Bump in the Night

The speech composition turned out a bit more confusing than I was expecting with this one, so if anyone's having a problem with it, all the tent panels should be read Top Left to Bottom Left to Top Right to Bottom Right.

Also, I didn't really notice this until now, but if you look at the tent in panel 4, you can see that it looks like it's in a pretty good mood.

Welcome to Northhaven

Whew. This one took a while to make, being that I had so much new stuff to draw, as you can see. Something is up with my connection too, since it took well over an hour to actually upload this thing, so that didn't help either. In any event, it's here now. I wanted to do two issues for this, but couldn't come up with a good way to separate them, so just jammed them together into one.

So at last, the anti-heroes reach Northhaven, and the readers get the first real look at the small city. Tune in next time for more Northern hijinks!

Waiting Game

I didn't update yesterday due to a combination of me being busy, tired and lazy. I was thinking of making a pie chart, but half-way through it I realized the laziness quadrant overshadowed all the others, so I gave up.

I See Jerry Springer in Their Future

Ahhh, such a small campaign world, ain't it?

Schrödinger's Dwarf

A late update, but an update nonetheless. I would have liked to get this up sooner, but distractions kept popping up. Oh well, it's here now, and that's all that matters.

Graham Greene Would Be Proud

The joke in the title is kind of obscure, but if you know your literature, then you should be able to get it. I thought it was fairly appropriate.

It's also Mother's Day today. So enjoy it while you still can.

Every Good Lesson Begins With Food

You can't train on an empty stomach, right?

Let's See Batman Do That

A bit of a jump in time, but I didn't really want to spend the entire time showing off every training exercise, and a montage didn't really seem to fit. Anyway, we're here now.

So Lana learns a new skill. The classic "turn into bat" routine, which seems to be a pretty common occurrence in the lore of vampires. And with such a skill, the difficulty curve of writing this comic has just increased once again. A double-edged sword, indeed.

We're also coming up on comic #100 pretty quickly here, and I will say that I have things planned. Big things. Begin your off-the-wall speculation at any time.

At Least He's Honest About It

It's a bad idea to draw characters eating breakfast while you're hungry. It really makes the process that much harder.

Just sayin'.

And No Parties Either

A bit of a later update, but it's May long weekend, so I'm fairly busy. On that note, I don't really have much else to say, so off I go!

Less Than Effective

I bet some of you were going through withdrawal with the lack of an update on Tuesday, but I apologize for my disappearance, so let me explain. I had some problems with my computer (again) just as the weekend ended, and I spent the next few days trying to get them all fixed. Things are working again as I'd like them, so the updates are back on track. If something else happens to interrupt them again, then I'll let everyone know.

Anyway, new issue today, and today is also the official release date of the fourth Indiana Jones movie. Haven't seen it yet, but hopefully I'll be sitting through it tonight. Looks like it might be pretty decent, from what I've read, though I'll have to see for myself.

I Wanna Rock!

So I saw the new Indiana Jones movie... I still don't really know exactly where I stand on it as of yet (might have to watch it again), but I know that it wasn't bad. Maybe I'll write a review for it at some point. But for now, enjoy today's comic.

Moshology

I'm going to see if I can't try and fill out some more of the Extras section of the website in the coming days, so if you're looking for more, check back there every now and then. There might be something to interest you.

Seven Thousand, Three Hundred Twenty to One

A cookie for the first one to figure out what the odds given in the title are for.

Secondly, apologies for the late update today, but I've recently gotten back into playing Warcraft 3, and yes, I'm on Battle.net. Zarah is my screenname, but pretty much the only maps I play are role-playing ones. The classics where you spawn all your units and make up your stories from scratch. They're really great maps if you've got a good imagination and love role-playing. Unfortunately, finding a game on B.net these days is easier said than done.

So, if anyone still pokes around with Warcraft, then maybe we could play an RP map together sometime? There's always a need for more RPers on B.net!

Big Brother Isn't All That Big

So the drama is starting to dial up a bit, and as a bit of a warning, it may be like this for the next arc. Of course, comedy will still be important, but I want to get a lot of story and character development going in the coming weeks as well. So, if you'd rather see pure comedy, sorry to disappoint, but there is a story to tell.

It's Like Wine Tasting

You heard him, he's not manipulative.
