The Shapes (webtoon/comic strip)

[Sam the Cartoonist]

Hey folks, this is Sam here and I just started posting my daily comic strip The Shapes on Webtoon and Tapas. It's an episodic comedy about a happy-go-lucky cone named Triangle who works for a newspaper company in the fictional city and country Shap City, Shap Island and the motley cast of other shapes personalities around him.

Feel free to give your honest thoughts and opinions, I won't bite.

I like it so far. A bit off-beat. I'll definitely check more of it out.

Hey Fone Bone, glad to see you here and hear you enjoy it so far!

 

[Fone Bone]

No problem. It is very important to me to check out and encourage other artists on this board.

As a birthday present to you I caught myself up on The Shapes.

It's great and much better from when I left off near the beginning. "Swear Words" is funny and "Onomatopoeia-Fu" is badass. But the highest compliments go to the "Kidz Suckz" saga. It actually has a bit of surprising emotional resonance, which I love.

I probably won't be reading the strip every day. But I'll do similar binge reads every few months. Honestly, it was a pleasure. Good work.

I very much appreciate that present and your feedback. I was actually worried that the Kidz Suckz storyline leaned too heavily on the sentimental side in comparison to my other Shapes comics, so it brings me great comfort to hear you loved it.

Do not be afraid to vary the tone. Ever. That's something I very personally respond well to and I think other people do too.

Gonna do another binge soon, I think. Do you remember where I left off?

I think you left off after the Close Encounters with Bob Kind storyline.

I think you left off after the Close Encounters with Bob Kind storyline.

I'll reread that and go from there in a few days.

Still haven't done the binge. Sorry, Sam. I've been going through some bad stuff recently and sort of need to get my head on straight. I do promise to read it though. Hopefully sooner rather than later.
