See, I didn't/don't see that.  It looked like something Fi could literally see.

And then Amber explained it and it was over.  The end.  Good times.  Good times.

You know what I like?  I like this comic.  I was hoping that maybe we could discuss it?  Like, how Amber seems to be pretty adept at doing Merrie Melodies homages:



Go Amber!

[Arcalane]

I think a scientific approach is in order....
We need a full wallpaper of Destania, as she was dressed in panel two and three to truly judge the family resemblance between her and Dan.

Fffff.

You just want an excuse to ogle teh b00bies.

Admit it.

[Naldru]

Yes, let's spam emoticons retardedly in place of a more intelligent discussion.

Hey, at least it wasn't Hampsterdance.

Er, I don't think anyone else saw that. the comparison is pretty dissimilar, and we're talking about frigging facial expressions here...

[AndersW]

(Working with gut instinct only, it's possible I'm not completely right)
"Breaking character" is basically just a character not really acting like the character. For example, if a character refers to being in a comic or has access to information he normally shouldn't have, then that's basically him breaking character. Mild examples of this would be actually mentioning flashbacks, sensing plot twists (and having no memory of things that happened off-panel), interacting with the narrator, and so on. For more serious examples, read Bob and George.

In this case, Dan and Fi react to something that's in the comic panel, but not actually in their world. The mental image is only projected for the reader (like when Biggs imagined Danielle while describing her), but the characters see it anyway.

Hope that helps...

Up until Sid explained it, I was still lost as to what was going on.  I had a fair idea, but I wasn't sure until he explained it.

Therefore I do not think that it is beating a dead horse to discuss it more.

Admit it.

I won't deny it but I won't admit to it.
I have my reasons 
it's SCIENCE!!!!
Science doesn't need to be explained all the time...

I go quiet now.

I hadn't noticed that...  Dan's eye honestly made me think of L from Death Note.

Uh, I'm pretty sure to fully see the resemblance we'd need a wallpaper of DAN in that little outfit. 

HAHA! NO FREE SHOWS FOR YOU!

Quick, everyone stay out of the Art forum, unless you want to see Dan wearing that outfit!

[Alondro]

*Charles still thinks Fa'lina is hotter*  But yes, Dan has many issues, which just keep growing and compounding as time goes on.  I'm sure he's going to end up marrying a coat rack out of utter confusion and delusion one day. 

Charles likes big butts and he did not lie
Us other brothers shouldn't deny
That when a Poodle walks in with an itty bitty waist
And a round thing in his face
He gets sprung
Wanna pull up tough
Cuz he noticed that rump was stuffed

*Charles erfs*  That's not true!  I like big boobs!  Er... 

[e_voyager]

i agree with AndersW.  Sid Did make an excellent case much better then i could have and his choice of referring comics and it has a large selection of this humor including the author entering the comic and author character self depreciation humor   

[Fuyudenki]

What?  where?  I couldn't find the topic

Granted, I don't really frequent the art forum, so I wouldn't know where to look...

No, I believe he's merely warning of impending doom. The doom has not happened yet. I'd make it happen, were it not for my evil summer project.

[KarlOmega1]

I'd still like to see a wallpaper for Destania...even if this one comic strip was a Fourth- wall breaker joke.

[techmaster-glitch]

Yes, same here...

[e_voyager]

maybe we cold commission it. how much do you think it'll cost if amber agrees?

[Faerie Alex]

CVRPG says $450, and that's assuming he doesn't get some sorta family & friends discount.

[Aridas]

that site doesn't even count.

[Amber Williams]

Just for that, now it does.

[Zedd]

Just for that, now it does.

Carmel corn? *holds out a bucket of it*

[Aridas]

Just for that, now it does.

Stop being so greeeeeeeeedyyyyyyyyyy

[Amber Williams]

Dude. If someone is willing to plunk down $450, there is few limits to what I'd be willing to draw for them.  That's just common sense.

[bill]

Capitalism is grate IMO.

US dollars, or Canadian dollars?

[bill]

I was actually considering it, then I remembered that that is most of my bi-weekly paycheck.

[Tapewolf]

Wrong answer.  Otherwise you'll get some evil git like me requesting a single image billions of pixels across containing the entire first 550 DMFA strips in full resolution 

[Amber Williams]

Nonsense. That would just fall into one of the "few limits".

How much is that in pounds of swedish fish?

[Amber Williams]

Urf...I feel so terrible for mentioning this...but after literally getting 10+ pounds of swedish fish in less than a year and having to try to eat them all...I actually don't enjoy them anymore. 

I've been scared to mention any other favorite food I might have out of fear it will also get flooded to me and I'll end up overdosing on them to the point I don't like them anymore either.
