"BLAM" I would have been mad if there wasn't at least one.

Very thought provoking. I love it! Kinda makes you wonder what we would do with ourselves if we had nothing left to fight for. Perhaps the irony is the fight itself might actually give us reason or purpose, but how good is that? Hmmm...

And I like the art as well, the way it illustrates all of his points. I have to admit that while realistic art is very cool, I'm more a fan of less-realistic/"cartoony" art, as it has more character to me. (So it always makes me kinda sad when people gripe about the less-realistic art styles. )

Thanks, always great to see someone who appreciates that sort of style too.

I wanted this piece to reflect a uniqueness artwise. Beachcomber is a favorite Transformer of mine, and I wanted the characters to bend more to my style (heavy cartooning background) rather than vice versa.

Seems eternal war is a part of life for Transformers. The fact that the more peace-inclined of their kind still show up to do their part for what's right says a lot of great things about the concept of hope. To me anyway.

It's war between toys.

Huh. If I felt that's all there was to it, I'd have stopped giving a rattrap's aft about Transformers about 20 years ago.

Yes, that sort of thing is exactly why I like "cartoonier" art - it's easier for the artist's individual style to show through. There's always a certain amount of individual quirkiness to it, whereas more realistic or 3D art can look a little samey to me sometimes.

I can't view it.

In place of where the Mosaic should be, there's a small window that says "Upgrade to Pro today! Bandwith Exceeded. photobucket."

Would someone who's more computer savvy than myself please tell me what I need to do?

Don't worry, it's not you. We're just having some image hosting issues.

I've got the strip back up on another host.
