"What a dumb place for a window." -- King, probably

Someday, the princess will lead the revolution against her father's kingdom.

Thanks for being patient with the late page. I streamed the coloring process earlier today; you may watch it here: https://www.twitch.tv/cartoonwolf/videos/all

Patreon rewards update:

I've added a postal address field for the $3 and $10 reward tiers...

AMA #97

Here's the much-requested front view of tinsel-clad Jessie :3c

Gifts

And here is the finished comic :3  Jessie's tinsel-only pic coming up next; S&S page will be a bit late due to post-holiday scheduling & catch-up.  I hope you all had a good rest!

Gifts (draft)

I will be away next week, but was unable to get the comic done, so here is the rough draft.

Amber receives two more video cards, Jan receives a bottle of cleanser, Phil is distracted by a carrot, Andrea is tied up in tinsel, and Wolf prepares to pop an oversized Christmas cracker.

Decorating

Jessie discovers tinsel!  And promptly has the wrong idea >_>

Happy Holidays everyone! ^^  Thank you for supporting my comics as always; you're the best!

Painting

First thing to go wrong with Jessie's Christmas party: letting her create the decor...

Of course, I couldn't resist a joke about censor bars, so here it is: https://www.tigerknight.com/99/99147a.jpg

Which version should I post up on the main site? ;)

Curse - page 16

King Bunneh escapes and break dances!  Or at least, tries to ;) Meanwhile, the visiting Sevenshore dignitaries get a tour of the royal's questionable painting collection, and the royal children get a new pet.

So yeah, technically, the dignitaries did get to meet the King, though not in the form they were expecting X3

What do you think of this 3-row page format?  I kinda like it for its semblance to traditional Sunday newspaper comics.  I can fit more pane...

Patreon pledge fee changes retracted!

Good news, we did it!  You should've received an email newsletter from Patreon saying they are *not* rolling out the fee changes.  Thank you everyone for sending Patreon feedback, staying put and not jumping ship, and thank you to those of you who reinstated your pledges.  You guys are the best <3

I am going to send Patreon some additional ideas for improving their pledge/ch...

What's with the new Patreon fee? Thoughts & mitigation

I received an email yesterday -- as did you, today, about Patreon restructuring their fees such that:

• Starting 18-Dec, you (patrons) will now have to pay a transaction fee of 2.9%+$0.35 *per pledge*
• Creators no longer shoulder that transaction fee, *supposedly* increasing our income

Patreon's official FAQ is here: https://patreon.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/artic...

Pogo stick

Wolf + pogo stick + energy drink = why there was a cell phone outage in the city last week

Background cameos this week: EJ Husky, Tizger, Dmitriy, Mits, GalloViking, Sereina, TomRedlion, LionkingCMSL, and Stubat

Next week, we get into the holiday spirit.  What say the gang has their Christmas party at Jessie's place?  What could possibly go wrong?  Give me ideas below!

In other news, I shall post my thoughts on the new Patreon fee structure shortly.  (Spoiler: I...

S&S contributors' comic - page 6 colored

I need to buy more time to polish up the S&S script, so in the meantime, here's the next page of the contributors' comic!  In case Patreon resizes the image, here is the large version: http://files.tigerknight.net/contrib-2016-6.jpg

The magically unicorn-barf-colored wormhole crashes through The Class Menagerie and 2017-12-04 09:34:11 +0000 UTC View Post

Nyoom!

Wolf's pretty good with his guesstimation :)

Featuring (left to right):
Daet Wolfuar, MuddyPaws, Sasha, Panther, Stefan, Madcatina, Tali, and Jessie.

(Above cameo spotters, let me know if there are any changes needed on your characters.)

(Also, Tor broke the censor bars, so they're temporarily out of service.)

Spin up

The votes are in.  Wolf does the demo...

And the emergency stop button created an emergency it couldn't stop ;)

Give me ideas of where the salad spinner should land!  The more awkward, the better.

Improvements

That looks safe ;)

What happens next? Should Wolf run away? http://www.strawpoll.me/14426070

The King is not having a good day...

Sketchup

For those wondering about the "graph":

https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=f(x)%3Dsin(x)*cos(x^2)

This idea came from me drawing ketchup parametric equations on hash browns and then realizing I'm a hopeless geek :\

Curse - page 14

Whew!  And ooooh!

Pledge/reward fine tuning - feedback wanted

So I've been pondering... (no TL;DR this time, they're all questions)

1. For the $10 reward level supporters: you are the biggest supporters of my comics, but I'm starting to feel a little nervous about not having cameo slots regularly enough!  I noticed a number of supporters edit their pledge down to a lower level, which is totally fine, but then edit them back up again.  I feel like there is pressure for me to create an intermediate level that "unlocks" the cameos that isn't as hi...

Curse - page 13

Tor's nightmare fuel.  One, seeing Silver go savage.  Oh and, two, where she might be in an incident involving a giant axe...

Panel 6 is also special.  Can you see why? ^^

Rack

Phil doesn't get it ^^

He's probably thinking, "Hmm, that's convenient."

Second thoughts

Snuggle time interrupted by benefit-cost ratio question.

Hangover

Fun with sleeping people.  How much can you balance on them before they come to?

I've always had this idea where Andrea builds model railways around sleeping people.  Here's the first time I get to use it :)

And if you're not familiar, the last panel is a direct reference to The Suburban Jungle. Hi, Gneech! ^^

Submit your AMA questions!

It looks l won't be able to complete enough Nine to Nine comics to cover my 2-week absence, so please submit your AMA questions below.  I have 2 16-hour flights ahead of me, so keep me occupied :)

Wasabied

It's not been a good day for stripey cats :P

Curse - page 11 (revised)

Oh, they'll break something all right ^^

This is the last of the revised pages and is scheduled to go up on 24-Sep.  The next one is scheduled for 8-Oct (while I am away), but you will have early access.

Wasabi

That's one way to wake up a sleeping tiger.  Inspired by the wasabi alarm featured on the Ig Nobels a few years back :)

Curse - page 10 (revised)

Silver used flash.  It's super effective!  No need for a perception check this time ;)

Radioactive

Pretty soon, Tor's gonna have a glow stick of his own :P

Also, the dialogue bubble obscures it, but Andrea is pushing one of those shopping carts with the plastic car in the front for the kids.
