Hey, so I'm not gonna answer this question with your username out, because I don't want you getting dogpiled.

But I feel the need to address this because it comes up now and then.

First of all: Thank you for liking my comic and wanting it to come faster! I'm psyched to hear that you like it that much.

And while I fully understand the feeling of "why can't the thing I want just HAPPEN", this is... unfortunately... not a very kind thing to send to an artist. Or a writer. Or any creator.

Not the way it's worded, anyway.

So, let's discuss:

Why can't the comic be weekly again?

Well, if you can understand why THIS is irrational:

Then you can understand why the comic can't be weekly just because you REALLY REALLY want it to be.

Resources like money and time aren't just something that drops into my hands. I'm an adult. I work. I have a life outside of this. I have a dog! I get up at 6am to walk her. I drive to work an hour each way. I try to help my spouse out around the house.

And I daresay, even though I once posted weekly, the quality and length of my comics has gone up quite a bit and it now requires twice the amount of time to make them without burning out.

Look, to make it 100% clear, when I'm pushing the comics to be two weeks apart, this is NOT what is happening:

This magical contraption does not exist. It's not effortless, it's not immediate.

It takes me the full two weeks, if not more, to create these comics.

Yes, they're spaced out quite far apart, but that's how far apart they gotta be in order for me to be able to bring them to you.

And yes, I know the comic is already made. But I am making them at a pace of two per month on Patreon, and just because I post them faster doesn't mean I'll make them faster!

Basically your options are:

Regular updates that are two weeks apart

Semi-regular updates that are sometimes less than two weeks apart, but with multiple month-long hiatuses between them.

I've chosen regular updates. For me AND for you guys.

And man, there are MANY better ways to tell an artist or a creator you love "hey, I can't wait to see more of your content!".

For example:

"Hey, I can't wait to see more of your content!"

You can also try:

"I look forward to every update!"

and

"Every time you put out a new comic, I'm eager to read what comes next!"

It'll go a long way, I promise!

I still love the fact that the entire Ironstrange community decided that Stephen fell in love with Tony after viewing 14000605 possible timelines bc he watched him die for everyone on Titan, watched him sacrifice himself for people he just met and essentially for the entire universe, watched him fall over and over and over again just to stand up and keep fighting because he had to. He’s seen every decision Tony could ever make, has seen every sacrifice-play he’s made, every victory and defeat, and decided ‘this one.’

Like, Stephen’s seen this man at his worst and at his best, probably knows him better than anyone else ever could, and he fell so in love with him. I will go down with this ship.

Were you going to destroy Carlo’s… heart?

Soap would love to say that he was good enough at keeping his human form under control, that is, until ghost gets hurt badly on a mission gone wrong.

And everything around soap seemed to die instantly, the grass, the people, anything near him dies with no real cause as he runs to his very human lieutenant to try and save him.

And when soap grabs his lieutenant, simon sees soap for what he truly is, not human, but not a true monster. Simons seen monsters before, and none of them have shown such care and worry towards him as Johnny’s hundreds of captivating eyes do.

Better late than never. Let’s hope CERTAIN OTHER COUNTRIES follow suit.

one time andrew is having some problem with his car and mentions it to neil in front of matt and matt knows literally anything and everything to do with cars so he offers to take a look. he ends up knowing exactly what the problem is and how to fix it, so him and andrew spend a couple days over the course of a week doing different things for the car; going to a mechanic to order in parts, matt checks the whole thing over in case anything else needs a service, and then matt talks andrew through what exactly he’s doing to fix the problem. andrew’s loves cars but is less knowledgeable about the mechanics side of things, but he hangs on to every word that leaves matt’s mouth, in case it’s information he’ll need to use again. matt shows him how to do something and then gets him to try it. they fix it pretty quickly, and andrew thanks him by throwing him the keys for a couple hours afterwards and tells him it’ll never happen again. (he’s not entirely serious, but he does spend those few hours anxiously waiting for matt to come back)

Morgana having a prophetic dream, but it's not scary or bad at all, it's just Merlin and Arthur having a relationship.

honestly tho. I personally believe that Daniel will go back to competitive racing. I know he’s previously said that he’s not afraid of retirement because he’s been on the other side and he’s secure in the knowledge that he has enough interests and passion to lead a fulfilling life outside of racing, but I’ve always felt that he would only be ready to go to that life waiting for him once he had truly given his all to formula one and was content to leave it all behind. And I just feel that didn’t really happen for him.

He was still talking about winning races and championships not too long ago and he truly still has that hunger for it — the way he thrived under pressure when he had that summer break ultimatum, the fact that he went and got the record lap on the penultimate lap of his career. He’s still so fucking hungry for it and I just can’t see him not get consumed by it.

And maybe it’s all for my personal selfish reasons, but I so want to see him in WEC or Indycar and maybe attempt the whole triple crown thing.

Mostly, I just want to see him be clad in glories and champagne again

Thinking about it, wouldn't Mavbo be Immortal x Mortal?

parkour civilization 2 spoilers below!!

So, as we all know, in the end Evbo becomes the parkour god and EMF becomes the parkour champion. yea?? Since EMF has the champion boots, it basically makes him immortal. Until another person takes his title. Until he isn't the champion anymore. Wouldn't his immortality be taken away with him? Like what we've seen with The Old Man, he dies due to old age because he doesn't have the champion boots with him, and just because his age really is coming to him. Not even command blocks could save him, his death was predetermined from the start. He is a mortal, no matter what title he has.

So is EMF. EMF is a mortal. A mortal with the champion boots that basically gives him immortality, but without that, he is "fragile". without the boots he can't regenerate without food, and his hunger isn't always full anymore. Worst of all with a mortal is that. They can die due to old age. And. and and. Evbo can't do anything when that happens. He can't save EMF. he can't use command blocks, and his godly powers can only summon his spirit. He can't bring him back no matter how hard he tries because he is the god of parkour. What use is parkour in reviving someone?

Now imagine with me, a situation where EMF is dead. Generations upon generations of champions come and go, and Evbo is just alone. He's just like the previous parkour god, a bystander, the audience, just watching.

Missing his trusted ally, the person who stuck through him thick and thin,

His champion, his mortal, his human, his friend,

God's favorite.

What you do think was going through Jonathan's mind when he thought "yea. I'mma put syringes in my fingers"

I mean. How do you even think of that.
