albiet, abit slowly.Sorry for not having a comic on wednesday, had a little school crisis.I assure you (technical problems notwithstanding) that there WILL be a comic tomorrow (friday) because it IS drawn, and it IS scanned... lets just hope it updates.
thank you for your patience and patronage.:Edit:
yes, I know there are a 'few' things I have said I would have done by now... just bear with me on these. I havn't forgotten.But with my band needing to practice for a show audition I havn't had alot of spare time.

Hmmm... Looks like the comic didn't update properly. The lower portion seems to be cut off.And, personally, I'd like to see <A HREF="http://www.megatokyo.com/index.php?strip_id=171" TARGET=_blank>this</A> video game (it's mentioned in the last panel... you don't have to speak l337 to get it). <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/smile.gif">Peace;

The lower half of the image is missing, guess the upload disconnected to early, I know that from my homepage graphics. <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/smile.gif">I saw lately someone on TV who was playing this weird Dance-Game, but the camre didn't show the scream, neither I had turned on the sound of the TV (was listening to music and needed some visual stimulation as well), so I was wondering concerned, what kind of weird twitching illness the poor guy must have.

Now that the comic has updated right, I want to ask you guys what you think of it visually.You may have noticed that it isn't penned. I've found that penning my comics adds about 30 minutes to an hour onto my creation time, sorely limiting any room for shading (not to mention the rest of my life). You may also have noticed that this comic IS shaded. Shading takes very little extra time for me and can add alot to the depth of pictures (if not the "legibility" of them).
so I ask you this:do you like this comic better with all the nice shading (especially the 6th and 8th panels)? saving my poor attempt at having a life outside of this comic(and decreasing the number of times I can't make update time because of other work).
or do I need to go back to penning to make it look better? even if that means less/no shading and more updating lapses.on a different note:

Or when, then this person didn't tell me that.
Strange...

Strange...<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>Well, in the broadest general sense of the term, I "play" guitar (a real one... with strings and all). Of course, when I say "play" I mean I can strum a few chords but not put them together into any sort of recognizable song. I'm sorely out of practice. I can squawk a few notes on a recorder and actually play a song or two on my bowed psaltery. I have a few other instruments that I don't "play" like my eletronic keyboard, tin whistle, bodhran (a celtic drum), hammered dulcimer and soprano balalaika.Looks like I'm living out my rock'n'roll fantasy through Punk. :/Peace;

WOOHOO
NEW COMIC! <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/biggrin.gif">
Sorry for not being there earlier, work and school projects been killing me for the last couple weeks... x_xFirst, I'd say i prefer shading. Gives more depth to the drawing, and is MUCH prettier. ^_^
But at the end, it's your call, so...And good luck with the school auditions, or whatever it is.

I'm still working that stupid research for tomorrow morning, and I have a Mac assignment I'll have 30 minutes to do tomorrow morning too, so my memory ain't focused on all these things right now... x_xBTW...
LOVE THE NEW CARTOON!
Although i knew they'd be playing this game, I didn't thought of it to be that way... -_^

What?!? Having a life beside this comic! How can you dare!
(kidding! <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/wink.gif"> )Actually I have to admit I wouldn't have noticed that it wasn't penned when you wouldn't have told me so. Not penning it doesn't seem to be a decrease in the comic style for me, while shading definitly increases it.
So when you take votes, count me in for the newer method.
<IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/smile.gif">And Mr PunkTiger, you still can become good in guitar playing.
I myself have paused for years, and just a few month ago started to play it again.
I already finished all my beginners play books again and learned some songs my guitar teacher didn't manage to teach me as I had lesson.
I can give you lessons if you'd like to (lesson is free but the approach I have to bill <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/biggrin.gif"> ).

He's more the exception rather than the rule.For now, I'll listen to my upbeat rock and punk bands with a solid dash of Van der Graaf Generator (for my Recommended Daily Allowance of angst), create compilation CDs, and think of all the cool songs that Clovertone (Punk's band) would cover.(sigh) It's all I've got for that dream now. <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/frown.gif">That, and flying you in from Germany just for guitar lessons would be murder on both your sleep cycle and my wallet. <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/wink.gif">By the way, Zillford, a professional git pays a little less than a professional fruit-waxer.Peace;

Too bad, Mr Punktiger, but in case you suddenly win in the lottery, I could try it with teaching guitar at least. And forget my sleeping cicle, I'm becoming slowely nocturnal here momentary. Over there it would fit sort of again. <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/biggrin.gif">But till then, just tell me when Clovertone is on concert.
