What’s that, Coal?
Thistil Mistil Kistil
by Sarah Schanze
Velkommen!
Thistil Mistil Kistil is a comic about vikings, Norse gods, and their adventures together (or against each other). Updates are on Thor’s Day.
This is good. The “I’m an immortal super warrior who is also kinda dead” talk would be sometime in the future, but this is a good start.
That might be harder to broach.
“…run?”
As fast as possible.
Oh! The curl of the fingers in the last panel. The curl of the personality all through this segment.
Hold on tight!
One definition of courage…and not the worst, by any means.
Certainly an important one!
I feel we are getting a glimpse of Coal from before he died. A caring young person. Dying and becoming a einherji really messed him up.
Dealing with a bunch of backward attitudes about manliness and strength is what really messed him up. But he’s trying!
I keep coming back to this page. It conveys emotion in a stunning and beautiful way. One can feel the slow measured tempo of his speech, and how every stitch helps him release more of his inner feelings. Amazing
Oh man, thank you! It can always be hard to get “sound” across in a visual medium so I’m glad when it seems to work. I hand-wrote some of the later dialogue to make it look shakier too.
