The NP member comic discussion thread!

[Red Mage Black]

GHLK!!! No!! No spammy!!! If anyone wants to request, please do so here. My inbox is too cluttered and my crappy dial-up is too full of evilness to handle too many PMs at one time. I suppose if I was less lazy I could just clean out the seventy ancient messages i've got stored in there for no apparent reason, but that would be work, and I avoid that kind of thing when I'm here.

But I'm glad you liked it, MT!

I request too!!!

MB: An open oppurtunity to steal and who takes the chance? None other then Loyal... so I guess alcohol = good time?

[Skyshot]

MM -- I hereby cordially request the addition of myself unto your list of awesomization. Uh, verily prithee.

MB -- 1. I like the labels in the corners. 2. Loyal gets there before I do? Bah! The larcenous fiend.

[Flarecobra]

Oooh, me after Meister!

And Flare.

Hell with it, just get it done whenever. ;)


I never put in a request.

[Major Blood]

Ooooh, me request too Mauve. Thank you.

[Loyal]

MB is now one of my favorite forumites. :D

[Flarecobra]

....I doubt Skyshot would be fooled THAT easly.

[QueenQeeko]

Rob him blind! D:

Nice one, MB.


Nice drawing, Mauve Mage, good line work.

[Skyshot]

Lets face it Skyshot. Loyal is just better than you.EDIT ONE: Never!

EDIT TWO: This is war.

Mesden -- I am afraid I do not recognize the song you parody.

[Mesden]

I'm an asshole! (http://youtube.com/watch?v=uX7u4cImPF0&search=asshole%20song)

Fifthfiend: But you DO suck sooooooo much! Also, you had a couple of witty remarks at my expense!

[Nikose Tyris]

...Fifthfiend gone done and commented in the COMIC THREAD. :O THATS AGAINST THE RULES.

hehe, Dennis Leary's, "I'm an asshole." I love that song. Good job with the rewrite Messy-chan.

[Loyal]

EDIT ONE: Never!

EDIT TWO: This is war.I assume you mean with him. After all, we're already just two steps shy of calling in tactical nukes on each other.

I think MB is kissing up to me at this point. The way he's taking it, I approve. :D

[Mesden]

...Fifthfiend gone done and commented in the COMIC THREAD. :O THATS AGAINST THE RULES.

hehe, David Leary's, "I'm an asshole." I love that song. Good job with the rewrite Messy-chan.

Pssssst, DENIS Leary. He's also one of the best comedians that EVER EXISTED! >.> <.< >.>

Irish people are obviously inherently funny. Fifth, Leary, Me...those other Irish people no one cares about.

[Major Blood]

Mesden, that was the greatest rewrite i have ever heard. Well done.:D

EDIT -
I think MB is kissing up to me at this point. The way he's taking it, I approve.

No kissing up really. Just a comicky-response to what skyshot said about my comic.

[Nikose Tyris]

I have no idea what you're talking about, Mesden, I OBVIOUSLY said Dennis Leary, what kind of retard would make THAT kind of obvious blunder?

[Mondt]

DennisDenis..

DENIS Leary.

Quitre sure.

:p

[Fifthfiend]

...Fifthfiend gone done and commented in the COMIC THREAD. :O THATS AGAINST THE RULES.

I am the rules.

... Which apparently has no bearing on whether I happen to, you know, actually know the rules.

A comic thread and a corresponding comic discussion thread?

Madness!

[Hatake Kakashi]

Mesden, that was purely awesome. That even beats the Beavis and Butthead re-write of Edgar Allen Poe's "The Raven" I did for my english class about a decade ago. Well done.

[Major Blood]

Mesden, that was purely awesome. That even beats the Beavis and Butthead re-write of Edgar Allen Poe's "The Raven" I did for my english class about a decade ago. Well done.

Do you still have it? You should post it.

[Hatake Kakashi]

I'd post it, but it doesn't quite fit the criteria of the thread... amusing? Damn right, it is. But it isn't about anyone in the forums, other than my own twisted imagination. However, if it's cool, I'll post it once I'm finished moving at the end of the month.

[Mesden]

That's VERY well done, Kakashi.

Also, to note, I editted the song I made to rip off the beginning and give the song I ripped to those who don't know what I'm talking about!

[BlackMageGirl!]

I remember seeing that Kakashi. ^^ Still awesome!

[Fenris]

Kikashi, me likes. I never knew you were such a good artist.

[phil_]

I'd post it, but it doesn't quite fit the criteria of the thread.That may be true, but there's a thread were it does fit. It's called "5 minute poetry. (Actually, the all-purpose poetry thread.)," (http://forum.nuklearpower.com/showthread.php?t=3426) and it's lonely.

[mauve]

Wow, that's awesome, Hatake! Very nicely done!

[Raiden]

I actually like the face of your pic better than the face of the wallpaper.

[mammothtank]

Uber-awesome Meister, Mauve. Coolness.

[Skyshot]

RZ -- I like it! And yeah, it's been a while since the FIRST GUY TO TEAM UP WITH YOU had center stage (:p) . I must admit I'm confused about the second-to-last panel, though.

[RickZarber]

I must admit I'm confused about the second-to-last panel, though.Ah, yeah, maybe that is a little confusing. The cavern you guys were in was made of wind. That is, the wind was holding the sand back to form the walls. By gaining control of the weather you stopped the wind. Thus the chamber fell in and crushed the temple boss.

[GARUD]

Hmm... have to remember to use a dessert of sand to bury Melfice. Nice comic Rick.

[Melfice]

FOR THE LAST TIME, I'M NOT A DEMON-MAN ANYMORE!
*panting*

That said, nice comic Rick. Though, what prompted FlareCobra to, y'know, use a fire spell?

[GARUD]

FOR THE LAST TIME, I'M NOT A DEMON-MAN ANYMORE!
*panting*

You say it as if I didn't know it.

[Melfice]

¬_¬
Great... from Demon-hunter to psycho killer, in one easy step.
Just great.

[GARUD]

¬_¬
Great... from Demon-hunter to psycho killer, in one easy step.
Just great.

Actually, I kinda fell into it. It was more of a mis-step.

[Flarecobra]

Becasue aside from White Magic, fire attacks are the only magic I know, and if caught in a sandy tornado like that, using my spear would've been far worse.

[Melfice]

... very good point, Flare.
Very good point, indeed.

[Meister]

*comes, sees and loves*

[Flarecobra]

Too bad you got out of the comicing Meister. I loved your comics.

[Mesden]

Too bad you got out of the comicing Meister. I loved your comics.

It's like a not-so-subtle hint, yo!

