Omg, dude, I love your short story/comic things. :O This ones sad though, I mean like, Is Jerry okay? Did he just pass out and will wake up and go home in awhile? Did he DIE?! x___x
You did an amazing job at portraying the feelings and emotion. (I also like how you hold off to submit em till its completed, so someone isn't left hanging for a few days to see the next strip!)
:) Keep up the awesome work man!

That started off way too cute, by your standards - something just had to go awfully wrong, eventually. :P
Interesting to see some non-adult characters from you.
Well, I do remember a kid from a recent drawing of yours, that also involved a priest... but I digress.
Nice work, yet again!

Like others, I had an ominous feeling from the beginning as well. It could have been just the fact that you were drawing kids, which you don't usually do! I think you're on a roll! Keep going! You'll have that anthology in no time. I think the title was what set up for me that it was going to be a sad strip as opposed to any other emotion. Good stuff, do more!
I think the thing here is its not your average, got murdered with a knife and/or cut myself emo-style tragedy.
Its simple, accidental, tragedy. Something that happens everyday, every hour, every second even. Sometimes folks encouter it, others go their entire lives without something like this happening. Sometimes its just a broken toy, other times its...well, a friend/family member. This particular case hits home b/c it reminds me of my own sister's death, which happened just as suddenly n' out of the blue.
Kudos to you, artdecade. More moving of a piece/series than I think you realize.

"Drr drrr."
I dunno dude.
I don't think this was the "same angsty crap" that "furries always come up with."
I really liked it, especially when I realized it was about how kids deal with the unknown... The language especially -- I loved how you showed the simple mechanic children have to speech and perception (they aren't all geniuses or midget adults).
Incidentally, I didn't think the kid died. I thought he was just knocked out... I like how everyone rushed to the immediate conclusion though: "OHNOES!111 SOBSOBSOBSOB!1"
This felt like a piece I'd find published by ONI or Fantagraphics. So, don't let that one dude get on your case. Typical furry drama BS is some guy who's totally homo but his parent's pet gerbil is a right winger militia nazi and someone has aids and everyone has butt sex.

That was a hell of a thing, dude.
You could quite seriously make a career out of this shit (or could one say that you do already...?). The simplicity of the setting, the negative space, the dramatic, pulp fiction dotty shading (i'm sure there's a technical term for it, but fuck that shit i'm all sad and shit), all of it created this whole... i dunno, trying not to use a clichéd word like "atmosphere", but the overall feel of it aesthetically didn't necessarily accentuate the mood of the over all comic, but rather... i dunno, accompanied it seamlessly i suppose. the art was second to the story, not in quality, but in noticeability - and i really miss old anthology comics of yore that used that formula rather than intricate masterpieces that, oh yeah, have text bubbles. Anywho, ramblerambleramble fantastic work as always, dude.

This made me sad, in a good way.
I guess we all have as kids felt the fear and desperation when something went wrong, and the grown up misunderstands it. A happy day can quickly transform to a day full of demonic fear.
Excellent work. The comic really woke up those fealings I had as a kid.

it's a cute story..i love how you indulged in the happy moments and then abruptly whammed the sad part on the kids. Maybe the rabbit guy overreacted a bit and too fast, and they were all too much friendly, often when there's three kids two of them picks on the third ..or maybe that's how it was my childhood and i'm saying a lot of crap XD it's just i think kids are often depicted as innocent when in reality they are quite mischievous.
but anyways ,i enjoyed this, keep them coming dad! X3

OH MY GOD YOU BASTARD BASTARD!!
I can't tell if he's dead or not....
These comics are amazing!! I didn't expect you to make another 12 page on so fast! MAN such awesome work! I mean the art is great on every page, just quickly done but you worked a story out.
I'll fav the first page representing the entire comic!

This hit me pretty hard. I should've expected something dark, but the quick randomness of the accident still got me.
Good job with the kids anfd their expressions, showing their playfulness and wide-eyed exhuberence at first, then their sadness and confusion at the end. Damn the kids were really cute playing in the beginning, then it was hearbreaking aftewards.
The dropped hat, like the spilled life savers in the first story, is an obvious metaphor, but effective.

