Someone had commented recently that they found themselves liking the "bad guys" in Stosstrupp. Well,it's OK to like the Eurasian characters; one of the real "messages" of this comic is there are no "good guys" or "bad guys". Life, and war, is rarely so black and white. Sure, there are some characters who may not be nice people, but most people are over all decent folks, and most people have some character flaws too, but fortunately, truly evil people are kind of rare. Of course, in the old war movies all those enemy soldiers are heartless killers and the hero is fighting the good fight. I didn't want to do a story like that.

The Eurasian dictator may have started the war, but that doesn't make the guy in the trench a bad fellow. He was likely drafted, and fighting is on his home turf. And the Europa forces may gone to war to prevent an invasion, but that doesn't make them all saints.

Of course, as in a real war, the leaders on both sides claim to be the "good guys" and say the other side is the "bad guys". Eva, young and reckless, totally buys into this, but that doesn't mean I expect you readers to. Just because she is the main character doesn't mean she is always right. My characters aren't perfect people.

Sorry for the very long delay, and thank you to the people who have been asking me to get back to it. I have located the next part and will be scanning it soon, so more pages should be up this week.

I'll be scanning the next part soon. But anyway, I was looking through what I have here and I'm having some trouble finding everything. I know I have at least one copy of every book I've been in, but I didn't really have it organized or anything. The next pages will be from Furrlough #11, then #15. #17 should be next after that, but I can't find that one. I think I have all the original pages around here, but I'd like to at least see which ones were in that issue, so if anyone has a copy, let me know. I'm not sure what after that issue, but maybe by the time I have all those scanned I'll have figured out what's next.

Aside from Furrlough, there were 2 Stosstrupp stories in other books. One was in "Hit the Beach" #1, and the other I intended for a later "Hit the Beach", but they had so many artists doing pin-ups by then they didn't want any stories taking up pages, so it ended up in Genus #16. (A few topless girls was good enough to land it there. I also did the cover for that issue, although it is completely unrelated to Stosstrupp.) These 2 stories I didn't keep the original pages since they weren't part of the main story, someone bought them from me.

Also, for those of you looking for the old printed comics, while the earliest Furrloughs are very hard to find, the first few Stosstrupp stories were reprinted in "The Best of Furrlough" #2, which might be a little easier to find.

And as long as I'm doing a journal I'd like to plug my commissions: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6874814/
Stosstrupp related commissions get a discount.
