Wow, that comic's really amazing, I really love the style C: I wanna know what's it's about I think it looks better right-to-left: at least, I consider anything manga style to look better like that. After all, if a Japanese person drew a western comic we would expect it to be left-to-right (not to mention it would look more natural).
Likewise, if you ever need someone to clean up or whatever.
Haha, I'm sure you'll do absolutely fine [:

Enh. Most of my stuff is normal, but this one just isn't.... Oh well. You'll help me, really? I have this manga studio software, but I don't know how to work it at all. I'm so bad at computers, which sucks since my career has everything to do with computers... I guess I'll just have to work harder than everyone else in college. T^T I don't know what manga studio is but I have photoshop and vectoring software. I'll help in any way I can! But I still firmly believe the direction of a comic should be that which matches the language it is written in. If a japanese person did a western comic written in a western language I would expect left-to-right, but if they wrote it in japanese I would expect right-to-left, but that's probably just me being elitist -_-

Ooh I wanted Manga Studio, considered buying it, but wasn't sure how often I'd use it and it looked too complicated anyway.
I think it should be right-to-left too. And Raihor, does that mean that all manga translated into English should be flipped to being left-to-right, and therefore ruining the original idea? Quite technically, most manga written in English are right-to-left, because it's English text.

No, I mean it should be drawn in the language it was written in. If something's translated, it should stay in it's original direction. I'm talking about the artist. But it's only my opinion.

Manga Studio is interesting. It certainly takes a while to get used to. I bought it for my girlfriend for our future comic. At first, she couldn't do anything except open the program. There's quite a bit of difficulty in learning it, but once you do, it's got lots of fun tools. Kind of like the poor man's photoshop. Except that I've found photoshop to be much more difficult to learn. Though there is no replacement for photoshop, since it is the best in image editing.
Anyways, nice wordless comic. ^_^ Can't wait to read what she's saying to him in that last panel. ^_^
And, I have no opinion on the left-right or right-left issue. I can read it either way, so it doesn't matter to me. ^_^

Never heard of Manga Studio, but it does sound good. I'm lucky because I learned to use Photoshop when I was young and could absorb it up quick.
Eh, I never tend to read manga that's either flopped or written left-to-right. It's just... is confusing, and tends to be in a horrible American-style which I personally think brutally murders absolutely everything. And when I say 'brutally murders' I do mean 'hacked to death slowly with rusty chainsaw whilst being set alight with out-of-date cooking oil'. So I suppose I prefer right-to-left because I'm being stereotypical.

I actually agree with Raihor. If you're English, then righting something Japanese-style seem a little poser-ish. I see it sometimes and think, "Wow, what a wanna-be!" Then again, there's other stuff that's written that way and really awesome too.
I've played around with both, but I do like left-to-right best. So I'm once again in agreement with Raihor. *high five*
Oh, still waiting on information about Jack Frost. Thanks!

jack frost was created buy the vikings or the Russians, he can be viewed as a replacement for old man winter, he is said to be able to fly and breath frost, in Russian culture he is said to be the son of "blast" and there is a story that says a step-mom left her in the woods for the dead, that's when jack frost, or father frost in the story, came and saved her and when the dad came back to save her she was fine the the step-mom was pissed and left to see this father frost and she was rude so he froze her. here is a picture of him: this is all from wikipedia so.... just a pointer

Yus, it does look like newspaper. Y'can see the print through the back of the image.
He's not a guy I'd like to meet on a dark night. Or anywhere, for that matter.
(haha, the guy right by the horses head (in the water) has a brilliant expression)

Why thank you shadow! Okay, here are some more pictures: My friend wanted me to draw his super villain, the exceedingly happy man with the power to make people emo with just one touch. Christmas present for my Harry Potter obsessed friend. Asian dragons? Never! Christmas present for my friend, who wanted this dancing transformer on a t-shirt reading, "I Lika Do Da ChaCha!"
