157 and Happy New Year!

Well, we're ending this year on a good note.  Two updates in December.  That's a total of 11 for this year -- not bad compared to last year.  My goal for the new year will be at least 13, and try to do two a month as often as I can.  We'll see how that goes.

And the team has a plan now.  Yay!  Surely things can only get better.  *devioussmile*

Just as an aside, I've played a game that glitches.  When you're in the final dungeon, you have the ability to teleport back out and restock on various supplies and healing items.  But if you teleport out once you've reached a certain point in the dungeon . . . you're hosed.  You can walk all the way back, but you can't get back in the door.  No solution.  You have to restart the whole game.  So you understand where Elliot's coming from.  Since he can't just restart his game, he has to get it right the first time.

Tune in next year for more adventures of Kiaron and those other guys!  :D

Well, I missed October due to Halloween costumes, and I missed November due to NaNoWriMo.  My final word count was only about 30,000 words, but that was much better than I did the last few years!

But anyway, I thought it would be great if I could pull off a double update in December.  The month is half over, and here's the first page . . . let's see if I can finish the next page before 2016 rolls around!

Anyway, Kiaron just effectively shut down Elliott's last good argument.  Are the heroes actually going to have to put up with Kiaron?!  Oh noes!!

And that's duct tape, by the way.  ;)

155

And they stood in stunned silence.

I think the walkthrough is good and broken now.

And I think Kiaron is going to be on fire in the next page.



Anyway, this page was delayed because of Halloween costumes.  And because of Halloween costumes, I'm not even going to start page 156 until said costumes are completed. Sorry, but I can only handle so much insanity at once.  I'll post pictures of the costumes though.  :)

Happy Halloween Month everybodies!

154

Sorry this took a little longer, but I had to try to get it just right.

Shocking revelations!  Poor Kiaron!  XD

And now what happens next?

153

Oh, too bad, Kiaron.  You're not as important as you thought you were.

Also, if you were wondering why he didn't just magic explode the heroes into oblivion again, it's because he decided to keep them around a little longer in case he had questions.

He has lots of questions now.  :)

152

Just squeaking this one in.  Yay!

The heroes seem to have developed a problem.  Oh dear.  Whatever will they do?

Also, I've been having fun this month with Habit RPG.  Basically, you enter goals and to-do's, and as you check them off, your little avatar gets experience and gold and stuff.  It's really helping me remember daily things (like watering our plants).  Check it out if you like RPG's, and need help with goals.

151

And, at last, the grand return of Kiaron!! EEEEEEEEeeeeeeeEEEEEeeeee!!!!

Yes, I am excited.  You should be, too!  This will be a fun arc.

Also, my work was delayed by my mouse pointer disappearing.  I could still click on things, but the little pointer graphic just wasn't there.  I didn't want to reboot my computer, so I kept fussing around with various keyboard shortcuts to try things, including changing the mouse pointer theme, changing the screen resolution, and changing how my computer interacts with my second screen.

Finally, I got the pointer to appear on the laptop screen when it was set to duplicate to the second screen.  However, the mouse pointer would only appear on the laptop screen!  I don't understand it, but whatever, the comic is done, so I can reboot my computer now.

I think this laptop is on its way out.  :(  It's served me well, but it's starting to do more strange things, and reboot itself often.  I'd better do a backup tonight.

Page 150!!!1!

Yay, I finished another page.  150, that sounds like some sort of landmark or something . . .Yeah, I don't have anything special to say.  Another transition page, but a necessary one.

Very psyched about this chapter!  Hope I can do it justice (without stressing myself out, haha).

Later!

Whee, I just barely got this one up in March.  No, this isn't an April Fools joke.  I didn't have time for one this year, sorry.

Starting a new chapter!  More Kiaron to come!  Yayayayayay!!!!!1!1!

Okay, time for bed.

148

Once again, I have less than an hour before my self-imposed deadline.  XP  Oh well, I succeeded in doing my minimum one page in February as well.

I have the next ten or so pages scripted.  Fun things ahead.  I just hope that my perfectionism won't get in my way of completing the pages.  It's really interesting how I started this comic with the idea that I would keep the art deliberately simple, but it keeps getting more and more details, and I keep stressing each page so much, trying to get it "perfect."

Anyway, see ya later, alligator!

147

Yay, end of Chad's lovely flashback!  That took forever! :S  (so much fire . . .)

And also, first page of my new year's resolution to do at least one page a month.  Yeah, I really cut it close with this one, but it is still January, and so it counts!  It's not even midnight! ;)

Maybe we can find Kiaron again by my birthday?  That would be nice . . .