Here, I'll say it!

Meister, you German Paragon!, MAKE SOME COMICS! Grrr, angry commanding!

[Flarecobra]

It was just a comment Mes. Nothing more.

[Meister]

Aw, you know I'd love to but there are those iffy time issues...

[Flarecobra]

I know the feeling...I've got like 3 half-finished comics on my laptop. DAMN YOU WORK!

[Fenris]

Mauve, that was poetry in motion. Good job.

[Loyal]

So, the Looney-Toons stuff-dropper man is a smartass as well, eh? And with the O RLY Owl no less? Mauve, you win. You just plain win in all twelve levels of winnyness. That was... just... brilliant! XD

[Melfice]

DIVINE RETRIBUTION!
Hahahahaha!

Ofcourse, Garud will just type in a cheat after I hit him and get all god-mode on my ass, but at least I'm getting him back.

[GARUD]

DIVINE RETRIBUTION!
Hahahahaha!

Ofcourse, Garud will just type in a cheat after I hit him and get all god-mode on my ass, but at least I'm getting him back.

See? THIS IS HOW HE TREATS ME. Just because I tried to kill him a few hundred times. Jeeze, hold a grudge why don't ya.

[PyrosNine]

Why is everyone elses sprite a normal walking pose, yet mine a jumping one?

Pyrosnine does not jump in the desert. Pyros rides through the desert with a horse with no name because I refuse to signify it's existence.

[Fenris]

Mauve: o.o That looks so awesome! In fact, that MUST be my avatar! My current one's from a long time ago, anyway! It's a beautiful drawing. ^_^

EDIT: Whee, bigger version!

[mauve]

Nikose: Pirate-Ninja = Awesomeness. Definately enough awesomeness to cause the galaxy to explode.

Fenris: XD Things like this make me wish I had a chat account!

Garud: Gotta love Karma, huh?

Pyros: I love the internal monologuing... while he's falling to his doom. XD

[Flarecobra]

Mauve, all you need is an AIM account. And a lack of sanity and/or a way to defend yourself.

[Melfice]

Shit, just realized something.
Garud and I both know the SAME SPELL!

Foreshadowing? Or just laziness on both mine and Garuds part?
Stay tuned for the next episode, kids!

[mauve]

Mauve, all you need is an AIM account. And a lack of sanity and/or a way to defend yourself. One out of three ain't bad, huh?

[Mesden]

One out of three ain't bad, huh?

Well, Mauve, if downloading AIM is a problem, you can always use Meebo (http://www29.meebo.com/). It'll give you a sign up for an AIM name and let you talk to the AIM people without downloading a thing. It's how Fenny and POS are ever on anymore, since they can't download it either.

[Fenris]

Phil_, you do realize that using japanese characters makes you an ass, right?

Oh, you said that already? Tough, I still felt the need to call you an ass. Ass.

Seriously though, nice comic. I look forward to the next one.

And my announcement: AQOSTW is on hiatus until Sithdarth finishes the comic website. I just don't wanna make too much work for 'im.

[mauve]

Yay! More comic wonderfulicityness from Phil! I look forward to seeing how this newest storyline goes.

[Skyshot]

Phil -- yeah, but if he hadn't had fire magic, I wouldn't have ended up killing you both.

Oh, I see.

Mauve -- just awesome. Also, agitated? I always wear that expression.

[Flarecobra]

So Mauve, who's next on your hit list for profile pictures?

[mauve]

Let's see... Now that Skyshot's is done, I've got:

*Major Blood
*Dragonsbane
*Raiden
*Nikose

I think that's everyone who's asked so far. If I'm missing someone, please let me know. And I'm still taking requests, if anyone else wants on the list.

[mammothtank]

Wow. Skyshot looks badass. Great job, Mauve.

[Edit] phil_: Monty Python reference! Woo!

[phil_]

Reference? It's the whole durn comic!

And I'd like to note that this is almost definately the first time I've had an actual punchline at the end of my comic, as opposed to a slow trickle to a stop.

And, as long as I'm commenting on myself, I'll comment on Mauve's excellent rendition of Skyshot. No! her T-Rexcellent Skyshot...

It's right spiffy, especially the shading and folds in the cloak and robe. The face is expressive as always, and the pose is, for lack of better words, "action packed." I'd say it's my favorite of your requested portraits.

[mauve]

Phil- I love the Google Sage and the Wiki Sage!! XD That's great! And of course, anything with Monty Python references in it instantly becomes Uber Awesome. So I think this comic has reached an near-impossible and potentially dangerous level of awesomeness.

[Major Blood]

Mauve: Great Skyshot drawing! Is that list in order? Does that mean i'm next?:D
Phil: I didn't catch the reference, but it was hillarious nonetheless.

[Melfice]

Let's see... Now that Skyshot's is done, I've got:

*Major Blood
*Dragonsbane
*Raiden
*Nikose

I think that's everyone who's asked so far. If I'm missing someone, please let me know. And I'm still taking requests, if anyone else wants on the list.

Hmm... I'm interested in seeing your rendition of the all new Melfice.
Go ahead. ^_^

EDIT: One thing, I didn't design him as a manga character, that's the style of our comic. Just saying that, 'cause you don't seem to draw manga either.

[+1 Name]

Phil_(What's the underscore for?): Funny comic, but shouldn't it be hydromancy?

[Fenris]

Mauve, one of if not the best picture of Skyshot I've seen.

Phil_: It's about time that you started to make a series again! Excellent work, dude.

+1, Phil_ and _mike used to be Phil_mike. They had their account split. The _ is a surgery scar, although there are other scars as well... (http://forum.nuklearpower.com/showpost.php?p=365434&postcount=940)

[phil_]

"Hydromancy" as opposed to "water-magic," or have you been looking at the file name?

Either way, _mike and I like "aquamancy," and "water-magic" fits the childish tone of most of my comics, so it'll stay switching between those, depending on the desired effect. At least for the most part.

Be glad I didn't go with "Mahou no mizu." Now that'd be something to question.

... Out of curiosity, why do you think 'hydromancy" is a better term?

P.S. Fenris, as they say in Metal Slug, "You're Great!" Thanks for fielding that one for me.

[+1 Name]

... Out of curiosity, why do you think 'hydromancy" is a better term?

Oh, wait. Yeah, I got Mancy and Kinesis confused. I've been playing Rifts (Mind Melters have a power called Hydrokinesis which lets them control water. I was thinking it was Hydromancy) too much, but doesn't "hydro" mean it has something to do with water?

