Thank you Cayla! Spidey-Lute has many abilities besides Kung Fu fighting (it can aslo sing and dance to that song excellently 🙂) Asked about the little pistol, he said it would "cramp his style) Weel THIS was VERY costly, because of re-tries, very time-consuming and very frustrating. I think I'll cut back on comics series for a while, lest I spend all my credits very fast. I had planned a fourth page, where the Lute got in trouble with SG and Amalia because og the mouth of his, but didn't do it because of the already high cost. Besides the story ends nicely there. (Perhaps I'll do it singly, later)

Thank you! yes, Spidey-Lute has many talents! And he defends kids!! But he is a dick to all the others. I had in mind a fourth page where the lute got in trouble with SG and Amalia, because of its big mout but because of the very high cost of credits these 3 pages had cost, I abandoned that. Besides, the story end all tifgt in the third page

Yay! Love the Lute's kung-fu fighting. hmmm, maybe he needs a little gun and tiny holster strapped to his leg. It won't have great range but he can shoot creatures trying to eat him in the mouth in case the Stalkers aren't around. Good thing Stargazer was there. Good shot.

Yeah, also you might start a blog featuring 2 or 3 of the side adventure comics or stories that you drop in posts. Blogs have a longer shelf life and different readers so others might discover them that hadn't seen them here.

Just saw your heist DC bro; I love how Amalia is threating to turn bandits faces into 12-gauge mince meat. No chill!😂
