"Alright, someone's getting laid tonight," was the original ending...but I thought that maybe I should make it sentimental instead. Now, neither of them seem to be very fitting, but I'm still holding out hope that the situation will be resolved.

Friday will be a recycled page, to bring everyone up to speed on where we left off, and then updates will continue on Fridays! Thanks for reading through this 40+ page experiment, and it was a ton of fun to do. Future black and white updates might happen, but I need a little break for a while.

Once a week in color will be enough for me for now. :D

Another twist! The swordsman, although he has been mortally wounded, is still able to defeat his opponent (granted, with a little help).

I'm going to ACEN tomorrow in Chicago, so if you're in the are be sure to stop by. I won't be at a booth or anything, just wandering around the con - checking out the artist's alley set ups, and trying to get autographs and interviews from Power Rangers star Jason David Frank (Tommy)!

I'm a nerd, I know. :P

Chapter 6.17

Pete the Pet Rock was a character from another birthday comic I did for my friend Carl (yes, the same Carl who I did a wedding comic for, which started this whole @$$hole! web comic series). Pete was just a rock, but people would respond to him as though he had actually said something. If you want to check out the story, click this link for the first page (and navigate to the subsequent pages).

Laura basically reacted this way when I gave her the box (although she guessed what it was full of before I could give the speech). Here's your sappy ending. Only one more page left in this story arc, and then we go back to color updates on Fridays. I hope you've enjoyed the ride!

And we return full circle, to the very first page (seriously, go check it out). Clearly, this fight has not gone the way it was planned to go. If I could do it all again, I would make each of these panels a full page spread, though - more dramatic.

Three more pages to this story, and then it's finished. The ending will have been reached. And the very next update after that will be the first prequel, The Legend of Abraham, which will update on Mondays only (and we'll still have Fan Art Friday).

Chapter 6.16

"And I even punched a guy with a dictionary!" was a line from a film I shot in high school, and I really wanted to try to use something similar here. I don't think it worked as well, unfortunately.

This is a true gift that I got for Laura, and her reaction was about the same (see the next page). However, it was also accompanied by a stuff tiger (which she has named Le Tigre):



I also got her a bag of candy ring pops, because we have a personal joke about wedding rings. I always ask her, "Why would a woman want something as permanent as gold and diamonds, when they can switch out the color gem on their ring on a daily basis and have it match up to their outfits! Also, if you ever get that need for sugar, you can stuck on your ring!"

She didn't like the idea, but I still think it's funny.

People have asked for it, and I've been holding off (perhaps for too long), so here it is: Olivia's original character designs for The Legend of Abraham prequel. This is her artwork and coloring (water colors). The entire story will look like this, as I wanted it to have a fairy-tale like feel to it. Olivia hit the artwork right on the nose!

The Legend of Abraham will be 25 pages, and will update weekly on Mondays - and I'll maintain Fan Art Fridays. Enjoy!



You too can contribute to "Fan Art Fridays!" Fan Art will be displayed in the order that they are received, and each person who submits a piece of fan art will receive a mini-review like above. Please include a link to the comic you would like reviewed if you have multiple titles. Please send me fan art and links through a PM (or quack). :D
