Audrey’s Magic Nine – #16
I know a couple of people that have fallen down the stairs, and each one of them have since developed almost a phobia of stairs because of it. I wonder if there’s a scientific name for such a phobia. Regardless, it stinks. All phobias stink. Well…unless they save your life. Then it’s okay. π
On a side note, we finally got our “comments section” below up and running. So feel free to…well…comment. π
This week I’ve chosen The Oswald Chronicles as the webcomic I’d like to spotlight. Oswald is a long-formΒ fantasy story that focuses on the journeys of a mouse named Oswald. Oswald is a scribe, possesses magic, and can speak.Β How he is able to do such things is still a mystery, that the story slowly reveals through the many adventures he encounters. The story updates at the moment, five days a week. There are two hardback books available (as you can see below) that contain beautiful B/W fantasy art.
Comments! ‘Bout time! Great fun so far!
Like I’m sure others will post, I saw an ad elsewhere and recognized the style from LPI. I hope this runs just as long and successfully.
Hahahaha hey……Charlie Spencer! Glad it’s been an enjoyable read so far. Hope we can keep it that way. I’m not sure if this story will be around as long as LPI. There’s no shortage of story to tell, so that’s not the issue. The running story has 12 chapters (we’re currently on 4), before it wraps up. But it could easily go way beyond that if readers want it to. And I’d be happy to oblige. If not, chapter 12 will wrap everything up nicely just like we did with LPI. Everyone wins. Glad to have you back on board!
Bathmophobia, or fear of slopes or stairs, is a somewhat complicated phobia. It is quite similar to climacophobia, or fear of climbing stairs, except in its specific focus. In bathmophobia, the sufferer may panic when simply observing a steep slope, while those with climacophobia typically experience symptoms only when expected to actually climb or descend. https://www.verywell.com/bathmophobia-2671848
I learn something new everyday. I’m actually familiar with climacophobia, but that description did not fit what I was referring to. Bathmophobia however, is spot on. I didn’t even know that was a word until just now. Thanks Nightopian. π
At least Tabitha didn’t get it quite as bad as Maude Flanders…
And it’s good to see the comments up and running. There have been several strips already where I was really looking forward to the discussion, only to remember there wasn’t any.
Ha! So true Wizard. Maude had it WAY worse.
Looks like this show may be facing a lawsuit after this… and I wouldn’t blame her in the least either.
Those T-shirt guns are obviously way overpowered if they can knock someone onto the stairs out of a sitting position. Not to mention her hand wasn’t raised meaning she didn’t request a shirt, so they can’t claim it’s her fault for indicating she wanted a shirt.
Yeah, I think I did make them a little too overpowered. I’m usually listening to music or movies when drawing pages, and tend to be influenced. I’m betting whatever I was listening to was aggressive. π
Guys, we need to check the power of the T-shirt cannons, They’re not knocking the audience out on the first blow.
I sort of overdid it there a bit. One of my biggest faults is that I frequently start drawing pages with the thought…”Wouldn’t it be cool if….”
knowing/seeing these guys, It would not surprise me if the overpowered T-shirt cannon was done on purpose.
Truth. Hiding behind a mask makes it easier to be devious. π
What does that mean sorry.
If the cannon is overpowered and they are doing it on purpose, I was just suggesting that it would be easier for them to do it because they all have masks and makeup and can’t be identified. But looking back, I realize the guys shooting the cannons don’t have masks at all…which might make them even more evil. π
Thank you for the spotlight Courtney π

Ha. No problem JD. How could I not spotlight one of my favorite reads. π
