Kung-Fu-Dwarf Issue 1 Page 6
So, Flambe the dragon makes another appearance in the first issue of Kung-Fu_Dwarf, which I made two and a half decades ago when I was in high school. Obviously, art was not (and still is not) my strong suit. But it was an amusing way to spend time after all the homework for math class was done.
It also let me make fun of comic books, a hobby I enjoyed back then and even today.
Sometimes in comics, you have a writer that decides to explain what just happened through either narration boxes or a character stating what's going on. This page goes out of it's way with the extra large speech balloons to do that.
I no longer remember exactly why I made Flambe seem so confused in his speech. I suspect a lot of it was to get to have that second huge speech balloon to keep him mostly off the panels without making the panels too empty, as the way he looked back a few pages earlier was... well, not the best dragon I'd ever drawn. Not that I've drawn amazingly better ones, but... he looked very poor.
Though I also think I wanted to imply the dragon was bored with Jack's story, and perhaps the dwarf himself.
We also can clearly see that Jack likes to jump to conclusions. This is certainly something comic book heroes do a lot.
Since I read the AUP and see that the whole comic does not fit well within what is allowed, I'm only posting the pages where the dragon makes an appearance. The whole book is appearing over on FA since they AUP allows a little more wiggle room for non-furry submissions. I've got those submissions rated as "Mature" simply because of cartoon violence. Might be a slightly excessive rating over there, but again I'm trying to follow the given definitions on each sight. The pages I'm posting here and the definition of the ratings means the three I post here will all be general.

The lettering has been redone, which included filling in the boxes and speech balloons with crisp white pixels. In doing so, I have made an occasional tweak to clean up the dialog grammatically, but by and large, it is untouched from the original.
There will be only one more page with Jack's dragon mentor in it, so the showing of my simplistic artwork is over halfway finished here.
