Description
Meh, parts of the page aren't that great. I might try to fix some stuff before eventually adding shading.If you are a new reader just seeing this comic, at least so far, the entire series can be found here in my gallery, or at this site- [link]

I'd say that she's a trouble-maker. I don't think she has bad intentions.

I'd still like to take her over my knee and blister her ass.

When is the shading gonna be added to all these pages? I've been wondering that lately as I've seen none added to the past few pages.

It's usually a time thing. I add shading if I can and still post the page on Thursday. Going back and adding shading to older pages is something I have to do when I have a chance.

Dear god, your use of bold words is horrible. When a word is made bold, it is a word spoken emphasized.
Your emphasizing makes no sense whatsoever, I cannot make it sound logical the way you emphasize things, which is not simply a failure on my part. You do this habitually.

So, in other words, it's exactly like a normal comic book? Because that's what I think it's supposed to evoke.

I agree with you on the emphasizing of words emulating normal comic books. But the difference between this web comic and normal comic books, other than the medium, is that he uses it wrong.
Not every other frcking word has to be made bold. Rather, if you make 80% of a speech bubble bold, the 20% that isn't bold will stand out, instead of the emphasized words standing out ("IS THAT AN INSULT or A COMPLIMENT" which is more like 90% to 10%). This is exactly the opposite of what one should be trying to achieve with emphasizing, so it completely defeats the purpose!
Normal comic books know this and as such don't mess it up. But pulsetastic does, every single page of every comic I've seen him produce (and I've been watching him for a year or two now).
Maybe I voiced my critique in a bit too accusing a tone, for which I apologise, but come on, how hard is this to figure out?

It was only 2 pages ago Lightfoot explained his bolding methodology.
"The larger bold text is what is emphasized. (In theory) I try to emphasize the text that is most important for the reader to notice. If someone is skimming, I'd think they are more likely to notice or read the words that are in bold. Although in practice it's probably pretty haphazard.
In "it might be important", "might" is least important, even if it's probably the word that would be emphasized when speaking.
In "Lucy, answer your phone at night", "at night" is important, but less important than the rest.
In "Good grief. What happened to you?", "good grief" was left un-bold to fit her facial reaction, and "what" and "to you" are more important.
It's probably not the right way to do it, but looking back it's just the method that's developed over the years."

I agree that pulsetastic's way of doing it is weird. But you have to admit, a fair amount of the bolding in comic books is kind of random.

Hmm, old Annie probably would have viewed that a compliment with the Jungle Girl comparison
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's the point, Annie expected Lucy would insult her. But she's confused because she thinks a comparison to Jungle Girl would be a compliment.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah, I assume Lucy would have known of Annie's comic reading interest and that perhaps her desire to be more Jungle Girl-ish
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
But Lucy might not agree that being more like Jungle Girl is a good thing. Maybe she's always been anti-Jungle Girl.

Bottom left panel, bottom speech bubble - while she's cut off, I'm pretty sure that should be "they'll".
Also, good to see Lucy is at least a little suspicious of Annie turning up with suddenly huge boobs.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lucy is always suspicious.
Yeah, it should be "they'll".
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Usually sensible to be suspicious. Boobs don't just grow spontaneously... except when they do.
