A scene from the weeks following the ending of 'Cruelty'. . . and likely the only thing I'll ever do pertaining to that particular time period. I briefly considered doing a little 'snippet' comic concerning Reis's detox, being as it's likely to be emotional, but. . . detoxing is a heavy, heavy subject. . . and not one I think would lend well to a comic. Mostly because of the sheer pain involved. I wouldn't enjoy drawing it. Not to mention, I don't think anyone wants to see the big wolfdog with his head hung over a toilet. Suffice to say. . . it likely sucked. For Marcus, as well.
If for whatever reason anyone feels the need to flesh that particular time out in story/art form, you go right on ahead. . . but it's. . . depressing subject matter.
That being said, I thought it deserved at least one image.
I plan on shading this and putting it up in the AC Art Show, for any interested.

I've had to detox off Vicodin before, but it wasn't my fault, I had a lovely dentist to thought it would be nice to shove them down my throat for 2 months twice a day then cut me off cold, that was a very unpleasant time, I'm just thankful I wasn't on them for any longer I know it could have been alot worse
not a fun drug to be on..... my dad (irl of course) has a permanent prescription to oxy and in a wheelchair and i have seen many a friend have to go through detox off of many different things
imo i think you made a good choice leaving this and just this picture its like a glimpse into the much darker world of his but still keeps the story light enough
and i must say i do love your comic very much and plan on ambushing you (in a very friendly polite way) at AC and not sure if you will have copies there if you do will snag one if not i fully intend to buy it when i get back its too good of a comic not to lend my support to =) bravo

I helped one of my close friends, nay, my closest friend, detox from Vicoden about a year ago...I don't know why I'm sharing this because I really don't like to think about it. He was on suicide watch for months. Sometimes he would go out into the street and scream "kill me" at the top of his lungs. Sometimes I felt like I should just because It hurt me so much to see him in pain. I guess I'm sharing this because it's a little close to me.
Actually I prefer emotion in the comics that I read. For instance this subject would be great for Cruelty. Attach it to the comic itself and you got yourself a hit graphic novel.
You pertain to mostly real life based scenarios and not many do. Abuse, sex, drugs, and many other things I saw in your comic were done only in the Mass Effect series, and I loved that game.
I say cover it if you want to... just only add it to the graphic novel you have to buy off of furplanet.com and it'll do great.
Another reason I'm going into great depth with this is because Graphic Novels, Video Games, hell ever regular ordinary books, that actually cover what happens in real life, is something that some people can relate to, so it gives them better entertainment.

don't care what other people think and don't be afraid to draw it. I see a huge depth of emotion in this single scene. Covering this topic in your comic has some real potential to show how much the characters care for eachother (again)
you could make a serious impact on people with this. be it positive or negative, but damn will they remember the comic.

Thanks Rukis, i really wanted to see a pic of those weeks, and this sure serves the purpose. Just as i mentioned in the previous journal.
Does that mean that at some point, maybe in future months when you are more free from your other works, could you show us a pic of some other time when they are togheter at university or at their life as a couple?
This is just great, and i couldn't ask for more ^^ You have my deepest gratitude ^^

That's part of being a good writer though is when you have the courage to look at yourself and your past situations to be able to write them down in stories where you might be able to help the next person who has nowhere else to go in life.
If you make this story.. I will read it and I will give you my honest feedback.
Why else do you think I'm so open about the things I am? Because I know I can write them down in a way the common person will understand.
You have my support on this story.
Good luck writing it and let your inner lion guide you all the way

i think you did awesome on this. Marcus looks upset, worried and hurt, it shows on his fave of seeing Reis the way he is and Reis looks tired, worn out and sick. Never seen anyone in detox but im guessing like this and yeah id be looking like marcus myself if i was helping someone....very beatiful and emotional
My best friend's dad tried to do that but he couldn't kick the habit where he eventually died in the AA place which ended up being his grave.
I often wonder if my parent will end up there but even then I think it is too late.
Luckily Reis has Marcus whose going to keep him from killing himself at a young age by starting the habit.
Once you start.. You are either dead already or will end up dead at some point in your life when even your loved ones have to let go to hope you figure it out for yourself before it is too late.
My friend told me once his stopped caring about his dad when he stopped caring about himself.
My parent I hate to say this is dead in the sense.. the parent I used to know died the minute she took booze over what mattered.
Which is why I keep saying and you can quote me:
"Reis should be lucky he has Marcus".. I never have had what Reis has in Marcus though i know my friend tries his hardest to listen I know having a friend is not just what I need right now.
If I had a Marcus in my life.. I'd be very close if not already at the dreams I've always wanted to get in life.
That's how important a Marcus truly is and that's why it isn't worth it to bury your sorrow out on something which could kill you.
That's why I write, railfan, and am as bluntly honest as I am because I've seen twice now what making the wrong decision in life will cost you.
I caught myself before it got to the point of where my parent is at so let this be a lesson that it's up to you how you crack the oyster and deal with whatever comes out.
Reis is really lucky his oyster has a pearl inside it named Marcus

I guess I should reiterate the fact that BOTH of my parents are dead in the sense one of them chose to be a pompus jerk and the other chose the bottle over what matters.
So yeah.. I can say I'm Reis because a lot like him.. Both of my parents are dead in the sense they were boneheads who took themselves over trying to keep me off the path I figured out for myself.
Reality is a bitch is it not?
Reis my friend.. Be lucky you have Marcus.
Don't kill yourself of him..
You'll regret it worse then the pain he'll feel when you do

Which is why it isn't worth it to start the habit in the first place.
My friend's dad did it but it did nothing for him because he was too far gone in his mind to be helped.
Whether you think doing drugs or booze looks fun I got news for you,
My friend doesn't have a dad anymore and I don't have a mom anymore even though she still is alive.
It's not worth it because you pay more then you benefit.
Don't kill yourself before the drugs really kill you or the booze kills you..
It isn't worth it.
That is all
