You are right Zepher. You need to keep "tension" in your storyline or you will loose your readers, and you can't let the story go too fast because then it is finished in a few days and that's no good for us either...

So I think you are doing very well as it currently is.
BTW: page 2 all the way ! That is IMHO, one of the funniest pages I've read on this forum, from the same comical level as 'The Walrus and the Whacker" Those are sooo funny as well.
I like that...duckchickenbird of you. Mind if I build one myself?
I am looking forward to the next episode, Zepher.
