Whistles Appreciation Thread

whistles was awesome, some of hussie’s best work. my favorite part is how the circus clowns are an allegory for racehorses.

i love whistles the clown. hussie's regular art style is so deranged surreal and twisty that its a shame they haven't done a lot else with it.

youve made me wanna reread it now -v-

love whistles i gotta reread it, i really like that gumblin is sort of a proto dirk strider. i feel like elements of dirk sort of show up in andrew's older work a lot until he is inevitably created.

Hell yeah! Whistles! God, I wish we could see Hussie returning to that style once in a while.

i just read some of whistles the other day! really loved the art style in particular, god i think hussie's art style is so cool.

whistles fans rise up

shows off my sick loot:

woah @Vibri sick loot!!

where'd you get it signed?

general question for the thread. do any commentaries or interviews exist from huss exist for whistles the clown?

i havent seen hussie themselves talk extensively about her work on it ( which is a shame since it is a wonderful universe and id love to hear about how hussie feels about it )

we have got to create a whistles fandom space!!!!

Whistles is probs my fav non-homestuck thing of Hussie's. Well, at the very least pre-Homestuck, cause Psycholonials

I feel like Whistles shows some of the raw building blocks under a lot of hussies work. Like disturbing clowns and questioning society's rules has been an undercurrent in everything he has done. If anyone has a deep dive analysis of it I would love to see it.

i haven't read whistles in a while but that one panel with that big ass crater-like impact is always in my mind after a couple of years, like look at this shit it's a beautiful panel

ahhh whistles I love you so

I really wish we could see more of Hussie drawing in this style. I think its so cool and its kinda one of my main inspirations for my art as well
