I've been doing this comic since April and in that time I feel like it's really grown. I did most of my advertising for it on GameFAQs but now I would love to carry the conversation about the ongoing strip here in good ol' DrunkDuck. I never expected the comic to climb into the top ten and I wanna thank all my readers for helping me get there.

I'm totally up for criticism for anyone reading this who isn't familiar with it. But please keep the "why is it an MS Paint comic?" comments to a minimum. The comic updates every day, often with multiple comics in a single day, drawing it in MS Paint is the easiest and quickest way to draw it with it's current style.

How it is an MS Paint comic and in the top 10 still eludes me too. I do like it every now and then. I won't lie, I never played the game so I don't get some of the jokes.

I think the fact that it updates every day is what helped it get that high. Updates every day means roughly the same amount of views per day meaning same amount of ratings and...yeah, thats probably what helps it

Hmm...Lets see, my own personal persona? Well, I would probably be in the Hermit arcana. As for who it would actually be...

If we're going with an already existing Persona then I'd probably have Mothman, if I'm making up my own here then I dunno, I'd have to think about it for a bit.

This is one of my favourite comics and I personaly thank you for making the series, although I was wondering if the comic is chronologic to persona 3...
wont that mean the comic is going to end soon? Please say no...

Well...I could say that, but I would be lying to you, and I just can't do that. Yes, the comic does follow the day to day events of Persona 3 so that means it will soon be coming to an end. It'll finish off January, take a big break through February, and then finally finish off in March.

So after this series ends it'll just be RKt19th and then P4TW will be starting up in April 2011

But that doesn't mean we can't enjoy the series while it's still alive...*starts humming Still Alive*

I have a question:

Will this comic also be running "The Answer"? Or is it just gonna stop at "The Journey"?
No fancy signature for you. Deal with it :3

Seeing as how there won't be any comics at all during February and most of March, I decided that I WILL be posting some comics related to The Answer. Such as all the party member scenes and maybe a few Metis things.

As of right now I don't plan to do the entire Answer, but we'll see how it goes, I may change my mind.

I personally like the MS Paint look, it fits the humor of the comic perfectly ^_^

I agree with Deep_Crow, the MS paint style is realy awesome!
But when the comic reaches the fight with Nyx Avatar, how are you gonna make humor out of a serious moment as the protagonist makes the great seal?

I'll find a way, somehow I always do. I didn't think I'd find a way to make Shinji's death funny, didn't I? ...No? well whatever, I tried.

Ok, well I'm happy to see that the comics are still updating, makes me glad I caught them when I did and decided to update. If I hadn't, there wouldn't have been an update today and we woulda been stuck with nothing, thus throwing everything off balance.

But that didn't happen, so new comic today (as always)

This entire week is mostly just the exam comics, so I'm sorry if they're a little boring, but I follow the game. I try to make exams as fun as possible.

Anyway, I did an interview on the site. I was interviewed by Xerjester who writes a comic called Nine Shot Sonata, really good, really funny and great artwork so check it out if you've got the time. If you wanna read the interview you can find it here

What about on December 31st? The comic could go two ways, one where they fight nyx and the other where they loose their memories and end up screwed on January 31st.

Which of these two are you going to do? Or both?

Cant wait!

You're giving away lotsa spoilers for the folks who haven't played the game...

And again, not giving anything away.

Ok, yet again DrunkDuck is attempting a server move, which means we MAY be stuck without comics for the weekend.

I hope it doesn't come to this, I e-mail and asked questions about it but truth be told the answer I got back was very vague and I don't think it really answered my question.

So...keep your fingers crossed, but we might not have comics for the weekend, which would totally throw off the whole balance

*le sigh*

Additional: In a rare twist of fate, all three of my comics have updates today. It's like the planets lined up or something. Whoooo

Alright sports fans, this is it.

DrunkDuck is now officially down until monday, doing the whole server move thingamabob.

In one hour we will know if the comics that were set to update over the weekend will go up or not.

Lets watch...

Additional: We're good people, we're good ^^ comics are still updating. Huzzahs and high fives all around

Yey, Im glad it still updated, this is something I look forward to, so I hope you dont make us wait a really long time for the P4TW. Hey, with the P3P one will you do one with the female MC or is this going to be a wait and see job?

The one with the female MC might be a little redundant and a lot of work... unless Strain decides to erase the male MC and replace him with the female... eh, it's still a lot of work.

Right now I do have somewhat of a plan for the FeMC. I was thinking that maybe to keep people interested through out 2010 (because I know not everyone likes Raidou) I was going to do the FeMC specific social links.

It wouldn't be much, it'd be like 2 or 3 comics a week. I'd definitely update on sundays because not many webcomics update on sundays and it makes me sad.

But yeah, once it's all over and depending on when P3P actually comes out I may do something like that.

I dunno, it's all a lot of "maybe I will, maybe I won't" right now, partly because I dunno how busy I'm going to be once I start school.

Will the P3P comics be part of the FTW comic, or will it have its own comic on DD?

I'm debating that myself. On one hand it is technically still P3, and I dunno if I wanna make a seperate series just for "The Fantastical Adventures of the P3 FeMC"

...Even though it rhymes...

We've got until P3P comes out to decide, tons of time to think about it.

But I work hard to make it so that the reader doesn't have to play the games to get the comic xD

The games are just about the 14th, and except for a casual reference here and there it's my own original story and stuff
