– I’ve done a really crappy job of updating thsi summer. I’m pretty sure I’ve missed one update each week since the middle of June. That’s just unacceptable. There’s been some times over the last two months where missing an update was unavoidable, but that wasn’t the case on Monday. I was just feeling tired and decided that instead of doing the strip on Sunday as normal I’d try to wake up early on Monday and get it posted before noon. Obviously that didn’t happen.
I did a double size strip today to make up for it, and I’m going to try very hard to keep Modest Medusa on schedule for the rest of this season. Consistency matters, especially in webcomics.
– I’ll be at Northwest Comics Fest in Salem this Saturday and Sunday. I’m not entirely sure where my table will be, so you’ll have to search me out. I’m sharing a booth with Jaymz Bernard and Micah Berkoff, so if you see them, that’s where I am.
But you did that super-sized strip about the teacher, that was giving troublt to Modest. That made up for everything already! (IMHO!)
That one song by Creed suddenly comes to mind for some reason.
And this interaction is really cute. I like seeing Modest insist on her own independence, and seeing the two of them side by side reminds me how different they are, but that they’re both still little girls.
Guys, what is Meg spelled backwards? ….. Gem!
Yeah. I can’t remember who suggested that, but it was one of you.
Ah, yes, the old climb on the top bunk without using the ladder. Why do they even make ladders for bunkbeds any more?
“What the Hell?”
“Don’t worry. They aren’t going ‘woop woop woop!’ so they aren’t getting in trouble.”
And it looks as if Meg is the one suggesting questionable behaviour in the end there. Modest isn’t the only bad child in the strip.
They’re not bad! Just rambunctious!
Or just being kids! 🙂
Your well-being is more important than the comic (which I love, by the way). God bless. 🙂
Modest should have used the posts to wriggle up there, snake-style!
Why is she still wearing her snow-pants?
I have a feeling that medusa are like elephants: they don’t “fall well” at all…
eeyup… best friends for life
Everyone needs a friend to goad one into the things one should not do.
What’s that quote again?
A good friend will visit you in jail. A great friend will bail you out of jail. A best friend sits next to you in jail and goes “That was fun!”. Yeah I see some jail-time in those girls’ future…
All together now:
“Woop! Woop! Woop!”
Yes consistency matters.
Like consistently funny. And consistently adorable. And consistently crazy. And consistently unpredictable. Wait, was I talking about Modest or the web-comic here? Have I gone full Meta?
You clearly enjoyed drawing all those different cute poses in which they sat. I enjoyed watching every single one.
Thanks. It was fun.
I think the honor for “The highest person in the world” goes to Willie Nelson. Even the dude’s house is made of pot.
Badum-tsh!
A long, long time ago
I can still remember how
That guy came through the magic door.
And by a lake he came upon
A hydra who was named Gorgon
Who showed him things he’d never seen before.
When to his homesickness he’d yield
He went to find the door was sealed,
With her he had to stay
Though she withered away.
The human part of her had died
And then she became Dragul’s Bride
The Knight of Chains served at her side
The day Momdusa cried.
So
Bye, bye little medusa child
You’re the creature of the feature comic that makes us smile
And good ol’ boys were eating their Chocodiles
Singin’ Sneaky Snake has surely got guile-
Sneaky Snake has surely got guile.
In Portland a bathroom did flood
When the smallest child of her brood
Came up out of the commode.
The Knight of Chains did cause some harm
Like cutting of Charles’ arm.
And does a dying unicorn explode?
Well, into the sewers it slunk,
On its trail were Lester and Bunk.
Meanwhile a toilet snake
Came up and kidnapped Jake.
In Dragul’s dungeon he was shut,
While Marah came to kick some butt,
Mermaids got bit, mermaids got cut,
The day Momdusa cried.
I started singin’
Bye, bye (etc)
To raid they had to take a chance
In this land of glasses and eggplants
When the Chainsaw Unicorn came back
With the rodent pirate crew they’d banded
(The capt was not really left-handed)
And they joined the counter-attack.
The Knight did slash, Urano fell,
Was taken by a Drudge Angel.
The people stopped and stared
(Except Vargas who glared).
And Modest gave up humbly,
“Are we there yet?” asked constantly,
She met the rest of her family
The day Momdusa cried.
We were singin’
Bye, bye (etc.)
A hydra usually dies young,
But when her children ease her hung-
Er, she can grow to be quite old.
But Science, Raccoon, Hearts, and Hole
Got Jake released upon parole
With Modest leading them so bold.
And with a spear of dragon bone,
Marah did attack Dragul’s home.
While with a bit less zeal
Batman fixed a meal.
Medusas ride and sheep stampede,
They met a knight who was a steed,
They argued some, but then agreed
The day Momdusa cried.
We started singin’
Bye, bye (etc.)
Now the children all live with a horse,
Save one that joined the pirate force
Along with a former faerie guard.
But Dragul broke Marah’s new glove
And through the portal with a shove
Went Jake and Modest pushed real hard.
But right before away thy went
For the Oracle Serpent
They left a little note
And this is what she wrote.
She said, “My love for you is deep,
But your traditions I won’t keep.”
She signed her name. She drew a sheep.
The day Momdusa cried.
And they were singin’
Bye, bye (etc.)
That was really fantastic. Really!
Totally awesome!!
That was beautiful!
Impressive!
