[QUOTE=rchris48;1217214]Whoa, hey come on now, this is a "G" rated thread :rolleyes:[/QUOTE]
the comic disagrees with you :p
In all seriousness, though, I left my binder which contains all of my comics (and schoolwork but that's far less important :V) in my last period class on Friday and since I had Monday off, I was not able to get it back until today. Updates will resume, uh, as soon as I finish drawing them I guess D:
D: I wouldn't say "Rush it" cause then they would be half-assed..
Just.... Hurry the production line up :D

+ you've got your first Gold star from me <3 (winner rating on OP)
I really am sorry for the dip in updates this past week or two, it's just been one bad happening after another, but now all that is over, I swear!

Interesting notes:
1. This page scanned at 10025x13900 pixels, about ten times larger than a normal page. I did not intend for it to happen nor do I know why it happened but somehow my scanner made something more high definition than it is in real life, and for that I commend it.
2. I have been waiting the entire comic to make this joke. Like, literally. Months ago, I was thinking of jokes, and decided Jack's inventory was too light, but I said GODDAMN IT THE MINUTE HE PICKS UP THAT GRENADE LAUNCHER IT'S JOKE CITY.
Then I forgot to have Jack pick up the grenade launcher. This is actually the fourth weapon-related item I've had Jack skip out on, the other three being the Chemical Thrower, and two Power to the People stations that would have given him his new shotgun and pistol upgrades. The Chemical Thrower is on purpose, but the others were, um, I guess I'll call them oversights.
...Also, this page is slightly grainier than pages usually are. No, I don't know why it happened, and no, I don't intend to try and fix it. :V
This Comic needs more awesome updates
Dont let this die :ohdear:
Don't worry, the comic isn't dying. Over the weekend my computer caught a virus while I was downloading a new Ubuntu release for my OTHER computer, the shitty laptop I have no doubt mentioned before. System32 was deleted, and, long story short, I don't have the install disk because I bought the computer from someone else. I don't have a computer capable of scanning comics, so it MAY be a while. I'm still drawing, I just have no way to scan anything. The comic will return soon, I promise.
My computer troubles have been fixed and GODDAMN IT, IT'S FINALLY TIME TO RETURN TO THE COMIC.