[Fenris]

Oh, wait. Yeah, I got Mancy and Kinesis confused. I've been playing Rifts too much, but doesn't "hydro" refer to water?
It does.

It's normally hydromancy but it's Phil_'s comic, and he can call it whatever he damn well pleases! :DD

But yeah, normally hydromancy, but it doesn't particularly add or take anything away from the comic.

[+1 Name]

It's okay that he does it. I'm not complaining. I just like to agonize over small things like that.

[Fenris]

It's okay that he does it. I'm not complaining. I just like to agonize over small things like that.
Heh, that's okay. I just like being dramatic n'stuff.

[RickZarber]

Gasp, continuity from Phil?! XP Nice comics Phil. But seein' as I'm in charge of archiving, what's the series' official title? (For those of use who don't read Japanese.)

Mauve: Very impressive drawings. I love the dynamic poses. All my drawings always come off very stiff. I love the flowing look of yours. And I guess while you're at it I'll go ahead and put in a request for one...

I know it's been forever since I've done a JAQ, but I'm still trying to get back into the swing of having a job, so I've either had little-to-no time to work on it or have been totally exhausted. I have Saturday off, though, so I may try to do the next one then.

[Loyal]

Of course Skyshot is agitated. He knows that for all his fighting prowess he'll never be as good at thievery as I. :p

That said, I'd like to patch in a request as well. Keep up the good work, Mauve!

[+1 Name]

She's taking requests? Do me please!

[Silly Kitty]

Hey, Mauve! Aren't you just tired of drawing guys? SO BORING! Why don't you draw say.. me? Sounds like fun? Yes, I thought so. ^^

[phil_]

(Mind Melters have a power called Hydrokinesis which lets them control water. I was thinking it was Hydromancy)I'll say, if it were a kinesis, it'd start with "hydro." That sounds nice.

But seein' as I'm in charge of archiving, what's the series' official title? (For those of use who don't read Japanese.)"Aquamancy no Mike" is the official title, though the top thing says "mahou no mizu no mike (ma-i-ku)." Also, I too don't read Japanese; _mike just thought that would be funny when I proposed having a titlebar.

[mauve]

Woo hoo! I recognized the "no" symbol! It's the only Japanese character I know! And the only reason I can read "no" is because of Samurai Champloo!

God, that's sad.


I did wonder what the title meant. Now I know! XD



And to RZ, Loyal, Silly Kitty, and +1 Name: Thanks! You make me feel special!! ^^ I've added your names to my List -O- People to Draw.

[Melfice]

... oh, and poor old Melfice remains forgotten?

Fine, be that way. I'll just be over here... crying...

[mauve]

How could anyone forget poor old Melfice? (Hehehee. That's right, now that you've had a birthday, we can call you 'old!') No, I didn't forget you. I wrote down your name on my List-O-People To Draw yesterday. I just didn't post it. :sweatdrop Never fear, Melfice. I shall not forget thee.

[GARUD]

Well... since you are making requests, Mauve, may I... well, request?

[Flarecobra]

*Evil grin* Garud, expect a responce comic.

[Fenris]

GARUD, that was pretty funny.

Flare, I look forward to it. =3

[Flarecobra]

Well, it'll not be that big...just look in the Happy Birthday thread....

[RickZarber]

"Aquamancy no Mike" is the official title, though the top thing says "mahou no mizu no mike (ma-i-ku)." Also, I too don't read Japanese; _mike just thought that would be funny when I proposed having a titlebar.Allllrighty then. Also, NoVA? :stressed: That's it man, you're going down! :p See, it's funny cause I have a friend who goes to Radford and his pet peeve is people referring to northern Virginia as NoVA, when up here the only thing the term is used for is the local community college.

GARUD: Heheheh women's clothing (http://forum.nuklearpower.com/showpost.php?p=368751&postcount=959)...

[Melfice]

That... was hilarious! That made me laugh out loud. Very funny.
Thank you, GARUD. That was just wonderful.
EDIT: Oh, and it's two days overdue, but I don't mind.

Mauve: Oh, accept my apologies then, I didn't know that. ^_^
EDIT II: Bah, how did I miss that one...

Eh... get off my lawn, you young whippersnappers! Before I call the police on you's!

[phil_]

Rick, I was gonna apologise for the "NoVA" thing (didn't know it was such a soft spot. Mike did, apparently), but you had to drag that sprite into this! I was under the influence of chat8bit; I wasn't responsible for my actions!

You will pay. I guess.

[Major Blood]

MM: :D Whee! I be drawed. Thanks Mauve!

[Mesden]

Honestly, Mauve, I am in awe.

Yes, awe with italics. That means good job, you know! d(^ ^d)

[Flarecobra]

Ok, planning on posting a pic of myself in Lamia form, just for some opinions. Here or the Sketches thread over in A&C?

[Fenris]

Either place is right, Flare. Wherever you want to.

[Flarecobra]

Ok then, thanks.

[Melfice]

Looks pretty nice, Flare.
But... are you carrying yourself on a leash? o_0

Interesting...

[Flarecobra]

Well, that was a little slip on my part, and decided to run with it.

It was susposed to by my whip, but I goofed.

[Fenris]

I can't wait to see the finished drawing.

And yeah, that is a really good drawing.

[Melfice]

Well, that was a little slip on my part, and decided to run with it.

It was susposed to by my whip, but I goofed.

It gets more interesting by the minute... =P

[Flarecobra]

Well, it is hard to use a slashing-styled spear when you're a lamia....

[Loyal]

Ah, that drawing looks much better in color (Even if only partially). Nicely done, Flare.

[Flarecobra]

Thanks, but I had to junk it....roommate spilled soda nad it ruined the pic... >_<

[Major Blood]

Phil: I hate you. I really hate you.

[phil_]

Scott McCloud promised an infinite canvas.

Also, it could've been 1.88 MB instead of 538 KB. Thank the orphan who gave his soul to fuel the gimp's "index without dithering" feature.

[mauve]

Flare: That's awesome!! I love her face-- the eyes are fantastic.


Phil: "...Just like Kikyo." XD That last panel has redeemed you for the sin of stretching the page, and making me waste energy scrolling sideways. That's energy I could have spent getting involved in everybody's sneezing!!!

And Satan's Onion is a girl? Never knew that!

[mammothtank]

And Satan's Onion is a girl? Never knew that!Makes two of us.

phil_, what the fuck? I liked the comic, but what the fuck? That's the most ridiculously oriented comic I've ever seen. It's like a comic labyrinth.

[Loyal]

That was interestingly funny, and true, Phil.

Though I have to wonder what got into you to make the frames like that. It boggles me mind!

