Okay, this is a piece of shameless PR here

I've been bored to hell doing my year project and finished reading two other DF strips i managed to find, but they're quite dead. So considering the rate of my boredom i took on planning my own DF web comic strip, and it was so interesting i gave it a try.

The bad thing, i am not nearly an artist.
The good thing, at least i can draw better than "5-years-old-got-the-crayons style", but this is my first comic strip, so "be gentle"(c) 
Another thing, English is my second, so spelling/styling mistakes are possible, i'll fix them if someone would point them for me.
And, even before anyone asks - i know that dwarves are usually drawn somewhat different from what i do; there is an explanation in the plot for that, it's just not online yet.

This is the first page

And this is where it lives:
http://dfstory.thecomicseries.com/

There's only 5 pages online so far, but i think it's enough to decide if i should go on and post more.

I'll keep an eye on it.
My only problem with alot of the story mode DF comics ive read is that they are boring. A lot of the jokes have been done already, mandates, nobles, pathfinding, socks, etc.

[Aklyon]

DF comics are always kinda interesting.

[Sabin Stargem]

A good start.

That your website changes my mouse cursor over links is annoying.

that's not my website, it's a free hosting portal for comic strips, so i have no power over this kind of thing

i've seen only two so far, PixelJunk and the one which name i don't remember, but i remember a fisher-woman character there. there's more of them that i've missed?

[MrWiggles]

Do you need a writer?

[Flaede]

I'd definitely watch this one. Most DF comics peter out quickly, though. Which is a shame.

Yeah I drew boatmurdered but stopped quite early. I need to change the style, I am not content with a crappy style I used, but tit takes time. Also Fault has an awesome comic which is not based on DF lore, but has a really awesome world which should be loved by any DF fan.

Inside jokes about DF have been done but it's a rich backdrop to set a comic universe in for setup of the timeless jokes. Not to mention the many different opportunities for slapstick.

[Corbald]

Neat! #2 had me laughing. Keep it up!

i have plot planned for 20-something pages ahead, but i can't say i won't need a writer after that! it's always good to have someone with freash ideas

yeah, DF universe is sooo rich...  and after a skeletal undead toad alone ate my whole fortress with two waves of migrants, i say: never underestimate the fun that DF may produce beside basic jokes about "socks of death" and nobles doing sky-jumping...
