Just wanted to show what I've been spending a lot of my free time on. It's a fan comic of my favorite children's show, Alfred J. Kwak. It's purely for my own enjoyment, I don't expect (or intend) anyone else to ever read it. You can tell, because I regularly change colours, character designs and I screw up regulary (just look at those last two panels. Terribel). But nevertheless, I'd like to show at least one double page. Because... well, because the internet is there. ;) It's not quite finished yet, but anyway. Translation:

Panel 1: Not much later at Alfred's house...

Panel 2: Alfred: "Why aren't you at the drilling unit*, Pikkie?"
Pikkie: "I don't work there any more."
Alfred: "Oh?"
Pikkiel: "When they couldn't drill above Atlantis**, animals got fired. Me too."

Panel 3: Alfred: "Oh dear. Do you have a new job?"
Pikkie: "No, not yet."
Alfred: "Don't they need a diamond expert anywhere?"
Pikkie: "Well..."

Panel 4: Alfred: "Come on, Pikkie, I'm no stranger."
Pikkie: "No..."
Alfred: "Then what's the matter?"

Panel 5: Pikkie: "No one will hire me because... because I'm a magpie... a thief."

This is true. Magpies in Alfred J. Kwak's world are born kleptomaniacs. Pikkie is often refered to as having an illness and not knowing what he's doing.

For a proper view of these characters, take a look at this YouTube video from 6:00: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfo40PjpYig (the White Queen from a game of chess came to life and Pikkie tries to steal her crown)

Alfred J. Kwak was designed by and is the property of Herman van Veen.

*: this is a direct online translation. I don't know the proper term. I mean one of those on sea oil drilling platforms.
**: in one storyline, Alfred, his father and Pikkie accidentally end up in Atlantis, which is right below where an oil company is searching for oil.
