Where’s the new page? ‘Fraid so, but your regularly scheduled installment of 1 Way Ticket this week has been delayed. Dan’s been burning the midnight oil as of late, and a last-minute paid gig came up that he couldn’t say no to. With our humblest apologies, we offer a sketch by Dan and some interesting tidbits on the comic.

There’s a meme going around with people listing their favorite webcomics, and our own 1 Way Ticket had been lucky enough to land on two lists from discerning comiclovers.

Cartoonist Dean Trippe (Butterfly) says:

I met Chris through the magic of the Newsarama boards and we’ve been pals ever since. I think his writing is dead-on, and is here complemented by Daniel’s expressive/fun drawing style and WICKED colors.

Adam Cadwell says:

I love the artwork on this comic by Daniel Warner. There’s only one word I can think of to describe it; fluid. Everything about it flows and fits perfectly, the swift linework, the offbeat compositions, the colour choices, the character design, everything. Even when its jagged and spiky its because it should be, there’s plenty of ingenious touches but they never dominate your attention. The pages where Sully leaps on stage with his new magical guitar and wows the audience are purely stunning and stand strong on their own. Warner’s device of how to represent singing and music is genius and I’m sure will be imitated by many. All of which can distract from the subtle pacing and mood creating by Arrant’s writing.

Thanks guys! And thank you for being patient with us — look forward to a new page in the 1 Way Ticket saga next Wednesday.
