Q&A August 2024
Added 2024-08-13 18:27:46 +0000 UTCI haven't done one of these in a while, if you have any questions, ask away! Keep it civil though!
Also in general if you have any feedback, you can put them here too!
Comments
It's something what I've been thinking, but been on a backburner. There's some other things I would like to get out at first, there's a book coming out at one point and hopefully getting a plush out too soon!
Marko Raassina
2024-08-15 17:00:18 +0000 UTCIt's one big arc I've been thinking about, hopefully I'll get it started this year perhaps
Marko Raassina
2024-08-15 16:01:18 +0000 UTCAre Nerd and Tiger ever gonna have an actual date?
Todd Donerson II
2024-08-14 21:52:55 +0000 UTCHad to scroll to the bottom to see if this had been asked. Firstly, thank you so much for the content. I don't think I've ever subbed to a patreon faster. Will there be any potential merchandise down the line? Nothing crazy, but like, stickers, shirts, hoodies, etc? I would love for more ways to support one of my favorite creators, and rocking Nerd and Tiger stuff would be so rad. Thanks again!

2024-08-14 17:58:22 +0000 UTCRight now I just want to keep the main four as the main group, maybe one day if I come up some new and popular characters, I could put them into group. Queen will stay around as an antagonist for now.
Marko Raassina
2024-08-14 15:00:06 +0000 UTCAny plans for new future characters to become permanent members of the gang? Also will queen stay around and if so what do you see her role being
Justin
2024-08-14 13:46:52 +0000 UTCNo.
Marko Raassina
2024-08-14 09:31:16 +0000 UTCDon't you think it's a bit of disservice, to put watermark on PAID CONTENT? I know art thieves are a problem but come on.
David
2024-08-14 09:18:25 +0000 UTCThanks for your compliments and character idea!
Marko Raassina
2024-08-14 04:58:17 +0000 UTCI have no idea, well Nerd's favorite was in that one arc from last year, was it mango-pear?
Marko Raassina
2024-08-14 04:53:04 +0000 UTCNerd and Olga probably like something Metal, Tiger something girly pop. Don't know about Jock, maybe his favorite "music" is listening sounds of explosions.
Marko Raassina
2024-08-14 04:51:02 +0000 UTCI have a different name for him, maybe Theodore can be his middle name
Marko Raassina
2024-08-14 04:49:47 +0000 UTCThey have full names, I'm just not sure how to introduce them, or will it ruin the mystery. I kinda like the characters now being the same so not sure how to show them older, but I kinda want to make a comic where they're seniors at one point maybe
Marko Raassina
2024-08-14 04:49:27 +0000 UTCDelinquent tomboy tropes mostly
Marko Raassina
2024-08-14 04:41:28 +0000 UTCThe first comic, most likely. Maybe something else if I come up with it later
Marko Raassina
2024-08-14 04:40:52 +0000 UTCDunno what this means, the series is, and always will be fairly innocent
Marko Raassina
2024-08-14 04:38:45 +0000 UTCMaybe just heavy injures
Marko Raassina
2024-08-14 04:38:13 +0000 UTCI don't really remember, I just liked drawing as a kid and then never stopped
Marko Raassina
2024-08-14 04:36:52 +0000 UTCWe kinda saw her as a kid in that one exclusive episode, from last year, the Peanuts one
Marko Raassina
2024-08-14 04:36:25 +0000 UTCWill we see how Tiger was like in her youth?
Miy Eterp
2024-08-14 04:21:03 +0000 UTCwhat was your main inspiration that made you start drawing?
Uniternity
2024-08-14 03:24:45 +0000 UTCHas tiger killed anyone? Also, is she a convict considering her past with gangs?
IronClaw
2024-08-14 02:48:12 +0000 UTCWill Jock and Olga or Nerd and Tiger go...even further with their respective relationships?
JT
2024-08-14 01:33:19 +0000 UTCHow did Nerd and Jock first meet?