Totaly saw it coming! Although I thought it would be a whole lot more tradgic. Like one of them would get lost or something like that. But I guess you could interpret it as he's just unconcious. But I got an impending sence of doom early on.
You can normaly tell something bad is supposed to happen based on the scenerey. Also if there is no apparent conflict somethings bound to come up. So it just incites anticipation on the reader because they want to know what the problem is in the story.
Really well done though. Amaizing you did it all in only three days. X3 I'm lucky to do 1 picture a day. X3

great work! in add, this one is pretty different compared with the other one you did some days ago (for ideas, and facts).
i like how you tell stories but i don't like much the last 5 panels, there's something with storytelling that does not works. but my opinions are always wrong, so...
=)
much envy for you!

i like how everyone seems to assume that Jerry's dead. [giggles]
I liked this one, even though I found it a bit predicatble somehow. Knowing your tastes, I pretty much expected this to happen. Mind you, that didn't take away from the heartachey bit where Sean is yelling at Jerry. Very poingiant!
Snow is easy to draw, huh? :P

I can only imagine! One trick you used that I really thought was cool was how you alternated between medium shots and extra-hyper-super long-shots. It was really effective at communicating a sense of space, bigness, and all of that, within the restrictions of the small frames. Very kewl. :3
This is actually a pretty good story, its short and sweet(In a twisty way).
I like how it was pretty obvious that something was bad to happen, but what happened was something we didnt expect, I assumed the main kid would be the one to get injured or something worse, but instead out of the blue his friend gets knocked out!(Or could be comatose, or dead) Then of course the reaction of the kids, not knowing how to handle the situation and thinking the wors ebecause their friend didnt get up immediatly. You handled their emotions pretty damn well, just what I'd expect from kids their age.
I can't wait to see another one from ya! BTW how the hell did you get manga studio to install? @_@ I failed so many times...

how come falling in the snow can make him died, beside he's a bear,
the situation would be happened to everychild, found they friend uncoinciousness, and they runs to their home. Poor bear, he will found nobody there when he wake up.
Theres a lot of emotional moment on this comic, Awesome.
But once again, why must Bear??

YAAAAAY, you did a comic again!
Oh wait! *sob*
Seriously, it's all been said, but good work on the expressions and reactions of the characters, and the very minimalist setting for the backgrounds. Not only does it match the tone of the story and the temperature of the day, but it helps the reader really focus on the characters themselves, not a lot of cluttered extraneous detail ....

really cool! The contrast was enjoyable (chidren vs death(?). Their reactions made it real and personal to whom ever veiwed it (ASSUMING MOST PEOPLE HAVE SYMPATHY??).
THESES DRAMAS ARE QUITE FUN, KEEP THEM UP, cause they are better.cooler then 99% of the furry comics out there.
PS this death theme rocks cause death is cool like that...same with the endings..cause they dont give you a sense of wholeness .
skizYEAH!!

Huzzah, you're posting moar! This made me pretty sad. Like, the other one brought me down, but this one just made me flat out sad, I'd like to think that he was just knocked out, but the confusion, fear, and near-helplessness of the whole situation. They didn't know what to do. ;-; I hope he's alright.
WHAT!!!!!!! ... ok now that I've regained composure, let me just say WHAT!!!!!!! no seriously this comic has a really interesting element to it, like "what the hell just happend?" I love the fact that you left us hanging at the end and reading alot of the responses, it seems that people brought over from your last comic the notion that this was a depressing story as well. If it was meant to be... I guess you succeded becuase you made alot of people sad. I on the other hand while understanding the kids reactions, I was dumbfounded by thier response. Your friend is not responding to you... well he just wiped out on a snow sled! You feel sad and leave his carcass in the snow... Garrrr YOU PICK HIM UP AND DRAG HISS ASS TO A HOSPITAL!
So envoking this type of reaction from me I thank you and think its great!

this was a great story and it almost made me cry as well. I know that he's going to b e ok since I too had something similar like that happen PLUS I slammed into a large evergreen head first X_@. I was more than ok with a bruised cranium and pants filled with da white shtuff (snow that is >.>;;))
Loved the art, as usual. Especially the shots of the snowmen and the snow angel, the far out bleak shot of Jerry. Really awesome, set the tone for both halves of the story.
I actually want you to draw more non-porn in the future, but please don't think less of my libido for it.

