616 | It’s Never You

January 6, 2013 | 8:19 pm, by Pascalle Lepas

<3

“So give me hope in the darkness that I will see the light,
‘Cause, oh, they gave me such a fright.
Then I will hold on with all of my might.
Just promise me we’ll be all right.”

update: Posted the last panel full-size, by request! :)

    <3 Oh Zap, you're so adorable <3

  • Muffinette

    Hugging is good too!

  • Woah. Zap looks so different!

  • It’s good for you. Literally. Science says so. It releases endorphin in your brain to make you feel better. So get as many hugs as you can!

  • ZAP HAS A NOSE!

    *Kermit flails*

  • Josh Hicken

    The feels!!! That last panel makes me so HAPPY!!!

  • Eeeee! <3<3<3<3

  • safyrejet

    Reona, girl. Hug. Him. Back. Don’t spoil the “awww” moment. Gunner will probably be doing that later.

  • Finally :D now they need to kiss :) <3

  • Muffinette

    Was going to comment on that! Took me a moment to figure out what was different, but there was flailing when I did!

  • oh! this made my day :)

  • He’s always had a nose! And the BIGGEST nose at that! When everyone else had dots for noses Zap’s went all the way across his face.

  • Zap let her talk, she misses you too

  • ABOUT
    DAMN
    TIME.

    That is all.

  • I meant artistically defined. I gotta say, as someone who sketches erratically, you’ve improved over the years. And it’s been a pleasure to watch you as you do.

    :) {BIG GRIN!!} This is sweet! {But I thought Renoa, was a little more busty that that.. :)}

  • ABOUT TIME!!!!

  • Decoluvj

    Wooooooo!!!!

  • Doctor Zuber

    all that fear, all that doubt, all that comedic potential, and you resolve it right away with “I can touch you?” Where’s the fun in that?

  • Doctor Zuber

    Always had a nose? Yes. And from what I can see his nose hasn’t changed dramatically in recent years.

    But he clearly has not always had the same nose.

    So I don’t get the current obsession over his nose, but I do agree with one thing. Your art has improved over the years. Nice work.

  • Skip to the first time I drew Reona in the comic, and her teeny nose: http://www.zapcomic.com/2003/07/20030725/

    Zap’s nose is still twice as big! He was always supposed to have kind of a big nose.

    I don’t know why a lot of people read the stylization I used later as “no nose” but it is apparently a common enough thing that it gets brought up from time to time.

    Zap!, bringing you awkward yet sincere hugs since 2004!

    Seriously though, I <3 this page and can't wait to see more. : )

  • Haha, yes!! I love you for pointing this out. :)

  • OHHHH he’s so cute! But he’s been a good guy all along, hasn’t he? Such a sweetie. Hehe.

  • No, zap really never had a nose except from the side. Before now, the artist (who I assume had difficulty figuring out what a rather wide nose would look like) just drew vague lines across his face in suggestion of a nose and hoped none of us would notice. We did, but I’m glad he finally has a nose. He looks so cute! <3

  • I HAVE A REQUEST

    Larger version of that last panel with no speech bubble, please! Me wants for desktop pattern (I am sure others will agree with me here!)

  • Uh, hi, I’m the artist, and I just said he had a nose?

  • *squeee*

  • : )

  • Will do! Check back later tonight for it.

    Zap’s nose has always looked like a nose. it’s just that Pascalle’s art style evolved over time, and with it the noses. It isn’t just Zap’s nose either, all the noses changed over time. Zap’s nose is just so noticeable because it’s so big.

    Also…I’ve typed nose to many times and know the word looks weird :(

  • This page is supposed to be about hugs and all we are talking about is noses!!! T__T

  • Wowey

    So. I know it’s been years for Zaplings to see this, but it’s been so long, I haven’t kept in-universe time in check – how long has it been in-universe since the last time Zap and Reona got a chance to hug? Because it is long overdue.

  • Leafbarrett

    I think it’s more how much more defined it is than usual. That said, I can almost see this “he has a nose” thing becoming an inside joke/meme.

    AHHHHH! YAY! :D

  • ThisReader

    D’awww! Warm fuzzies. ^w^

  • 507kittehs

    aaaaugh! all the feels…

  • Save some of those feels. The next few pages are SO GOOD.

  • Dood, it’s just one second, or just as fast. Not everyone can react that fast to a hug. Give her a page! Yeesh!

  • safyrejet

    Dude. chill… I’m loving what’s happening in the comic and I’m projecting my hopes, thoughts, and reactions to the awesomeness. I don’t literally expect Reona to hug him back in this very panel.

  • prplmkyfr

    Okay, okay, I know I’m late in commenting… I kid you not, every time I came here intending to comment I got so overwhelmed by the feels that I just sit there mesmerized until I have to get off… so now, I tear myself away to say, “EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

    And also: There’s the bear hug I wanted!
    Also also: I can’t wait till tomorrowwwww :D

  • Aura

    Beautiful page!

  • Awesome development.

    o/` Let’s rub noses like the Eskimo-ses… o/`

    Yeah, actually, I was thinking the same thing about the noses, though it took me a minute to figure out what was different. Well almost. For me it’s not that Zap suddenly has a nose, it’s more like, he (and Reona) actually have nostrils now, as I supposed the other human characters would if I went back to check and compare. Reona’s nose is more rounded than before and Zap has ‘smile lines’. You know, those ‘parenthesis’ you get around your mouth whenever you open or smile wide. Not everyone gets them, and yet Zap’s are very pronounced. All of the art is constantly moving towards a more realistic spectrum. It’s just awesome to see your art skills change and grow so much!
