Strain42
Anyone wanna volunteer to help keep me motivated to try and do that?

Me! ME!
You can do it strain!

*Insert random generic Cheerleader cheer here*

_>

Its the thought that counts...

I know you can do it, Strain! Keep it up, buddy!

Ok, thanks everyone. I really appreciate the effort here. It's nice to know people still wanna see how this plays out (I've been re-reading the answer and it almost feels like an entirely different comic lol)

However, I am behind my intended schedule. I was hoping to have all of the fight comics finished by...yesterday.

Instead i'm still on the first one. Almost done with it, but still on it none-the-less.

I'm gonna keep working today, I won't get distracted, and I'll post an update of how far I got at the end of the day.

Tra-la-la

Edit: 4:41pm Friday: March 19th 2010: The Answer has just become OVER 50 comics. Excited? I thought so.

Bah, those won't motivate him... Remember, fear is the greatest motivator.

In accordance with that, I have obtained some rabid weasels, and am keeping them on the brink of starvation. Should Strain42 not get The Answer done on time, I will find him, and release said weasels into his pants. If he does get The Answer done on time, I will pit them against one another in one of the greatest sports known to redneck, "WEASEL COMBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!"

Ok, it's basically midnight, so I'll give my daily report as promised.

Today I got 7 comics done (seems to be a lucky number for comics)

I got all 3 fights done, and one comic afterwards. I have the next comic scripted so I'll probably get that one taken care of before I go to bed tonight.

I also turned the 3 fight comics into a wallpaper that I'll release to the public when the comics come out.

So 7 comics and a wallpaper, that's not a bad start, right? Since I don't have work anymore I'm free to work on them this weekend as well.

I wanna thank you guys for your continued support and threats of weasel violence against my person.

The fights aren't as hilarious or memorable as I originally intended, but the plan I originally had for them was proving very difficult and was eventually changed. But I still think they're pretty fun.

Seeing as how I'm done with all the little fights here and there and everything else now is basically the ending, I think as long as I do like 2 or 3 a day, I should be done in time.

Hooray

Woohoo!

Everyone, announcement time! Announcement!

The Answer will upload it's first 5 comics on Tuesday to celebrate the release of Strange Journey.

I can't make any guarantees when the next update will be after the first 5 (well...I kind of can, I can guarantee they'll be up at least the 31st)

But since this is the first MegaTen game released in the span where the game isn't taking place, I wanted to do something to celebrate.

So be sure to check on Tuesday to see the first five comics.

I'll mark my calender XD

So, will you involve The Answer's boss battle (Which is very hard) on your comic?

YAY! Now I have two things to look forward to on Tuesday! :D

Ok, I got two comics done

and I've got maybe...anywhere between 13-18 comics left or so. I'm not sure.

Since it's basically Wednesday the 24th, this means I have one week to finish them.

If I don't draw essentially 2 comics a day, I'm screwed.

Time is running out folks, we're in the final run here...

This calls for a jog up a long flight of stairs in a sweat suit!

No Ardal, that would be foolish.

In the time it takes me to go out, find a jogging suit I like, finding a formidable staircase to run up, then actually do it...

I could've drawn like 5 or 6 comics.

Heck, just driving to wal-mart is enough time to get a comic done. So back and forth there is at least 2 out of the way.

I've got some math homework to do tonight (and until sunday actually) but I'll try to get at least one day today and I'm free most of tomorrow so I'll get at least 3 or 4 done.

School makes comics hard...

Thats why you'll never be a wrecking machine.

Ok i'll stop now lol, good luck with the cramming :D

Nonsense, the humor keeps me motivated.

Also I know I sound like a broken mp3 here :P (what a sad look at our social commentary...) but I really wish more people would comment on the Raidou thread. Call me selfish and crazy but...I really like talking about that series, and nobody in my real life cares xD

so seriously, if you wanna know anything about the series or have any questions, feel free to swing by and chat there.

Onto some good news.

I have just finished the final boss comics in The Answer. (they actually look pretty damn cool if I may say so) So now everything I'm doing is ending stuff. This means maybe 10 more comics? At most? Ish? I dunno, depends on how I decide to do things.

I figure in about 4 comics or so I'll at least be done with March 31st, so even if I'm not fully done with the series by March 31st, I'll have March 31st to work on it, so long as it gets uploaded before April 1st.

Also, those of you who DO swing by the Raidou thread, you may notice I said I was putting off any updates until The Answer is over. Well I did get a comic done yesterday so at the very least there will be one on friday.

It feels so weird knowing that in just a few days I will be done with Persona 3 FTW...again...until like August :P

August, September or October is probably when I'll get started on the FeMC specific comics. Those won't update every day though, those'll be like maybe three times a week or so (definitely sundays at least. There aren't enough webcomics that update on sundays)

So how are you all enjoying what you've seen of The Answer? Does it feel like a different comic now that the MC isn't around? I tell you, not having him as a character did seem to make things quite a bit harder to write.

BIG. NEWS.

