Retcon. In case it’s not obvious, this is a new version of last Friday’s strip. Immediately after I finished this strip I realized that I wanted to go in a different direction with it. Totally different monsters. The change will make sense after you get your hands on the season 1 book. Speaking of which… I should have an update about that sometime this week. Anyway, in case you missed it the first time, here’s the original strip. I also went back and updated The Secret is Out and The Magical Land of Yeld.
Pre-retcon notes: Happy holidays! I hope you all have a great weekend. I’m not 100% sure If I’ll be doing a strip on Monday. We’ll see.
I’ve been playing Super Dungeon Explore this week. So much fun! Tonight I played two games. I played the DM in the first game, directing hordes or kobolbs leg by a giant dragon. In the second game a played an elf with a bow that did a nasty burst ranged attack. I took out 7 monsters in one round, which was pretty bad ass!
Can she see thru her snakes/hair? Wow that would be confusing if it happened all the time.
Not if you’ve grown up with that ability
I was wondering the same thing!
Super Dungeon Explore is a awesome game but it does take awhile to get everything put together. It took me 18 hours with a group of 8 to get everything put together and high detail accurate colored.
i wonder if that is a shadow monster or some someone in a suit or a dark hairy or furred creature.
Love the peeking snake.
Also: we need to get together sometime to play SDE. 🙂
Yes, totally.
Jake, I got SDE myself, just haven’t had time to put it together or paint the minis. Can’t wait to get playing it. 🙂
I want to hug the big furry monster. 😀
I think you’ll dig it. I may start hosting games at the cons I go to this year.
i want a snake periscope too! it would be awesome to use during hide and seek. lol!
It’s a Muppet. The Jim Henson estate pledged money to the kick-start program and this is their reward.
My favorite explanation so far. lol
It just wants a hug
Its a bear! Right?
I’m not sure why, but that makes me think of Jake.
“Uh, dude, not cool. Your mom turned me into a shadow monster.”
I was thinking similarly. There’s something about the face that is quite Jake-ish.
Yes, I too am thinking this is a transformed Jake
I’m wondering if it’s Bigfoot.
at the first glance I thought it was the Abominable Charles Christopher^^ but thats just me, reading way too many webcomics simultaneously 😛
I Does kiiinda look like Jake.. but all furry-ish. o3o
Marah, you fool! Remember the last time you just watched something that was “just standing there”?

Merry Christmas to Jake and to all the MM fans out there!
The eyes… could it be uncle Jake?
Happy xmas Jake! Where’s my comic book? Are we getting close yet?
Not as close as I’d like. I’m hoping to have a shipping update this week. The short story is that shipping during the Holidays takes much longer than I anticipated.
Oh yeah! I am wearing my Bitchy Mermaids tee shirt on xmas!! (Everyone loves it)
Hell of a retcon. Derpy cartoon monster to full-on Guy Davis squiddliness. I approve!
OH GOD, its Cloverfield
…I don’t see the retcon
Somebody point it out please?
There we go
I even cleared my cache earlier and nothing… Oh well, at least I see the change now
Slightly more Cthulhu-esque now.
Is it a retcon if you change it before the next update???
Hmm it looks familiar, but won’t spoil it
Lookout hairsnake is still awesome. Eat stony death, octopoid monster thingy!
Modest Medusa Season 1 Book
Available by next Ragnarock
Preorder today
It’s coming, I swear. I’m hoping to have a shipping update before the end of the week. Unfortunately I’m guessing the books are a victim of holiday shipping, and we won’t see them until the 1st or 2nd week of Jan.
My head hurts. This retcon is like slamming a standard shift from third to reverse. But the New, Improved monster is more clearly merely scary, obviously not Jake in disguise or something more intellectually twisty.
Sorry if I seem super critical when I say this, I don’t mean it to be offensive. But I am a little disappointed in the monsters, the first one looked awkward and out of place. The second monster looks misshapen, the arms are bent at odd angles, and the legs are poorly drawn. I love the peeking snake though!
Dammit bottom lefty!
