Wow, they are as excellent as this thread suggested!
Love the way they're drawn. A couple of the frames (if that's the right word) really remind me of something, maybe Asterix?
Children's comic strip dealing with death? Page 2
If you ever have trouble finding a neat punchline for the final frame, this site has some good suggestions: http://www.robertsinclair.net/comic/asshole.html

It's true
Will Cam: Thanks for the link! Long live Google.
Stylee TingTing: Thanks! I hadn't heard about "Waking life" before, but I checked it out now and it sounds like a movie that I would really like to see.
Kenneth: Haha, I'll keep that in mind! AI might use that page as Plan B... or C... or Z...
Lee and zooo: Thanks for your nice words too, I really appreciate them. I'm not shore that I see the resemblance with Asterix, but if it does exist that's just great. Asterix has been one of our favourite comics since we were just toddlers.
I think the strip is very good indeed. I would send samples of your work to various newspapers on the off chance that one of them thinks it will work in their publication.
Its good enough to bring you some success if you ask me

Ask him! Ask him!
They are very good indeed, good job lads.
Having slept on this, it really is as good as I thought it was last night.

My initial thought was compounded by your "giant-lying-down" which made me think of the "old-man-up-a-lamppost" in "Waking Life"..
...and there's a hint of "Last Action Hero" as well.
Good stuff lads.
Bob Hicks: Thanks! We consider doing so when we have translated a few more.
I really hope you are right about our chances.
Lee: I just did!
Nigel Kelly: Lovely to feel that we have support from Northern Ireland as well.
Stylee TingTing: Thanks again! "The last action hero" is a film that I've actually seen. I never thought of it as an source of inspiration in this case, but subconsiously maybe...?

I agree with Bob. Sunday papers could be a good fit - the tone is a bit reflective, which probably fits better to a weekend, maybe?
Love, LOVE it!
I really love your mind/s. Some excellent ideas there and the drawings are lovely. Brilliant stuff.
Badge: Sunday papers sounds like a very good idea to me. Since I'm not familiar with the newspapers in the UK, do you or anyone else have advice about where I could turn to begin with? To get an overview of different sunday papers, for example?
Charley: Thank you so much. We love that you love it.
Ottefox: That's probably one of the nicest compliments I have ever read (and since I'm the scriptwriter I gladly take all the credits for that part )
We have tried to create something that feels honest, but we can only hope that people will feel the same way as we do about Will and his world.
Hi again!
For the ones of you who enjoyed the samples of this comic, I'd like to mention that we've now translated another 25 strips and added them to our site today:
I hope you'll find something there to like. =)
Just found this. Really good stuff.