Uketa Colbert
2024-08-13 23:42:53 +0000 UTCWhat's your inspiration for tiger?
Purple_knife
2024-08-13 23:11:05 +0000 UTCDo the characters have full names and will we see the Gang grow up like a future joke or something comic with Jock and Olga and Nerd and Tiger with their kids.
Alastor The Jester
2024-08-13 22:46:07 +0000 UTCCan nerd’s name be Theodore? I can’t see him being anything other than a Theodore.
TheHumanPerson9753
2024-08-13 22:43:41 +0000 UTCWhat are the four protags favorite ice cream/sundae?
Juggy Duck
2024-08-13 22:18:56 +0000 UTCWhat type of music does each character like?
CATHERINE RUIZ
2024-08-13 22:02:18 +0000 UTCHer family must be one of the richest families in the world. Fun fact, Olga's family is pretty wealthy too
Marko Raassina
2024-08-13 20:25:57 +0000 UTCHi Marko, big fan of your work. I absolutely love your stories about everyone’s favorite ragtag team of stereotype-breakers. Now you mentioned in another comment that you had some new characters in development, right? I actually have an idea for one, if you’re interested. His name is DJ and he’s a musician like Deadmau5, but he’s actually very shy and timid in any other scenario.
Nico Morales
2024-08-13 20:23:36 +0000 UTCJock most likely likes Cpt. America or Hulk, Nerd likes Batman, Olga likes Spawn. Don't know about Tiger, she likes more of something pink and cutesy instead of super heroes
Marko Raassina
2024-08-13 20:16:52 +0000 UTCMost likely not, she isn't really a team player. Maybe something that involves violence like boxing would be suitable for her
Marko Raassina
2024-08-13 20:15:15 +0000 UTCI have some ideas, but again it's just kinda away from making the future stuff, I guess I just kinda want to keep moving forward
Marko Raassina
2024-08-13 20:14:31 +0000 UTCIt was just kinda a happy accident, made that first comic, it blew up and the rest is history! Finland is a very nice place to live
Marko Raassina
2024-08-13 20:13:45 +0000 UTCWhats a question you want me to ask?
Spencer Schroeppel
2024-08-13 20:09:44 +0000 UTCIs there a known net worth of Queen/her family/her source of income? If so, do you think she’d one day buy the world to try to get nerd?
PersonaLegends
2024-08-13 20:08:25 +0000 UTCAre the characters Marvel fans or DC fans? Any of them have any favorite superheroes/comic characters?
JT
2024-08-13 20:01:59 +0000 UTCDoes tiger play any sports?
Basic-Account
2024-08-13 19:50:44 +0000 UTCThey're all 18, not sure who is youngest-oldest. Might introduce more characters, I have some ideas but not entirely sure what their role will be. It's something which might take a while since there's lot of characters in the series already
Marko Raassina
2024-08-13 19:48:49 +0000 UTCDo you think you'll dive into N&J's past? I think that'd be fun (Also love the comics, huge inspiration for me, keep doin what you do!)
Onaminiax
2024-08-13 19:48:06 +0000 UTCIt being my job
Marko Raassina
2024-08-13 19:47:45 +0000 UTCI've been thinking about it, but at the same time it would be kind of a hassle to try to run a server, mostly the moderating part...
Marko Raassina
2024-08-13 19:47:22 +0000 UTCThank you very, very much for your support, all you guys make this possible!
Marko Raassina
2024-08-13 19:34:22 +0000 UTCNot sure, right now I want to keep her as an antogonist
Marko Raassina
2024-08-13 19:33:41 +0000 UTCWhat was it that inspired your idea for the nerd and Jock comic series? Also what's it like in the land of Nokia phones?
The One True Moe
2024-08-13 19:32:53 +0000 UTCIt has already happened few times
Marko Raassina
2024-08-13 19:32:15 +0000 UTCI wonder...
