Introduction to phantom limbs
http://therithere.comicgenesis.com/d/20051003.html

You know the drill now: Monday's comic won't show up until Monday, GMT -08:00.

Livejournal entries on [info]therithere now have tags. From now on, if you're looking for a specific old comic, you're not stuck with going back through each comic chronologically until you stumble across it. Now if the comic you're looking for has (say) a wolf in it, you can just look up all the entries with "wolves" listed in the tags.

[edit] There were technical difficulties, so the discussion about the comic itself is all actually on this other Livejournal entry.


I've got 22 more Theri There comics sketched out, partially scripted, or at least with a single idea jotted down. I've also got two more comics that are finished and all ready to use. Just so you know that I'm all prepared to be in this for the long run. :)

Worktime for each comic: half an hour for a very simple single-panel comic. For a more complex comic... hm... this one I spent something like six to nine hours on, since I spent a few days rolling the ideas around, scripting it, editing the script because it was even more wordy to begin with, sketching individual panels, planning the page layout... and redoing the first panel during inking, since I botched it the first time. Hand-lettering isn't as easy as it looks. All of the comics I've made in the past were things that didn't involve planning ahead like this, and a lot of them were inked without even being penciled first. In the case of Theri There, however, the message and quality of presentation are important, and I take care with them.

Just found this community and am very impressed with it. Finding it very entertaining so far, we'll be reading! :D

BTW, the link seems to be broken or nonexhistant or something.

From the entry:
You know the drill now: Monday's comic won't show up until Monday, GMT -08:00.

Orion's posting these ahead of schedule- you've got a bit of a wait before Keenspace ComicGenesis displays Monday's comic. (Sadly, you have to wait until Monday.)

Of course, Orion's letting xir trickster side through here, obviously- xe's teasing all of us with discussion about the comic, and subject clues from the post tags, but we can't see it for a good fourteen hours yet! (I think it shows up at about 6:00a in my time zone, or at least it was 6:15a when I saw it last week. If my memory serves me, and anything related to 6:15 AM is very suspect, given the nature of 6:15 AM versus someone who would much rather be nocturnal.)

Oh dangit, here I am having an airhead moment again..*embarassed*

Hehe yes, I can see there's a bit of a tease there, lol.

6:15AM? I'm usually up by 5EST so shouldn't be too much of a problem for me hehe.

Nooo! No comic for me today.

Wait, it's meant to be up a 8:00-am or -pm?

I'm guessing pm, because there is no comic, and it's 03:39pm here right now.

Gah! There was a problem with how I set the update time. I hadn't spotted the mistake before, since usually I was busy on Mondays. I've tweaked the update time now. The comic should appear today...

Don't mind the Keenspace Comicgenesis newbie.

Well, it's past midnight, so it looks like yesterday's today didn't quite materialize... can we hope for a tomorrow, which is actually later today by today's time frame?

Well said and drawn. I hate sitting on my tail when it decides to make itself known.

Hmmm, when my dad passed on I saw a ball of light on his torso that suddenly jetted to his feet and around and struck me...I was stunned and quite physically pushed...as it went right through me (around after bumping me?) and then up around his head and straight out the open window! Sounds similar to me.

I'd just like to comment on panel 4: Absolutely correct! Happens, with odd side-effects.

I've npticed phantom limbs before, I've noticed a warm, tuging sensation, and itch feeling off and on on my back, at one moment i can visualize demonic wings and another time angelic wings, hell maybe I have both who knows I'm not even sure what kind of wings my spirit has, and I've had a feeling of having a tail like it's moving back and forth, and I've sat on the floor and felt a sore feeling as if sitting on something, as well as a sensation of feeling something grazing my legs while sitting, and I've felt a sensation on my head before both off to the side of my center forehead, so yeah I can relate to phantom limbs, I have a feeling that I may have awakened at midnight lastnight, cuz I was drawn to the midnight hour, 9 minutes before and i had the urge to watch the clock off and on, and then at midnight i felt really weak, but before midnight hit I could feel my phantom limbs better than before midnight struck.

I've had quite a collection of 'interesting' experiences with my phantom limbs, all of them annoying or disturbing. I've experienced things like panel 4 a handful of times, though the interactions never had a physical impact on my body, but I definitely felt my wings and tail get bashed around by objects/people, however usually they act completely ghostly where they simply pass through everything as if not there yet I feel a strange pins and needles sensation when something does move through them so long as the limbs make themselves known to me.

I'd have to say my worst experience with my phantom limbs would be when I ate when my phantom limbs wouldn't go away. It was pretty disturbing when I head to keep reaching /through/ my snout (dragon) to eat.
