Hey, Dan, below the strip on the left are some links to the archives. Click on "Current Week" to see where you are.

Further site oddity: for me, the main page is stuck at Dee being swept up by the kite. In the archives, I get to Our Heroes gazing into the window of a candy shop, then the next page is the Dee vs. Rock physics strip[*]. I've tried the shift-reload trick several times... help?

[*] which I liked, BTW -- no problems with the narrator voice here, it reminded me nicely of that old educational TV show "Eureka!" except cuter.

Odd that Little Dee never talks and Bruno, whom she physically resembles, does almost nothing else. Are you working through something here, Chris, and not just in the whole flying motif?

I'm still loving "Little Dee" and I think you have a syndicable winner (more bushido for Tatsuya Ishida.) The Little Dee up-in-the-air thing is getting a little monotonous, though. Are you trying to work through something? I see others have commented on this also, so I hope I'm not being too critical. I love the characters. Just the shape of them is great. That bear. Love it. He needs a computer, though. How else would a bear in a cave order a suit of clothes and an Oriental vase? And a cupboard. Where was that cupboard, anyway? Had they gone all the way back to the cave? It looked like they were still in the woods. Sort of a lion, witch, and wardrobe thing going there, furniture in the middle of the woods. I used to live on the Delaware River, and I propped up a wooden door on the beach with nothing else around it and just let the canoing tourists wonder about it. Do something crazy, that's my advice. Keeps you sane.

I *love* Little Dee. It's "Calvin and Hobbes"-esque without being as cynical. The hair one yesterday KILLED me - I and several friends have pretty kinky hair. I've sent the link around to a few friends who have laughed a LOT.

If the syndicates don't pick it up...I kind of hope you'll keep doing it online anyhow. I know "Bruno" is a lot of work, and I'm completely hooked on her too...but "Dee" is so sweet and charming.

Dee does do a lot of flying through the air. Maybe they should get her some padding.

"I'm sad that I'm flying."

I should really turn my ad-blocking stuff off so I can see these adverts for FROGS.

I just like to point out that the ad server finally clued on to what weīre actually talking about - the ads that greeted me this morning were for rare comics and a comic printing service.

On topic - I loved the hair strip. I still donīt think Little Dee is a strip with a very strong pull on me - I wouldnīt follow it as a webcomic, at least not regularly - but itīs more or less guarunteed to make me a little bit happier every time I see it. Which, in a newspaper comic, is more or less the highest aim IMO.

Little Dee is cute, funny, and really well done. Bravo, Chris. While I really liked Shep, Dee is a winner. Her perpetual enthusiasm and the bear's worry make a great contrast. The "hair" strip gave me a much needed grin tonight. Thanks.

Dee is just the cutest thing...like a human kitten I guess. I didn't mind her falling -- I just knew nothing bad would happen to her.

Hmm, the Googlebot hasn't picked up on the vegetable references yet. But I bet references to FROGS will do it.
FROGS FROGS FROGS! Ribit!

Hee hee hee.. cool.

Oh.. FROGS.

I think it's funny that the google ads -- right now for Christian bible books, Lovelin's raku sculptures & Celine Dion -- are responding (I think) all the people who are saying "I LOVE Little Dee"!

Actually, I find it rather hard to imagine the "affect" the fall might have had on Little Dee; on the other hand, I can certainly imagine the _effect_ it might have had on her...

Sorry to nitpick, but this particular spelling confusion happens to drive me up the wall - and I'm pretty lenient compared with most of the editors I know.

On the other hand, I really enjoyed Monday's strip - not only did I not have any problems with the narrator's voice, I also found the tone a welcome counterpoint to the (mostly) sweet storylines thus far.

I'm really enjoying Little Dee and what I like about her is her lack of fear. Quite a change from Bruno who has to consider everything carefully.

Little Dee falls from the sky and says "Wheeee!" I love it.

I came to Bruno at the suggestion of a friend, and frankly the others he's suggested as well as Chris's links just don't do it for me as Bruno does. It's a substance thing. As someone said here, Chris has a way of making a reader care about the primary character.

Even though I really enjoy ANIME, I haven't really liked many of the WEB COMICS I've seen.

on a different note, it would appear that all our attempts at feeding the ad-picker have made it go off its GOURD. i mean, come on. love spells?? i'm just looking forward to having the primary picks be fan sites for our favorite MELON-headed toddler. (who hopefully isn't in for a big SQUASH.)

I just realised that it's almost september, which means (carrot).. no more little Dee! Which I suppose is a testament to how much I've grown to like the strip in Bruno's absence. I do quite enjoy bruno, but I really like the (tomato) child-like quality and the humour of these strips. Brocoli. Congrats, Chris. It's a good strip. And do let me know if you get it syndicated - I will definitely want my newspaper running it! Potato!

:-)

I guess this shows how much of space cadet I am... ;) I did think that there was something slightly different about the strip today, but I didn't realize what it was 'till I came here & read the postings about it!!

That said, I don't think it really "bothered" me, the narration didn't.. I can't quite come up in words what the feeling(s) I had when I read it today, just that there was some sort of odd emotion evoked in me from the narrator's seemingly indifference (objectivity?) to Dee's plight. (I hope that made some kind of sense!)

Or it could just be a bunch of over-cooked CABBAGE...
