BFF’s
… which stands for B.est F.owl and F.eline, perhaps?
This is semi-dated news for those of you who follow on Facebook and Twitter, but I learned earlier this week that One Swoop Fell was honored with the 2008 Beaky Award for Best New Webcomic on the Webcomic Beacon, along with two other stand-out winners (Sandra and Woo, and Whubble).
You can click this link to learn more details about the Awards. There’s also a podcast where the judges discuss their top picks. My favorite description of OSF was when Mark described the artwork as “incredibly stupidly well drawn”. That’s a first for me! Thanks guys.

This is probably the most I’ve laughed this week. This is Topo and Swoop at their finest! The expressions were priceless too. Thank you for another incredible update!

Ha ! I can’t wait to see what will happen next time ! I really do ! ^^
That’s really a good mix of fun and thrill in this one, specially when Mari came in the scene !
Great job, Mike !

I can’t quite put my finger on it, but there’s a very nice thing happening here with the panel composition and geometry which makes this page stand out more than the other recent ones have. Doing something new Mike that I’m not catching, or what?
Also, congratulations on the award!

Shane, I’m not really sure what it is. Could be the value/tonal structure. It definitely has that pulp kids comic feel to it versus some of my more experimental panel layouts. It could also be that I’m really excited that we’re about to leave the bookstore and see some new locations.
Julien, I can’t wait either! (I’m not entirely sure what’s gonna happen!).
Jhonz, I had a lot of fun with this one. When one of my own panels makes me laugh, I feel a small sense of victory. Panel 6 was that moment for me. Glad this page made you laugh too.

I love the cat’s expression in the fourth panel. He looks so offended! It’s kind of cute. :p
