   Everybody is the hero in their own mind.

   Is the “White Spell” the gender swap one, or something else? The search box doesn’t seem to be much help.

   @Larathiel – Yes, the spell she is referring to is this one: http://www.exiern.com/2005/10/04/mistakes-were-made/

   Thanks Scott! Man, I can’t believe it’s been almost 13 years, that’s a long-running campaign! 😀

   Sometimes the only way to be a hero is not to be yourself. I know that tv says to always “be yourself” as if it is a good thing, but some people’s selves are bloody awful people. Some of the best heroes were bloody awful examples of human beings but became heroic by not being their selves and by forcing themself to be a different, better, person.

   The layout could use some work. I feel like the page is trying to get too much done in too few frames, and the text is trying to pick up the slack.

   @Slugfiller – that’s probably on me and how I do my dialogue. Antipus gets a script with the general idea of what I plan to have them say, and then after I get the page back I write the dialogue to match what I feel is going on in the emotion of the finished art. So I could probably better balance that.

   Ahem. Well technically, brontotheres are actually mammals of the ungulate family. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brontotheriidae

   Now! Neigh! No!
   Interesting use of alliteration there.

    @ScottHicken Usually in writer/artist duo (in so far as “behind the scenes” were shown), the writer makes a stick-figure sketch of the page, which the artist flushes out to a fully drawn page. I’m honestly not sure this text could be crammed into 4 panels. The “Now”, for instance, would probably belong in its own panel featuring just a head, as would the “Neigh” featuring the ramming.

    Assuming these panels as a given, “Now” probably belonged in the 3rd panel, the prior 3 lines in the 2nd, and the 2nd’s lines in the 1st. Although that would be a LOT of lines to cram into the first panel.

    @O.B. Juan – that WAS the creature I originally proposed. Shipeng embellished it so much I feel it is more dino than mammal now. I dubbed it brontodon in an earlier page. But you did nail the original idea right on the head.

    SlugFiller: you are attempting to, what? ‘Fix the flow’ of the page by cramming the panels even more? o_O

    O.B. Juan: just because Lizard-arze called it a dino doesn’t mean that it is a dino (unless that comment was directed at Lizard-arze and not Scott)

    Yeah, always felt there was something ‘off’ regarding the Denver the Last Dinosaur…

    Lizard is most likely out of her mind. Not that she was exactly stable before.

    …I wonder why she wants Denver dead?