[_mike]

*sigh* I knew there would be some sort of backlash for this setup, but I didn't think it'd be the main focus of everyone's comments.

Let me explain that this is my fault. I wanted to do something to show that a distance was being traversed, so the original idea was to have the comic go in a line across the page. That's right; this comic was intended from the beginning to cause horizontal scrolling. This is because the new forum code allows single posts to be longer horizontally without stretching anyone else's post. Let me reemphasize that; no one else's post is streched. You can type without pressing enter and your lines of text will be the standard size.

If I can be honest for a second, I actually feel kind of insulted by that "ridiculously oriented" comment (not that I'm gonna hold it against you, just saying..). Just as phil_ started putting this comic together, I thought that it'd be visually interesting if the panels where we don't go anywhere were arranged vertically. This resulted in the "comic labyrinth" of three turns that mammothtank described.

I'd also like to point out again that you guys can thank phil_'s skill at compressing files without damaging image quality for this comic being a quarter of the file size it originally was. I'd understand if you were upset over having to wait for this artsy abortion of conventions of member comics, but this thing should have just popped up for most of you.

I promise we won't do this again, but seeing as this comic series has no point, I thought it'd be nice if they didn't look like every other comic that has ever been in this thread. Trying to prevent stagnation and all that... (http://forum.nuklearpower.com/showpost.php?p=290241&postcount=479)

EDIT: Oh, and phil_'s gonna change this one into a thumbnail like the last one.

[mauve]

I'm sorry! I'm sure none of us meant any offense! :(

[phil_]

While I'm changing this, I have a question. If I make all my comics into thumbnail links, would you guys be okay with me using infinite canvas techniques, or should I just cut it out?

EDIT: Oh, and _mike says he knows you guys didn't mean any offense, he just felt that certain critisisms were a bit harsher than they needed to be. He also finds it amusing that it took Major Blood only seconds to express his hatred of us both.

Non-self-centered EDIT: Adghar, that's brilliant, especially if sung as a metal song.

EDIT the third: I know, MB, I know.

[Major Blood]

Adghar: I'm a helper!

EDIT - I was only joking Phil.

[PyrosNine]

Heh...snakes on a boat and what has to be the best flash animation EVER!

Nice ones Phil, Adghar.

[Fenris]

Hey, I liked the panel layout. It was diffferent. It was a nice change of pace.

Yer all a bunch of whiners! WHINERS I SAY! :p

And I loved the punchline. Excellent job all around, phil_.

And Adghar, that was quite humorous. Keep up the good work.

[Great Cartoonist]

Very nice. So would this mean that Doll is going to make an appearance?
The panel layout is very innovative, phil_. Wish I'd thought of that.

Also, Adghar = winner.

[Flarecobra]

"Snakes on a Boat?" Phil? Already done. See: 13th MEU; July 05-Febuary 06 on the USS Tarawa.

And nice job useing NWN as the backgrounds.

[mammothtank]

If I can be honest for a second, I actually feel kind of insulted by that "ridiculously oriented" comment (not that I'm gonna hold it against you, just saying..). Just as phil_ started putting this comic together, I thought that it'd be visually interesting if the panels where we don't go anywhere were arranged vertically. This resulted in the "comic labyrinth" of three turns that mammothtank described....

I feel like an ass now. You tried a new and interesting idea, and I just stomped on it. I even liked it and I stomped on it. I'm sorry I offended you; I should have given my post more thought.

[Nikose Tyris]

Very nice, Fenris. I like.

and Phil_ & _Mike? that comic was funny, until you put it on imageshack. my computer randomly doesn't let me see things from imageshack, and now I can't read the comic!

aw well. :P

[Mesden]

Oh god! It's forum comic drama! Get the fuck out while you still can!

But, that aside, Phil__Mike? I liked how it turned out. Also, for some stupid reason and not holding this to a single person here, what WOULD be the point in complaining about a comic that is given to you for free to amuse you? Just sayin', enjoy what you get and throw in teh politeness sometimes, along with the abrasive humor. You know, throw the joke out and give a humbs up or something.

Yes, I'm quite sure some things were jokes (Major Blood comes to mind), but had it not been people as tolerant as I know Phil_ and _Mike are, I dunno, it could've rubbed some wrong shoulders, you know?

I know I've got little room to talk on the subject (I had some badly taken, abrasive joke not the other day here that turned out stupidly drama filled and overreacted on both parts), but, you know, make a tad more friendly in its manner sometimes. (Oh god, she's playing dress up moderator! All the more reason to run!)

But, I'll stop preaching and start practicing now. >.>

Oh, and, uh, nice comic if I didn't say it already, Phil and Mike. You do this place proud. Variation's always a nice touch! <.<

[Flarecobra]

Hell, if one used a little imagnation, the layout kinda looked like it was the path they were walking. I don't see it as something worth complaining about. It was an experment, and that was it. Lay off them everyone.

[Skyshot]

Fenris -- ...I am going to kill him. Loyal, you're not getting away with this! You can't steal me!

Phil/Mike -- I thought it was creative. Also, amusing. EDIT: Hang on, I know what it's missing! You're supposed to say "Wait! I know the perfect person to take with us!" in the last panel, and leave us all speculating hopelessly as to who it could possibly be. Silly Philly.

[Satan's Onion]

And Satan's Onion is a girl? Never knew that!
Makes two of us.
...

I am. (Cue thunder.) In the comic's context, I'm also a mechanoid! (I'd spoiler this, but it's readily apparent to anyone who's seen the posted sprite sheet.)

Good stuff, this phil__mike comic. But I might be biased :p ...

[RickZarber]

You're supposed to say "Wait! I know the perfect person to take with us!" in the last panel, and leave us all speculating hopelessly as to who it could possibly be. Silly Philly.Silly Skyshot. That's my comic. :p

Seriously though, while I'm not a fan of the infinite canvas, I've got nothin' but my own personal distaste against its use. It's their own comic, they can do whatever they damn well please with it. Hell, the anti-horizontal scrolling sentiment comes mostly out of laziness anyways. And I can't say anything about the file's size seein' as I regularly upload JAQs of about that size. On a seperate note, those backgrounds work really well, guys.

Adghar: O.o ...Just... O.o

Fenris: Heheh, that thiefy bastard...

Just FYI, I've finally got over my writers block and wrote the next 8 JAQs. So that means the next one will be soon, and no more month-long waits in between them. I actually figured out that I've managed one per month since February, and that's without updating for several months in a row. I hope to get back to at least one a week.

