It's finished! The comic! Really!
That is, not quite... this is not yet the final, polished version, quite obviously. But since I won't have time to do any polishing for the time, for now I'm posting it to LJ as it is. I'm also re-posting all the previous pages in this entry. Page- and file sizes vary wildly but they should all load reasonably fast.

Later, when I archive it, I will re-do parts of the lettering, fix a few details, and scan all the pages at the same resolution. But for now, here it is in all its six-page glory:

"Smile Time: The Comic" *
*(... until the day I come up with a real title.)
Rating: PG-13
Spoilers: Smile Time
Summary: "Angel wants to blow off steam. Things don't go quite as expected." Spike&Angel gen, because there can never be enough of that.



Disclaimer: The artwork is mine, characters and universe aren't, no money is being made off this. Thanks to [info]mousehounde for betaing, and to [info]doyle_sb4 for looking over the script and for coming up with this awesome challenge in the first place. Much thanks to Sabine A. for a most productive brainstorming session.

Sorry for bothering you on your journal. I tried to send you an email via your website, but it didn't work. Here's the text

When you have a final version of your comic up, I'd love to link to it from http://www.whedonesque.com - a large community for Whedon related links. They have a semi-closed membership at the moment, and their policy does not allow members to link to their own work. So, if you don't already have a friend able to do it for you, please send me an email and I'll help spread the word. If you don't mind, I'd prefer a reply either way so that I know you got my email.

Thanks so much for posting this! Your comic absolutely made my day. I miss good Angel/Spike snark, and you've definitely captured the best of their personalities (and the best of their personality flaws). I've already recced it in my journal, but I figured it's best to wait until you feel it's finished before I go any other routes.

You can reply to me at abbylee (at) notanothersite (dot) com. Sorry. But thanks again :D

OMG! Brilliant! Poor puppet-Angel's nose!
Do you think he'll mind if I call him adorable once more?

That is simply fantastic work, and once again, your colors slay me. I wish I had half your skill and control. Gorgeous, gorgeous stuff.

And the fact that you do your own lettering makes me cry. *g* You really are amazingly gifted.

posted comments over at the [info]ats_endofdayscommunity. Love this, as you know.

Do you have any plans for an Angel sequel?

Found my way over from the Whedonesque site. Loved this so much! The artwork is amazing and the content was hysterical. Even in such a small time frame you were able to capture this story perfectly! And keep the boys in character. Thanks for making this...totally blew me away, so I just had to rec you over at the [info]su_herald.
