Sketch request #140

Go watch One-Punch Man if you haven't already.  It's goofy and unexpectedly good!

The story of young Kiela and her misguided time at magic academy begins...

Getting out there

If you got it, flaunt it!  Also, Amber and her invisible race car :3

Childhood trauma

The root of Wolf's fears about girls, revealed.  Steph must've made quite an impression.

Also, random callback to an old comic, because Jan and Amber had nothing better to do.

When the one in trouble realizes the one they're in trouble with is also in trouble with them...

No billing cycle for September; battery recharge; submit sketch requests/AMA questions

Hey all,

I have paused the Patreon billing cycle for September.  You will not be charged this month.

Due to Covid canceling summer holiday plans, I found myself working nonstop for 8 months straight and in real need of a break.  However, I'm going to spread out the rest days over the next 4 months, to the effect of having one week off each month.  Tentative update schedule: Nine to Nine = 3 times a month, S&S = once every 3 weeks.  However that works out :)...

Explosé

... Beach ball!  She meant to say beach ball!

Where did he even get the explosives *from?*  Granddad's ACME stash in the basement?

Anyone remember the fusion reactor?  At least the newer iteration of it? --> Part 1, part 2

Momma Dragon receives a nice popsicle!  I want one.  I'm absolutely melting here...

Sketch request #139

I apologize the next S&S update will be a day or two late.  It's been one of those weeks where the art simply hasn't been flowing well.

So to make up for that, here's an AMA from last year's Halloween grab-bag (because why not).  Sometimes it's hard to distinguish overworked office workers from zombies ;3

Rocketeers

Steph builds rockets.  Fina rocketed past those few years in grade school no problem (I still remember the 12-year old in my college multivariate calculus class).  In an unsurprising revelation, Wolf transformed the broom closet into a rocket engine.

Edit: art fixed

Design goals

Some things do stuff.  Some things do stuff in space.

Medley pizza

I've been told this is a convention survival tactic: Take one (1) frozen convenience store pizza, and top it with whatever snacks (preferably meat or protein, but not always) you can find from said convenience store. Heat in-store in their microwave, and enjoy 10,000% of your daily requirement of sodium in one meal XD

Dragon attack, spit-take edition :P  Also, magical kitty is magical!

(The colors may look a bit wonky since I did this at home on a monitor that doesn't have the correct calibration.  When I have a chance to get back to my studio -- hopefully next week -- I'll fix the color issues.)

Door-to-floor delivery

If you've ever ventured out of a convention for food, just know, all nearby restaurants are likely already chock-full.  However, if you don't mind lowering the bar, possibilities open up... ;)

Auction

Sorry for the late post, it's been one of those weeks...

Commence the bidding wars!  You know things aren't going well when Jessie is the one trying to keep things under control.

Bun hunt - page 27

Petting dragons pays!  I guess Kiela should give up her day job? :P

Surveillance

Jessie gets pounced for the first time!  She seems uncertain about this.  Originally, she was going to make a remark about noticing Jan with back pain in the office, but then Amber said "BUTT" and stole the panel.

I realized the banner text got squished.. it reads: "Doc's T.E.T.R.I.S.: Tasty Experimental Tonic: Refreshingly Intensive Stimulant (with caffeine)"

Today's cameos feature: Kouroth, Moonfrost, Daet Wolfaur, Marcwolf, and of course, Sandy and Pirta from The Whit...

Fuzz testing

That feeling when your invention crashes so badly due to unpredictable input and interference that it seems reasonable to power down the entire convention, yes.  More reasonable than, you know, yanking out the battery pack :B

(The comic was originally going to be about programmers vs. user expectations, but I thought of the punchline at the last minute and it seemed more foreboding. Hopefully it works out...

Bun hunt - page 26

Back to town!  Like any good frequent traveler in a hurry, Silver presents her "Fast pass" ;)  Or shall we say, "Flash pass"...?

Known issues

No software is perfect.  Some less so than others :P

Today's cameos feature: Nee Knight, Professor Hoots, Southpaw Fox,  Tylywodraethuara, Gregory & Sandra Harris, RobbieThe1st, Mako, and Alan Walker.

New and improved

It's the Nap Box Mk. 5 feature list!  If it weren't for these improvements, things would've ended badly!

Today's cameos feature: Francis, Marcello, Tanner Fawkes, Anubis, Sniperwolf, Jade, Q-dk, Robbie W, Muddypaws, Scetchlee, and Spazzmatt.

Sorry for the late comic; public holiday last week nudged the schedule off one day.

Bun hunt - page 25

Snoot-booping takes priority over all other things!  Boop!

Buyers beware

Another Nap Box kidnapping (kittynapping?)!  Important questions go unanswered! XD

I was conflicted whether to censor the Tetris pieces with Tetris-shaped censor bars, but they're obviously just Tetris pieces...

One slightly hidden cameo for Zefiro, if you can figure out what's going on.

Bun hunt - page 24

Follow the bouncing [fox] [boobs] PINEAPPLE!

Silver thinks fast, but it looks like she'll need to think fast again...

Edit: Okay, so the [strikeout text] didn't work on the post XD

The back room

They've found the other dealer's room XD  What purchasing decisions do they face now?

Today's cameos feature: FreyFox ( read his comic at http://transmission.thecomicseries.com/ ), Rajiv, Zefiro, Sartharina, Lika, Dinah, and Barbara.

Business as usual

Dealer's room happenings!  Whee!  There are so many details within that I needed to upload this in higher resolution.  See if you can spot all the jokes ;)

Today's webcomic cameos, from top left to bottom right, are:

• Slack Wyrm http://www.joshuawright.net/
• Langley, Roxie, and Charity from The Suburban Jungle: Rough Housing 2020-06-04 09:57:28 +0000 UTC View Post

AMA #82

I wasn't able to complete the next 9t9 this week, so here's an AMA to make up.  There's also an updated After Nine #5 in the WIP section of the site (log in first) (NSFW!)

Keen-eyed readers may have spotted AMA #82 was missing from the archives.  I sketched it... was never happy with it... then forgot about it?  Anyhoo, I c...

Bun hunt - page 23

Pulley physics are a recurring theme.  As are rogues screwing up their one job :P

Armed with a pineapple, how would you fetch a rabbit from beneath a dragon having a very bad day?

Overwhelming

Cons can be quite overwhelming, whether it's your first time or not!  They also have the ability to bankrupt you if you're not careful!

Today's cameos: Fanir, Labris (hidden), Reynard (hidden), Szymon, Rufus Black, and the Bad Furry.

(N.B. Hidden cameos won't count towards your cameo appearances.  Everyone will get at least one face shot.)

Kitty collector

Nap Boxes are on the run and collecting victims/test subjects!  Oh, look... a gap's conveniently opened up in the line...

Today's cameos feature: Sereina, Oseola, Mooncat, Crystal Davis, Kubulai, Matiobre and Mariobre.

Edit: art and credits fixed :3

Also, a bonus sketch of what it might've looked like the behind-the-scenes when the Tor and Andrea were filming the previous S&S page.  Does most of the S&S budget go towards buying giant custom-made plush drago...
