This Saturday, November 2nd, come meet some of Humboldt’s finest cartoonists at the Scruffy Nerd Herder!
Liz Valasco “The Seeker”
Tait “Pacifica”
Peter Hoey “Coin-Op Comics”
Their work ranges from historical to fantasy to spooky. Stop by during Arts Alive from 6-9. The Scruffy Nerd Herder 234 F St. Eureka, CA
Although I was unable to get a table, I will be attending Ohana Comic Con @ Blue Lake Casino, Oct. 26-27. That’s this weekend! I’ll be roaming around talking to people and having fun. Look for a guy wearing a denim cap with Pacifica buttons and a “Ask me about my so-so art” pin. Say hi if you see me and I might have some buttons or stickers for you!
I wasn’t completely happy with page 20, so I took some time today to add in some vocalizations for the sal-kin. It’s something I originally wanted to do, but skipped for the sake of getting the new page up. I think it really improves the overall look of the page and is more immersive for the reader.
Pacific giant salamanders do have vocal capabilities and will “bark” when agitated. So this sound effect is meant to be something like a cross between a croak and a bark. I imagine it’s what a large part of their language sounds like, especially the angry words.
In other news, I have next week off the day job. Hopefully I should be able to finish up page 21 then.
Thanks everyone for sticking around and reading the comic!
