– Make sure you come back on Monday for a huge Modest Medusa announcement!
– And seriously, thank you all very much. I wouldn’t have made it to 100 without you guys.
Best cliffhanger evorz! Cannot contain myself for 2wks D: bawww
Yes! (…and no one was there to even look in and ask why he was taking so long in the bathroom)
Time flies when you’re getting pulled down the toilet!
Love your comic. I’ll never stop reading.
Remember what I said yesterdey about your head not fitting the pipes? Well forget about it! I also forgot that a half snake girl came out of there. XD
Yeah, they need a new sign: “Warning: Magic Piss Pot, Hole is larger than it appears.”
The sign should have just three words: DO NOT USE! 🙂
Some of these comments, man. They’ll keel you over. XD
September 1st is on Thursday, dude.
Yeah… well, I usually update late Thursday evening, so we’ll just leave it as is.
He forgot to flush!
ewww…. your right…that means she dragged him in through his piss!
And in the last panel before he’s fully submerged, he had yet to close his mouth. I understand that these turn of events are shocking, but I think I would at least close my eyes and mouth.
LOL! Now Jake is going to smell like pee too!
I so want to say that Jake *totally* deserves this, but the thought of angry mom is truly scary (even though Jake kicked ass on the unicorn). I do hope the bitchy mermaids rag on him for a bit. I love the BM’s 😀
BM? Bowel movement?
BITCHY. MERMAIDS. READ THE COMMENT AGAIN. SLOWLY THIS TIME.
wow… that was the first strip that had more than 3 panels. cant wait for the next season man. keep it up!
Swirly of DOOM! Doom I say!! With the aftertaste of pee. Eww. By the way, you need Medusa plushies, do you have Medusa plushies?
Working on plushies. More news when I have it.
I know! I totally said plushies! I want two! (well I also want life-size Bitchy Mermaid plushies too but that is an “inside thought.”)
Well, if nothing else, at least now he can get his copies of Zone of the Enders, Dynasty Warriors 2, & all the other games that were flushed earlier in the night. So there’s that.
You sir are a wise man. I had totally forgot about the game CDs.
Is it just me, or does the toilet look shocked in the last three panels?
Totally. The toilet was already shocked enough with a medusa living in it, but having it’s owner dragged down it JUST CROSSED THE LINE, MAN!
Congratulations (and thanks) on getting to 100.
Looking forward to the next story!
John
Hope you’re getting free chocodiles (at least) for all the product placement 🙂
Thanks. You hear that freshchocodiles.com? John D hopes I get free chocodiles!
Let me guess…Mummy lives in Flushing NY?
Hmm, random comment placement…
Congrats on 100 strips Jake!!!!
Thanks! And thanks for sticking around so long!
Finales make me sad. mostly because i was doing an roleplay with an friend of mine in october of last year and she decided to put the roleplay on hiatus so we called the last scene the finale of season 1 and i havent heard from her since.
I swear to god we’ll be back on the 1st. maybe sooner if I get bored!
Well september isn’t two far away my birthdays on the 29th and thats only 10/9 days away. and you might leave comments/blogs in the meantime so your not gone. and this gives you time to think up what will happen in the meantime for the story. It’s not a Finale it’s a temporary break to me.
it’s not even a break, really. There will still be regular updates 3 times a week. Maybe even more than that.
Happy Centennial, Jake! MM’s been a great comic so far, and I’m certainly looking forward to more; thanks for sharing it with us!
Thanks!
I’m glad the third panel doesn’t have sound effect text (I know there is a technical term for it, I’m just too lazy to look it up).
Hmm, is this working up to a scenery change? Are we going to learn more about Medusa and her world?
“Tune in 2 weeks from now!”
Awwww…..
congratz on 100 pages. may your drawing hand never cramp, and your computer never crash!
thanks! I actually just got into a bike crash about an hour ago and messed up my arm. Hopefully it will heal fast.
road rash sucks!
Sweet! This means we get to find out what Medusa’s home looks like. Well, beyond the forest and mermaids that is.
great page
Hey should the Maid part of the Mermaids be replaced by say a derogatory term for unpleasent females? also Can Mermaids get lung cancer?
CHAINSAW UNICORN!!
