Simon chews out Barnebus, deservingly so! www.theduckwebcomics.com/The_Starry_L... #webcomics #webtoons #comics #thestarryladders

Panel 1
INT. THE DEAD DUCK INN – EARLY EVENING – WIDE SHOT OF BARNEBUS, SIMON, AND CROWD
Barnebus and Simon both make their way back to Liz and Al as Barnebus is now feeling pretty relieved, though clearly Simon is still upset with Barnebus.
BARNEBUS WHEW! Thank god you made it in the nick of time man! I don’t know how we could’ve gone on without ya.
SIMON Cut the shit Barnebus!
Panel 2
SHOT OF BARNEBUS AND SIMON
Simon goes on to chew out Barnebus for his lack of patience, and for once, he doesn’t roll his eyes or blow him off.
SIMON You know, none of what happened would’ve even occurred if you just waited for me at home!
Panel 3
CLOSE UP OF SIMON
Simon continues his grilling.
SIMON But NO! You just couldn’t, could you?! You had to be there as early as possible to “scope out the competition!”
Panel 4
SHOT OF BARNEBUS AND SIMON
Barnebus actually looks remorseful as Simon continues on.
SIMON Like, fuck sakes! I get you’re eager for our band and everything, but at least take your fellow members into consideration when you make stupid decisions like this!
Panel 5
DITTO
Finally, Barnebus speaks up, which catches Simon off guard.
BARNEBUS You're absolutely right, Simon...

We have been good at getting podcasts to interview us, but having a serious critique of the work has been a up hill war. No features Hispanic History Month. This isn't different from other years and projects. I'm used to this happening, but getting this review made a world of difference.

Panel 1
INT. THE DEAD DUCK INN – EARLY EVENING – WIDE SHOT OF BARNEBUS, AL, LIZ, AND CROWD
Barnebus walks away from Al and Liz, panicked out of his mind.
AL Barnebus? Where are you going?
BARNEBUS I… I-uh... I need to go to the bathroom!
Panel 2
SHOT OF BARNEBUS
Barnebus quickly makes his way into the bathroom.
Panel 3
DITTO
The bathroom looks to be as dingy and decrepit as one would expect in a punk club like this, with the words of the prophets covering the walls (Graffiti in other words). Barnebus stands in the doorway for a bit.
Panel 4
DITTO
He then quickly makes his way into one of the bathroom stalls.
Panel 5
DITTO
Closing the door now, he lets it all out.
BARNEBUS OH GOD, WHAT HAVE I DONE?!

Hey comics people, friends & colleagues. As of today, our friend @artyomtopilin.bsky.social is under house arrest in his home town of Tolyatti due to ongoing FSB investigation. We don't have much details yet, but his computer and phone were taken by the police, so communication with him is hindered.

Got my copy of @daughter-birth.bsky.social 's newest comic--its gory it's obscene and it's the best thing I've read in a while. The comic is drawn on cardboard and scanned, creating unique textures. Jess' mark making is scribbly and dense. Really happy to have a physical copy and print. 🥺💕
