Hi everyone! I’m somewhere in Seattle right now, having fun at PAX. If today’s strip makes nosense to you it may be because you missed the special strip I posted yesterday. Go back’ check it out and then read all about the Modest Medusa season 1 kickstarter. We’ve already reached $1800 in less than24 hours, and we’re just $300 away from our initial goal! Thanks everyone! Of course, the more money we raise the better (and the more bonus content that will appear in the book), and there’s still plenty of great rewards available, including walk on role’s in season 2, crocodiles and more!
I’m typing this on an iPad so I have no idea howbto post a link, but if you’d like to contribute to th kickstarter, or just check it out, you can click the ad I made at the top left side of this page!
More updates soon!
Jake
He really had to ask?
Kickstarter 3 “Aren’t the Chocodiles Fresh Chocodiles.com Provides you enough?” Medusa gives jake a dirty look “what are you crazy? You can never have enough Chocodiles.”
Squee!!! I can’t wait! But I have to! *Damn yous payday! Why do you have to be a week away?* But I am for sure chipping in!
” there’s still plenty of great rewards available, including walk on role’s in season 2, crocodiles and more!”
Wait…we can get crocodiles??? I thought you said chocodiles! AWESOME!! 😉
Listen, they were easier to fin than chocodiles .
I just happened to check Kickstarter yesterday to see if there was anything new that looked interesting on the Comics section. I saw an adorable little Medusa and just had to check it out. I’m sure glad I did; this comic is awesome. I’m glad to help support it.
Thanks! And welcome to the comic!
Jake I was looking at the kickstarter and realize you may want to specify the 5 dollar does not get a book but gets mentioned in it. or maybe they do. we don’t want any complications. Maybe too many Spilled hot coffee and it burned because it was hot made me assume society has a low intelligence and a high greed.
I had thought it was obvious, but… I’ll go ahead an add that to the FAQ.
Better Safe then Sorry. Also if you go so far over your goal you could always do an Medusa and Family Move to the Woods. Depending on how soon you want to reveal her families appearence they could be like Charlie Brown Adults always off screen. or do you plan on making that an story much later on?
I have exactly one thought about medusa’s family…. Her mother is a snake. That’s it.
So is her father Dead/A Statue/Off on his own adventures which is part of where Medusa gets her curious nature? Does she have siblings? All things to store away for year 4 or 5. I see Modest Medusa lasting a long time.
Thanks for the ideas!
Cool, I live in the Seattle area! Awesome news about the book, looking forward to the next update!
Also Jake what do you think the mermaids, chainsaw unicorn, and modest medusa’s DND stats would be.
{if im acting weird i took 28oz of redbull}
I may write up a little d & d suppliment for this, although I think the perfect game for playing MM is Clover.
well duh…what else would it be spent on
of course that is what she wants to spend it on
$2,101 from 50 supporters in less than 48 hours. Mega-grats, Dude! You’re a dollar into the gravy, now!
Wow! Thanks everyone!
Now aren’t you glad you chose to make a webcomic about a 5 year old chocodile eating medusa and not an webcomic about tyrone the tragic hobo? it would have took way longer to raise the money for tyrones own book.
Lol dunno if anyone has noticed this or pointed it out yet but your toilet t-shirt ad to the left says the t-shirts are $!5 instead of 15$ implying they’re only five dollars XD also I think a chat room or forum would be a really good idea especially during this break before season 2 starts up again. So that your more casual readers don’t forget about MM and your rates don’t drop. I can’t even begin to tell you how many really good webcomics I use to follow went on a short break or hiatus and I totally forgot about them after o.o because there was nothing else bringing me back D: although the fact that you do have a FB fanpage and twitter does help 🙂
Io never noticed the$!5 price. I’ll have to fix that.
I’m still not sure about the forum. I’ve had some unpleasant experiences managing forums in the past. It may happen at some point though. I’m still thinking about it.
As far as taking a break goes… I kinds of wish I hadn’t said that, since my plan was to keep updating with guest strips and the two part kickstarter strip. I thi no a lot of people are going to come back on the first and realize they missed 2 weeks worth of dates.
Yeah, I’m glad I kept checking back because initially I had the same assumption. But I’m all for guest strips and fan service so it’s all gravy 😀 as for forums, been there done that. It’s a total pain in the ass. So far though your fans seem like very nice and chill people so I doubt it’d be too hard to manage but might require too much responsibility on your part and take away from your time to produce MM. In that case I at least suggest a simple chat room, chatango is really good. You can embed it in the sidebar or have a chat tab page so that the fans have somewhere to talk amongst themselves rather than spam your comic page comment section with off-topic ramblings :p I only keep bringing this up because I’ve seen others mention it in the past and I do think something along those lines would be a really good idea 🙂
I’ll consider it, but I’m kinda liking the off topic rambling in the comments.
Me too but I feel like I’m being annoying when I respond so much with OT banter XD I try to keep my comments to a minimum to avoid spamming. But since you don’t mind it :p
I just stumbled across this webcomic today, read the entire archive, and can’t wait for the next update. It’s awesome. I <3 the chainsaw unicorn. Thanks for creating such a great comic!
Thanks for reading!
Just found the comic and really enjoyed it 🙂
Jake I thought i’d share my current Webcomics most awesome Story Arc with you. Currently Modest Medusa is my favorite Webcomics but for now this story arc is the best i’ve seen
starting with
http://www.joeandmonkey.com/560

http://www.joeandmonkey.com/578
One Day i’m sure Modest Medusa shall take it’s place as most awesome story arc. But For now Savor your number 1 in my favorite webcomics list
Oh, hey! That is good!
I wonder if people are afraid to donate 350 because they dont want to take your special hat from you.
Hmm… I hope it’s clear that they won’t get my hat. lilineko will make them one of their own.
Tommorow is my birthday and on the second im going to contribute my 22 dollars
Happy birthday, and thanks!
thanks
i read the price for the shirt wrong on the side of the page and thought it said 5 dollars but actually 15 it looks kinda like a mistake. $!5
I’m going to fix that tomorrow. No wonder no one was ordering the shirt.
Love the comic. MM is adorable!! 😀
Also, I think it’s awesome that there’s a Fresh Chocodiles ad on the right of this page. Way to help support a little known food item.
I know how you feel with the iPad thing. The autocorrect gets you every time, doesn’t it?
