What is your favorite panel of Niklas and Friends? This isn't mine... I have to think about it... But it's up there! Post yours and explain why <3
Especially accompanied with this file from the old site.
Tricky question… there are SO MUCH good panels!
Here is one of my favorite panels… there are a number quite similar 😊
Why? Boy, it is SO good to hug someone we love…
Oooo, that is a good one! Martin cares so much about Keith. He cares about everybody, but especially Keith!
My favorite panel would be from... How to Become a Rockstar, Page 13
The first panel where we see Jason's reaction to Jonathon asking him if coming closer to him makes him bad or just a sissy, and Jason calls him wicked.
What I love about this panel is that it gives the impression of how attention starved Jonathon is. Normally Jonathon has to be loud and obnoxious for his family to pay attention to him but when he sees that Jason wants to hold him and show him real affection just for being him makes him act out in a different way. The way he sits on Jason's lap is a full on tease to test what kind of reaction he can get out of Jason.
The rest of the page goes further into that whole dynamic. But that one panel establishes that Jonathon is the kind of character who's not afraid to try something new and take the first step, or turn things up a notch just to see what happens.
Also, The look of shock on Jason's face like he must be dreaming that Jonathon is sitting in his lap makes the scene still feel kind of innocent.
Hi, my name is Niklas. I’m the one to the left with the blond hair and those goofy freckles. I’ll tell you in some cartoons and stories what happened after I told my best friends the truth. You should know, I love my friends, really! And guess what some of them, like Fabian and Jason, love me too! I always thought they’d say I’m weird, well, maybe we’re all weird.
