House Rules - Queen of the Hill

Caigan asked if I'd post this, so here it is:

I always love Ozy's philosophies.

Another nice coloring job. Though I can't help but wonder if panel 3 would look better with a background colored more to look like water.

...and the Queen is stuck all alone on her hill

[IceDragon]

Day after day,
Alone on the hill,
The man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still,
But nobody wants to know him,
They can see that he's just a fool,
And he never gives an answer,
But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning 'round.

Well on his way head in a cloud,
The man of a thousand voices is talking perfectly loud
But nobody ever hears him,
Or the sound he appears to make,
And he never seems to notice,
But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning 'round.

And nobody seems to like him
They can tell what he wants to do.
And he never shows his feelings,
But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning 'round.

woah ooh,
Round and round and round.

He never listens to them,
He knows that they're the fool
They don't like him,
The fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning 'round.

Y'know what, you're right. But more than that, it would look good with a low-quality photobackground of a stream or something. I believe O&M Sunday strips used that sort of thing a couple times. It's just that I worry about deviating too far from the feel of the original or, failing that, something that D.C. herself would have done.

I'm always right (j/k ). I know what you're talking about in regards to the Sunday strips. That would certainly add a nice effect. But you're right, being that you're coloring someone else's work, you are quite limited as to how creative you can get. Even so, I think that kind of stuff is better left to Sunday type strips anyway, because adding too much detail to a three or four panel comic can make it too crowded.

Very nice coloring.
