All this mostly makes me think I need to be working more on the CLIMACTIC ADVENTURE of my own D&D campaign; it involves a lot of centaurs and a vineyard probably burning down is all I can say
I am not crazy about the inking in that last panel, but I wrote and penciled these D&D comics like ACTUALLY LITERALLY A YEAR AGO (posting this on September 10, 2014) and am glad they are finally done
Ha ha that Cathy is such an asshole
If you are not hip to the conversation, this owes much to the best Chick tract there is.
I swear I will one day post comics at a regular rate, as soon as I figure out to not have it just be another job I do in addition to my job
I’m really curious about what character class / race combo Mona is even playing here, honestly, but I would also like to play this character maybe
This one is just crude / my favorite part is the idea that they make Cathy DM for this kinda stuff. Having DMed weird creepy situations and BEEN A PLAYER in weird creepy situations, I do not know how she would handle it, though I guess with quiet resignation?
I dig Inez’s pants too, even though it’s more a casualty of this world only being rendered currently in two colors for Reasons than like she’s *actually* wearing yellow pinstripe pants probably
Okay there are gonna be a couple more D&D strips and then we move on to converting the like twenty gazillion scripts I’ve been sitting on most of this year into whimsies for y’all
(oh crap i published a book also, it’s over on the sidebar, or you can pick up a copy here! you can also listen to a recording of me singing Born to Run with chiptune accompaniment by K Carter on that site if you’re down for that kinda thing) (I am even though I’m not a great singer) (but I have HEART, I think) (moxie)
This is some basic D&D whimsy, but (1) I like the idea of starting a magnets business for some reason, and (2) for some reason it’s always really charming to me when Cathy and Betty have conversations! I don’t know why!
There are more strips in this series and I will do new strips eventually. The “publish dates” are just gonna have increasingly little to do with the “actually completed dates” and that’s just the New Normal I guess
I wonder if comic strips about D&D/roleplaying games generally are one day going to be as inscrutable to future generations as I dunno, golf strips are to mine; I wonder if they are already? It was pretty inevitable that this was going to happen though. I like Cathy’s hat a bunch here (I have a monochrome version of same, for special occasions.)
This inaugurates a fun short storyline about dice rolling and such
We end our PRODUCTION SCHEDULE for 2012 on a Dungeons and Dragons joke, the surest route to INTERNET IMMORTALITY
I hope everyone has enjoyed these comics so far! I have a lot of plans for them! If you like these kinds of whimsical comic strips about the follies of child-rearing and of being a child, you should stick around! If you hate these kinds of whimsical comic strips about the follies of child-rearing and of being a child, you should also stick around! Maybe I will surprise you! Maybe something terrible will happen to all these people! Maybe something wonderful will happen! Who can say?
I wish you well in 2013! THE YEAR OF THE WATER SNAKE.
This is for The Party, who had to contend with a gelatinous cube and a quasit last week, and who are going to have to navigate a hellish maze Tuesday night. Stay strong in your hearts!
I’m making progress on the new longer project I’ve been pokily working on for a couple years now. Here is a PREVIEW IMAGE:
The pages are all penciled and it’s a little shy of half done on the inks. Once I finish it, the next non-regularly-updated comics project is the MWHF conclusion. SOON, FRIENDS
Also: dear New Yorkers! The excellent team behind Word Up Community Bookstore requires YOUR HELP to find a new permanent location! This is a new independent bookstore, shocking in this day and age to begin with, and located in the Washington Heights neighborhood. If I’m not mistaken, it’s pretty much the only bookstore in that neighborhood, and in the wake of terrible hurricanes, it’s more necessary than ever before. I saw Junot Diaz read there and he rocked the place. HELP THEM OUT! The worst that can happen is that you will get a book for your troubles.
New comic Thursday if all things go well!
