Page 82 - End of Chapter 3

He really does hate them.

Pseudo-hiatus time! Chapter 4 will pick up in about a month. In the meantime, I have a few projects I hope to knockout listed in priority order:

1) The White Hearts Handbook (working title) - this should answer some of the more technical questions ya'll have been asking.

2) Rejigger the characters page and add several profiles

3) Make a t-shirt of two, maybe a poster

4) Rework some of those less than stellar pages from a few months ago (this kid's the darkhorse! if it's easy, I'll hit all of 'em, but it's not a priority)

*) Play the shoot out of Super Smash Brothers Brawl (this guy could be a real trouble-maker)

So check back every now and then, there will be news updates. And feel free to give us a vote, just for the heck of it.

Also, Death Note rules.

Page 81 - EMT

I pulled a bit of a boner on this one. Jerry should be saying "Weeooweeooweeoo" throughout the whole page so be a good lad and imagine that he is.

Page 80 - The Demon

Well I hope this settles the debate.

Page 79 - Awake Already?

You know, I decided a few months ago that I would streamline the page creation process so that it wouldn't be so time consuming. Then, two weeks ago, I started writing the dialogue by hand. That just doesn't make sense.

Anyways, good page. Every panel's got something interesting, IMHO.

Page 78 - The Grassman Switch

Get the old bifocals out, this is one of the text-heaviest pages in a while.

I like this page. I forgot to add dust in the sixth panel, but life goes on.

Page 77 - Aww

The first two panels on this new page suck rubber ducks. Poorly planned, poorly executed. If anything, I probably should have cropped them closer. I like the other three panels, though, especially numero quatro.

I apologize in advance to anyone who has trouble reading the handwritten dialogue.

Page 76 - Better Stuff than That

Forgive the lateness of this update, pals, those Geth aren't gonna kill themselves right?!

I don't love this page, but it gets the job done.

Page 75 - Showtime!

This page ain't too fancy, but it gets the job done. Any trouble reading the action in panel 2?

Voting will once again net you two full page sneak peeks. Next week and the week after that

Page 74 - Toasty

I think this page turned out decent enough. I'm a little concerned that the action in the second and fifth panels isn't clear. Let me hear it.

In other news, voting will get you not ONE but TWO full page sneak peeks. future 1 future 2

Page 73 - Sweet Moves

For a Guy who's running out of steam, McFly's still got some pretty nasty moves.

The giant robos are called Rooks. I like the way they look on this page, but don't be shocked if their design 'evolves' a bit over the next few pages.

Page 72 - A Whole Lot Easier

Now this is more like it.

The last panel is probably my favorite.

New Vote Incentives:

Vote for previews.

Page 71 - Just One

I kind of hate this new page, but I'm not really sure why. Oh well, on to the next one!

New Vote Incentives:

Vote for previews.

Page 70 -Foxfire

New page is up, playas. Flame on!

Page 69 - Owe Ya One

New page is up, lovers.

I can understand if you're not wild about the loose unpolished style. And I'm glad you're sticking around, if that's the case. But I gotta say, I'm diggin' it.

Page 68 - Epic Slam

The new page is sort of in color and sort of not.

This update makes the voting incentives more of a "behind the scenes" than a "sneak preview". But go vote anyway, because you love me so much.

Oh and I also added a wallpapers section to the extras page. There's 5 in there now. I didn't put too much thought into the sizes so if you've got a somewhat standard resolution you would like, let me know.

Page 67 - Goin Old School

New page went up last night, kids, in case you didn't notice. Sorry, it's another black and whiter.

Page 66 - Exceptions

A Wednesday update?! IN BLACK & WHITE???!!!!!! Explanation to follow...

...like, right now. Expect the next few pages to be black and white. I'm trying some new things, spicing it up, if you will. I'm hoping this method will enable me to crank out more updates. Maybe even make 2 updates a week a reality (but don't hold me to that). In any case, it should make the one update a week a little more consistent.

Feel free to let me know how you feel about it - love, hate, indifference. All feedback is welcome.

Page 65 - A Glimmer of Hope

The title doesn't really have anything to do with the comic. I'm posting this after sitting in gridlock for 6 hours. When they finally started clearing the accident that caused it, the news said that there was "a glimmer of hope" in that there were now some tow trucks on the scene. I plan to use "A Glimmer of Hope" as the title for the novel I'll eventually write about my traffic ordeal, but for now it's a comic about a green fox, a blue dude and a giant rolling robo.

In case you were wondering, I was on my way home from an Of Montreal concert. Worth the 6 hour ride home? Not quite. But still pretty danged awesome.

New Vote Incentive:

Didn't get to it yet. Vote for me anyway. Over there. In the right column. Where it says VOTE.

Page 64 - Bad Time to Reload

Pulled a bit of a marathon for this page tonight and it's almost done. I should be able to get it done tomorrow, but just in case I can't, here's a little taste to fight off the hunger:



Update:
It lives.

Not so New Vote Incentive:
Didn't really have time to get a new incentive together this week, but that doesn't mean you can't still excercise your democratic rights! Lord Cyrule and Lord Ruber are still available for your voting pleasure.

Page 63 - I Spy

I really like the last panel on this one.

Vote Incentive:

Remember to vote kids, it revs my engines. This week it'll get you previews for next week.

Page 62 - Bri?

How is Ralph moving so well with one leg? That's sort of answered this week.

Have you kids played through the Banana Fran adventure, Gas it Up, yet? If so, you may have encountered a couple interesting characters. By voting this week, you can get a peek at two of them: The old man and the froggy little green guy.

