Inktober – Happy Dog (6) and Echo (7)
Here’s a twofer.
Day 6: This is a dog, in case you couldn’t tell. Dogs are hilarious. I’m not sure if these fancy ink pens always look like cheap markers when used, or if it’s just my special artistic touch that’s transformed them.
Day 7: I was reading about Echo and Narcissus, looking at depictions of them, and got a little annoyed. So I wrote this.
Everyone remembers Narcissus
But what of Echo?
She didn’t matter to herself
So she doesn’t matter to others
Always a footnote in someone’s painting
A wan satellite
A visual element
Used to balance out and set off
Narcissus’s self-importance.
And I drew Echo (alone so Narcissus with his lesser problems and greater charisma can’t steal the limelight), in the process of dwindling away into the cliffs. Soon only her voice will be left.
Maybe the Dog and Echo could get together and make a wholesome duo 🙂

Aw, she needs a dog doesn’t she. Someone to pay attention to HER! They would be good for each other 😀

Thank you so much!
Maybe one day I might sell little comic books, or make another webcomic. But for some reason the idea of selling what I have is freaking me out.
…maybe that means I need to do it…