[Loyal]

Fenris -- ...I am going to kill him. Loyal, you're not getting away with this! You can't steal me![Cue maniacal laughter here.] Can't I, Skyshot? Can't I?

Excellent work, Fenris.

[Fenris]

Rick: Awesome! Really good drawing. When I first heard about it, I was wondering how the hell you'd pull it off, and you did, quite well, I might add. ^_^

[Major Blood]

Rz: ....:D

Bloody Hillarious.

[Inbred Chocobo]

Nice Rick, but did you notice a certain someone was lacking a certain thing in a certain head region? Gotta point that out man.

[Fenris]

Nice Rick, but did you notice a certain someone was lacking a certain thing in a certain head region? Gotta point that out man.
Could you have made that sound any more like an innuendo?

The obvious answer is that the ears are bent down and covered by her hair. Or they're see-through now.

[Inbred Chocobo]

Could you have made that sound any more like an innuendo?

Is that a challenge? If so, you are on!

Rick, not only is the head region lacking, but you forgot all about the length of another part too. Shoot she has that thing all over the place, and you either forgot about it, or decided it was best tucked away. (Which it shouldn't be by the way.)

[Silly Kitty]

... Yeah

AWESOME, RZ! I'm glad you actually finished it. It turned out great. Loyal looks very awkward in my clothes.

[RickZarber]

Thanks for the compliments, guys. And IC, I couldn't draw the ears well enough, so I decided to leave them out. And having the tail without the ears woulda been weird.

[mauve]

(This following his recent drawing of himself in Mauve's clothes.) Why have I not seen this?! I demand to see aforementioned drawing!! XD

That's great, Rick!! I love poor Loyal's expression!


Fenris and Adghar: My internet isn't behaving itself this evening, so I wasn't able to see your comic and animation. I want to cry. I'm gonna keep trying to load the page, though, because I WANT TO SEE THE FUNNY!!


Also-- Flare, what did you use to color that drawing o' yours? It looks great!

[Flarecobra]

I used Copic markers. I love 'em! Expensive as hell though sadly, so my color selection is rather limitedish. (I have about 50.)

[mammothtank]

Rick, that's hilarious. I remember that, too. At least, I think I remember it...
You know, I can't remember whether I remember it or not... Either way though, the drawing rocks. d(^.^d)
Edit 'cause I noticed something: Kitty looks great in that red jacket.

Yours too, FC. Give us more!

[Fenris]

You know what I just noticed?

Loyal's clothes are rather... form-fitting... on a lady. Hmmmm.... :p

EDIT: Mauve, here (http://img79.imageshack.us/my.php?image=scan4vz.jpg) is the pic Rick was referring to.

[+1 Name]

Rickzarber: I love Loyal's expression. Good work.

[mauve]

Thanks Fenris! NOW I remember that drawing! XD

Also for Fenris: Yaaay! I gots to see your comic at LONG LASTS!! (Adding "s" to the end of things is is cool and funs.) I love Skyshot's explanation. Somehow, though, I forsee a revenge plot in the near future.

Adghar: Nice animation!! :D

[Melfice]

Mauve, I don't know what you do for a living, but I suggest checking your options into colouring work for artists, or perhaps freelancing cartoonist or something, I don't know.

You really are amazing with the crayola thingies...

Awesome drawing, I must say.

[Fenris]

I agree with Melfice here, Mauve.

You even made Dragonsbane look good. :p

[GARUD]

I'm just gonna bandwagon and say those drawings are fantastic. It shows that yu put in both talent and effort into what you do. So, kudos to you, oh pinkish mage of torture, kudos to you.

[Melfice]

Eh, pink-ish?
It's rather more purple-ish to me, actually...

[Fenris]

You're both right. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mauve)

[GARUD]

Wait... me and Melfice right at the same time? Fenris, you just created a paradox. The world could implode on the sheer magnitude of what you just said.

[Fenris]

That's the plan!

[Melfice]

I quote wiki, and thus prove my superiority over Garud, and end this off-topicness:
Mauve (French form of Malva, "mallow") is a pale grayed pink-lilac color, one of many in the range of purples.

[GARUD]

I quote wiki, and thus prove my superiority over Garud, and end this off-topicness:

You make me laugh sometimes.

[BlackMageGirl!]

Holy crap, Adgar...I just saw your comicthing. I died. XD So funny!

[Melfice]

Major Blood, I suggest you take that thing down.
It borders very close on flaming an ex-forumgoer.

He may not visit here anymore, but such stuff is still bad.

[Raiden]

Melfice, Garud, and Fenris.

All three of you have officially broken one of the Man Laws by attempting to decipher what the color Mauve is.

Please pay your fines at the counter in...you know where, and serve your community service, as is issued by the Court of Men.

That is all.

(Also, good work on the pics, Mauve)

[Fenris]

Major Blood, I suggest you take that thing down.
It borders very close on flaming an ex-forumgoer.

He may not visit here anymore, but such stuff is still bad.
Sure, it may be flamey, but that doesn't make it anything other than funny as hell.

[Mesden]

Mauve: Seriously, I mean, you seem to dislike a few things about it and I guess all artists do that, but seriously now, you kick 12, count 'em, twelve kinds of ass with your artistry.

Yeah, Twelve.

Melfice, I know it's good intent and all, but even if he were here and was still some happy, active member of our community, it'd still be a flamey joke that you could pretty much make.

I mean, hell, it gave me a laugh, and that's what we're here for, right? Happiness!

[Major Blood]

I agree with Melfice anyways. Now that i think about it, it probably wasn't a good idea.

[Melfice]

Sure... happiness. And all that jazz...

Y'know... you remind me of something, and I can't put my finger on it... ah, forget it.

Oh, and my apologies, Raiden. I shall report immediatly at... the place, and commit myself to the community as dictated in the Law of Men.

[PyrosNine]

Oh, and my apologies, Raiden. I shall report immediatly at... the place, and commit myself to the community as dictated in the Law of Men.

And the law of women too, as one cannot ponder the intricacies of pink/purple variations without being touched by the feminine Mystique. Who, in character, is more of a blackish purple anyway. She's a shapeshifting wonder of discipline!

[Flarecobra]

Pretty distructive spell for a Time Mage there Rick...

[RickZarber]

Destructive, or just... impressive looking? XP

[Flarecobra]

They can be both Rick.

[Melfice]

Y'know, I somewhere I expected someone to get hit by a tentacle, thus warranting the title Tentacle Rape... then again, this works nicely as well.

Ah, and that's my BlackMageGirl! alright. So destructive, yet still an angel at heart. =P

Rick-- That was HILARIOUS!!!

