Last time: The Doge told Tozo his time was up.
A rather unlikely cavalry may just have arrived for Tozo…
There’s just over one full week left to answer my reader’s survey. It takes seconds to complete! There’s a prize in it for someone – see here for details.
Also, I appear to have had a mention on the io9 sci-fi blog – hello, if you’re a new visitor! *website creaks dangerously*





Came form io9, an I got to say I’m impressed. Though foaming at the mouth for more.
Also came from io9
and I’ve already caught up. A Tintin fan who is appreciating your homage, but a delightful story all your own. I applaud you. Count me in as a new reader
I’m from io9 as well, love the strip. I’m a huge Tintin and Moebius fan myself. Well done!
Another io9 person. This is FANTASTIC! In addition to the Herge influence, I’m reminded of an old comic in Heavy Metal magazine as well (though I cannot recall its title or author).
Holy cow, I’ve never been so glad to see Smiles in my whole life! That is BRILLIANT!
And welcome to all the new readers!
Welcome everyone – and thanks for the comments!
@Nicole – smiles is a bit of a bad penny, at least where the Doge is concerned!
Nice write-up from io9. Congrats! About time they realized how great “Tozo” is!
I foresee a plug from MTV in the not-too-distant future as well!
Saved by Smiles! Nicely done!
I personally would find that a little hard to take. For the first few seconds, anyway. Crow doesn’t taste nearly as bad as the end of a few hundred meters at terminal velocity…
@Sean: Thanks! And credit to you for helping along the way.
@wright1: I wouldn’t put it past the Doge to get rid of a few annoying people in one go!
Came from io9, and read it front to back
Very nice work!
Thanks Tim!
just came from i09 as well. A HUGE tintin fan…. I love Tozo! Have just caught up…. and waiting for more! well done!!
Hey thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
Just found your comic (not from io9, but another blog). Read the whole thing – really great!
Hey – thanks, Austin. Welcome!
Just found Tozo via io9 and wanted to let you know that I think your work thus far is fantastic!
Love the art style, and the story, characters and setting are intriguing and nuanced.
All I can say is… *more*!
Thanks Brendan – very much appreciated!
Incredible and gripping work. Read it through during lunch at work! (ok…a slightly extended lunch).
Great artwork and story telling. I dont know how I’m gonna live with a new piece once a wk tho!
Thanks Kam – I’d like to do more than one strip a week but there’s not the time unfortunately.
