Strip 20
Because I had such nice comments, and because it's been so long, and because my mom's been out of town and not available to breathe down my neck, HERE IS STRIP #20! The story is finally attempting to get under way!
I dedicate this strip to Laura, because you love it most, I think, and seeing your comments is like getting hugged.
For Laura, and for all my loyal NSH fans, you few but highly appreciated followers, I would like to illuminate a tidbit about Fetchenhare's character for you. He is naive, and idealistic, and totally out of the loop, but as silly and simple as he may seem, he possesses a very sharp mind. He's just had absolutely no reason to use it his entire life. When the story gets to the meatier bits, where Fetch is more proactive, his mind will really start to show through, finally being exercized the way it always should have been. For after all, he was meant to be the hero of Eastphalia (EastFAILia by this point). He was graced with all the qualities that would have made him a heroic and beloved champion. He just utterly, utterly failed to show up.
And yes, for the sake of my color addiction and my boredom with the color palette I'd used for 10 strips in a row, that sun is setting AWFULLY fast. You guys don't mind, right? It's like my color theory professor taught us: color gradients are naturally pleasing to the eye. Giving you panel after panel of saturated, jewel-tone color gradients is my little trick to keep both myself and you viewers suckered into feeling happy.
Also, this and every other No-Show Hero strip is, as always, up on my website, neatly in order for your viewing pleasure.
