Happy Valentines day! I got you exposition!
I’m sure you noticed that I missed the Monday update, but now you know why. Here’s this weeks strips all in one go. I think it works better than spreading out all that backstory over a whole week! Â And yes, this counts as Friday’s strip as well, especially since i’ll be out of town. Speaking of which…
Please remember to come see me at Anime on Display in San Francisco this weekend! I have a panel Saturday morning, and I’ll be at my booth the rest of the week, doing sketches and selling books!
Oh! And please check out Animal Crime, my new weekly webcomic with writer Ben Lehman!
awesome job Jake! Everybody loves expositions.
Also Jake I’m considering making a Missing Medusa poster for the season 2 kickstarter. maybe with the website address at the bottom like a take a number thing what do you think
That would be awesome! Please do!
Hey jake in the comic where medusa is watching you leave through the window how come she has fingers when pressed against the glass?
also is charles the type of guy to actually enjoy tackling problems he’s not qualified for or is his subconcious egotistical considering the bonus comic where he protests then becomes excited and says he’ll give it a try for science.
Also i hope that doesnt sound insulting to charles because he seems cool i may just be using words wrong.
Comic Charles is like that. Real Charles is good at everything, so…
I think she has finger bones under her skin mittens. Actually, she has regular fingers just like the rest of the cast, but I only draw them as needed.
Nice! These pages make me think of Rivius Obscura, which you should really pick up again someday now that you’re internet famous and all.
I think about that sometimes, but… ehh, I feel like maybe too much time has passed.
*Brings Weapon Totes* WE WILL HELP SAVE THE PRINCESS…….right after a Chocodile break
That is cool. Definitely a good idea to do at once!
So here’s what i’m thinking Jake for the Ads around town
Missing Medusa
{picture of Medusa}
Age: 4-5 years
Answers to: Medusa, Snake Girl , Free Chocodiles
Features: Fangs , Black Eyes, four snakes growing out of her head. {If your medusa had more then 4 it’s the wrong one.}
If found: Do not Provoke, Do not act Hostile, Use Chocodils or Video Games to lure her into Transport container.

What do you think Jake? Which things would you change?
Oh, nothing. That’s wonderful!
The last panal – the town is in colour but Urano is all grey! Medusa’s hair bit him while he was telling his story. Nooooooooooooo!
Which brings us to a comment in the book about the snakes and naming them, etc. After having them called hair for so long I think that treating them as snakes and naming them would be a little bit of a disappointment.
Maybe. The plan to name them was from very early on in the comic, so we may have out grown it by now. We’ll see if it feels right later.
Anyone else getting a femine vib from Dragul’s outline, positioning???
It comes from watching too much anime. Eventually the male characters you draw start to look feminine.
Oh damn, I thought it was me just being hopeful.
This is utterly incredible artwork. (Query: Do the people of Yeld eat mutton?)
Thanks. And I’m sure they do. They raise sheep anyway.
…You really want to be making video games for a living instead of comics, don’t you?
Ehh. I already make role playing games for a living, so that’s close enough.
Hmm… Rather deep compared to the rest of the story. Very…Powerful. Though it could also be due to the fact that I am listening to Heart of Courage by Two Steps From Hell while I’m reading this…
I recommend it, it adds a whole new level to it.
Great comic by the way, I’ve read every page.
Thanks!
AT&T sucks and I haven’t been able to get on the internet for more than a few minutes *DAILY* since we got it a few weeks back… heck even as I FIRST write this, the internet crapped out on me again… not a good first impression, there AT&T! |:
Anyway, when I get internet back, I’mma post this.
So good comic and *other insert generic webcomic compliments here*, tho when I first got to this page, I thought that, seeing only the art and not the words for the first panel, I thought it was another art but with more foreshadowing, you HAVE been known for it before, Jake, haha!
One last thing before this new internet makes me go kill anything with a’s and two t’s in their name (atticus, latte, etc), lemme just say that I find the new panel shape rather interesting, and very fitting for a flashback-like story, however, I do feel squnched reading it.
I got my stickers in the mail yesterday! 😀 It was an awesome day. ^^
So I was rereading and i noticed that when the stranger lady asks if medusa is your daughter you say ” sure why not?” I also noticed the the woman asked if shes choking then in the vision you ask if she’s choking. Coincidence? I think not! Also dreaming of your favorite type of tea thats hard/impossible to find. Also I wonder are these visions because your magical/special or just an outside source effecting you? Also you probably had the foot fetish magazine from a friend. Back in high school my friend brought several porn mags to school and let me and another choose between them. I chose hustler. never regretted it. but eventually i found the internet so magazines were rendered obsolete.
I think the choking was just an artifact of the two strips being drawn within a week or so of each other. I don’t remember any intentional connection, although it does work out nicely. The foot fetish magazine… when I was a kid (18ish)the store down the street sold adult magazines in polybagged 3packs. It always seemed like a good deal (three for the price of 1) but you’d end up with one you wanted and two weird ones.
And this is where I came in.
*bookmarks…then goes to take his own poop*
…Come on. I’ve never read a webcomic with so much toilet humor in my life. You’re practically BEGGING for TMI. (Plus I’m the king of it.)
*strangled by social skills police*
So Momdusa sent a horsie, with a chainsaw in its head.
I’m sure she didn’t foresee that it nearly wound up dead.
Jake and Marah they did foil it, it was something when beheld,
But then things went down the toilet and they all wound up in Yeld.
Everyone’s a hero in their own way,
Everyone can rescue uncle Jake.
There is no need to pout – look out
That spy it is a snake.
Everyone’s a hero in their own way,
You and you and mostly she, Medus’.
You may never fight a mermaid, brain-sucking ghost, or both,
You may never have pursuade-d a vampire to break its oath.
But you need not envy, there’s no reason to get pissed,
For a hero can even be just a plain fish sci-en-tist!
Everyone’s a hero in their own way,
Everyone can help clean up that mess.
There’s places you can stay – you’ll pay
They’ll cost you your DS.
Everyone’s a hero in their own way,
You and you and mostly she, medus’.
Pretty great. I re-posted his on Facebook and google+
Just came over here from an advert on the Sister Claire webcomic page. I read all the story so far in one go. Love it! I can’t wait for more.
Hey, welcome over!
Saw Jake at AoD in San Francisco, and went to his panel. Great job! (I was the one who asked questions who wasn’t the annoying guy behind the projector.)
Thanks! Ben, Ewen and I really appreciated having someone in the audience that knew how to ask a question.
How come the princess doesn’t have glasses, too? 😛
Okay, this guy is starting to grow on me.
