Hi Kuenbu! I?ll definitely keep that in mind. Actually I am working with Bojay on a new Age Progression comic that is only AP, no AR or shrinking. It should be ready in a few months or so. It?s a shorter comic (9 pages) that I?ll probably combine with an AR / AP comic. You really like clothes bursting, don?t you?

About the artwork, I can appreciate the comments. It is REALLY difficult to find a good age regression / age progression artist. There are really very few artists out there who are capable of showing a person getting older or younger in a convincing way. The guy at Palcomix does it really well, I think, as does Bojay. Also if you look at any size-changing comic (even Marvel and DC) it?s not unusual to have a lot of variation in size, etc. I think there are very few AR / AP comics out there, period, beyond these two artists.

Just so you get an idea of the difficulty, the way Palcomix works is that I send then the script and they translate it into Spanish and send it in to their artists in Peru. A few months later I get the art back, completed, without any chance for comments. So I?m pretty much stuck with what I get. One of the reasons I like the Pepper Pair is that they will provide sketches and will respond to comments. Add to that that Palcomix just raised their prices by 20% and you can see it?s not easy to produce these comics.

That said, I think the artist did a really nice job here. He?s created a whole world of a girl?s summer camp, with a bunch of major characters, and made it very believable. This is really not an easy thing to do and I can tell you a lot of artists would just refuse to even try (I know, because I?ve been asking various other artists for quotes).

So anyway I do appreciate the comments and your support. I?m hoping this one will sell well, because I?d like to keep making these comics.

This makes me very happy, as I, too, was fairly disappointed with this release I've bought every one of your AR/AP-related comics, and this is the first one where I've had basically no intention to look at it again.

edit; I should add that it's really nice to see you taking not only complements (anyone can be good at that :P) well, but also the criticism. I think as long as people aren't jerks or terribly rude, it's good to have that kind of feedback from customers.