Your comic style is great. I've been meaning to comment on this for some time. You can really see how your experience with film and framing comes out in your work-- I love all the different shot angles and lighting you use. It really adds a lot to the visual quality of the piece. Just reading this one was like looking at a storyboard for an animation. It all flows very nicely.


Also-- Did anyone else start singing the Pirates of the Caribbean theme during this one? XD "RELEASE THE KRAAAAAKEEEEN!!!!"




Mauve: Seriously, I mean, you seem to dislike a few things about it and I guess all artists do that, but seriously now, you kick 12, count 'em, twelve kinds of ass with your artistry.

Yeah, Twelve. Rock on!! That's like five more types of ass than normal!!! XD

Rick's comic styling abilities are beyond incredible. It's the kind of talent that could take YEARS to develop.

He also ties with Mauve for "best handling of the Loyal/Skyshot rivalry" among the forums. If I've said it before, it warrants a second iteration. :p

[+1 Name]

Satan's Onion: That's really funny!

[Satan's Onion]

My first comics-related compliment! Thank you! Excuse me while I go burst into song over there.

[Fenris]

Satan: XD

Awesome. I mean, really, what else could we say to that? I like the style of it.

I look forward to a potential more.

[Flarecobra]

Hmmm...Volcano...my element......Sounds like fun!


And I'll send that Flare's solder spritesheet to you this weekend most likely

[mauve]

Nice job, Satan's Onion!! I likes!

[+1 Name]

That picture is awesome. You're awesome.

[GARUD]

Welcome to the world of comicry SO. I think that if that comic was any indication of the future, your comics will be something special.

EDIT: Oh miss Mauve, that was a great picture. The expression on his face makes him look like he has something up his ... asstronomical picture you made Mauve. Good stuff.

[Fenris]

Fuggin' awesome, Mauve.

I like the detail you've been putting in the drawings now. ^^

[Raiden]

.......
..............
..........................

Mauve wins. SO hard.

That is all.

[Satan's Onion]

It must be those colored pencils Mauve uses--y'know, the ones comprised of equal parts win and awesome.
...
I'm kidding. It's all her.

On another, ego-stroking note, thanks y'all! I'm glad it's gone over so well. I have a plot arc idea, but it needs some fleshing out and a lot of research into suitable supporting characters (of which there seems to be quite an abundance) before I do much with it.

Yeah, use me if you want to. I don't have these damn spritesheets for nothing, ya know!

[Mesden]

Satan: You know, just the fact I can call you Satan and it's perfectly fine makes you win, that comic's just awesome on top!

Rick: Very, very funny as always. I'm sure the neverending praise isn't old yet! ^^

Mauve: Make that 15 now.

[Hatake Kakashi]

Mauve, I always enjoy your work. Please feel free to use my sprites/character, if you like.

[Satan's Onion]

ZutsuJin: I believe the word I want to use here is "oooooooooooooooh".

[BlackMageGirl!]

Wow, I need to check the comic section more often.

XD I know a verson of Hadoken? Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet, that's something new. Awesome as always Rick!

[phil_]

Rick, I'm always glad to see more JAQ.

Satan's Onion, I like the Charlie Brown house, as well as the insight into how you talk (makes my life easier).

Mauve, the pose, expression, coloring, and sword are like an awesome-sunday. Note the hyphen, as that means it's not a sunday with awesome qualities, but a sunday made of awesome. Can't help but miss the detective comics, though...

POS, perhaps it could do with a brushed-metal look, though that's a bit cliched. Still, it screams "heartless corporation," so it's a fitting logo.

ZJ, the sketchy line art and airbrush almost make it look like a kid's first try at Photoshop, but your great skill has overcome that to make it, overall, a rather artistic and original image of Mauve. Also, I like the face. It's kinda expressionist, with the eye hanging in space beyond her profile. The glasses are a good touch, too. I'd say you've succeeded in making this unique among your drawings.

[POS Industries]

You read my mind, but I am currently without the resources to pull off that effect. Maybe in a future version. I also thought it would look good on a black flag waving over massive skyscraper standing untouched in the center of a devastated city, but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

[Silly Kitty]

Gasp! ZJ is back! Glee!

Nice work everyone. ^^

[PyrosNine]

Santa/Satan's Onion: Burning a lazer into the mountain is always a goodway to keep them uppity vacuum salesmen at bay. Though those preachy door to door church people will probably take it as a sign of god and only be emboldened in their efforts...
Also, if ya need a spare character, I'm quite the available. I don't get enough airtime in Garud's comic for my vain selfcentred needs.

Mauve: Great Raiden pic! I shall keep it close while I plot intergodly mischief against my elder god.

Rick: Excellent comic, though I'm only just starting to dig through the previous ones so I know what it's all about.

Zutsujin: Nicely done. I take her pose and facial expressions as if she was trying to act emo, yet failing miserably due to her inner bright-mauve glowyness.

[Hatake Kakashi]

Hmm... I might actually have to try my hand at drawing a Mauve... I wonder how she'd look as an anime character....

[mauve]

POS- That's great! XD See, now you're one step closer to world domination. First a name, then a mission and a plan, then a corporate logo, then we put aforementioned plan into action and VIOLA!! Corporate domination!!

ZJ- Holy crap! That's beautiful, ZutsuJin!! She even has my glasses! ^^ And I don't think it's a bathroom pose. She looks like she's standing hip-shod, and it is awesome. So says the mage, so it is truth.

EDIT--- PHIL: Good one! Methinks +1 Name is about to have his +1 revenge. Also- Me gusta el nombre de su ciudad. Muy divertido. <<Puerta Abuelas Calientes…>> !!Ja Ja!!



Hatake-- I'd be happy to add your name to my List O Folks to Draw. Be forewarned, however, that it probably won't be in a manga style. My past attempts at drawing manga have ended.... badly.


Can't help but miss the detective comics, though... Really? Well, I'm glad people liked them! I've actually got the next episode half-finished on my laptop; I've just sort of forgotten about it since the drawings began. I can get that finished pretty soon too, though.

I know my skill in spanish is close to nonexistent, but I couldn't help but notice something that looked like "Hot Grandmothers," or something of that nature. You haven't been hanging with Krylo lately, have you?

And yes, feel free to draw my character, if you like. I'm just trying to figure out how I would want to draw yours. Something dramatic, yet with a sexy-innocent flair, I think.

[mauve]

I know my skill in spanish is close to nonexistent, but I couldn't help but notice something that looked like "Hot Grandmothers," or something of that nature. You haven't been hanging with Krylo lately, have you? Heehehehehe. I was commenting on Phil's comic-- Check out the sign in the first panel. It says "Welcome to Port Hot Grandmothers" in Spanish. XD

[Hatake Kakashi]

Heh. So it does.

