Today's comic--really more of an online graphic novel, as it says on the website--is The Meek, written, drawn and everything'd by
alexds3. One of the brains behind the now-ded Under Lock & Key (for which I am still crying, just a little bit). Edit: whoops, I'm wrong. See comments for truth and justice.
It's a fantastical story set on a grand scale in a place ruled by...

...this guy. His name's Luca deSadar, he's the leader of the Pasori peoples, and the Emperor of the Northern Territories. He's a just a tad conflicted, and possibly insane. He's also the one the artist draws a lot.
( Um...some nudity under the cut? Probably not noticeable to anyone walking past you. )
...You done? Okay. A much larger chunk of the story used to be available online in the form of sketched out pages, but those seem to have disappeared. Or else I can't find them. Ah, well, all the better for you! Now I can't link you to spoilers. Suffice to say: rocks fall, and everyone dies. Or do they?
But seriously, the story is already more detailed and well thought out than it was in its sketch phases, and I can tell this is going to be a graphic novel of epic proportions. Some other useful links: the artist's deviantart and homepage. Also Meekipedia, which is exactly what it sounds like. Happy reading!

- 17:55 Thinking of forming a religion where the priestly costume involves tutus. Lots of tutus. Thoughts? #
Ahaha, wow. Haven't posted to this in forever, sorry. Anyway: story time!
Halloween is coming up and one of my costumes is going to be a clown. My friend Annie and a few other people are also going to be clowns and we're going to join hands on DP and be a Chain of Fools (ba-dum-ching). I am very excited, not least because I got to get a flouncy blue tutu as a part of the costume. It's just. I love it so much.

The picture does not do justice to the poofiness of this thing. I want to wear it everywhere and there is nowhere it would not be inappropriate. Sadface. So I've just been wearing it around the house along with the bowler hat and clown nose that are also part of the costume.
ME: *flounce flounce flounce*
LAINEY: [comes home from work]
ME: *flounce flou--*
LAINEY: ...
ME: I just feel so fancy!
So, there that is. I still need another costume, though. I'm thinking maybe Safari Dude with a pith helmet or something to go with Natalie's awesome elephant costume. Decisions, decisions.
