[Mermaid]

this is such a wonderful series thank you so much for making it <3<3 genuinely brilliant in every way and i love all your characters (the good ones, you know)

handofdog responds:

Thank you very much, seriously. Some days it's easy to get lost, focusing on error, questioning your own creations, hard to see outside itself. But today, right now, I see such a message and it feels really good.

I'll never take for granted anyone that has interest in my work, with how much other stuff is out there. So thank you, to everyone, from bottom of my heart. :) (Sorry to be a bit sappy, it just really hit me)

handofdog responds:

From watching Quentin Tarantino's movies, who has a lot of shots focused on women's feet.

i know these feelings (particularly, panels 1 - 3 + panels 6 - 9)
its kind of cathartic to know i share (some form of) them with someone else and to see them represented
your writing style in this is also cathartic for the stream of consciousness aspect. thats how my thoughts kind of go (i think)
thank you for making and publishing this, <3

in my opinion its refreshing to see your characters in a lighter situation. at-tan and doctor are cute :^3 (probably not the other guy though (probably)) also doctor with forehead cover looks like this picture of young aphex twin https://i.imgur.com/EjqyFph.jpeg

handofdog responds:

Oh, okay. I just can't stand constant torture porn. I really liked the joke/dog ending in Silent Hill 2 (where my username is from) but that ending had a criticism of being tone deaf.

Micah would be cute, too, if he wasn't racist or had anger issues I'd say. And I like that photo, it's been fun looking for alt fashion for men. ^_^

[At-tan vs At-tan]

you have a real talent animating your characters... they really truly feel alive. a highlight for me were the last 2 panels on page 2. fantastic storytelling as well! im not a professional comment reader so maybe im wrong but i havent seen any mentions of your storytelling ability. ive grown attached to at-tan and to doctor. i want to see her prosper and be genuinely happy, and i hope thats how the story ends, whenever—if :P—it ends. until then... god bless you and god bless at-tan and doctor :]

handofdog responds:

Thank you! I like to watch how people move/act irl, it's a tip I see cartoonists mention. I've gotten messages about my writing abilities before. It always takes me by surprise but also very pleasant to speak to people this way. I'm a complete amateur when it comes to art/writing/comic paneling. "Amateur" not meaning "bad", just that I have to teach myself.

The people who just go for it regardless of their current skill or professional status give me inspiration cause I like their stuff and would be sad if they never put their creations out there.

At-tan still a work-in-progress, but I'm getting there. God bless you, too. Thank you for the comment. :)
