When a webcomic updates but you don't want to make a huge deal out of it, what you do - Page 121

The President in Doctor McNinja is pretty fantastic. The EXECUTIVE POWER karate kick was great.

Get that in my house.

Re: Gunnerkrigg--

Uh oh. Mentioning a secret experiment and Surma's pregnancy in the same sentence? I get the feeling I'm going to start hating Tony again.

Too lazy to make a thread about this so posting it here. Doctor McNinja will be ending soon, somewhere near October.

News announcement here.

Quote of the news announcement here:

Quote:

I really blew it on preparing a nice blog post officially announcing this, but I don’t want to leave anyone wondering what’s going on while the current story title is hanging out there all “THIS IS IT EVERYBODY.”

Yes, I’m afraid it’s the beginning of the end for this comic. (Though, secretly it’s been happening since All the King’s Dirtbikes finished up. WHICH IS IN A BOOK NOW, BTW) I’ll have more to say on it in the next couple of days, but a couple quick points for now that haven’t exactly been a secret:

- I only wanted to do Dr. McNinja for 10 years, and that’ll officially be in October. (Not counting the time I spent on it before going full blast webcomic)

- The story’s been building up toward this for quite some time, and honestly I think it’s the only place it CAN go now.

- This whole thing will probably actually take quite a while. I don’t know exactly how long, but it certainly won’t be over in October. I won’t be neatly hitting the 10 year mark, because there’s a lot of stuff I want to get in before turning out the lights.

More soon,

-Christopher

PS: Thanks for reading! I have always appreciated your enjoyment of this comic, whether you just started yesterday, or back in 2005.

I'm not sure I will be able to handle a lack of ninja doctor in my life.

Finally, time to catch up with the Ninja (who is also a Doctor). All the King's Dirtbikes is exactly when I quit following every update. Guess my finely tuned storytelling instincts knew they were building up to something that'd read better in one sitting. (Why couldn't that have happened with Homestuck?)

Also, I approve of comics that end. Keeping it fresh and tight and other hip-hop buzzwords.

In other news, Tony Carver is acting more and more like a human. Still an asshole dad, though. He might have been screwed over by the Court, and by the laws of physics, but to me it sounds like he did worse to himself. And he calls Surma proud.

The following Dr. McNinja strips must be read to the tune of the following song, or others as the tone of the comic shifts.

So, how about that threatened end of the world and falling Belkar?

OotS, man.

Re: Gunnerkrigg, I have to admit, it seems like I was wrong. I'm still not entirely sure that Tony didn't or doesn't have some idea of what he's doing. Harsh, kind of jerk-like, but still. I could be wrong.

... and I don't think Tony is proud. I don't think he's proud at all. I think he's ashamed*, and trying to sublimate that with making his daughter awesome.

* ... but only able to show it in front of his friend.

Did point out abit of an oversight. If the gods are so worried, why not mobilize their vast armies of clerics and paladins?

Would you want to feed The God-Killing Big Bad vast armies of clerics and paladins?

After all, this is what it's capable of.

Sadly, the link doesn't work. I'm not sure why?
