Man, it's been a WHILE since we did some convention comics on Patreon, hasn't it? Well, here it is: the parts of Ichibancon 2016 you DIDN'T see in the main update!

Good intentions only get you so far (and really, I'm not sure Kevin has something he's actually good at)
I gotta confess: if this page wasn't for Patreon, I would have just copy/pasted actual screenshots for the top three panels. But hey, if people are paying actual money for the privilege of reading this thing, then the least I can do is actually draw all of it myself, right?
And yeah, I know. I know. "Some...

One of these days I'm gonna draw an entire comic series about Megaweapon getting beat up. There won't even be any jokes. Just Megaweapon getting harmed over and over again. This will make me happy.
...oh, and let's not forget orangutans totally being about to rape underage girls, THAT'S totally fine for television too. More so than a teenager smoking, anyway (and I don't even LIKE smoking, I just think that's really ridiculous)
As always, the Universe as a singular entity refuses to allow Jenna to catch a break.
Also, have fun working out what all these various foods are references to!
Remember when I apologized for how I can't draw JJBA muscles? Apparently I need to amend that statement to include faces. I mean, let's face it: I can't just do a vague caricature like I usually do in these situations. Hirohiko Araki's art style is just too distinctive, I gotta at least TRY to do it straight......

Man, I've severely neglected the Two Dollar crowd, haven't I? Sorry, but with all the Christmas comics, I just haven't had time to write out any blog posts. To be honest, I STILL don't have time, but I'm gonna write a quick one anyway, just to make it up to you guys.
I occasionally get asked what my Convention ...

Screw the constant dramatic posing, THIS is the element of JJBA I want in my every day life.
I have no idea why The Future apparently has no way of transferring files from one tablet to another.
Also, sorry this page is particularly sketchy. And later than usual. Between all those Christmas comics and just general holiday distractions, I'm really running behind on things right now.
...and that's as close as we're gonna get to me actually giving someone the finger.
If you're not clear on what this is all about: Crunchyroll uses the broadcast versions of JJBA, which have a lot of the more objectionable content covered up with really obnoxious black shading. Now, I understand why they'd need to ob...

It's a bit unsettling how little difference there is between writing a bad boss and writing a grumpy five year old.
I mean, come on. You've seen what my art style looks like. I draw things that are cute and small. Neither of those words exist in the world of JoJo.
But yeah, we're starting a whole new set of JJBA comics! Before anyone asks, I'm skipping over the first season because that's the one I'd already seen...

As I said before, I have no idea what working on the set of a major motion picture is like, nor have I ever worked in a celebrity's fan club... but you know what? I've worked in a restaurant, and this is definitely how THAT works. "Hey new kid, I don't like this job. It's your job now!"
Two quick things before someone nitpicks this one to death: First, I think this whole complaint is the result of the English translation of the title. I'm absolutely not fluent in Japanese, but I have a vague recollection of hearing that "Hataraku Maou-sama!" doesn't specifically refer to a part-time employee, and wo...

I don't know if a fast food place would be considered more or less stressful than a nice, sit-down restaurant... and I'm never find out 'cos I'm never working at either again.

Making characters be mean to Jenna is seriously one of the most difficult tasks I've ever faced as a writer. Also, CRAP it's going to be hard to keep track of all these characters...

The last couple of Conventional Wisdom blogs have been really nostalgic, so I might as well let Far Out There get in on the fun. I wanted to talk a bit about my primary influences during the creation of Far Out There… and I have to be really, super specific about that, otherwise we’ll be here all day. I am not exaggerating...

I usually try to avoid drawing any comics until after I've had a chance to sit down and watch an anime all the way through, but I didn't feel the least bit bad about going ahead and drawing this one right away. Dad Jokes work pretty much the same regardless of context.
But yeah, we're starting a new set of comics!&nb...

I have never been on the set of a major motion picture, but I HAVE been to a bunch of anime conventions and this is pretty much how they all work. The more people you have working on a thing, the less any of those people know about how that thing is supposed to run.
Also, HOLY CRAP THAT'S A LOT OF CHARACTERS TO UNLOA...

So, I think the pile of stuff I've put on Patreon has finally started to get big enough that simply scrolling through the Creator Posts isn't convenient anymore. So, to simplify things, I'm gonna make posts like this on occasion that gather up all the links to all the various comics and blogs in one spot. AND ...

So, funny thing: because I spent so much time down in Artist Alley, I had way too many table-related comic ideas to choose from. In fact, I had two separate comics about tearing down on Sunday. Obviously, that's one too many for a single update, so I figured I'd use one in the main update, and hold the other one back...

I'm surprised I got recognized in this get up as much as I did. That's not to say it happened a lot, just that it happened at ALL.
By the way, this is another one of those comics where I STARTED to do a bunch of caricatures of real people, then gave up halfway through. So, apologies to anyone who was at the tab...

The fun part about cosplaying from MST3k is always how excited MSTies get when they see it... but it's usually older people. Like, the Dad who's just there to keep an eye on his kids and is happy to finally see a costume he recognizes. It's a lot more unusual for it to be the kids who are the excited ones. And ...

On a rational level, I know perfectly well that the way a lobby looks at 9am is different from what it will look like by lunchtime. But it's still really weird to head down to the underbelly of the hotel in the morning before anyone's around, then not come back up until the place is packed.
And it was PACKED. T...

As I've mentioned on numerous occasions, I miss very little about living in Washington DC. But man, it's a great place to have the thought "I feel like taking a walk".
