“A Pound Of Gruff”: Humpty, Pg. 1
Humpty has been in the background for far too long in my opinion. He’s a really nice guy. Hope you enjoy this little trip into his head:)
As for the next journal, not sure yet if you’re going to get Miss Muffet, Jack, or Dorothy next. We’ll all be surprised!
Note: I made a small change to the strip — changed the spelling of “senior” to “signore” which is the Italian spelling — and it doubled the strip up again… Huh. Wish I could find a way to make it not do that when I clearly click “replace image”…
Oh, and the text:
******************
I do a lot for Mother Goose and the others: cooking healthy meals, keeping the peace, minding my own goo, not smoking inside. I’m a giving kinda egg-man but I gotta tell ya, there are some moments…
That last mission. Venice, right? Great city, nice folks. I started to walk into the nearest shop for some intel, like Miss Muffet and Dorothy and presumably Jack went off to do, but I heard someone down the way call out.
“Signore, come in, come in!â€
A guy wearing a cook’s apron was grinning and waving, asking me into his shop. Well, I’m always interested in new cuisine and fellow chefs so I put on a big smile and went in. Smelled pretty good but as soon as I walk in, the guy put a tray of poached eggs right under my nose and I nearly fainted!
Now, I know I’m not supposed to be upset by that sorta thing but I also know I’m not supposed to even BE an egg, least of all a walking, talking egg-man. I’ve been cracked, shelled, stretched, enlarged, and shrunk. I can turn into wood or metal or whatever I want, but I always turn back into… well… me. I can’t help what I am, just like I can’t help getting upset over seeing my ‘brethren’ cooked. Sometimes ya just gotta suck it up and move on, too, like my goo. Huh… I haven’t been very leaky lately. That’s a good thing, right? Gotta keep positive. One day soon maybe I won’t be so cracked up and in pain all the time. Heck, I’ll suffer some egg-citement for that.
Nice look into Humpty’s head as even I forgot what his powers are and how they work for the team. So he’s like a defense barrier for the team, right ?
I cannot wait for the next journal installment either.
How is everyone else liking the journals? I’ve noted a decrease in comments since they started so I thought I’d ask.
Marcus> Thanks:) And, yes, I thought a reminder would be a good idea. This was actually one of the very first missions we ever did in RP format once we came up with Shards:) Man, that was like in 2007!
I am enjoying these little Journal moments and a great look into the minds of the characters. Please do keep it going…
I’m not always good at timely comments because I tend to read through my webcomics bam-boom-boop and go back later with a comment if something pops in my head. I just kind of re-ead these jurnal strips today. >_>
Oh that’s okay, Dave:) Thanks for posting, friend:)
I haven’t been commenting on a lot of the comics that I read because I’ve been so busy lately, so it’s nothing against you. That said, I’m happy to read these. They’re a bit like the “Missing Moments” over at “Sister Claire”.
Thanks, Reynard:) And yes, they are:) Just a little different but definitely an inspiration. I’m a fan, too:)
