As brilliant as ever Low Roads! The whole comic is coming along greatly and the way its set makes me want to learn what happens next, tickling or no.
Thanks so much, Dev! I'm delighted that this story is delivering enjoyment, and doubly so that the non-fetish elements are holding their own! My feeling is that the tickling quotient will prove all the more teasing (and sometimes surprising) if it's thoroughly integrated into a more mundane context. Of course, this may sometimes aggravate the rabid tk enthusiast... fair warning to me to motivate as many opportunities as possible!
This is the part when I hoist you up on my shoulders and carry you around the stadium! ^^
A wonderful sentiment, but perhaps dangerous! People tell me I'm a hulk! XD
AWESOME job LBH. The writing is simply wonderful, the humor is dead on, and the art just keeps getting better and better.
You sir, kick total bootie 🙂

Cherished praise from a multi-talent who understands all those areas of creative endeavor so very well and exercises them to such splendid effect! My profoundest thanks, Bandito! Your compliments justify everything I've hoped so fondly to accomplish with this series! Special thanks also for the wording... between here and the TTC, I seem to be punting a fair measure of "behind" this time out! XD
What a wonderful comic!
Thanks so much for posting it.
😀
My greatest pleasure! And thanks to you for your most kind compliments!
Where to start? Once again, Low Roads, a masterpiece! From the very first panel, when I saw Mercy and Angie trodding through the forest barefoot, I knew that this was going to be a good one. The sense of anticipation was almost too much to bear. It was outdone only by the cliffhanger ending. I can't wait to see Mercy tickled silly by the thing in the basement. Or will she use her new found powers to enter the dreamworld and bamf out of there?
Once again, Moonknight, I'm blown away by and incredibly grateful for the volumes of thoughtful consideration you've devoted to this story! I know it's succeeded beyond my fondest hopes when it prompts such intelligent, insightful observation!
Mercy's present pickle (caught between the slats) ought indeed to test her new understanding of the Dreamtime realm... but I'm not at all confident that she's gained sufficient disciple to ignore immediate distractions. Mastery of her potential may prove thorny, I fear!
Angie is becoming an intriguing and titillating (pun intended) character. Her impromptu tickling of Mercy and practically begging to be tickled in return was wonderful.
I'm very pleased that scene made a favorable impression! "Impromptu" is the perfect word to describe it... I wanted this to be off-hand and a bit of a surprise. Also a change-of-pace form the extended, "forced" situations that take center stage in the story. I'm likewise pleased that Angie's developing some independent distinction... not easy, when seconded to the hyper, A-personality Mercy.
And the art was fantastic as usual. I found panel 11.3 to be particularly transcendant. Mercy's expression is utterly gleeful in spite of her protests.
Ah! I'm so glad you like that! It's turned out to be one of my favorites, too! Should serve as a lesson to me to include more scenes of sheer playfulness!
I'm not at all a fan of */m, but hey, you're writing for a broad audience here. And the dialogue is once again engaging.
Yeah, I'm with you, actually. I dont find anything particularly exciting or intriguing about male tickling. I have received requests for it, though (years gone by, at this point, the production process is so slow!), and it did prove a useful exercise to play against my instincts. Originally, the victim was intended to be Tessie Tingle, the school teacher glimpsed at the beginning of Chapter 5 (never fear! I still have wicked plans for her!) The series' lion's share of ticklees will inevitably be female, as all the primary participants are female (Mercy's journey of discovery being loosely influenced by de Sade's
Justine misadventures). However, to exclude all male-based incidents would strain verisimilitude, I think, and might lend the project a taint of misogyny. I do have a few further */M, F/M and M/M scenarios planned... summoning up the needed creative enthusiasm will prove my primary challenge.
The Cheshire Cat's tirade (beginning with "Zounds! Such frightful outrage!") may be the finest piece of writing ever to grace these boards. Not only that, but despite my desire to see the girls tickled, the tension in your writing was such that I was actually rooting for them to escape detection by the bogeys and their allies. And believe me, that's saying something on a tickling board!
This is very heady praise! Thank you so much! It's the very sort of complex reaction I (and, I suspect, every writer) prays to inspire!
I tip my hat, sir.

And I to you, sir! Such kind attention provides all the impetus I'll ever require to inspire my very best efforts!
