So this is what I've been working on for the last 2 months. Sorry it's not animated. But I hope you enjoy it anyway.

Seriously, all those people I mentioned at the end of this (including you) made this possible. So if you like it, it's their fault.
Kinda promised I'd promote the guy who coded this swf file:

I got to say, I really love how you introduce the major concepts on how the world and the people work without directly spelling it out. It's a balance of description and imagery that's really hard to find.

Dood, please tell me that there will be more of this
Like, the songs, especially the main one
And all the designs for the characters 
And just basically everything is great and well-made
It'd be a shame to just drop this
(Which im sure you won't do *wink, nudge nudge,wink, nudge, wink wink, nudge*)

Wow dude.. just wow. I love the depth of this story! I wasn't sure if I would like the premise based on that promo video you posted a while back but this has exceeded what I thought it would be like. If you decide to continue it I wish the best of luck to you.


Edit: I was wondering if you could also compile the rest of this (soundtrack?) into a song. I really enjoyed the musical touches.

Logged in for the first time in forever just to comment on this. Absolutely amazing. I want more: of these characters, of this world, of these ideas. You are one of my favorite artists and writers. I get excited to see anything you create. Comedic or serious. You just speak concepts true to your heart. Keep going. You have a gift and you matter. Never forget that.

Oh wow, James. This is a whole new level of awesome! I definitely wouldn't object to more of this universe- it's *so* much more interesting than high school.

Plan on making any sequels? It would be interesting to see more of grounds and clouds and whatever other gifts there are in this world.

This was...really good! 

Really inventive world to set up. Grounds and Clouds, really cool direction you took here. It was all really fluid and fun and funny, particularly at those parts where you nudge the 4th wall. 

Again, great stuff! ...Will there be more of this?

It took two refreshes to read (one about faulty certificates and one just general not responding error), but this is looking great!

and I saw that cameo

... I hope you mean the white screen.
Just wait a little while, it takes about 5-10 minutes. If that doesn't work, refresh and wait again.

This was great! Thank you James and all those mentioned in the credits!

To James: if you ever feel like continuing with this world and/or storyline, know that you'll have at least one person waiting to read or watch it!

Also, after reading the comic, I really dig the song.

Hey mate..... I saw that you stopped reading comments and I sincerely hope that that is untrue,,, but none the less I will write this anyways in hopes that you will see it
Before anyone asks I have commented on this before, but it was like at 4 AM and I had NOOOO sleep whatsoever.... in fact I was working on my first animation ever not the best but its something.....
James I wanted to tell you that your work, no matter what it was, no matter how "unoriginal and bad" you think it is, it inspired me ALOT.... I never delved into animation, i thought it would have been too hard for me, especially because of my drawing style... but I didn't let that discourage me....  I didn't let something like my drawing style, or my past failures control me. James what I came here to say is simply thank you and I really hope you do read this, because I never want you to feel like your not loved by the community....

Now on to the actual comic ...
Soo the comic was good, LOVE the names for the different people (both the clouds, and grounds) and if you were going for originality, you struck it with this one, I'm seriously impressed and hope you will continue this series til the end (which is hopefully far off cause I dont want it to end...) but yes.. .AWESOME comic....  and I hope to see more awesome content from you in the future
