Here's the rough

I am honored to present Dirk Erik Schulz, today's guest artist on 1930 Nightmare Theatre.
The talented Mr. Schulz (AKA Themrock) hails from Germany and is one of the most unique and visionary artists I've ever had the pleasure to work with. Check out his Deviant Art gallery and prepare to have your mind blown!

This week sees the 13-part Strawberry's Quest come to an end. This was sort of an improv experiment in comic form: I wrote part one, and from their John and I took turns writing each part until the comic came to a "logical" conclusion. It was a lot of fun, and I like what we came up with. We won't be doing it again anytime soon, however. We've got other fish to fry. We'll do more multi-parters in the future, possibly just as long, but with the story figured out beforehand. In the meantime, we'll be here with some gag strips, though we're going to take a three-week break after Valentine's Day. We've got some incredibly awesome guest strips for those weeks, so look forward to them.

In other news, all the old stuff in my Etsy shop is on über-sale, and I've added the piece above. Check it out at http://www.etsy.com/shop/TVsKyle
Hahahaa I like her annoyed face and the torch in place of the "idea lightbulb".
Great surprise opening! Great wrap up to last week's cliff hanger! Heck, this is just a great strip all together! Skadi rocks! She could kick Dave the Barbarian's butt any day of the week!
anyway-
the expressions make this one great! Oh, and the force-feeding of meat.
everyone's so cute in this one, even diseasoid!
*)The inmense stock of word-onomatopoeias (including the hilarious "feed")
*)Skadi´s partner expressions
*)Skadi´s ear on panel 5
*)Seductive ladies´ curves
*)Skadi eating on a demi-yogini position
*)The dead dragon´s head under our heroine´s arm on the last panel
*)you name it
*)etc.
Katie´s drawings are simply terrific, as terrific as Luke´s colouring job. Yes, I still get mad at those "to be continued", but it´s really good to see a comic like this in this era of automatic all-must-look the-same-don´t-you-dare-to-be-original arts. The same applies to the rest of the comics in this page. Well, I have written too much, you all must be bleeding bored by now.
I've said it before and I'll say it again "girls eating giant chunks of meat is totally hot."
I like being able to see Diseasoid's fleas as they hop about all over him. Schadenfreude and all that.
thanks

I wonder how the story will continue...
I also love the innovation of the idea icon: a lightbulb would be inapropriate as they don't exist yet, so it's a torch! Brilliant!
Who's great idea was that?
Love it, love it, LO-O-O-OVE IT!
- trevor.
Awesome as usual!!
3. Mark Morgan: Dave the Barbarian is a disgrace to all barbarian kind, and Skadi could definitely kick his butt....in her sleep!
5. Boop a doop: Thanks for the critique. Personally, I find this comic funny, but it's always good to get the fan's input. However, I think the comics we're doing now (we're working 3 months in advance) are even funnier than the ones you're seeing today. It takes time to get used to the characters and feel out the humor sometimes. Anyhow, I hope you keep reading!
7. RNE: Wow! Thanks for the detailed analysis! It's great reading that type of feedback.
10. Tillie: "Semi-onomatopoeia" is a good term! They'll be showing up here and there in future comics. Collect them all!
15. Trevor: Clever analysis on Skadi. Also...I drew a lightbulb in the rough layout of this comic, but after Katie cleaned it up, I thought a torch would be funnier....and more appropriate. Glad you liked it.
18. Mukpuddy: "Charitable feelings" was added 10 minutes before the comic went up. We work 3 months in advance...but we're always tweaking up to the last minute. Glad ya liked it.
I link to my WoW armory page under the "about" section. What realm are ya in?
