Imaginary Daughter 011 - 018

Thanks for the encouragement!

I'm learning as I go - this is my first attempt at a real comic. Pacing in particular is difficult, specially since I'm trying to tell a story, develop the characters, and give each single page some sort of mini-closure.

I do worry that people will get bored because things don't move so quickly in the story. That's specially worrisome because there's one one page per week, so readers have to wait a full week to see what happens, and often the answer is "not very much".

On the other hand I feel the slow pacing helps develop the the image of the characters in the reader's mind, so that when something shocking happens, it's all the more shocking, for instance. I'm kinda spilling out some secrets here, but I like to play that kind of game with the readers - where you lull them into a false sense of security and then kick them in the teeth by destroying the status quo. "Daughter is so cute, isn't she?" ...and then she blows up the city. That sort of thing.

All in all, I'm trying to do some things with the story that I don't know whether or not will work, and this is hampered by the fact that I'm hardly any good at this whole comic thing anyways. So please be patient with me! Yet ret assured that I'm paying attention to your comments and they help me make a better comic. You should see the story moving forwards in the following pages :)

Thanks again for your comments!
