That's one hot pair of crura, sir!

I really want them to both belong to the same person. A cautionary tale of the hazards of always running counterclockwise around the track!

Yes, you there - with the two right legs, stop going in circles.

This is the first time I've noticed how much personality knees have. Granted, these are pretty extreme cases, but yeah.

Dude, totally ^_^

I can easily picture these knees out at a bar somewhere -- a teary tale of love won and lost. The story practically writes itself!

Oh noes, a knee only webcomic.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

But, plot, pacing, exposition, downlighting! How do i convey all this with just knees?

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I'm tempted to send you a picture of my knees. Just because.

(Reply to this) (Thread)

Do it. See what happens.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Here!



Edit: Yes those knees belong to the man in the icon. You've seen the pictures of me when I was fat?

I am reminded of a tree trunk on the one on the right.

Scribbly bark eucalyptus, neh?

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Yes! Eucalyptus scribblyensis! It must be related to the ashyleg bark eucalyptus, and the peeling skin eucalyptus (the most disgusting of all!).

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Being the myopic American I am, I don't know enough about eucalyptus trees to talk about them beyond stating how much I love Halls cough drops.

But my gut reaction was: birch.

See, if you were Californian, you could probably do it. Well, maybe. :)

Living in California, I can comment: eucalyptus are the botanical equivalent to devil spawn.

They are non native, fast growing, shallow rooting, invasive, messy pains in the ass with the sole saving grace that their oil reduces the prevalence of fleas in your yard. I live on a hill and the euc's on my property (before I bought it) took out one of my neighbors' cars, and the corner of the garage from another neighbor. I've removed six of them myself and paid to have three others taken out (one of which steadfastly returns if I don't go up on the hill and do something each year, must get around to truly killing that thing).

You know, the interesting thing, is the blue gums may not be as invasive as once thought. There's a rectangular grove of them that has been in existence for over 70 years and hasn't expanded beyond its borders (aerial maps show it clearly defined). However, they are horrendous trees for city planting, and are notorious branch droppers. For that reason alone, blue gums should be banned from urban areas. The mulch also takes forever to rot.

All gums are not created equal and a good many are well behaved (like the smaller ones). The best one I think for coastal California is the red flowering gum, which never gets huge, doesn't drop tree sized branches and is just cold sensitive enough as young seedlings to never go feral. They also look spectacular in bloom (well, the scarlet flowered ones do).

I have been loving the octopodes!!! and these knees are wonderful.

(Reply to this) (Thread)

The octo's are personal pinstripe fun, the knees are crazy client stuff that I actually enjoyed!

:^)

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Knees. Work, or pleasure??

...if it's the latter, have you ever paid attention to fat people's knees?? I swear they talk and have a life of their own!!!

(Reply to this) (Thread)

These are for work - but I found it highly (oddly) entertaining. I've never really listened to fat folk's knees but I sure they do have a story to tell...

That made me laugh and choke, it was so unexpected.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I know how much time I've put into looking at and drawing hands (much more than faces), but I haven't gotten into knees. Too busy coding and/or planning projects I guess. Hmmmm.
