#18 “Say Uncle!”
Yeah! Why DOES she steal socks anyway?
Can somebody explain it in detail, please?
;-P
PS: The glow in panel 3 doesn’t mean anything, before I get an influx of questions asking about it. It is just a stylistic choice on that frame.

It is really cute and adorable. There’s a nice “warm / fuzzy / naive-ish ” angle to it.
Sexy bits can take all the fricking time in the world to show up imho (heck, without the sexy bits this could easily be a good “general audience” comic.
Not that i mind the sexy bits in the least. So far they are quite fine and “tastefull” and that’s a big plus.
Seeing how these two play off eachother is pretty interesting and funny so far. Can’t wait to see more of them. Also can’t wait to see some tasty tasty tasty culture shock/worldbuilding as they learn about eachother and misunderstand stuff.
One little problem; in the second and third page, Tim have dead eyes in two pannels : Second page last panel: she embrace her from behind, he isnt looking at her and it looks odd. Third page second panel: they embrace and he got a thousand-yard stare and its CREEPY.
One thing that feels a bit off pacing-wise (imho); sometimes i feel that actions/responses could benefit of a “silent” panel, where the character are given a moment to digest something that’s said and then react. Page 14 comes to mind :she say he’s cute, add pause/silent panel where he’s looking confused and she grins, then he respond “you think im cute?”. (her face is pretty darn funny there btw).
Welcome, and thank you for your comment!
Well, I’ve come a long way already since page 2 and 3. Back then I was still getting a decent handle on the characters, especially Tim, who I had only drawn twice prior to jumping into actual pages. I’m aware some of the panels back there are kinda weird and someday, perhaps, I’ll fix them up… but for now, I’ll concentrate on the future!
The sexy bits (when they do arrive) will always maintain a hopefully ‘tasteful’ level of content. Hardcore scenes are not in my plans at all to include in the actual comic though, so breathe easy. I certainly don’t think of this as an adult comic, it’s simply that sometimes the characters will have sexual relations with each other, much like anyone in a relationship might have from time to time.
Although I can’t promise you’ll never see the odd pin-up now and then where perhaps things might get a bit more risqué. We’ll see.
The rest is as you say, generally a cute, comedic tale of friendship and love, with some other (okay, a lot more) tropes thrown in to keep readers on their toes. For instance, there will eventually be villains and evil schemes popping up in the mix, and all of the things that fact entails. Ooh drama!
As far as pacing, well, I try my best, but I’m certainly not a professional and I don’t claim to be. Generally I think I’m doing alright so far though.
Anyway, hope to see you sticking around! There’s always room for more!

Tickle-fights are basically foreplay…
I suppose not for children, but in the context of the story it basically is…
I get a tad embarrassed just watching them.
I’m liking it. Nice art. Good work so far. Do you have a twitter?
Yeah, but it’s quite neglected. I’d probably make a new one branded specifically towards this project.
Who is the really monster here…
You could say that the monster became the monsted…
Captains log: detained sock theif is currently being questioned
…And we can see that even a demon is no match for the Tickle Monster…