oh god oh god something really important is coming up and i want to talk about it but i can't without giving the whole shebang away
But, that aside, I just want to say that I'm sure 2k will someday get tired of my endless critiquing about the game and just take me to 2K Marin and shoot me. Then they will recreate my brain as a comicmaking robot, existing only to make crappily drawn Bioshock comics until the end of time.
It's good to be back.
(the text at the bottom of the page says 'how do i perspectived right D:' but paint.net fucked it up real bad)
YAY it's back.
Alright, so here's the skinny. School is completely overwhelming me, I've got to pick a college, got a job the other day, and I'm preparing to start my life. Stress is starting to bear down on me and it's rather annoying. Updates might be a little scarce for a while, but I'll try to post enough to keep people interested. I'm trying to avoid drawing at school, since I want to pay attention and finish off the year with good grades, but I have plenty of time to draw at home.
Basically, I'm still here, and I haven't abandoned the comic, it's just getting a little hard to find time to draw it. I won't leave in the middle of the story, I promise!
[editline]12th November 2010[/editline]
For now, here is page 142:
[url=http://img248.imageshack.us/img248/550/142i.png]Page 142[/url]
I wish rocket jumping was possible in the real game. I also wish I had the proof to back up where Jack picked up the grenade launcher. I wish a lot of things. :V
Sorry for missing a day. And like three last week. I swear I'll get back on schedule, or at least 3 a week. This time I mean it!
[b]NOTE: THIS PAGE IS DOUBLE LENGTH, AND THEREFORE TOO BIG FOR IMAGESHACK. IT HAS BEEN UPLOADED WITH FILESMELT, SO IT MAY NOT WORK AT CERTAIN TIMES. SORRY, THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO. :C[/b]
And so, the "Big Reveal" has finally reared its ugly, ugly head. It is impossible to say how long I've been waiting for this moment in particular, since near the start of the comic, in fact. I wish I'd have just been able to update on time because now it doesn't have as big of an impact, but here you are:
[url=http://filesmelt.com/dl/143.png]Page 143[/url]
It's a biggun. Please don't look at the spoilers until you've read the page, though I'm sure if you think for a second you can probably guess what the page is about given current events in Jack's life.
[sp]This page may be a little confusing at first. Basically, it's going back through to a few of the key moments where Jill helped Jack out and showing those panels, then showing what really happened in super-dark-contrast-o-vision. Sorry, since the comic is black and white I couldn't do much in the way of flashback type coloring. :C
Welp, there you go. Now we know that Jack's gone slightly nuts, what he really looks like at the moment, and that Jill has just been a made up way of compensating for all the stuff Jack's been going through lately all along. I really think of this as a milestone, though it isn't the next 50 up or whathaveyou, because this is the first plot twist I've done of my own accord outside of the game, and it was really tough for me to go through with it because I didn't know how the fans would like it if I strayed a little too far from the game. [/sp]
As you can probably guess, this is the most heavily edited page of the comic so far. It's twice the length, there are color alterations out the butthole, and I had to physically scale all the panels in the flashback parts because the newer template I use now has a little bit smaller panels, something I should probably fix someday. But, anyway, there you go, I hope you enjoyed this little sidequest, and believe me, there are many more to go on the way. We've still got a Vector to use! So now it's time to move on and FINALLY GET THIS DAMN CHAPTER OF THE GAME OVER WITH!
[editline]15th November 2010[/editline]
ALSO, I'm considering packing up and remaking this thread in GD to help it along popularitywise, since Creationism Corner isn't as popular as it used to be. I'm pretty sure I could make the thread there and it'd still be GD-appropriate since it does deal with a video game, just in comic form. I don't want to get banned for, y'know, wrong section, so could someone confirm that I can do this before I actually do?
this is probably a silly thing to be worried about but it's better to ask first
[b]NOTE: AGAIN, I DON'T KNOW WHY, BUT IMAGESHACK HATES ME SO IT DID NOT WORK SO I USED FILESMELT[/b]
Well technically I'm still holding to Operation 3timesaweek if I upload one tomorrow. :v:
[url=http://filesmelt.com/dl/1441.png]Page 144[/url]
OH MY GOD FINALLY. I never thought I would get this far, but we have successfully created the Vector. Hooray us!
Again, I'd like if a mod or something could maybe let me know if it's okay to haul this thread elsewhere, maybe leave a message saying I moved to another subforum or something. Lemme know alright?
Atlas, Ryan, ATLAS, RYAN. Duh, duh duh, duh duh duh DUH. Time was you could get some PAGES around here.
[url=http://img695.imageshack.us/img695/9628/145m.png]Page 145[/url]
...Whoops. Looks like I cracked that joke out a little too early. Don't worry, things will get pretty awesome once Jack FINALLY ACKNOWLEDGES THE DAMN CHEMICAL THROWER EXISTS. SHEESH.
[QUOTE=Vito_Lucente;1285860]I am commonly told by people that I am an excellent artist. I could help you make it a little less crappily drawn, if you want.[/QUOTE]
But I like it crappily drawn! My artistic talent is better than I lead on through the comic, I just draw it crappy because it's easier and contrasts the humor better. :V
Anyway, page time!
[url=http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/4390/146.png]Page 146[/url]
FINALLY, SHEESH. I thought that thing was just going to sit there forever but I guess for once Jack's come across a weapon he didn't end up skipping over. The first time I played Bioshock I skipped over the Chemical Thrower because I didn't know it was there. Silly me! More on Friday!
It's that time again!

Tomorrow we FINALLY finish up Arcadia holy shit oh my god. Took long enough.
[editline]29th November 2010[/editline]
Also, I guess this counts as an extra somehow, but I made the first two pages of a GMod comic about two of my favorite rebels in HL2:Episode 2!
[url=http://meta.filesmelt.com/downloader.php?file=GriggSheck1.png]Page 1[/url]
[url=http://meta.filesmelt.com/downloader.php?file=GriggSheck2.png]Page 2[/url]
Please don't expect any more of this, I just made these pages because of how bored I was.
-snip- wrong thread wtf did I do. guess I still had this tab open after clicking on the link to this thread from that thread about the girl who almost killed herself.
I swear to god I'm not dropping the comic, I've just been doing so many things lately that I haven't found time to upload them, but later tonight at the usual time I'll make it up, I promise. Today we start Fort Frolic!
Guys, I'm sorry I missed the update, I've just got a ton to do relating to my life in the near future and not much time to do it. I'll just start Fort Frolic at the beginning of next week. I failed you, I'm sorry. :eng99:
We all hate you now.
[QUOTE=Darkebrz;26608346]We all hate you now.[/QUOTE]
:smith:
ALRIGHT, so it's Monday, and I'm keeping to my promise this time! It's time to finally get the hell out of Arcadia!

