Little People Pt 70 - The Great Mother falls to Purity™

As she drew close to the armies of Purity™, the Purity™ Pope brought out his secret weapon! A cannon powered by captured animal spirits! Her mystical auras were no match for this foul weapon. With a single shot her mighty dragon form was felled. It pierced her heart, breaking the soul of the world...

02:57 / 05.01.07

Little People Pt 71 - The foundations of Sinistra

As the Great Mother fell her body turned to stone, all except her broken heart that continued to bleed. In a final act of deperation she reached out to her sister on the moon. But the Pope and his red priests had long since cast webs of impregnable magic into the dark clouds that followed the army. Her pleas were unheard and unanswered.

On her body the Pope laid the foundations for the capital of his empire - Sinistra. In her outstretch arm, he built his palace as endless insult to her memory...

04:41 / 05.01.07

Little People Pt 72 - Dark Triumph

The Pope had a special chamber built into his palace, directly beneath the Great Mother's still bleeding heart. Every morning he would bathe in her blood, and every evening before retiring. This stopped the aging of his three dimensional body, and restored it to full health. No other person was allowed in this room on pain of immediate execution. He knew the heart would not stop bleeding until the world ended, thus he now had all the time in the world to unlock the mystery of himself.

But the fear had grown to strong. It now spoke to him every night. Nolonger was he concerned with the mystery of how he came to be, he only cared for Purity™. The doctrines he constructed to enslave the world now enslaved him as well.

This was the end of the first crusade and the start of a dark spiral from which there seemed no end...

That picture is fucked up.
Well done!

08:31 / 05.01.07

A buff chipmunk pope bathing in the blood of a giant heart? What's wrong with that?

18:49 / 05.01.07

it's glorious and crushing my wee spirit at the same time. Great use of Archetypal elements!

now I'm going to go have a sit down and good cry.

Little People Pt 73 - The secret heart of the world

Mother Possum sighed, "The Deathnaughts appeared after the first crusade and world fell under the dark spell of Purity™. None could oppose these machines and their deadly might. Your mountain village was among the last vestiges of the world that was. If it had've fallen all light in the world would soon be gone."

"Oh Mother Possum! What can we do? If the Mother Goddess is gone can there be any hope?", cried Girl Little.

"Ahh young Girl Little, all is not as hopeless as it may appear. The Mother Goddess knew the danger of confronting the corrupted Lord Hampster, she knew he would use unholy magics against her. As such she knew success against him and his forces was in no way guaranteed. She even suspected he wished to crack the heart of the world to grant his temporal 3 dimensional form immortality. So, she entrusted me with the final hope of resistance if she should fall."

"What was it?", Girl Little quietly asked.

"She gave me the Secret Heart of the World. And I'm giving it to you Girl Little. The Mother Goddess said to wait for a sign. God would give a sign when it was time to be revealed. And that sign has been given. Your brother is that sign. God has granted us a boon against the madness of Purity™. Now is the time to unbind the world from darkness."

Mother Possum gently passed Girl Little the shining secret heart.

"What must I do?", Girl Little inquired

"You must go to the forbidden chamber within the Purity™ Palace that houses the broken heart of the Mother Goddess. Put the secret heart into the wound. This will wake the Mother Goddess from her unhappy slumber and heal the soul of the world."

"I will do it Mother Possum!" Girl Little exclaimed.

"Very good. Like Possum magic only a girl can do this. Tell no one you have the heart, not even your brother. The forces of Purity™ must never suspect it exists."

"It will be our secret Mother Possum!"

Mother Possum smiled. "I will now send you back to your village. Together you will be able to defeat the deathnaughts!"

In a flash of blinking possums Girl Little vanished from the long branch...

00:35 / 09.01.07

Gweeeee

08:48 / 09.01.07

There is hope yet! Avast, Girl Little, you can do it!

Should I point out that hamster doesn't have a P? Just so you know, and for future reference, and for the inevitable submission to a rich children's book publisher.

19:57 / 10.01.07

LOL! Thanks WP, my spelling is pretty crap at the best of times. It will all need a very thorough edit at some point. There's bad spelling, shocking grammar, mistakes etc littered through the whole thing. I did think Hamster had a P though, doh!

