@Phase: now that's just insulting.

@LordZarth: Thanks!

There will most likely be no new comic tonight. I hope that there will be one tomorrow, and there most likely will be, but I'm not making any promises. With spring break only a week away, my teacher's are really piling on the work. I mean, 4 tests, really?

CrimsonAngel · 03-15-2009, 09:16 PM

I had 7, and i'm in 6th grade! i had 3 alone in science. and two in language. The rest were in math. T_T

Shades of Gray · 03-15-2009, 09:18 PM

3 projects for me... But I'm on break now. Yayz.

CrimsonAngel · 03-15-2009, 09:19 PM

*beach party*

Sneak · 03-15-2009, 09:19 PM

7 tests in one week?

Lemming · 03-15-2009, 09:31 PM

That sounds brutal. But then you think about it and realize all the classes that have tests won't assign homework. And tests are better than homework. At least in my opinion.

We still had HW in math and language.

Hey Sneak. I just want to say, good work on the the comic. It's funny, and it's got a neat art style. This might just be the only webcomic on this site that I'll bother to keep reading.

But I think it needs MORE umläuts!

Doesn't everything?

Er.

Döësn't ëvërythïng?

In any case, thanks.

Means a lot, coming from someone as creative as you.

Wreckingrocc · 03-16-2009, 05:37 PM

Tests make no workload change whatsoever, unless the teacher also gives out a mandatory/graded study guide.

...

Unless it's a language class.

Wait, Crimson... How do you have two tests in math in sixth grade? Multiple standardized math classes don't become available until after Algebra 2, which is (supposedly) an 11th grade course... Though it was still ridiculously easy

EDIT: As for the comic, I'm loving it. It doesn't make much sense, but... It's funny! I'm interested to see where it goes; will they kill the sultan and his pink robot army...? We shall soon see!

Also, an editing tip in case everyone missed it (I don't have time to chug through the second page): Comic #8: It says "I rode on the back of what seemed to be the back of a giant worm" or something along those lines. It should probably be "I rode on the back of what seemed to be a gaint worm" or "I rode on what seemed to be the back of a giant worm".

One was a quiz.

Big difference.

Also, why the hell would a teacher assign a quiz on the same week as a test...?

A quiz to prepare for the test. Quite logical actually.

Sneak · 03-16-2009, 06:40 PM

Yep. I've got a quiz in math tomorrow and a test on Thursday.

Anyway, there will be an update tonight. It might be fairly late, but definitely before midnight EST.

Sneak · 03-16-2009, 09:06 PM

Also, thanks Tired N' Drowzy! And thanks for catching that mistake...it's fixed now. I just noticed that in the fixed version I split an infinitive, but eh, I'm not changing it again.

Anyway...sorry for the double post, but there's a new update, so...

NEW COMIC- 10: Surprise Surprise!

Spoiler

A Rainy Knight · 03-16-2009, 09:09 PM

Hooräy for random developments!

CrimsonAngel · 03-16-2009, 09:10 PM

I löled.

Shades of Gray · 03-16-2009, 09:12 PM

Because being from the future is now a measurement of Okay-ness.

Rutskarn · 03-16-2009, 10:05 PM

Of course she is.

Phase · 03-16-2009, 10:52 PM

I like how being okay and being from the future seem to go hand in hand.

Sneak · 03-18-2009, 09:26 PM

Well, duh.

Sorry I don't have an update ready yet—like I said, this is the week from hell. I'm almost done with a new comic, and I have the scripts for the next few done already, but I dunno if there will be a comic posted before I go to bed or not.

Thanks for having patience. I have my last two tests tomorrow—after that, I'm home free, and I'll have a lot more time for webcomickry.

Sneak · 03-19-2009, 10:44 PM

Sorry for the double post. Anyway, comic is finally ready—

NEW COMIC- 11: You're Makin' Me Craaaazy

Spoiler

I've also decided to stop editing the title of the thread with updates. Too much effort.

Anyway, I promise two comics tomorrow—we'll finally be out of the stupid forest soon!

Also, I'm sorry if this comic seems a little unpolished—I'm not quite happy with it, but I just wanted to get it out so we could keep moving forward. Just bear with me here. It'll all be ok, I promise.

Hopefully.

memnarch · 03-19-2009, 11:38 PM

Nice name for the rocket.

Phase · 03-20-2009, 05:34 AM

How did she fit in that rocket? Future powers?

Sneak · 03-20-2009, 06:21 AM

It's bigger on the inside.

Sneak · 03-20-2009, 10:45 PM

NEW COMIC- No Horses Were Available

Spoiler

I played around with the positioning of the speech bubbles a bit, but I couldn't get it to look perfect. I hope it's clear that Charles is the one talking at the beginning and end.

CrimsonAngel · 03-20-2009, 10:49 PM

Thanks alot, now I have disturbing mental images.

memnarch · 03-20-2009, 10:58 PM

Hey, where'd the hamster ball go?

@CA; wth?

Sneak · 03-20-2009, 11:53 PM

...aw, crap. I knew I'd do that eventually.

Fixed now.

Also: sorry about my unreliability...it's just been a very hectic week, and I'm exhausted. It's over now, though, and I'm on break for a week, so I hope that I should be able to make up for it soon.

Shades of Gray · 03-20-2009, 11:56 PM

Awww. This is going to be an amazing love story. I can imagine some possible dialogue.

Charles: Even though there's always been a hamster ball between us, I've never felt closer to you.