I've always thought it was sort of funny how Cohen comes out of the blue right when Atlas is trash talking him. Atlas is like "Yeah he's totally nuts, what a loony, hahaha, I'm totally not going to get cut off for the rest of the chapt--"
Only one page until 150! OHBOYOHBOYOHBOYOHBOY
...Oh, and before I forget, yes I know the first panel in the second row of Page 148 is empty. I was going to draw something there later but I cannot for the life of me remember what it was. It was probably Cohen, but you'll see him in full view next page anyway.
Page 151! That's right, I skipped over 150 for now, I'll think of something awesome to do and fill in the gap later! Perhaps another Disney Song Page. But for now, allow me to introduce Sander Cohen!
Page 150
[url=http://img686.imageshack.us/img686/6026/151z.png]Page 151[/url]
So, it's been 150 comics. I never thought I'd get this far, but we're officially about 1/3 of the way through the game! Exciting considering I'm almost completely finished drawing it! That's right, I've drawn all the way up to Ryan's "big scene" and have just emerged into Tenenbaum's Sanctuary, where some interesting plot, uh, alterations will happen between Jack and Tenenbaum!
It's hard to believe I've drawn 150 pages of comical ol' Jack and his goofy antics, let alone while continuing another comic that's above 200 pages now, but I love drawing and I love you guys, so there's that! Operation M W F will continue as normal, so I'll see you Friday!
Idea:
Upload all.
Then copy+paste link in notepad or whatever
post links here over period of time (1 link per day like you originally had)
Therefore there is no "Holy shit my scanner broke" or "my pc got a virus or whatever"
You can just post the links instead of uploading them on the day.
Efficient much?
Augh. I'm sorry everyone, I've been sick and got a ton of new games from the Steam christmas sale. Those two combined together don't make for a very good work ethic. I'll upload this week's two comics tomorrow (or today I guess since it's like 3 AM) and then update on Friday.
As promised, it's page time!

Y'know, sometimes I make jokes and they just don't flow well, such as here. I had a panel left over after Cohen had done all his talking, and I didn't want to get rid of the page and start over, so I included a little self-insertion. Hooray for breaking the fourth wall by running a train right into it!
Also, I never thought I'd get this far. The joke about Cohen having "Plaster Master" bedazzled on the ass of his pants has been something I've wanted to do for a long, long time. All my ideas are finally coming to fruition! I love you, fanbase. Thank you for keeping me going no matter how big you really are. <3
Can there be a way to view these without continually switching tabs and hoping that you click the next one? They're really funny so far.

Well, I'm still sort of hoping I can get up a website for the comic before it's over, that way I'll have somewhere to put Bioshock 2 when I start it (yes I'm doing BS2 as well so sue me), I'd just have to have someone else host and code it.
Oh, shit, I thought I made a post, but I guess I forgot to. I am so, so sorry. I took a week off because I really needed a vacation and school was out and stuff, but one of my New Years' resolutions was to update the comic on schedule for the rest of its lifetime, so starting Monday, I am a changed man when it comes to this comic.
[QUOTE=CallumFreeman;1318986]these comics are brilliant! :)
Just a question, are you planning on making a Crappily Drawn Bioshock 2 comic once finishing this? Or maybe a comic set during multiplayer?[/QUOTE]
Well, the order I plan on doing it will go like this: Finishing BS1 is top priority. After that, I will do the PS3 DLC Trials (with a new character!), so that will finish up BS1 completely. I will start BS2 with the tail end of the Mark Meltzer ARG, and as he enters Rapture it will pick up with Delta. The two will alternate storylines periodically throughout the comic. After BS2 is done, I will do Minerva's Den, some Fall of Rapture-related comics, and then move on to BS3 eventually!
In short, I plan on doing the entire Bioshock series. So, time to get back on track [I]for good this time![/I]

This part of the game has always sort of confused me. You walk into Fleet Hall and there Fitzpatrick is, plastered to a piano that is, well, plastered with dynamite. It's only when you arrive that Cohen finally decides to blow him up. Couldn't he have just done it beforehand? If you shoot the piano, Cohen acts sadder for a moment but his reaction is basically the same. I suppose it's there because the moment really drives home that Cohen's gone totally nuts. Anyway, more on Wednesday!
It's Monday again, and that means it is also page time again!

I love reusing jokes hundreds of pages later. It's like eating a fresh tomato, waiting a week, and then eating another tomato of the same quality. It's like new!
On the other hand, I did it tongue-in-cheek, as I do with most of this comic's humor, so it's more like eating a fresh tomato, waiting a week, then eating the same quality tomato KNOWING COMPLETELY WELL that it's not the same tomato.
That was a horrible analogy, I apologize. I'm tired, had a bad day. More on Wednesday though!