And they say you will only get a lot of comments and +fav on this place by drawing smut. You definitely proofed them wrong :D
I have to say this is an outstanding short story you created there. You did an incredbile job with those clear pictures, I can't remember when I last saw someone using so few textures and shadows and still get such an amazing result.
As for the content...well. Depressing. Sad. But I suppose that's just what you wanted to create with that. And listening to depressive french music doesn't help either *snickers*
+fav in place for all 12 pages. Hope you'll be finding someone to publish this stuff soon, I'm sure it would sell like crazy.

Damn, I dunno what exactly is it with these little comics of yours, but they touch me in a way rarely other things do. Like "I'm Not Strong Enough", the subtle non-themed tone is wonderfully done, and deep. I could feel it. It kinda reminds me of the pointless scenes in Gainax animes, which can't get any deeper than that.
Good work, man, keep ot up. B3

Hi there, I just started browsing your gallery when I walked onto this little jewel of a comic. I didn't want to fav all of it and look like some goober, but I might have to. Its brilliantly told, and I really enjoyed it. You have amazing story telling skills, and I loved how there was a great balance of words, and art - not too many words let the pictures tell the story, and thats what I liked most about it.
Besides that, the innocence of the three children is wonderfully shown, through dialog, and their actions. For some reason I really characters that are young males (that sounds wrong, but eh, whatever), so I guess I could relate to this a lot because of that. The fact that they grew and learned about something and it scared them... uhg I can't describe how nice it was to read/look at this story.
Keep creating, man! You're an inspiration.

It's can't end there! What about the injured kid in the snow? It's a cold day, laying in the snow unconscious and probably injured might actually do some permanent damage. I love the intense feels this taps into, but good god, it can't end there! What kind of friends are they if they don't even tell their parents that something might be wrong. The idea the kid might be dead contrasting with their innocence is just heartwrenching. But even if he's not dead, the contrast between such sweet childhood innocence and the harsh reality that something just went horribly and suddenly wrong...This little comic really packs a punch. I love their reactions, so real. So completely young and how much it's simply beyond their maturity level - they're inappropriate-to-the-situation reactions but 100% age appropriate reactions. And that's just brilliant.
But really...that cannot be the ending. The thought that kid is gonna wake up alone, or slowly die of hypothermia while everyone has no idea. It's like a childhood nightmare, those three kids (two if the injured one doesn't survive) will be forever changed and won't ever be able to forget this day. It's deliciously painful and memorable. And that shot of him leaving his hat behind in distress is poignant. To me it feels like the hat is like the innocence he's leaving behind because he just glimpsed some of the darker and more adult sides to life and he's having to grow up because of it.
And although I like the ambiguity of not knowing if he's alive or dead... having them go back to their lives and leave him to be found hours later by chance is just too harsh. It distracts and almost makes it about a different kind of hurt entirely. That's the only thing I'd change, just adding a hint in the end that he'll tell his mom, and that she'll get the injured kid help. Even if it leads to a funeral because he really is dead. It just would sort of cinch the themes of innocence vs the random and harshness of life sometimes. Idk, I actually secretly loved this. The tragedy + the innocence + the age-appropriate reactions just makes it almost classic. And haunting in it's simplicity. I loved it. It made me cry too.

thank you so much for the kind and detailed response! i was really glad to read it :)
i did intentionally leave a lot unsaid at the end to sort of give it a sort of tension and a lack of closure. i wanted the viewer to have mixed feelings, upset at the child for not being forthcoming, but also sympathetic becuase, like you said, they really just don't understand what's happening.
but he does say that he's going to 'tell on him', and it's within the realm of reason to assume that at least one of the boys, but probably both of them, do tell their parents what happened. so that's another reason i left it off where it does.
thank you again for the response and for reading!
