#The evolution of a comic!

[the-ducky-life]

It's actually harder to make a font than I thought. It's very easy to have letters that look too big or too small or a little lifted or a little sunk. I might tinker on this some more, but I like this alternative to the standard comic font.

And of course it doesn't flow naturally one into the other, but I'm also not going to have redraw that "e" for the 4th time trying to get it just right lol.

Well, at least that's the idea. We'll see how they works out with the next comic.

[image id: a four-page comic. it is titled "immortality” after the poem by clare harner (more popularly known as “do not stand at my grave and weep”). the first page shows paleontologists digging up fossils at a dig. it reads, “do not stand at my grave and weep. i am not there. i do not sleep.” page two features several prehistoric creatures living in the wild. not featured but notable, each have modern descendants: horses, cetaceans, horsetail plants, and crocodilians. it reads, “i am a thousand winds that blow. i am the diamond glints on snow. i am the sunlight on ripened grain. i am the gentle autumn rain.” the third page shows archaeopteryx in the treetops and the skies, then a modern museum-goer reading the placard on a fossil display. it reads, “when you awaken in the morning’s hush, i am the swift uplifting rush, of quiet birds in circled flight. i am the soft stars that shine at night. do not stand at my grave and cry.” the fourth page shows a chicken in a field. it reads, “i am not there. i did not die” / end id]

a comic i made in about 15 hours for my school’s comic anthology. the theme was “evolution”

I finally (got help) slapping Wordpress into shape and Runaway to the Stars is now releasing as a public webcomic! Thank you so much for your support over the years, and sticking with me while I'm slowly chewing my way through this book. I'm very excited to share this story! It'll be updating every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday thanks to the massive Patreon backlog. Patreon will continue to update as I finish pages, which happens on a sporadic non-schedule.

If you experience bugs with the site report them to me. Some things may occasionally break, as coding problems tend to be a very "whack-a-mole" affair; and I'm still getting used to the interface.

Turtle shells are really funky, and in real life turtles, their shoulders and hips are actually fused to the shell and form immobile shoulder and pelvic girdles. Their scapula (shoulder blades) therefore are pushed almost fully downwards to give turtle arms that elbow up look. Most of their muscles are attached via ligaments to their plastron and limbs, with their large neck muscles reaching back along their spine with very minimal muscles on their sides or back.

Because of how funky their bones are, I tried to find a good middle ground between the brothers’ humanoid shape and mobility vs. their original species limitations. Their shoulders are very human, with their collarbone instead connecting to the top of their plastron rather than a sternum (flat bone in the middle of the ribs) with the addition of their shoulder blades resting much lower than a humans and protecting the open space in the armpit of their shell (rather than being set on their back under their carapace). Their necks can stretch slightly longer than a humans and have some extra mobility, on account of how they usually sit curved and tucked into their shoulders. Their pelvises and lumbar vertebrae (hips and lower back) are not fused to their shell to enable them to twist their torsos some.

As for how flexible the show depicts their shells to be… suspension of disbelief! I like to keep the idea of their shells being turtle like, so even though they’re all bone, I’ll allow cartoon physics to bend them some.

Additional info on Raph: The spikes on his shell are mostly bone. Also (something I didn’t draw because it was only after I finished this that I was able to find a picture of an alligator snapper shell bone without its scutes) there are small gaps between his pleural bone plates (middle of shell) and his peripheral bone plates (edges of shell). The scar on his shell is probably from a bone deep injury, as broken scutes shed away, but because scars don’t grow with a person, the injury is small enough that it probably happened so long ago that Raph can’t even remember it.

This is all just my speculation, so feel free to disagree or expand upon these ideas!

What I adore about Logan in every timeline, in every universe is how much of a pack animal he is.

We see this in Xmen where he immediately bonds with Rogue and becomes protective of her.

We see this in the subsequent Xmen movies where he protects the kids, builds a bond with the other Xmen, and fights for them.

We sees this in the comics where he not only pack bonds with the xmen but also with Laura, Gabby, and even Akihiro. Where he adopts jubilee, and kitty.

We see this in Xmen evolution where he adopts the young xmen and becomes a mentor figure for them.

And we see this in deadpool and wolverine, where he pack bonds immediately to the one person who talks to him without fearing him. He's known Wade for less than a day before he's ready to throw hands with, and for him.

Logan is a pack animal. He's a friend, a dad, a partner, he bonds hard and he bonds fast.

And he tries to deny it in every universe. He fights people and tries to keep them away from him to protect them from him and his past.

But God that man can't help but seek people out. He needs someone around him. Even if he doesn't want to. Especially then.

And then he finally finds people that can stay with him for eternity. (Wade & Laura). He finally finds his eternal family in Deadpool and Wolverine. He finally finds his pack.
