When spring comes…

…my mother gets allergies. Other than that, my birthday is on March 22 and this year is even Easter eve :o

I’ll be pretty busy these days but I think ‘ll be able to post the next comics with no delay. About yesterday’s comic… I know it doesn’t have that much of a punchline but came to my mind two days ago and I though I yet had to draw a comic about metal slug and a little tribute was necessary. Now I’m using my tablet for most of the work and I’m really happy of the result. I can now draw effects that would require years if done with a mouse and look even better. I’m currently drawing only the pencils with a pencil (of cours) while inks, colors and effects are made in photoshop and this dramatically reduced the time needed for a comic, leaving me more time for Team Fortress 2.

I started playing it again these days and went back on my good ol’ Sniper, instead of the Pyro, which looks far less dangerous. In fact, I think the damage of the flamethrower needs to be increased. I mean, it’s his main weapon and I frag more with the shotgun than with it. The flames aren’t so good either. They can be asily healed and estinguish automatically after a few seconds. Another question. Doesn’t a flame burns more on its top? Why Valve suggest to get closer to the enemy when using the flamethrower then? I’ll report this to Valve as soon as I remember it when I’m at home. There must be a reason if every n00b can use a Soldier and frag as hell while Pyros can barely light up enemies before being shot down by a Ranger.
