– Welcome to Season 4! Modest Medusa is now a prison drama!
– I was on the Drunk Duck podcast yesterday. Ozone Ocean was a great host and I had a lot of fun! You can listen to it here.
– Lots and lots of Kickstarter stuff to talk about! Just 10 days left and I could still use your support!
— The Kickstarter is less than $250 from the next stretch goal, which is an assistant to help me take care of shipping all the Kickstarter stuff. I plan on doing it as fast as I can anyway, but having an assistant will help make sure you guys get your stuff as fast as possible. After that we’ll be just $500 from the next stretch goal, a bonus 3 page story about the Fairy Soldiers and their Batman obsession!
— In case you missed it, here’s the art for the special sticker that only international backers get. Medusa as Nausicca! I’m also offering this sticker to Kickstarter backers who also support my Patreon campaign.
—- If you missed the awesome Modest Medusa dice from the Dice Empire campaign, here’s your second chance! You can add Modest Medusa dice to any Kickstarter pledge for $2 each.
—– If you’d like a copy of the Season 1 or 2 books (or even an extra Season 3 book) you can now add them to any Kickstarter pledge for $17 each!
—— Here’s a special thing I’d doing. My friends Ben and Elaine are running a Kickstarter for their comic Licensed Heroes. It’s a fantasy comedy and I dig it a lot. Elaine and I collaborated on a special Licensed Heroes/Modest Medusa print. She drew it and I colored it. We’ll be giving away the print to anyone who back both of our Kickstarters for at least $25. Here’s the art:
I like how the cop is just ignoring his phone call request.
Mostly because that whole ‘Get one phone call’ thing is television/movie BS. It’s not uncommon for there to be payphones at lockup, and often if someone is willing to accept the charges for calling collect they’ll let you make a call, but there is no guaranteed phone call. If you say “I want my phone call”, some cops may let you… but some cops may just laugh. Or laugh and be like “F*** you, dumba**. You’re S.O.L.”
What you *actually* have is the right to an attorney. They may let you call your attorney, in some cases they may make the call for you. There’s no guaranteed phone call, but everyone seems to think so because Hollywood is stupid.
Exactly.
Love that you put in that bit of realism. Although I think the request for medical attention wouldn’t have been ignored. Lawsuit risk and all that. Unless the cop’s gonna go call a doc.
But I could be wrong. I’ll probably ask my grandpa later.
(Retired cops: Full of interesting information and sometimes the most badass stories ever.)
For anyone wondering, Portland cops tend to be pretty awful. Not all of them, but enough of them.
Would this have anything to do with Marah’s death?
Three questions Jake
A. Modest was told the princess died after she fled with the oathbreakers. She was also told she wasn’t the princess. We then found out she is the princess because of being the Prince’s daughter. We also know Yeld Radiation can change people into monsters. So I wonder this. Could it be that Gorgon was the princess of Yeld who went into hiding taking only the possessions of her late mother the queen. She told none of her knights where she was and hid in her cave. Over time her body began to change [either by radiation or by Dragul finding her{ and turning her into a medusa and then her negative emotions into the giant snake we all know and fear?
2.How many warriors in Drudge Heaven of Yeld do you think are around Marah’s age?
3. Will you reuse the “You can talk” joke from season 1 with Modest explaining the new features of the latest pokemon to Drudge Marah while Jake does a doubletake?
1. Good theory, but no.
2. I have no idea. Probably a few.
3. Ha!
Naussidusa.
Well, new season! But… Where’s medusa?
Actually I think Jake could do a whole season of Modest Medusa with the main characters in prison. Kind of like how Archer went from being a spy parody for four seasons to becoming a show about creating a drug cartel. I’d suspect lots of subverted jokes. Like Jake dropping the soap and nervously bending over to get it and then someone else tries to help him and their soap slips and someone else slips and then there’s just a bunch of people laying on the floor of a shower room Or running into a neo nazi looking guy who seems to hate an african american prisoner and then Jake finds out it’s nothing about race it’s because they both have a pokemon rivalry. Like the season of My name is earl.
But What I really hope for is Drudge Marah and/or Prince Dragul to show up at the trial for the murder of Marah.
OH another question Jake about the custom sketch. {this isn’t just for me but for everyone}
which of the following is Not acceptable
1. Medusa [main character]
2. Medusa saying something custom
3. Toothfacer/The knight who burned the village {important side characters}
4. number three and two combined
5. red haired nameless dodgeball character [background characters]
6 number five and two combined
7. Medusa in a costume {Character in custom outfits like the stickers}
8. Medusa playing pokemon {Character doing something/ scenes}
9. important side or background chacater doing a scene
10. Important side or background character saying custom speech bubble
11. Important side or background character in costume
11. Any Character do a scene, in costume, and speaking.
12. Character never seen like Your other roommates
13. A character who exists in the comic but has never been seen {you know who i mean}
Way back early in the second season someone was complaining about the tone shift in the series, about how it was a slice of life comedy (it wasn’t, but sure) and became an adventure comic. i told them that after the characters made it back from Yeld it would be come a prison drama, so here we are.
Hmm… I’m hoping to avoid multiple characters in the sketches, or having the characters do anything real complicated, just because it takes more time to draw. I mean, I’m planning on putting some time into these, but I already have about 40 of these to do (not to mention about 350 normal book sketches)!. So lets rule out 4 and 6.
Accomplice to butt touching.
You’d think they’d at least let Charles go since he didn’t kill Jake?
So I need to be in the $25 a month level on Patheon and part of the Kickstarter to get the Medusa as Nausicca sticker?
Nope! Any Patreon patron who backs the Kickstarter will get the Nausicaa sticker. Even if you just back the Patreon for like $1 a month.
Of course for the Jake character its been a prison drama since most of season 2.
I feel it’s necessary to blame Carlos.
HOW IS CHARLES STILL ALIVE!?