One has to wonder about some people's fetishes these days... and then make videos to exploit mad profits from them. Yes.

[Flarecobra]

Heehehehehe. I was commenting on Phil's comic-- Check out the sign in the first panel. It says "Welcome to Port Hot Grandmothers" in Spanish. XD


At least it's not TJ.

And Phil, good comic and all....but in my opinion, it just didn't feel.....like you did it. It was like you made the actual comic, but the ideas and writing were from someone else.

[Dragonsbane]

Mauve, your picture of me is awesome and excellent. I approve, dear Magess.

[POS Industries]

And MB, if you need help with getting my personality right, you have my AIM address.

[PyrosNine]

BLood: Hmm.. Looks like a new nature documentary:

When Flarecobras attack!

[Nikose Tyris]

Say, I wonder when Mauve is going to do her next picture? I'm anxiously awaiting whoever may be next! heehee.

I like all the comics lately. Keep it up!

[Fenris]

Huzzah! I'm in a series!

...

I'm doing WHAT in those drawers? D:

[Flarecobra]

Good thing I dont keep my clothes in drawers.

Might be going for my CD collection....

[mauve]

Say, I wonder when Mauve is going to do her next picture? I'm anxiously awaiting whoever may be next! heehee. Oh, it's coming. And yes, you are next, followed by Melfice. I just took a day off of drawing to finish the comic that's been sitting on my hard drive half-finished for the past month. :rolleyes: But I am by no means quitting my drawing, not until I do a picture for everyone on the list o' people to draw!

[Fenris]

Mauve: Funny stuff!

[Nikose Tyris]

Love BOTH the comics, Mauve/Fenris. ^^ keep up the good work!

[PyrosNine]

Mauve: Excellente Senora Mauve! Silly Raiden and his even sillier impossible desire for his things back.

For when Pyros taketh, Pyros giveth away. To other people who pay money for items that belong to their favorite deity. Betcha'll wish you didn't gloat at the family dinner for your 15,000,000,000 believers now, HUH? Especially when you have to sort through them all to reclaim what is yours! I"m so evil and calculating you'll never get me for it! NEVER!

[Satan's Onion]

Fenris and Mauve: Wowee! Both excellent comics. (Incidentally, Mauve, is that MS Paint work in your comic? It's quite good.)

[mammothtank]

Yes it is, Onion. Because Mauve rocks. She rocks da house. d(^.^d)

Fenris: Kickass. Took me a moment to recognize all the parodies though...

[phil_]

Fenris, if you were looking for a Talladega Nights quote, it's hard to beat

http://img227.imageshack.us/img227/3060/spidermonkeyov4.jpg

That or, "I can't control my heartbeat, I've got a monkey-puma on me!"

[Great Cartoonist]

Fenris: You caught up in the Snakes on a Plane craze too? Well done.

Mauve: My asthma is acting up because I'm laughing too hard...
Also, you have good skill in drawing and coloring. If I ever become a webcomic author and I need someone to color for me, I know who to look for.

[phil_]

ZJ, thanks for the birthday present. And yes, I am short.

It's weird. Mike and I don't really look short until you stand next to us. It's like we have this spacial anomaly in a five-foot diameter that makes folks taller or something.

Regardless, I am a hobbit. A fuzzy-faced, scuzzy hobbit.

Oh, and I look foward to this prank war, +1 Name. Should be funny.

EDIT: Looks like I didn't have to wait long. Is that... a vat of blood in your bedroom? Where, pray tell, did you get all that blood?!

[Nikose Tyris]

...

...words absolutely CANNOT describe you, Mauve. I ADORE it. *cuddles the photo* I'm making it my picture now.

[Edit] Awesome on so many levels, I can't beleive it's awesomeness.

[edit2] Seriously, I adore it. Need to cut out my head right correctly now...

[edit3] Before uploading, had to say awesome again.

[edit4] ultra awesome. Better than Pirates AND ninjas AND jedis put together.

[edit5] and Desktopped now!


The reason I like it is because you are the first person to Draw 'nikose' as I actually see him in my mind. Everyone else who's tried has failed horribly, while you did an AMAZING job, like you were in my head. :P

[mauve]

^^ I'm glad you like it so much!

ZJ-- That is so fun!! I love Phil's expression!

+1 Name-- Would it be too cliche at this point to mention that your comic was +1 funny??

[Satan's Onion]

ZJ: I am ever at a loss for words in the face of your work, but I think the mot juste here is "awesometastic".

+1 Name: Now, I could go the obvious route and say "+1 comics of sprites you made there," but...wait, I just did ^^; . Still, not at all bad stuff you made there.

Mauve, have I mentioned lately your amazingosity with the colored pencils? 'Cos you are quite amazing...ocious. At any rate, you're better at drawing than I am at coining superlatives.

[Flarecobra]

+1 Name's comic streaches the forum...

That aside, pretty good. And I assume the vat of blood is where you get your blood mage abilities from.


Mauve: Cool-looking.

ZJ: It's been done before, but it's still good-looking.

Mauve Mage: Your drawing is awesome, although the sword looks kind of flat. And thank you.

Phil: What? No summoning gods? My good sir, I am appalled and offended!

Truly!

What, do you not trust us or something? :D

Even considering your belief that I may have freudianly slipped a desire to kill you in two of my recent RP posts, and the general fact I can't go anywhere without something exploding into a million pieces of burning debris, I am just aghast at this rule!

Just you wait till Raiden hears of this!

[Flarecobra]

Phil, do you have something agenst me or something? First there was the snakes on a boat jab....now this. And since I'm the only snake-person on the forums, I feel like this is another jab agenst me!

Though it's rather funny that you called the Yellow Pages out of nowhere. Wish I had that...

[mauve]

Phil: XD I love the kidnapping service!!

[phil_]

It's Skyshot's fault, Pyros! He came up with the "reverse-summoning" idea, I just held myself to it.

Flare, you could summon the Yellow Pages of the universe too if you took Summoner as a subjob. But then, you already have quite a few jobs... When did you get a job at H.I.S.S.?

And by snake people, I meant less "Lamia," more:
http://img363.imageshack.us/img363/5394/joe5ol8.png

[Satan's Onion]

Yay! I've been kidnapped!

...wait.

...Nah, yay! I'm in someone else's sprite comic (albeit in a box)! Bitchin', truly bitchin', phil_ .

[Flarecobra]

Ah. Nevermind then. Though sadly I can't take another subjob as I have Fire Elemental as it.