I haven't finished The Answer, that news is stupid. What IS important, is this.

Can you guys say Per5ona FTW?

Well can ya?

Guess what may be happening?

Oh yeah.

That crap is cool.

I have Strange Journey. I am happy.
This should tide me over for a while.

More Good News Everyone! (isn't it weird that I have to post whenever I have even the slightest bit of news? Do you guys actually care what I consider to be good news?)

Anyway, I got 3 comics done today so far. But do you know what those three comics accomplished?

It means I am done with March 31st.

Any comic I do from here on out takes place on April 1st, thus giving me one whole extra day to finish the...5-6 comics or so left in the series.

Basically, I think I'm over that terrified hump I was in a few days ago about not being able to finish on time. I'm fairly convinced that at this point, as long as I draw at least one a day (and to be honest I think i've got two left in me today) then I will finish with time to spare.

...Then I can get started on Persona 4TW...Yay...

We all knew Persona 5 was coming eventually, but still...

OOOHHH YYEEEAAAHH!!! :D :D :D :D

I have about 5 comics left to draw.

I'm feelin' good.

BUT

I also have 2 sections of math homework, a math exam, an english essay to write, and a persuasion speech outline to plan out.

So...

Depending on what I get done and how soon...I will be done.

I promise you all right now, I will finish The Answer on time.

I just might do it with not a lot of time to spare.

I'M OFFICIALLY DONE!!!

That's right folks.

I, J.C. Scott, just drew 8 comics in one day and FINISHED The Answer.

Multiple High Fives all around

( ^ ^) /\ (^ ^ )

Basically since it is so close to the 31st, I'm afraid there won't be any updates until Wednesday.(I'm gonna try to get a Raidou comic done tonight as well, so be sure to check that tomorrow for an update)

On Wednesday there will be 61 new comics.

On Thursday there will be 8

and then it's over.

How totally cool is that?

What does bum me out a little bit is that The Answer comes to 74 comics xD it woulda been nice to get an even 75, but I'm not going to go for it. I'm just glad it's all done.

Hope you enjoy it everybody. Wednesday is gonna be FUN

Awesome! I'd buy ya a drink but I'm not old enough to do that.

Wait, 61 comics in one day!?! That... is... AWESOME!!!!

Would've been 66 but you guys have already seen the first 5...'cause they're uploaded...

But yeah, 61 comics in one day.

Clear your schedule for wednesday, call in sick for work and wear a corset to keep in your innards after your sides have split.

...which is a pretty horrifying image if you think about it...

Additional: Today at school, they decided to play a french film for anyone who wanted to watch called A Town Called Panic. I am required by one of my classes to do at least "college culture" projects, and so I decided that I would watch it. The film looked fun.

The entire thing was done in stop motion animation, similar to Robot Chicken. And I gotta say...

I LOVED IT!

Oh my god, I was laughing the entire way through it. The story is about a Cowboy, an Indian (his name is Indian, i'm not being politically incorrect here) and a talking Horse.

It starts out simple with them wanting to build Horse a barbeque for his birthday, and I won't say much but it escalates from there.

This movie was absolutely hysterical from start to finish and if you ever find yourself saying "I wanna watch a foreign film I've never seen before..." then I strongly suggest you give A Town Called Panic a consideration.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to see if I can find the DVD on Amazon.

The Answer

Comes out in

Half an hour...

More updates to come.

It's officially out now

61 comics in One Day.

Go Nuts

I would like to make an announcement that only I think has any meaning.

Yesterday, March 31st, Persona 3 FTW had a total of 19,320 views

This is the most amount of views the series has ever had in one day.

The previous holder of this title was January 31st, which had 17,900 views.

So yeah...it was pretty big.

Also, today is the day. Persona 3 FTW is technically over.

I have already promised I'll do some FeMC comics once P3P comes out but...I mean those won't be out until like September or so.

It's a weird feeling now that it's over...

I dunno how to describe it.

Anyway, I have already started on Persona 4 The Win and I'm trying to get some Raidou comics done so I'll actually have stuff to update come fridays and mondays.

Toodle-Ooo everyone, you've been a wonderful audience.

Oh and don't think this thread has to just shut down and die. Feel free to ask about P4 and the FeMC stuff.

We can still make this thread a general discussion

Will FeMC be exactly like the MC?

Personality wise? Yeah, pretty much.

I may have her do something more stereotypically girly in certain situations. Like when the MC played his gameboy I could have her applying her lipstick.

But that would be sexism...

...which depending on how funny it is I might be ok with.

Wow, can you guys believe that Persona 3 FTW is currently ranked number THREE in the entire site?

Shame it'll soon lose that amount. I won't be getting 10k+ views a day now that the series is over.

But my comic is right behind Charby and Cru. Admittedly I don't read either of those comics but they've been the biggest comics on the site I think ever since I joined almost 3 years ago.

You guys helped get the series as far as it is, you guys rock.

Top 3...wow, I never expected this when I first signed up.

You deserve it Strain
