You know, I've been meaning to work up some new flyer designs for a while now... but then stuff like this happens and I feel like I need to cling to since it's my "thing" now. Granted, I still haven't come up with anything as memorable as "NOTICE THIS FLYER" anyway, so I won't be changing things anytime soon.
This is something that always seems to be weird about Anime USA at the Wardman: we always have to share the space with other events. You know, the kind of events that would NORMALLY be in a swanky hotel on the expensive side of our nation's capitol. Bankers and businessmen and government organizations and stuff like ...

Just for the record, that was Charles Dunbar leaping onto the stage like a gazelle, and Kate Oxley springing from the shadows. It's never a dull moment at AUSA Opening Ceremonies, always watch your back!

...and I was so good about getting stuff drawn at-con during AWA, too! What happened? Well, I'm sure that part of it was the fact that I hadn't already DONE a whole AWA's worth of comics before the con, so I had a lot more creative energy on tap. That kinda helps a LOT.

So, who would have ever guessed that I'd end up getting about TWO MONTHS WORTH of comics out of a silly little show like ServantXService? I sure as heck didn't, but here we are! Buuuuut this is where we finally wrap it up. Hope you all liked this batch of comics!
Anyway, weekly comics will go on hold for mayb...

*deep breath* Hang tight, folks. This is gonna be a long one.
It's been a while since I did any kind of a "here's what's going on" update... mostly because it's been a while since I did ANY kind of update beyond the weekly Conventional Wisdom comics. And that's a big part of why I needed to go ahead and w...

Doing AWA and AUSA back to back, and trying to make stuff to sell at both of them (on top of a month that was bu...

HOLY CRAP, am I seriously STILL posting stuff tonight? (well, more like "this morning" but you know) YUP! I'd thought about postponing the weekly anime comic since, you know, I'd already posted a whole batch of AWA comics, but NAW! I've spent the past few months postponing virtually every other Patreon-related ...

What is it with AWA and me losing my voice?
Well, that's all the extra comics, but you sure won't have to wait long for more. I'll be hitting the road for Anime USA in... a couple of hours, really. I... um... should probably get some sleep, huh?
Don't worry, I found her again after I DID put the costume on. Still, that was pretty dang annoying, ESPECIALLY after I'd already missed out on that Digimon photoshoot.
On the one hand, I feel kind of lazy having resorted to copy/paste in that last panel rather than actually trying to draw a more realistic version of the characters in an action scene. But on the other hand, I think the sheer awfulness of it is the single funniest part of the comic! ...But seriously, was the dude jus...

I will never get tired of this joke, no matter how tired other people get of me using this joke.
That said, it was probably a mistake to use a JoJo pose where one of the characters covers his face in an instance where the only giveaway that these are supposed to be different characters is the beard. Oh well, this is why ...

Instant Edgy Satire: just add Grave of the Fireflies reference.
After all that complaining in the previous couple of pages, I feel like I need to restate that I did actually like ServantXService. The characters really are a lot of fun, so it makes sense that the series would be more interested in watching them goof a...

Yes, I pretty much made this same joke back during the Idolmaster comics... but come on, look at that guy up there. Does that look like a guy who's above using the same gag twice?

I’ve mentioned this elsewhere, but I’ve had ideas for a LOT of other comics beyond Far Out There. The vast majority of them have never made it past the idea stage, or maybe a handful of pages that barely anyone ever saw. However, a LOT of those stillborn ideas have found a second life in Far Out There… or at least a few ...

I feel a little bad about this, in the sense that I don't actually watch THAT many Slice of Life anime, and I try to avoid cast vast, sweeping judgement upon things if I don't have the proper experience to back it up. But then, this is true of so many of the ones I HAVE watched, I just couldn't help myself. ServantXS...

Okay, so I've FINALLY started posting ServantXService comics, and you might have noticed something a little different about the comics queue. Anohana, which WAS at the very bottom of the list, is now right behind Osomatsu-san, and what's all this "Emergency Backup" nonsense?
Well, here's the deal: I made my own list of a...

Because I cannot overstate just how DISGUSTINGLY HOT BALTIMORE IS DURING THE SUMMER
This is one of those things I'd been meaning to do for a couple of years, especially once Otakon started holding a few events in the Hyatt ...which is probably why it felt so underwhelming when I finally got around to doing it. The more time you sit and think about how big and huge and impossibly sprawled out a con is, the...

I never seemed to be head by the Panelist Lounge when the snacks had actually been freshly stocked. Otherwise, I might have eaten... TWO carrots. Maybe even some FRUIT!
Also, it kind of looks like I'm eating ramen out of my hat... which somehow seems like a thing I'd actually do.
...and I've gotten pretty good at putting out a bare minimum number of flyers to stretch my supplies out as far as possible. Actually, I think the problem was that I'd had leftovers after the past few smaller cons, so my subconscious decided I needed fewer this time... despite, you know, Otakon being a gargantuan boil of h...
