Pinocchio, Ch36, Pgs 3 & 4
A tender moment of sincerity.

edit: had the word balloon in the last panel going to the wrong liar.
So I took most of this week off, as you noticed, after finishing all those FOA's. So have another FOA, I guess! I thought of this one during last week's downtime and just wanted to do it. A new look for the Malefactor and the Agitator.
I thought it'd be nice to do nothing the rest of December, but that's just not how I work. I just played bad games and disliked my choices in life. But I guess a break is...

And that's that on that! And with this, my current FOA streak comes to a pause. All these past strips should keep me updated on CK til the end of January which gives me enough breathing room to enjoy my winter sojourn back to Oklahoma to see my family. As long as nothing needs fixing.
But I still got two weeks to kill before I leave, so I might as well start on that last chapter on Pinocchio, huh?

I'm working ahead, thinkin' about the new year and some FOA shirt designs and one HiaGB shirt that might be fun. First two came to me earlier today. I want to let them simmer and make them better and see what else comes out of the zone. If you got any ideas of designs, types of merch, etc you'd like to see, please let me know. Not even with FOA, it could be cool to offer some old stuff in a new way also. I need to get better at offering stuff for y'all. 2021-12-05 21:42:37 +0000 UTC View Post
Wanted to finish off this one I half-did on thursday. Penultimate strip for this arc.

The original one did not pass the editorial board for publishing on Comics Kingdom, which was obvious in hindsight but still bummed me out. Nonetheless, I rewrote it to be less explicit. The original one will be posted on the archive site eventually, but let CK have this one and hopefully making jokes about religion won't be seen as a no-no either.
I've tried to remain PG-13 at most with the s...

More time spent on this and the last one for obvious reasons. Story is reaching its climax, folks. 3 more left.

Thanksgiving weekend just took it all out of me, but I got the rest of this story arc penciled out, so expect nothin but FOA this week, while I get ahead of my work before I leave for Home for Xmas.

A new little short story for the new year's strips.
EDIT: wanted to change a lot about how this came out as soon as I posted it. was using gradients too much. not enough black in the strip. Didn't sit well with me, so I went back in and just fill tooled and erased. feel better about it now.
Also bounced the naming convention. It's still going to be called "THE FOOL" as I finish it out, but I don't think the need to "present" it is needed. Unlike, say, when we did "Strange...

But, feel free to let me know if a link is wrong, an image is missing, etc. Thank you!

END OF CHAPTER.
Chapter 36 is the final one, folks. And it's comin' in at 31 pages long. It all ends there. Stay tuned for the rest. Still need to get ahead of myself on FOA before my xmas trip back home.
I'll put these last several chapters finally on the website on wednesday for everyone else to read and easier access.

This should close out as the last one to be posted on Comics Kingdom... in 2021! Now I gotta start writing 2022 on all my checks! Cus I'm still goin, babies!!!
edit: and to be clear for people, the final panel is in reference to an all-time scare in the movie "INSIDIOUS".

a new sketchlooks at a recent-ish sketchbook. From the middle of 2019 to 2021. It was more of a personal journal at first, but then it just became a sketchbook. This one is a bit longer than normal and rambly. Have fun out there

This one should come out after Christmas this coming December. If, uh, CK doesn't have an issue with it.

There's only two pages left in this chapter, then it's all downhill as Chapter 36, the last Chapter, goes on and goes hard in finishing the story and Pinocchio... finally learning his lesson? Hoo hoo hoo, you'll just have to wait and see!!

All right, wise folk, back to the program! No more RMVS, no more Booster Shots, No More This is Fine, let's get BACK ON TRACK with PINOCCHIO.

Finally remembered the Candystand mini golf flash game I used to play on my junior high school's computers in time to make this comic. Just wringing out the end of this year with some soft balls.

Weird obsession with baby birds! They're wild beings. Anyway, I wanted to bring these boys back into the fold after "Me & You" sort of fizzled out. There's plenty more room to have fun with them. Just an introduction with Prissy and now more fun can be had.

I woke up at 5am and came up with a better ending for this bit, so here it is. Bit's over! Onto something else. Something more winter themed, I guess, since I'm ahead all the way into December for CK here.

What happened to Geppetto? I know you cared! I know you were wondering! Left out of these pages from the book is a long, LONG, expository bit from Pinocchio catching his dad and the reader up on what just happened to him in the story since they last saw each other. Edited for brevity, let's just say A LOT happened. Read the manga.
Last week was a bit of a dry spell of comics! Had ACtual DMV issues and was just zapped of energy to do anything more. Less so this week! So back on the horse...

Ah! Looks like I did have to change this one after all! And I want to be forthcoming about it as well: People on the CK side had long talks about if using Mallard Fillmore was appropriate for something that happened to the creator years ago. Plus, Bruce T. is a bit of a right-wing nut. When he got his DUI, he used his comic to attack the local judge who gave his sentence and gave Jon...

Could you guess that I am going thru something similar right now? That's right: I'm trying to get all 7 of the Crystal Stars back from the government.
FOA going forward will now be saved at 1000px wide instead of 900px wide.

a rejected comic for da Nib. The theming was "food", so I made a comic about a guy eating KFC and deciding to upsell regular fried chicken on a decadent boutique website.
I only post it to show you the process, warts and all. if it don't work, toss it and move on! learn a lesson from it and don't ruminate on the "what-coulda". You'd just be wasting your own time. Maybe the concept can be recycled into something else, but, eh, I got other things to do!
