Maybe I should think of a rating system for the strips.

Hahahah j’arrête pas de toutes les lire et cela j’aime beacoup mouhahah !
I am SO glad it’s all French to me.
My walnut-brain can only digest so much.
Well, like I said before…
You rate your pages and have people put their age. If not old enough, they will simply skip certain strips or have alternative drawings depending on their age.
8 or less : something nice, cute and harmless
9-12 : something nice, funny and mostly harmless
13-15 : something ever so slightly fan service which is somewhat harmless
16-17 : something ecchi/not harmless/not too violent or alternative
18+ : Faaaar out there.
And this for every possible strip that could have this applied to :P
And have a 30+ seeing as I’m turning 30 very soon ;)
So she knows how to shibari, I’m impressed!
One of her many secret skills.
I wonder if this will work.
I’m impressed that she had a gag that matches.
Aaaah. Fond memories.
Calvinsse, Maxime.
Je suis avertis lorsque quelqu’un comment sur cette image. ;)
Wow, that was an ineffective retreat.
…at what point does this enter the realm of harassment? She seems to have internalized those doujins to an alarming degree…
I kinda regret doing this comic to be honest. XD
Maybe the next time they try shibari, Clementine won’t be as scared of the concept.
I think I will use Marie-Neige as icon if it is permitted once I figure hoe to. Can I?
It is permitted. You go to Gravatar.com, it’s easy.
hahahah that’s a big surprise xD
Oshi! =D
Nice to have you here.
She can’t have been all that reluctant or it wouldn’t have got that far.
Still… nothing particularly age-restrictive about ropes.
This.
There is no kink quite like innocent kink.
Unawakened fetishes are oh so fun to encourage into full bloom.
… O’course every time I’ve tried to convince people of the inherent superiority of glasses, I usually just come across as an obsessive fanatic (technically true) and creep them out. =(
Good thing I’d be preaching to the choir around here. <3
Wow, that was an unexpected turn.
Aaaah
I’m reading the archive for the first time and this is where I’ll stop for the moment…
Explicit consent is so important >>;
Yeah, that comic kinds sucks. Sorry.
Oh dear are you okay?
I’ve been too busy to keep reading the comic so far, but I really mean to get back to it one day because I like the cute, colourful art style and the cast and especially the fact that there are so many girls!
This one page may contain something undeniably problematic, but you seem to be well aware of it by now, and most of us have done such things without thinking it through or really meaning harm, before we knew better (*stares into distance at own teenage years*)
I can enjoy a piece of writing/art/media for its qualities while disagreeing with certain other parts of it. (Unless I’m taken by surprise on a day when I couldn’t deal with it. >_>;;; )
So yeah, please don’t feel bad about this and keep going and bringing your characters to life! <3
(hope you're still getting notified when there's a comment on this page)
Yeah, I always get notices.
And yeah, I’m okay. I’m not that proud of that comic, even though I thought it was hilarious when I wrote it 4 years ago. Crazy how things changed since then.
Especially since it goes against a lot of things I’ve been trying to build with this comic.
But yeah, sometimes, I wonder if I should redo the whole thing, although I really can’t because Clementine addresses it later in the comic.
I was just afraid I had hurt you in some ways and wanted to know. Thank you for your consideration.
I hope you read the rest. I learned a lot since then.
Thank you also for being so in touch with your audience, even about such old comics.
My first comment could really have been worded better, sorry, and I should probably have waited a bit before posting.
I nearly finished Chapter 2 some time ago and like all the characters introduced so far. I prefer to go on a full archive binge when possible, though, so as to appreciate the full storyline.
Trying to think of an easy way to redo this page.
The punchline relies on how suddenly we see Clementine in her predicament, so if you added a part when they discuss it beforehand, that would slow everything down.
You could have Clementine saying something afterwards, like, “why did I agree to this”, which makes it clear that it was discussed between them beforehand. Marie-Neige could also say something that implies she gave Clementine some explanation before they started. But it adds another page.
The simplest fix I can think of is: Clementine yelling out a safeword in the last panel, stopping Marie-Neige mid-rope art. That would make it seem at least a bit safer. Bonus points if the safeword is funny in itself. But that’s just an idea ^.^; Oops, sorry for the long ramble.
My audience is small, I really strive to keep what I have.
And I dunno. I thought it was pretty obvious some sort of consent had been established for Clementine to end up so perfectly tied up like that. Clem is much bigger than Marie for starters, and probably perfectly able to fight her off if she was against it.
Nothing actually happened other than that, I address that in chapter 3.
Anyway, I would do the whole thing quite differently now if I was to restart Frivo from scratch. T_T
Someone needs to explain that to politicians.
A political philosopher by the name of John Locke came up with the idea of “Tacit Consent”. It is every bit as horrifying as it sounds… yet oddly enough most people don’t seem to even think about it when it comes to politics.
Clementine’s probably asking herself how she got roped into this so easily. ^_^
Okay, allow me to demonstrate just how fast I can run and how completely I can avoid eye contact with you in the future
