Suddenly: DEER!
This, from experience…
…sucks. Depending on the type of vehicle you are driving, it is usually just better to firmly set onto your brakes and keep going at it head on. If you hit it that sucks but, it is better than swerving and going straight into a ditch. Better to have a jacked up bumper and some free deer meat than to die hitting a tree at 50mph.
Just remember to duck, just in case it comes up over the hood and eats your windshield.
That wouldn’t work in Australia. My dad hit a roo once. The roo died, but so did the car.
Wel at least the people inside were alive. The roo dying and his car going khaput do suck but, a human life is worth more than both combined. Swerving around an animal at high speed is one of those causes of traffic accident fatalities that has an unfortunately high statistics number.
Sucks, and the vehicle might be totalled but, let off the gas, apply the brakes with just enough force to begin a CONTROLLED stop, duck to the side so the airbag doesn’t kill you, and the deer (or kangaroo, moose, or other large creature) doesn’t come through both the windshiled AND you, and hope it gets out of the way fast enough…
BUT ALWAYS keep your eyes on the road in front of you and maintain control of the vehicle. If it is any bigger than a white tailed deer though and you are driving something like a mini cooper…
your still better off hitting it than a tree in the ditch. The critter will give some no matter how big it is, that tree or concrete K-rail…
…won’t.
AND FOR GOD’S SAKE…
…PUT YOUR F#@%ING SEATBELT ON!!!
BEFORE you start driving down the ROAD!!!
Oh Deer!
That’s Horrible!
I love it.
Well, didn’t see that coming.
Evidently neither did Mike.
Do I smell dinner?
Who wants Venison?
I know I do!
SEVEN POINTS!!!!!!
I’ll buy that for a buck!
Great job once again Dirk! Too bad for that deer that may be getting creamed in the next comic but that’s life. Just hope to see Kate turn all wolfy once more.Plus one more thing,I’m thinking hard lately about creating my own web-comic any advice on that?
They’re probably just gonna wreck the car. No more, no less.
Whoops, this post should go below.
I got a BAD feeling about this.
I know it’s terrible, but a part of me thinks it’d be hilarious if the next page was just a blackout followed by “The End”. Points for a surprise ending, right?
Does the trope “torches and pitchforks” mean anything to you?
Bad day for the deer and the car, I reckon. But fresh venison will be delicious once they get all the glass out of it.
True that
What self respecting wolf wouldn’t want some fresh Venison
Predicting serious injury here for Mike, while Kate is forced to go beast-mode in order to free him from the wreck and carry him to JT, thus revealing to JT Kate’s problem and securing JT’s co-operation.
Or am I just a cynic?
Miss the deer, slam into a tree. Kate wakes up in a lab.
Mike’s swerving right (good choice, since the deer is moving to the left). However, there appears to be a very deep ditch on the right, blocked just ahead by a side road (with a culvert going under it).
It looks like they’re in for some severe deceleration if they go into the ditch. Good thing they’re both using their shoulder belts.
“Deer kill more people in America than any other animal.”
Certainly, some of the most radical maneuvering I’ve done on a road has been to avoid deer.
I precity a serious injury, which results in them endin up in the hospital with no other choice, and their location is then discovered by the authorities.
ugh, predict^
So, it is important that while traveling, do not distrub the driver.
Anyway, I like your comic. Being a Chinese and werewolf lover, I think your details are just excellent. In fact, I was shocked when I saw Mike speaks Cantonese.
One thing strange is that in Mike’s house, there was a photo of monk in front fo the Buddha statue. We Chinese don’t do this. We just have fruits, candles and incense etc.
Poor deer looks as surprised as they do!
No joke. Deer kill more people in America than any other animal. Second place isn’t even close.
a kangaroo would have been worse
In Missouri? I’d say so!
I agree with Christopher. How about some more transformation sequences? Kate as a werewolf is what makes the comic so interesting. No doubt your fans love her sex appeal. Mike as a werewolf would not be as gratifying, and Kate learning to control her feral bloodlust could be something to explore. Your attention to detail, Dirk, especially in your artwork, is extraordinary. Great comic! Really enjoy reading it. One more plug, though: give us some more full-on Kate transformation sequences…please?
Ugh, can we not talk about the ‘sex appeal’ of the wolves? Dirk’s not making this as a fetish comic, so don’t try to turn it into one.
Some of us are reading this for the plot.
Thank you.
Man, Kate and Mike are *never* gonna finish that conversation, are they?
I like that people are asking for various things to happen like they’re the ones controlling the story. We’re reading a book as it’s being written, not directing a film.
I will go ahead and say that, for whatever weird reason, seeing Kate in that much makeup pisses me off. I really can’t explain myself as to why, it just does. o_o
“I will go ahead and say that, for whatever weird reason, seeing Kate in that much makeup pisses me off. I really can’t explain myself as to why, it just does.”
Because it’s averse to her established character and kinda… “valley girl” in appearance.
Which is why it’s a disguise, thankfully.
Dirk’s not turning her into Paris Hilton. All is well.
I just wish the make-up didn’t look quite so heavy. I understand it’s for a disguise but the eyeshadow seems to be… very heavy. Almost like, well, a cheap hooker. I guess it’s probably pretty hard to convey the weight of make-up though in black and white without it just going heavy.
Panel 2 is great- the fist, the snarl, the lipstick.
NOOOOOOO! Reached the end of the comic!!! aww man..
So, Dirk, have you got this entire story planned out? If so, how many books are you planning to make?
I do have a rough outline for the whole story, though the details evolve as I get the script. Planning for three main story lines, of three parts each.
So, we’re close to wrapping up the first part of the second arc?
