Re: [1492] Wellness Check

Paniky Yuki is adorable.

Like the pose in the first panel and the layout. Fred was stressing on this, but I think it came out great.

Is poor Yakuta goona get panic-hugged again? Poor kid's never gonna heal at this rate.

Re: [1491] Visiting the Family Shrine [part 2]

So, what I gather here is that Mugi tried to hide her true nature when she was a kid and became self-destructive because of it. If so, then Grams is right. Yaku needs to know what she is, warts and all. Of course, this has risks. Yaku could be scared into an even deeper fear of being Kitsune. She's ...

Re: [1490] Visiting the Family Shrine [part 1]

Whee! According to the Twitter feed, Fred is drawing more Sawatari family stuff on index cards. Camping seems to be a good environment for creativity. I seem to recall Fred having given the family members names at one point. I could have sworn seeing their names penciled onto a copy of Sawatari Fami...

Re: [1488] - Less Poisonous?

OK, so when Fred said that the comic is going in a dark direction, what he meant by "dark" was "bonkers". Love the character designs in this. Also love how it took Memi a week an a half to do something about the fact that that her husband and son were vulnerable to the creature that she decided to b...

Re: [1487] - I Need To Reboot

I thought Ping had no memory of previous configurations. Is this the first indication we've seen that she is aware of this now? This comic is a much-needed spot of fun, right when I could use a laugh. Thank you, Fred, especially for all the work that went into her superfrizz hair. Of course, now th...

Re: [1486] - Not Working

Sareth mentioned external factors. Another factor comes to mind: Miho. What if Miho's situation is affecting more than just her? I think that Fred chose to have the scene break here for a reason. Megatokyo is basically one huge anime/gaming/fantasy trope fest. Miho broke her trope and now the MT uni...

Re: [1486] - Not Working

Adorable. There needs to be a full sized copic version of that first frame. It has kind of a troubling side to it, though: that teddy bear looks like it has been the recipient of some serious frustration. We are reminded of why in the penultimate frame. Geeze, her dad's a real prize, isn't he? A tho...

Re: [1485] - "no idea what is going to happen"

At this time it'd be appropriate to point out that Fred is a fan of William Gibson and a great deal of MegaTokyo is in part informed by Gibson's novel Idoru. In his novel Pattern Recognition the protagonist Cayce Pollard observes that Japan is a sort of mirror world to Britain and the UK You should...

Re: [1485] - "no idea what is going to happen"

Ninjagrrl (Fred gave her a name in chat, damn if I can remember) sees clearly yet still misses the yuge picture: what is going to happen to their world if this situation is permanent? Does the trope just vanish? Does someone else take over? Does everything unravel? Or, does nothing happen and it all...

Re: [1484] Desperate

Fred is still hitting the mark with good flow, view angles, and faces. He says he hates onomatopoeia but I think they turned out well here. As I watched this comic being created on Twitch, I was sure the little cup was where Ninjagrrl planned to keep Miho's heart. Instead, we get a lead-in for (what...

Re: [1480] Bumpy Ride

Wow. In the back of a car, tearing through town with half the police force after them. And Largo thought the roof of a train was some next-level lovin'.

To think, just over two months ago their biggest thrill was sneaking into E3.

New forum smell is the smell of coders. Time to start giving the smell of forumites.
