I found a badge maker at a thrift store, and I can already tell I will be going mad with power.

(It didn't actually turn out that great because it was a lo-res picture I got off google and I didn't get the plastic lined up right but I'm still happy with it, which is the most Nekonaughey thing of all.)

Nice success. :3:

Now you gotta make sets of Nekonaughey and Bunny pins and hand them out to sets of friends.

It seems mine does not.
Is there any chance you could borrow it and scan/photograph them? It would be very interesting to see those strips in action, especially since they were made like a decade before the strips I've been posting.

Can do. Remind me in few weeks if I forgot (my sleeping schedule is silly, so they often close before I get off the work).

Sorry for the confusion - I meant to say post the SGR shorts after the conclusion of this mystery. If no one objects, I'll dive in at that time!

Nice, that's great.
I've still got 11 more stories to post once Family Life is done, but it would be fun to sneak in 'Story #0' in between some of them as an intermission of sorts.

I actually think it's cool Jam is figuring out how to draw with a stylus to get Mark Trail up to snuff, it's easy to mock but I think there's been big improvements over the past week.

They really phone it in with the "current events we think are nerdy" strips but this is just extra lazy. The only time they talk about sports is pickle ball, which I had never heard of before this trash came out. This comic sucks so loving much.

Hey, just be grateful Zakour and Roberts didn't have him beaming up to the loving Enterprise.

I definitely think today's is worlds better than that one infamous strip last week, for sure, and I do think it's neat that he's putting some effort into improving his skills. However I suspect he's actually drawing more and the tablet is the excuse he has for the quality of his drawings, which I think is kind of funny since he's shown himself to be kind of an rear end in a top hat who is full of himself and has been a professional comic strip artist on a marquee strip for years now.

Looks like they googled the shirt and just masked it out for each character's normal outfit.

Surgeon's Tales

The comic skips some lines so the dialogue becomes a bit weird. In the book Bernhard humble brags how he loved 30 women already (classy dude) and Kreeta implies that she thinks that he is princess Juliana's lover.

I'm genuinely proud of him!

Now he just needs to learn to pace a story and also what human beings sound like when they talk.

As The_Other points out they follow this case (well, technically this and Hard Yards), so if you could wait until then you're more than welcome to take over.

Hard Yards goes places man. I'm not sure I like all those places, but it goes there.

Heavily agreed. I do think the results from today's are actually better than the pre-tablet strips, but there's still some real wonky proportions. Nice background, tho.

I'm still really amused that this is the result of Jams going "I'll show you, Vargo! I'll show youuuuuu!!! :argh:

I've really come to love Reboot.. I'm trying to figure out how to make an av from one of his panels that's almost, but not quite, perfect for it:

If only that circle extended all the way around, I could isolate this and make it transparent and it'd be a perfect goon av.

Baby steps, man. He's a professional cartoonist, you can't expect him to learn his actual craft all in one go.

Everyone else spent months working on their LARP costumes, but this dude bought a $20 wizard suit from Walmart.
