Thanks Bridget. This sort of thing has happened to me at book launches but I have always managed to miss or mess up the opportunities. Duck and Bear are much better than I am! I enjoy going to book launches for many reasons and especially love the speeches for the insights into people lives and creativity. Quick disclaimer: I have never seen anyone embarrass their daughter the way that T Rex does in this episode!
I like happy endings as well Maureen. Plus I think that many writers, like Duck, do start to make progress in publishing world after working extremely hard on honing their skills and their manuscripts. It might take years and they may lose heart at times but they do get there in the end. Bear is different - I always saw Bear as the type of person who seems to pop up out of nowhere with a publishing contract. They work hard but also somehow hit on the right idea at the right time. A combination of good luck and good judgement.
Amanda, these are fabulous characters in a brilliant story wonderfully drawn and told with a lovely humour. From the first moment you mentioned the idea of a web comic and the possible content I was so excited. Duck and Bear have all my empathy, I love them and long to see what happens next. Thank you so much for doing this for Words & Pictures, you are a star!
When you have read the episode click on Duck in the penultimate panel and then click on the letter in Bear's hands in the final panel for two extras!
ReplyDeleteLove the animations! Glad you had so much fun with this.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nick. I had lots of fun creating this episode.
DeleteBravo Amanda for an animated ending! Interesting how you show that meeting up at a launch and listening to advice might be fruitful...

Love the animations!
ReplyDeleteThanks Heather! In the end it was a lot easier than I thought it would be to create the animated gifs - I will do more in the future.
DeleteSo relieved the animations worked :-) they are my first attempts at creating animated gifs in Photoshop.
ReplyDeleteI love the surprise of Bear's book series! Brilliant!
ReplyDeleteThanks Candy.
DeleteI love happy endings. Yay for them both.
