Happy Monday! Holy crap, the studio is cold this weekend! I had to go out an buy a hoodie just to stay warm. And I’m still cold! And the heaters on!
Convention: I’ll be at Orycon in Portland this weekend sharing a table with Ben Hsu of Dubious Company. Come by, buy a t-shirt and get a free Chocodile!
Vote! Modest Medusa has been hanging out at the tWC #10 spot all week, but is actually only about 200 votes away from the #6 spot! Remember, if we can take #5 and hold it till the end of the month then I’ll be doing an extra strip every week next month! I’m also working on some wall paper incentives. So please vote by clicking the link above.
SNAKEMUNCH! Yeah, it’s a good thing she has her hair to look out for her. Else she’d be still in a net.
Oh, sure, it’s all fun and games when you’re throwing nets over people to get a reward, but as soon as they start biting it’s time to complain.
Though, somebody did comment earlier that the purple mermaid was probably delicious. Now we can find out.
I wonder if she is a giant purple Chocodile . . .
“It’s a good thing you’re wearing THIS…” (tugs at hairnet)
D’oh!
yes! bite her more!
That one snake is just staring at her tits (again)
‘Bout time the hair-snakes lent a “hand”. Been voting from as many different computers as I can get to (& my phone). Good luck!
Thanks!
Those snakes just have a mind of their own don’t they? That will teach those mermaids to put her in a net
Coming soon – the name Medusa’s snakes contest.
I like that even though the snakes do have minds of their own, Medusa still apologizes when one bites the mermaid. She’s so innocent (unless you tell her she can’t go to a Pokemon pre-release with you).
now she’s in for it, the snake hair is pissed off! a lot more snakes eat fish, than fish who eat snakes. i’ll bet she tastes like nicotine and anchovies. bleh! lol!
Oh dear, I hope you aren’t envenomed or any thing >.> That would be a shame…
Then I might have to… @w@ SUCK THE POISON OUT*insert creepy music here*
hehehe…I have my Chainsaw Unicorn hoodie to keep me in the warm 😀
Its sucks that I’m never in an area where ___con goes on! Stupid 4 corners 🙁
The 4 Corners area isn’t to far. I may make it out there sometime next year, if you can recommend a good show.
Can you make it to Phoenix Comicon? I know it is a few hours away but…
When is it?
Oh, I meant bombshelboy, since Four Corners is really “nowhere’sville” (sorry bombshelboy but I Google mapped it and it looks like a driveway loop in the middle of the desert). BUT… Phoenix Comicon in in March I believe. It is not as massive and fun and overpopulated and commercialized as (my hometown San Diego–home of the Comicon–oh, sorry, was I bragging?) but it seems to be pretty popular (anything to get out of the heat 😀 ). Okay, but seriously that might be the only convention or show that is even close to 4C that MM might be able to make it to. Oh BTW Jake I just introduced MM (and you by proxy) to one of my favorite artists who has international renown and would appreciate your style. Dunnoifithelps–but it is always nice to share the love. I would start thinking along the lines of a Zelda-style v.g. (quietly, not telling anyone just yet–maybe for a pitch to EA–they would love MM).
Phoenix sounds okay, but March is pretty busy for me with local shows. So we’ll see. Thanks for the introductions. I always appreciate that! I have a game centered around Yeld that I’m slowly developing, so…
Here’s my credit card. I want one of the first copies. 4327…
I love that Medusa apologises to her kidnapper!
That is a classic moment 🙂
Purple Princess better hope those aren’t poisonous snakes.
as for Green Queen she’s got an advantage of agility in the water unless Marah has practiced underwater combat or Yeld’s water has a diffrent density then earth water.
Good names!
Oh my gosh the snakes are doing something!
I’ve always wondered what was keeping those snakes from biting people when Medusa was mad or something. She never seemed to have much control over them. I wonder if her mother has control over her’s. She must have some degree of control if she was able to kidnap Jake with them.
I can’t tell if that underwater punch is connecting or not, but unless that mermaid is strong or has some ability to move through water easier, it probably doesn’t have much force behind it. If the punch is connecting you might want to put some creases or something in the clothes to show that it is.
I meant for it to be more of a “get off me” swipe than an actual punch.
Wow! Bitey snakes! You’ll likely get all kinds of calls on fang-y snakes – only poisonous snakes have fangs, everyone else has simply lots of teeth. But maybe they are poisonous? Just not enough to deter mer-folk? There is a particularly cute set of snakes on a medusa-oid over at Wapsi Square a few days back. They shift between super hair and snakes very cleverly.
Hm! Looks like having snakes for hair has it’s advantages lol! Love the comic! Hope you get warm soon man.
@Comic: That lower left one bites people, and has proved that they (the mermaids) have red blood. Impossible, it’s obviously green and blue striped!
@Yer issue. You should bask in it! Cold is wonderful. Cold is great! Then again I’m a human furnace, just SLIGHTLY under the human torch when it comes to heat. I’m the only one in the family with this rediculous resistance to heat.
Badass fight. -_- I’m kinda surprised that mm’s snakes actually bite. I thought maybe they were just used for threatening. Other than that, awesome update. Which reminds me…first. -_-
Good point, but that does raise the question….. are her snakes poisonous?
… Hrmmm probably not, as she is still young, or if she is a constrictor medusa rather than venomous medusa.
i hate the cold doubly when you add to the fact i have to sleep with an AC on when i sleep and in my shorts. because its my bodies habit. which during floridas summer is pretty straightforward but when winter comes and it’s 30 or 40 below i still have to sleep the same way but with like 5 blankets
just voted, been voting almost everyday when i discovered this comic and i love it, i have read thru the entire archives and i glad i found it.{there was a banner on twc after i voted for goblins and 2 kinds
now comes the fun part one those snakes has bee line on biting purple princess on the boob this would be the funniest thing to be seen in fight.
Just voted and been voting everyday for past 3 weeks since discovering this comic..
i love it, and purple princess is going get bitten on the boob due that snake that looking at her boob and has perfect bee line to biting her there.
sighs why is my comment waiting moderation? first one did not show up..
sorry for spaming
Every comment get moderated here. It’s how I avoid spam.
ah i see sorry for spamming normally the ones i comment on are the same blog like some other comics that wont mention but anyways i should seen that happening since thatw as my first time posting.
i wonder if Medusa is venomous or a constrictor… or a spitter …. and if her hair likes boobies, does that mean at lest some of her hair is male…. or is it bi curious.
(p.s. i would never ask these questions if the comic in question was not worth the time. thanks for making a great comic jake)
Wait and see is the answer to all of that.
Hey Jake some webcomics includes a recaptcha to avoid spambots. if thats an ongoing concern i mean it’s not a problem for me i check modest medusa out 15 times a day or more
Well, it’s not a huge concern (we don’t get a ton of spam). Part of the reason I have manual approval is so I make sure that I read all the comments. I don’t always answer everything, but I want to read everything.
marah panel two translated from under water “Sonofafish right in the boob!”
Oooo… The snakes have 4 large fangs in the front. If we went by real-life snake anatomy, that would mean they are venomous. Non-venomous snakes usually have lots of little tiny fangs in a single row or the tree-snakes have big fangs in the bang (to hang onto birds). I know a little too much about this stuff… Anyway, it sucks to be the mermaid.
D’oh—except they just have two fangs. Nevermind. They’re in the front though. It will be a trip if they are venomous. 🙂
grab the sword! don’t die Marah kick that mermaids ass!!