Marko Raassina
2024-08-13 19:31:50 +0000 UTCYou can go download it from Webtoons, from that episode
Marko Raassina
2024-08-13 19:24:09 +0000 UTCAt one point, I had some talks about it but it's been on a backburner
Marko Raassina
2024-08-13 19:23:05 +0000 UTCWill Jock ever win a water fight?
Matthew Morrissey
2024-08-13 19:21:41 +0000 UTCWill Jock & Nerd-Comics stay so innocent or will Nerd & Tiger kiss? ;)
Elster
2024-08-13 19:21:32 +0000 UTCI feel that it's fine as it is, little bit naughty
Marko Raassina
2024-08-13 19:21:24 +0000 UTCProbably not, I like to keep the series separated
Marko Raassina
2024-08-13 19:21:00 +0000 UTCHave you thought opening up a pateron chat so fans can talk or an official Nerd and Jock discord, if there is one can I have a link?
ABtheButterfly
2024-08-13 19:19:51 +0000 UTCdon't have any question and just wanna say, you're awesome, big fan of your comic, thank you for making such a wholesome comic for us!
potterhsu
2024-08-13 19:18:44 +0000 UTCI’ve wondered about this too
Basic-Account
2024-08-13 19:15:33 +0000 UTCMaybe one day!
Marko Raassina
2024-08-13 19:09:47 +0000 UTCThere's a big Facebook page who uses my name, report it if you have an account
Marko Raassina
2024-08-13 19:09:22 +0000 UTCWill Queen eventually join the Gang ?
Sovereign16
2024-08-13 19:08:44 +0000 UTCWhat's the coolest part about being an artist?
Christopher Perez
2024-08-13 19:08:39 +0000 UTCIn my secret stash
Marko Raassina
2024-08-13 19:08:37 +0000 UTCYou mean Patreon stretch goals? I haven't seen that option in years, maybe they removed it. But in general, I guess i don't really have anything new in plans, been happy with what I've been doing right now. But there might be time in the future that I might shake things up in some way.
Marko Raassina
2024-08-13 19:07:16 +0000 UTCNot right now, but there's still time before October
Marko Raassina
2024-08-13 19:05:58 +0000 UTCDo you have any ideas for the Halloween or horror themed comics for Jock and Nerd?
Louis valdez
2024-08-13 19:02:00 +0000 UTCHave any stretch goals moving forward? And is there anything you don't/wouldn't like to see in Fanart?
Zanso
2024-08-13 19:01:26 +0000 UTCThe main characters are in college, what are their ages? (Oldest to youngest) Do you plan on introducing other, not main, but reappearing characters like Queen? Maybe a stereotypical cool guy?
JT
2024-08-13 18:56:02 +0000 UTCLove that series too!
Haasenater
2024-08-13 18:54:39 +0000 UTCInteresting!

Novikous
2024-08-13 18:42:08 +0000 UTCIn the last posts you mentioned someone who is stealing your content and impersonating you, could you give us more information about that? We can alert fans to report their pages.

Xander64
2024-08-13 18:34:37 +0000 UTCIs there a way or place you recommend to read Nerd and Jock in order? I became a patron last month after enjoying some strips on Facebook, but I can tell there are storylines I've missed.
Scott Maitland
2024-08-13 18:34:35 +0000 UTCDo you ever plan on making a body swap story in any of your comics such as Nerd and Jock or My Girlfriend is an Orc Warlord?
Expiredbread12
2024-08-13 18:33:56 +0000 UTCHave you ever considered making sexiest strip of the orc gf ?
nonogt
2024-08-13 18:33:48 +0000 UTCHave you thought about opening commissions? For example, people paying you to draw something they want or paying you to draw your characters the way people want?
Star Lombax
2024-08-13 18:30:59 +0000 UTCDo you have a compilation book of nerd and jock? If not, are you planning on making one in the future?