I am so excited! I had such a great day at work (extra work=extra $) that I bought myself a treat (hint: it was a CHAINSAW UNICORN! tee shirt). I got a black one. I will wear it until it is a rag.
Hey, thanks! Congratulations on being the 50th person to buy a shirt!
I am special XD
Thanks for the great shirts! (P.S. If you make interesting designs I like, I won’t be able to stop buying them–until I run out of money again)
So. I just read the most exciting thing EVER. YOU. KUMORICON! *dances* You’re like the only web comic I read that attends KumoriCon. D: Which is sad, but AWESOME. Because I just discovered you. And I think this is like one of the cutest comics I’ve ever read. I sort of want my own “pet” Medusa. On that note…
I saw Chocodiles for sale today in a random convience shop down in Sweet Home. First time I’ve ever seen them outside of this comic. (I do mean Sweet Home, OR…)
Where the hell is Sweet Home? I’ve lived in Oregon all my life but… hmm… Google Maps says it’s East of Corvallis. Weird. You know, that must be fairly close to where the Chocodile factories are. Rumor says that all Chocodiles are manufactured somewhere in Southern Oregon.
Anyway, Kumoricon! It’ll probably be pretty great! We’ll be giving away Chocodiles at the panel and… I don’t know, doing other stuff probably. It should be fun! Also, you should totally read Dubious Company as well, that way when you meet Ben Hsu at Kumoricon you can say you read TWO webcomics who’s creators bother to come to Kumoricon.
I totally should! I’m also going to try and make it to the panel (cause that would be awesome). Yeah, Sweet Home is east of Corvallis. I’ve lived in Oregon my whole life too! 😀 An hour south of you. Well, I’m off to start reading Dubious Company!
I was thinking of insulting terms for females and males to come up with an mer version and i realized females tend to be hardcore while guys have jerks creeps punks and such females have B***hes, C**ts ,Sluts, Whores. i mean wow. what does it say about our society that men have less offensive insult categories then women. so then i remembered one thats relatively benign and generally works for male and females Snobs. So in conclusion MerSnobs
MerSnobs is pretty good. I was a little uncomfortable referred to the mermaids as the Bitchy mermaids at first. in fact, to offset that I original referred to them as dicks. Anyway, for whatever reason I got used to it and the name stuck. For the record, I’m not really a fan of gender-centric insults. This one just kinda happened.
Well they do act bitchy. And they don’t seem bright since they enjoy smoking. Oh yeah speaking of which. Are Mummy’s in the Medusa Word friendly? The MerSnobs advised Medusa to go make friends with them.
I don’t think Mummies are friendly, but we’ll see. We’ll meet one eventually, I think.
So they were essentially telling her to “go play in traffic”?
So I guess this is why you’re not supposed to put draino in the toliet.
Not happy about having to wait until September. Wore my chainsaw unicorn shirt to Worldcon in Reno. It was very popular. Several people at the Brotherhood without Banners party took pictures of it. I told everyone who complimented the shirt to read the comic.
Thanks! Sorry about the wait. I need some time to prep, catch up, go out of town and play Tekken 6. On the plus side, between the guest strips and the bonus strips I’m going you’ll probably see more content here before September than you would have otherwise.
Jake would you be able to put up with stuff like this if it actually happand in RL? It also makes me wonder what Medusa parents look like or did her mom turn her dad to stone or eat him because he is much smaller then female Medusa? Medusa stereotype of turning people to stone also a female species that eats males because they are smaller and weaker. I am sure Medusa’s mom is going to be naked also like Medusa was when she first showed up or is that a no? How big is Medusa’s family? There also needs to be other Knights besides the chainsaw unicorn. I would say a Kelpi, BM, a angry talking waffle with telekinetic powers, Feminist Tsundere that is deeply in love with Medusa type character, and a possessed person that is close to comic Jake for the other knights. Oh and congrats on 100th strip and stay healthy, don’t be reckless and don’t let us down once second season starts up.
I can deal. I’ve been working with kids since in was in high school. I don’t get nearly as frustrated as comic Jake. As for your other questions… I have no answers. Sorry. I like the waffle though.
Ewww. Did he get a chance to flush?
