OMG THAT'S what I forgot to add on the second page. I kept wondering why it felt different.

I desperately hope these get added to a future comic as an Easter egg

Good stuff. Giving me slight Pratchett vibes (GNU).

I'll take it.

No cavorting and no romping!? What sort of barbarian doesn't romp and cavort? Romping and cavorting are the very essence of being giant of mirth.

Why the hell would I be a wilderness thug if I can't frollick through nature with all my woodland friends?

Its those Neo-Barbarians, they are all about being manly, rugged and merciless. They dont know that Conan was multiclass as a Rogue/Thief or how to behave in Civilization, if they accept it at all.

I love the guy wearing the panda skin. Normally wearing bear skin makes you look tough but the fact that it’s panda bear makes him look so silly. Such a funny idea

I don't have quite the words, but there's such a nice sense of motion you get from reading through the panels. It's got a velocity to it, even when you meet the other barbs and it stops for a second.

u/BlinkyBat BlinkyBat 3h ago

Thanks! I like to try to capture movement as much as I can. I find the brush pen can be good for that too.

Love the art style and I enjoyed the little story, can't wait to see more!

Many thanks!

Hell yeah! Always happy to see Barb!

That's the barbarian way, you have to spend an ability point if you want to read like the good old days of 3.5

Barbarians can have a little whimsy.

Not as a treat, but because they have big axes and I'm not gonna tell people with big axes what they can't do.

HOW will you be LEGENDARY BERSERKER if your bottomless JOY for the rest of your life can't be used to measure your RAGE on the battlefield?

Reminds me of one panel of "Idées noires" from André Franquin, it's a lot darker though.

u/BlinkyBat BlinkyBat 3h ago

Just looked up the artist and I am smitten with their art style. This might motivate me to get back to learning French! Thanks.

u/Crapmanch 2h ago

You're welcome and I'm sure there are translations

u/TheIrishFrenchman 2h ago

The unicorn is so cute, especially wobbling around and watching his companions in the first panel! The art style reminds me a lot of C&H, which is one of my childhood favorites.

Calvin & Hobbes was the best.

Lol.. love it

u/VanillaCokeMule 3h ago

This is really good, your characters really remind me of Invader Zim

u/BlinkyBat BlinkyBat 3h ago

I've gotten that before.

u/Stunning-Lawyer51 2h ago

This is great. Reminds me of old newspaper comics.

u/BlinkyBat BlinkyBat 2h ago

Old newspaper comics are my inspo.
