Drag Kings Part 55
Let me say, I TRULY appreciate everyone who reads and comments on my comic. And I don’t wanna sound whiney, manipulative and ungrateful. However, I’ve noticed a weird trend I can’t account for other than the notion that “Webcomics Can Be a Cruel Mistress.” Once in awhile, I create a page that I’m really proud of and can’t wait to share. I look forward to the day that page goes live. But on multiple occasions when that’s happened, those have been the comics that uncharacteristically get almost no views or comments (on Drunk Duck primarily). I can’t figure it out. Is the Duck somehow directing people to another page? Did people really hate it? Did everyone spontaneously get sick of me that week? You know the kind of thoughts that run through your head when you’re a fragile creative. lol Anyway, I thought my last comic was one of the best action scenes I ever shot, at least. I even pushed back today’s update 24 hours on Duck to give the last page one more day. :-/
NOTE: I’m taking a brief break this week and will be back with a new comic on Sunday.

Last week was one of the best action scenes in this series. The view of Mikey’s oncoming, flaming, out-of-control race car from the sniper scope perspective was pretty great. The resulting conflagration is maybe only rivaled by the strafing of Space Agency Beta Command in one of the Meteor Madness episodes.
Thanks, Karsin! I’m pleased with how that first-person shot and this whole action sequence came out (more to come). “Meteor Madness” might have been the first time I tried a fast-paced, explosive action sequence.

Just wanted to let you know that I love this comic since I discovered it last year and am glad that you’re continuing it right now that I catched up with it! 🙂
Awesome! Thanks, Michael! I know a lot of readers picked up on the comic years ago, so it’s always a pleasure to meet newer readers.
Very much agreed on the last strip, excellent sense of action, which is most certainly not an easy thing to convey with still photos of Legos. I’m really digging this whole story arc, with the racing focus.
I cannot speak for others, but often I do not make it here the day the strip becomes available for a variety of reasons. But I do read every single comic. Looking forward to Sunday.
Thanks, Billy! Glad to hear you keep up with the comic; doesn’t matter when.
I was super happy that you picked up the bricks again and started back into this again. Being a builder its nice seeing one of your favorite stress relievers being used as media to tell a good story. So I read along, laughing at time but … rarely comment.
Usually I’ll say something when I see a set that nostalgia smack me.
But the rest of the time I just read along silently. (Unless Someone says their retiring again in hopes of winning an award again … ahem.)
So … your doing great! Love the comic! Keep up the good work!
(I’m going to go back to reading silently now.)
Ha, sorry about the “retiring again” fake-out. It’s actually really nice knowing that you (and others) are following along and reading, even silently. Thanks, K!
When people comment & why on earth not on some great piece is a great mystery and has been discussed several times on 1000steine (a German language LEGO forum), too.
Perhaps you can go with the motto (and name) of the old news reader ‘nn’: No news is good news. 😉
That’s true. I think if you look at, say, the amount of viewers who watch a TV show compared to the number of them who feel compelled to go online and discuss it, it’s probably a small percentage.