Page 61 - Resilient Mofo

That's three weeks in a row, kids. How long can I keep it up?!

New Vote Incentives: Previews for next week, clickety click.

Page 60 - Dynamic Entry

New page is up, ladies and germs.

Also, give us a vote and check out some sneaky peekies of next week's update.

Page 59 - Psyche!

New comic is up. Can't say I'm wild about how it turned out but hey, they can't all be perfect.

There's some new voting incentives up too. Bingo. Bango.

Page 58 - Cowardly Tactics

It's been a long time comin'. I made it nice and green, just the way you like it.

Joe Slow over here

The page still has a ways to go but I AM working on it, SEE:

Heads Up

I'm sure some of you noticed I missed this week's update - not that me missing updates is any kind of ground-breaking news. A page is in the works, I'm just not sure when it'll be ready. Most of my time has been going towards top secret projects.

SO there will be an update eventually.

OH YEAH. And my web-host, comicgenesis.com has been having some problems lately. Either the site is down, or the update system gets screwed. So even if I do finish a page, it might not go up for a while.

Page 57 - Showing Respect

5 days late... 2 days early... WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?!

Page 56 - The Fellas

Holy mackerels, an update on Friday?! And all I had to do was skip a week.

Update update

In case you kids were worried, I haven't forgotten you. I've been pretty busy putting together a glossary section, but it'll be some time before it's ready to launch. So I'm taking a break from that to put a page together. Making ok progress...

so yeah, still a little ways off.

Page 55 - Fudd.

In case you didn't know "some time tomorrow" is code for "Tuesday at 1 in the morning".

Feast.

Fear not, my babies

I haven't forgotten you:


It will be finished some time tomorrow.

Page 54 - Don't Trip

Whoa mommas, an update!

I tried a different technique for coloring this page. I like the results.

So close and yet so far

Almost there...but now I have to head to Florida for 3 days for a conference. Here's a little taste to wet your beaks:


Sorry, loves. I should be able to wrap it up quick when I get back.

The Weekly Delay Announcement

Two concerts this week have thrown the schedule as off as ever (Peter Bjorn and John was rad to the max - I'm expecting the same from the Arcade Fire). But worry not, my children. I am hard at work on a FRIDAY NIGHT and may have something to show you come Sunday...possibly...maybe...somewhat likely.

Page 53 - Good as new.

This ol' boy went up yesterday/early this morning.

Eat it up.

Some delays

As usual right?!


My schedule got a bit thrown off this week, BUT I'VE GOT AN EXCUSE:



I was in the hospital the other night for a mangled ear canal. It hurt like a motherfucker and there was blood and all that good stuff, but it's feeling better now. I thought you guys might get treated to an Oxycodone influenced page, but I just ended up sleeping my life away. An update on Sunday isn't impossible, but you know me, I'm a stinker.


As always, thanks for staying tuned.

Page 52 - Squirt Step Hop

Here it is, as promised.

That was my longest hiatus in a while. I'm this close to firing my ass.

Update on Saturday

For realsies.

I'm just about done, but it needs shading, effects and some fine tuning. I've got a wedding tomorrow and had rehearsal dinner tonight. I'll be hungover fo sho' but that shit'll get got daggnabbit!

Here's a little taste for all those lovely muthas who keep checking in.

Page 51 - Gross.

Sorry, kids, no update this week.








April Fools! Wow did I get you or what!

For those keeping track, this comic is for last week. I plan to have one done by the end of this week too, but it might not go up until Sunday again.

Page 50 - Deadbeat

Phew, took long enough. Enjoy the sabbath with some of McFly's patented bastard antics.

Page 49 - Insurance

Sorry kids, running a little late this week. Expect an update on Saturday.

a few days later:

BAM. I know, I know, it's a bit late. But before you jump all up on me, bear in mind that I spent all day Saturday on this page (and by all day I mean 18 straight hours) and sacrificed my beloved Saturday night booze.

Precious Pig Saves Valentine's Day!

Sorry kids, no comic update this week. Instead, I give you this belated Valentine's gift...or maybe it's just really really early.

Heads up, that link will take you to Newgrounds.

Page 48 - Chapter 3: Healthcare

Chapter 3 begins!

(This actually went up on Friday, my apologies)

Page 47 - The End of Chapter 2

Chapter 2 is over!

Don't worry, that's not the only update this week. Chapter 3 begins on Friday.

In case you were wondering: that pile in the background is Earl, not Ralph.

Page 46 - Oh Snap!

Oh no he didn't! That Ralph's sure got a lot of tricks up his sleeve.

I'm surprised I actually got this done today, I've been quite the busy boy.

Page 45: Smak! Attack

I still have some coloring to do on the latest page. It should be up some time later today (Friday). If not, it'll definitely be up sometime Saturday.

EDIT: Told ya so! You may have noticed that I play around with the way I color and draw lines a bit...or maybe you didn't. In any case, comments are welcome.

Page 44: Rubber Blubber

Some tricky images here. I hope you kids can follow the action.

EDIT: Hmmm, that last panel is pretty confusing, I think I might try to fix it up a bit. What say you, heroes?

EDIT EDIT: I changed it. You can see the old page by voting at TWC.

I wonder how many people think the fat guy is popping a boner in the first panel.

Page 43: The Green Machine

He's back and he's ready to party.

Page 42: Needle

No time for spittin' blood, Eugene. That fat guy's got some nasty toys.

Page 41: Slice!

Long time no see.

The last panel of this page is a depiction of Eugene performing a Bodie. Confused? You best check out The Wire, young.
