Update!

Uncategorized: May 23rd, 2007

Page 14 done. Thirteen proves how badass he is by putting out a magic candle with his fingers. He’s wearing leather gloves though. Cheater.
You may have noticed the little box to your left informing you about the update schedule. This is a most clever device to tell people that yes, we’re updating, no, we’ve not […]

So I’ve decided to go ahead and give you guys weekly updates. I’m just not drawing enough to update the story every week, so I’m at least going to give you an update of the progress of the story every weekend.
Page 15 is coming along nicely, and it looks like I’ll be able to keep […]

Your friendly neighborhood cephalopod

Uncategorized: June 9th, 2007

Riess is making some excellent progress on the next page. If I recall correctly, once I explained the idea for it fully, complete with my own crude sketches, he replied “You’re going to make me draw all that, aren’t you.” But he liked the idea, I could tell.
Something else we’re working on is another site […]

As the crow flies

Uncategorized: June 17th, 2007

The description for this page I had in our working script was
A SERIES
OF
DYNAMIC
PANELS
TRANSPORTS US
TO
THE ACADEMY!
It came down from seven panels to five, but while I was initially thinking of streets and alleyways with the odd glimpse of larger buildings on the skyline, somehow it came out to be this large sweeping thing. Well, probably […]

And another week has passed

Uncategorized: July 2nd, 2007

My. Good thing this isn’t a weekly comic at this point, or I’d totally missed this week’s deadline. I was distracted with shiny video games and completely forgot to work on the newest page for a while. Still, I finished the “pencilling” stage on the weekend, and the finish shouldn’t be too far off. Good […]

“At first I thought ‘We start with four dozen and get rid of a dozen every year so that’s 12 graduates at the end,’ but then a dozen didn’t look like enough so I made it 25.”
–Riess, explaining the number of graduates in the class. 
Maybe I’m the only one amused that there was a great […]

AIIIEEEEE.

Wow.
Didn’t think I’d make the deadline this time.
Yes, it’s my own fault of course. “Yeah, I’ll work on the page tomorrow.”  “Too hot right now.” “It’s still a week left, right?” Hooray for procrastination. But I came back, with the full might of a caffeine-crazed, jazz-driven artist on the last day before deadline, and, with […]

I know what you’re going to say.

Uncategorized: September 9th, 2007

I missed an Update. There was one scheduled in August. No page went up. I have no excuses, justifications or reasons that you’d want to hear. I know you don’t really care what exactly kept me from drawing.
Instead I give you another page, three more weeks later, as if nothing happened. I also hereby deny […]

Julember, or my own apologies

Uncategorized: September 10th, 2007

I had something written earlier to keep our 2-5 loyal readers entertained, it turned out to need heavy rewriting and then I never got around to it. I will get around to it.
I have proposed to Riess that in lieu of comic updates we post pictures of what we’re doing in the theoretically weekly wordpress […]

Intrablag

Uncategorized: September 25th, 2007

We’ve fiddled with the site just a bit, prompted by this horror to finally move from Google ads. Additionally we’ve gotten this little image miniblag up on the right. Later this will do more stuff, right now it’s just a reminder that we’re up to different things. Riess might use this to show off WIP […]
