You know… every time there is a looking glass, where a supposed spectator/camera is pointing at, and you don’t see a reflection of said spectator/camera, there is something realy creepy about it in my humble opinion… I mean, right now, it’s like I’m a vampire or ghost or something like that… kinda freeky <.<
@Mischka: it’s a mirror, you can see the reflection of the candle and the glass Frank is holding.
It’s a cleaver way to show how Frank is distancing himself from the crowd while adding the the sense of isolation by only showing the bar crowd in the tight confines of the reflection, props to the artist.
I don’t know if you heard it, but I squeaked with joy over your comment, SteelRaven. And now my coworkers are looking at me odd…*coughs* Erm back to work.
I really love this sketch. Any chance this would be a print available for purchase?
I don’t always comment, but I do follow the blog and I like the sketches. I’m not an artist but many props to the artist and writer for this comic.. it’s great.
@That one guy, we explained this back when you were stuck on the Issue 6 Cover post. If you bookmark and revisit non-story posts directly they will appear orphaned once we move them out of normal navigation. If it helps, the story comics all have a sequential number assigned, so if a comic is just titled “The Looking Glass” rather than, say, “154 – The Looking Glass”, it’s probably going to end up in the Extras after its brief time in the sun.
If it ever appears like there haven’t been new comics in awhile, I recommend clicking the “Latest” button or checking our Archives. There’s been four updates since this.
Ok, I guess I can’t read this story any more. I only have time to stop by every couple weeks or so. I read up the “current” point, bookmark it, then expect to come back to where I left off and continue — that’s what bookmarks are for. If you’re going to be continually yanking the navigation around and rewriting links, then it’s just going to be too much of a pain to try and read.
It’s not that we continually do it, it’s that you’ve had the bad luck to twice bookmark non-story pages, which since the beginning of the comic we’ve always moved into the Extras section after they’ve been “featured” for a week or so, so that they don’t get in the way of the flow of the story in the future. The best thing I can tell you is the advice I’ve already given, and that if you don’t see a number on it, that’s a warning sign not to use it as a placeholder. Prior to December/January we maybe only had one non-story page out of about 30 updates, but then there was a Chapter end combined with the Holidays and you managed to dogear your page on two of the three filler weeks.
Anyhow, if the possibility of that happening again is enough to make you stop reading, then that’s of course your choice. Just know that it doesn’t happen at our random whim.

Seconded, I also drink alone.

Well this is definitely in the days before the cambots were buzzing around Frank’s head, or he’d probably be glaring right in “our” direction.
Very nice
Is that a window or a painting over yonder?

Yornma, Dawn sometimes makes prints available through Deviantart. Not sure if she’ll do so with this one, or when… lots on her plate on the moment.
Is this a once-a-month comic now?
