These seem like two cool creative-type characters to pit together, and their objective (restoring the city's artistic element?) is an intriguing one; I like the bits of the cityscape we see here quite a bit, and there's some really cool formatting on page 2!

I do think the pages in the middle were a bit lost on me; are these a reference to anything? Or perhaps are we meant to read something into the patterns and messages on them? They're very intriguing for sure, but the fact that there are so many of them leave me feeling like I've missed something re: their intent, that might be keeping me from fully understanding the comic.

There's a few anatomical oddities as well; Queen's torso and legs seem alternately shortened in the early pages, and I'm unsure if this is intentional due to her inky/shifty nature or not. The expressions on the characters themselves are quite good though, and wonderfully expressive right up through the end.

My overall assessment would be a bit hard to fully follow, but very well done in terms of setting, set-up, and interaction between both of the main characters. Great job on this collab to both of you!

Heyooo!!!! First collab of the website and It is a pretty dang strong first go.

The panel work is real freakin' good, it works well with the pacing of this comic, a real chill conversation between some rad cats. Every single panel and page with channel is frickin' adorable, what an ability to illustrate such a little guy...

The writing is indeed strong, but I fell as though the theme of this comic, the story's before being brought out again/ healed. Could have been focused on a bit more at the end. Though the final stinger of a joke and visual punchline does bring a big Garfield grin to my face, some sort of bookend/ wrapping up of that setup, possibly through some visual of the work they created during this day would have been a satisfying conclusion alongside that character chemistry.

On that note I really enjoy the connection that Channel and Queen have when it comes to art. That similarity and in turn connection makes these two a really fun duo to watch talk and connect. Especially in their contrast of professional and casual natures. Their conversations flow naturally and smooth and the visuals to accompany them work really well. I especially love that moment of queen sitting down with the giant tattoo uhh... pen? gun? eh whatever, I really like that visual it's "simple" but a rad piece of art.

THE END, BEETCH

Really nice inkwork you got here. Curious which one of you did what though lol but beautiful work all around. I am afraid I did not get the true meaning behind the pages from page 4 to 8 (the portfolio pieces. They sure were reminiscent of old TV channels/stations which is on brand with Channel 626). It looks really interesting though. I was really curious how you're going to approach a 4th wall-breaking character like Channel 626 in a story like this but I think you managed to do it well. That expression on Queen Inc after she ate that lemon was frikkin hilarious. That 11th page was incredibly sweet. On behalf of the staff of Oculama, your support and contributions to this site don't go unnoticed. Thanks for gracing us with these wonderful characters and comics! Hooray for such a successful first collab in the site!

Great to see our first collaboration on here. Really fun bit of world building on display and I'm curious if there's anything that will come from it in the story. On the art side, there was some very interesting panel layouts on display in the actual comic portion. It was both creative and it flowed quite nicely. On the whole, it was very solid looking. The weakest part of it all was the "test" pages. They broke the flow of the comic and went on for too long overall. Certainly the intent is being a "test", but it didn't really give me any real feeling beyond wanting to get back to the comic proper. Still, this was a great collaboration and I do hope to see you all do more comics in the future. Great work!