[Meister]

Nice, +1 Name. Your style reminds me of someone, but I can't quite put my finger on it. Can't have been too long ago I saw something done in that style...

[shiney]

I figure it's a bit corny.

[Crodevillian Team]

Corny? I found it rather dark.

[Melfice]

... I'd add something funny, but that'd just kill the joke. And it's a good one, I'll tell you. Had me laughing for a good few minutes.

Nice with the COBRA reference there, Phil_ and _Mike. Although I have to admit, I did think of Flare when Rick said snake-people...
Nice comic, indeed.
Nice drawing by Zutsujin also. *nods*

Eh, and some generic praise for anything before and inbetween, 'cause I don't feel like looking who I've praised or not.

[GARUD]

Phil: I think that kinda leads to a snakes on a plane joke, doesen't it? Well, that's if it was an air service...

1+ name: You are pretty funny. I like your comics already.

Nice comics everyone! Keep up the good work.

[+1 Name]

I figure it's a bit corny.
What do you mean?

[Melfice]

Mauve, this is purely distilled win.
I thank you humbly. *deep bow*

And, with your permission... maybe I'll use that armour design in a future character. We'll work out the details, 'kay? Love ya!

[mammothtank]

I think Mauve has the Badass Touch. You know, kinda like the Midas Touch? Everything made by her hand turns out badass. Great job, Mauve!

[Melfice]

I totally agree, mammoth.
Not that Melfice wasn't badass to start with... =P

Anyways, it's been made into a desktop wallpaper.
I took the gamble, and let Windows resize the original drawing, and guess what? It looks perfect.

http://img183.imageshack.us/img183/747/melficedesktopka2.th.png (http://img183.imageshack.us/my.php?image=melficedesktopka2.png)

Did change the background colour... that white would eventually burn my eyes off. ^_^
In the process, your signature came off, but I fixed that by adding your sprite in the bottom right corner.

EDIT:Also note that nearly all pictograms on the desktop, save for Morrowind and OpenTTD, are my younger brother's.
EDIT: And it's been adapted to an avatar as well.

[QueenQeeko]

That is a sweet pic, Mauve Mage, nicely done :3

[RickZarber]

Wow.

I'm so far behind in comments that I won't even try to catch up. Let it just be known that everyone's comics and drawings rock to the very upper limit of rocking things. Like, more than a rocking chair.

Also: Yay! I'm in a comic! It never gets old!

[mauve]

Wow. It's so weird seeing my stuff being used as wallpapers and avatars and whatnot. Weird and AWESOME! I feel so special! *sniffle*

And thanks for giving me credit with the sprite. I'm kinda internet paranoid, to tell the truth, and I'm always afraid that somehow putting my drawings up, as cheezy as they are, will someohow end up a mistake. I'm really flattered that people are using them as avatars, though. I'm cool with that, but I don't want people.. i dunno... runing them off the copy machine and handing them out to everyone they know. (I've had some bad experiences.) But I have a feeling that nobody here would do that.

And, with your permission... maybe I'll use that armour design in a future character. Fine by me. I didn't invent it, in all honesty. I based it off a picture I saw a while ago, and I modified it a little. But sure, go ahead and use it! ^^

I think Mauve has the Badass Touch. You know, kinda like the Midas Touch? Everything made by her hand turns out badass. Hehehe... Now I have the "Goldfinger" theme song stuck in my head:

"Mauve Maaaage.... The mage with the badass touch!!"

[Mondt]

Due to the recent surge of awesome, I am formally requesting to be drawn, if at all possible. But if ya don't feel like it, y'know just boot me off your list.

Example of me (this is the best I have).
http://img237.imageshack.us/img237/7393/sk3l3t0nspritejz1.png
Just, y'know, in case you didn't know, my persona controls dark (black, dark grey, whatever) fire.Asking for things is awkward!

But yeah. Your pictures are rocking my socks off. Maybe even r0x0r'ing my b0x0rz... Definately.

[mammothtank]

MB: "The things I put up with for power..." is a really quotable line. Nice one.

[Flarecobra]

You know MB, when I saw the "Though walking isn't exactly the right word" like, I was expecting to see my lamia sprites.

After all, my character IS a lamia. She can just shift naturally between human and lamia.

[Premmy]

Fenris: Of course you know this means war.

[Raiden]

Well, Prem. Who ELSE could he use? You know of any other black people on NPF that parade it around as much as you?

Using anyone but you for the part of Samuel L. Jackson would have been a sin. Silly milk chocolate.

For those that find anything about my post offending....meh. Prem and I are cool. Like THIS! *makes a finger wrap...thing.*

[RaiRai]

So, Dark AND Corny, huh? Wow. Never saw that one coming.

[Major Blood]

Newb: Yes, they sure do.

[Nikose Tyris]

am I the only person who sees the irony in that his binary poem was on post 1100?

[Bailey]

I, uhhh, timed it like that.

Sure.

[Flarecobra]

Ah. Took me a second to relize what you ment Rai. The Unmentable Ban-Dodger...

And Newb....it was...well.......interesting.

[Bailey]

I was bored.

Very bored.

This is what happens when I am bored!

Heh. I could see comics coming out now, all written in binary. Or perhaps even hex.

It's all your fault, you know that, right?

[Hatake Kakashi]

Wow, that's incredibly spammy. I wonder if Brian will notice it and give Red Mage some new lines?

[Skyshot]

It's all your fault, you know that, right?Actually, I never would have thought of this (http://img168.imageshack.us/img168/4460/noideaux7.png) had you not said something. Whose fault is it now?

[Loyal]

As your eternal rival, Skyshot, it is my duty to thwart your attempt at confusing everyone! Translation as follows:

Panel one: "Something's weird here."
Panel three: "Mike, come here!"
Panel four: "What?" "Something's weird!"
Panel five: "Oh, for--Mauve!"
Panel six: "Can you fix this?"

Also--Excellent comics, all.

Thanks. I was gonna ask for somebody to do that.

Thanks Loyal! I appreciate it!

[Major Blood]

That loyal drawing is awesome Mauve.

Okay, I accidentally deleted Loyal's pic, but now it's back up. I did some editing on it too... I finally uploaded the darn thing and realized that I had a crapload of stray ink lines on it. Grah!!! Had to upload it ALL OVER AGAIN!!!

Dial-up is evil. But I am forced to serve and love it until school starts back up and I am reunited with university-paid high-speed internets.

[Loyal]

I love it, Mauve! Though I do look a little fat, I can attribute that to my pockets being so blasted full. :p
