That has to be THE BEST story of the portal ever.
I absoletely loved this piece of yours. It has to be the very best NG reference in the world.
If you have no idea of the backstory of NG its still lovely with its whimisical style, pleasing art, and good music choice. Understanding NG however, we can see that little Tom planted the portal one day which grew to be a magnificent place but it held some unpleasant surprises! Poorly concieved flash submissions, flame wars, and more - it almost killed poor Tom until our saviour, Strawberry came to save Tom and his portal. He showed him the magic of the internet but sadly had to go away to make the portal a better place.
I sure hope I didn't get that entierly wrong :P Regardless, this was a wonderful masterpiece. I loved every second of it. :D