Whisky Priestess

21:46 / 10.01.07

Not to worry, LOADS of people do. It's one of those spelling blind spots. I just love the fact that he's really, really evil and sinister and scary. And a hamster.

I love the fact that his name is Lord Hampster. With a 'P'.

Don't lose the 'P'.

15:10 / 11.01.07

I agree! The p is the only endearing thing with this vile creature.

15:00 / 12.01.07

I thought the P was on purpose. Didn't get why - English spelling inside jokes are beyond me, mostly - but I assume there was a reason.

Aside from that, man! that was a succesion of severly fucked-up imagery up there. Needless to say I love it all, from the bottom of my ever bleeding heart

(the falling of the Earth-Dragon is my favourite. I could feel Her pain and the epic nature of the battle)

And I loved the design for the secret heart too. Go, Girl Little, go!

Little People Pt 74 - Heading back to the village

With a bright and shiny "vwoosh" Girl Little appeared back in the forest below her village. In the distance she could she her brother scurrying across the ancient bridge, while the Twins ran around the village in a blur. With the Secret Heart firmly hidden in a deep pocket she began up the mountain to the village...

23:16 / 14.02.07

Little People Pt 75 - The kids get ready to deliver the warning!

Kid Little, Girl Little and the Twins rush about the village to deliver the dread warning of the coming Deathnaughts! Happy cows seem to be gathering at the foot of the village much to Girl Little's surprise as she passes them on the ancient bridge. Happy cows don't normally venture so far up...

02:42 / 16.02.07

Little People Pt 76 - The kids get ready to deliver the warning!

As the Twins rush about to every house in the village, Kid Little and Girl little begin the task of telling everyone about the Deathnaughts. They get everyone to gather in the centre of the village so they can decide what to do next.

08:46 / 16.02.07

Rocket-moos! Yay!

08:51 / 16.02.07

Not, I think, yay. Not yay at all.

10:13 / 16.02.07

I'm saying that because I'm getting a dark sense of pre-attack forboding. The art is still fantastic.

13:32 / 16.02.07

How about Yay! for impending epic battle swathed in sparkly colors and velvety shapes? I'm yay-ing that.

13:34 / 16.02.07

I'm saying that because I'm getting a dark sense of pre-attack forboding.

Yes. I guess, the colour red will show up again pretty soon...

12:56 / 17.02.07

But it won't stay long...

03:15 / 22.02.07

Little People Pt 77 - The village gathers

23:52 / 06.03.07

Little People Pt 78 - Kid Little warns the village of the coming deathnaughts!

Kid Little tells the village what he learned from the animal spirits. The deathnaughts would soon be apon them, but the spirits had given him gifts to fight them with.

Cows wander among the little people, with a glint in their eyes...

18:25 / 08.03.07

I just wanted to say how impressed I am with your story and your method of telling it.

Of course, I'm incurably jealous of anyone with visual art skills. But really, that's impressive. Keep it up!

03:28 / 09.03.07

Little People Pt 79 - HOLY COW! IT'S SUPERMOO!!!

Suddenly all the gathering cows mooed in unison and began shooting flower cannons. Petal explosions filled the sky! With a sudden thunderclap SUPERMOO! appeared. All the little people gasped with joy, as SUPERMOO's arrival is always accompanied by increased happiness and contentment.

"Good little people, SUPERMOO is here to help you!"

11:50 / 09.03.07

I'm / this / close to weeping openly, with joy, right here in the office.

16:56 / 09.03.07

holy cows do that to me too.

03:13 / 10.03.07

You know, whether you put this in a book or not, you should be doing this proper web-comic style.

It's utterly beautiful, different from any other online comic I've read, story's got legs eight billion miles long and the merchandising possibilities are endless. *rubs fool's hands together for him*

23:45 / 13.03.07

You will, unfortunately, have to change Supermoo's logo the moment you start to make a penny of money off of this, however.

23:46 / 13.03.07

Also: iamus' post x2

16:24 / 15.03.07

wonderful. totally wonderful.

Holy flying cow!
