Arthur 7/28/06

Here are cartoons from Arthur, King of Time and Space since last Friday. Fanfiction cartoons are on their annual summer hiatus.

Including last Friday's, because it leads into Saturday's.

If you're an AKOTAS reader who's ever looked fruitlessly for a PayPal donation button on the site, at this time I'd like you to know that I do have a PayPal account for scarfman@iglou.com and that uninterrupted service may be dependent on reader generosity. Thanks.

Thanks for reading.

I just want to say how much I like the 7/24 strip- demonstrating the differences in relationships in the various main periods. (Although it took a day for me to figure out that UV drew Digger in Arthur's San Diego program, not in the program he uses for Things of Shapes to Come.)

Thanks. I conceived that one because I suspected not every reader was following that Lancelot's awareness of his feelings wasn't progressing as quickly in the fairy tale/baseline arc as it had in the space arc, because he hadn't met Guenevere as early. Of course in the contemporary arc they've barely spent a week in the same city over the past two years plus, and I figured that that needed pointing up too. Then I figured the two most continuity-heavy secondary arcs might as well be brought in for contrast as well; particularly since, in this area, the MASH arc offers a lot of contrast.

If it's unclear that what Arthur's holding is his SDCC program that's probably because I forgot to draw the cover during production (the paper-and-pencil stage) and had to add it during post-production (scanning, layout, lettering and coloring). That's assuming any given reader is familiar with the logo in the first place.

Yesterday I looked over Lulu.com's website and and became much more optimistic that there shall one day be AKOTAS books. I should be saving this stuff for bonus commentary.
