I just love everyone's expression and clothes on this one.

Wow, the art style of the first few panels looks so cool, almost like it was drawn on a scratchboard! I love how the blue light of the storm is gradually creeping into the background. It's an effective and ominous reminder that things are about to come to a head. Poor Rocky, though... I'm getting more and more concerned about him the longer this goes on. That vacant stare is super unsettling...

His expressions were already creepy enough, made even worse by the gash on his forehead. In the older comics he looked creepy in a mischievous and chaotic kind of way. Here, he just looks dead inside...

Okay, Rocky, baby, you gotta stop with the creepy grinning...

Oh jeez, I'm so hopelessly jealous of how you draw clothes... or anything else really.

Rocky... is actually kind of messed up... in the head.... did I know this before??

Well, he did have his noggin cracked open for a bit; even to him, that's gotta be a bit of a problem :/Β

(Johnny Bravo voice) This won't end well.
Rocky's still driving a flaming truck, but this one's more metaphorical. That sewn-shut third-eye'd stare says much.

That top half is mindblowing! I love how it looks like an etching.Β I'm in awe of those details you put in there and how the eye flows effortlessly through the panels in that water!

I really, really dig the black and white panels, very different and unique compared to the other comics. Skeleton Rocky looks so wicked, especially with the crack in his skull... oh boy.

... I can't tell a lie- Well, yes, I CAN tell a lie. I can tell a lie quite well, in fact. It's more like I SHAN'T tell a lie.
I'm getting sidetracked. The point is that Rocky's smile at the end creeps me right the fuck out.

Rocky is insane. Well more insane. I love the wig-split rhyming.Β

Ok, by how it looks I think we can officially declare Rocky insane.
If seriously in the beginning I would never suspect that this character can turn into some kind of psychopath. Sure he was crazy but in a goofy way.

The tcnique you used for the fisΓ¬rst part with Rocky's riymes is amazing! So similar to old engravings from XIX century...Β

Please...someone please tighten Rocky's stitches already! I'm getting second hand hurting!

Rocky's expression in the last panel REALLY looks like Toga's from My Hero Academia. Just that slightly unhinged smile.

You know, if taken out of context, Rocky's expression in the last panel would be positively terrifying.

I love Rocky. X'D I love his face, I love his expressions, and I just completely adore him and his crazy antics!!

That poetry was stunning actually, love how it incorporated the water cycle. I also relate to Freckle here lol. And I think Rocky is a lil more touched than ever too.

I got a Calvin and Hobbesesque vibe from that poem, and it was wonderful. <3

Hey, at least you can do poetry, Tracy. I was always all thumbs at it. I can sort of fake it, but I was never very good at it.

I think rocky has something deeper inside him thats darker than what we may have previously suspected...
A bit of head trauma has shaken it closer to the surface
You're actually a really lovely poet btw, I enjoy whenever rocky waxes poetic

Your artwork continues to astound me! Β The contrast present in the sepia tones is stunning, and I love the use of color here! Β Now, I can understand the process of drawing the actual comic fairly well, as an artist myself, but the poetry has to be my favorite part--mostly because it is a skill I never quite got the hang of. Β
The wording is very vivid and makes me wonder what poor, tortured state Rocky is currently in. Β (He's been worrying me more than usual lately...) Β I just have to ask, what's your process for writing poetry? Β I'm just curious how you go about writing it and revising it when necessary. Β
Thanks again for sharing your artwork with us! Β I'm excited to see the next installment! Β

I'm more worried about Rocky's mental state than I was before, which is quite an achievement.

I think Rocky's always been like this...not to these extremes, mind you, but he's always been like this.

His meter may have been better previously.

I love all that existential poem stuff only for it all to be dismissed by "Just yelling at the sky".

I'm glad you combined the poet with the follow-up comic strip. It's nice to see the two together, unlike the website archive.

That was a Bloody good start! i love where this is going!

I guess I missed the first part... How damaged is Rocky now? Mentally?

Well, he got hit in the head by a tractor of some sorts, so.. pretty bad. πΆ

A bit of its tilling equipment anyways. I'm just wondering how much of how he we was before is still in there.

Can I just say that your poetry is friggin amazing. Totally reminds me of something Poe would write. :3

That's much too generous a comparison, but thank you!
