow. Personally I do not know what a moon elf is. I'll have to wiki it sometime. My Dungeons and Dragons knowledge only comes from OOTS and Dungeons and Dragon Online. This comic will be only "Loosely" based on D&D.

This is a good comic.

What am I saying? Dark elves who aren't Drizzt clones? This is a great comic!

I'm not used to people posting dates with the day in the front. Its supposed to be mm/dd/yyyy!! You Brits are all wrong!

Pardon my ethnocentrism.

Back on topic, nice comic Salmon. You have some potential, gooooooodd potential.

*Read the first comic*

Like it, although I didn't expect this to be another "D&D-rp"-comic, but I guess there is nothing wrong with that.

Now, this reminds me of the good old days, when I first posted the first page of my web comic on Giantitp.com....

Just posting to let you all know that the second episode's script has already been made. So it won't be long before the next episode! Is that a good thing or a bad thing though?

The fourth wall must have extremely low hit points and hardness to be broken with such frequency...
