ZX Page 2 : A Friendly Robot Ear


Here we start to meet two thirds of the main cast a bit more up close and personal. It is useful to have the ability to produce holograms from the palms of your hands when trying to convey highly specific stereotypes. Perks of being a robot, I guess.

I generally suggest that every Monday when I post a new page, you read the last few pages again so you can keep the pacing of the comic in mind.

Feedback is greatly encouraged, as always.

Sort of irrelevant question: What's the 'anal germans' label about ?

Helm said...

It's originally about Ptoing. He's german. And very nitpicky about certain things. The only relevance to this page is that there are German in ZX's holo-wikipedia entry about the pretty girl with the celulitis.

Great as usual Helm. Can't wait til next monday! =)

There was one thing I was wondering about though: In the second panel ZX is facing away from Stephan. What were you trying to convey there? It looks to me as if he isn't a very good listener...

Hey Helm,

Looking good. Really like the layout of the frames. I also like the expresso speech bubble, I could almost smell the coffee.

Did I say I'm liking the story too?

Once a week can't come soon enough

Helm said...

Mr. Modem (what a great nickname! Do you facilitate communication between disparate parties?) : I guess this comes from my own mannerisms where sometimes when talked to - especially in open spaces - I might gaze around. It actually helps me focus on what is being told to me because sometimes eye contact is too intense to keep track of along with the conversation.

Solar, thank you. If I ever finish the comic and I have kept to my two pages a week scenario (in about 4 months or 5 I guess) I promise I'll post twice a week from there and on.

have a nice trip!
do you plan on giving a title to each page?

Helm said...

What trip are you talking about?

Also, yes. Just so we can refer back to things in another way than just 'page 23'.

pan pan said...

the trip of making a 50page story.

Helm said...

Oh! Hah! Yes, thank you. I'm on page 8 so that's one sixth of the way there. As you have much experience on the subject, any tips for me? :)
