Some people might recognise this from Twitter.. it was one of my more funchallenging pages. Souppy is the one who made all the cool colours, so praise him for that.
Jessica sure is a rebel
By the way guys, Top Webcomics is down so we’ll have the third page up until it comes back - depending on how they go, you might have to wait until Wednesday for the next page of the Molly comic. Sorry! We aren’t sure what to do about it, but we’ll make sure you get a day to check it out either way.

I should note, that the voting thing appears to be “dis-functional”, I don’t know if I have a bad connection or something, but I remember someone saying something about “TWC” being down or something

Is it just me, or does the bouncer look like a really buff K.K. Slider?

Ah Paulo’s only lacking one thing:Confidence! He still knows how to be a proper ladies man, he’s just too busy worrying that he isn’t to do it right!
Alas, I don’t think he’s going to realize that in time.
Like how you play with the colors Tae~

Pablo:
TWC had scheduled a server upgrade between 1 and 2 May.
I guess things didn’t go according to plan…
The error it shows gave me a good laugh though:
“Line 72: If objNewsItem.id = 0 Then”
“Line 73: ‘What do we do? Hide the whole thing?”
Oh, and YAY for new comic! ^_^

Finally the mysterious club entrance page. Wow, it ended really really cool looking. Kudos to both of you.
Paulo really outdoes himself each day in the funny faces department. Just look at him! He just broke the poor bouncer’s mind just by sheer naivety/stupidity/cuteness.
And hey, Jessisca is being nicer to him here. That’s not saying much of course… the ignoring treatment would have been an upgrade from before.

I dont really plan on ever drinking, I get nearly drunk enough by how many cokes I drink (by drunk i mean sugar high where i get woozy and vision blurs… I actually do look drunk though) the hangovers suck too =/
and if your wondering how many I drink, ive been drinking for 10 years and ive drunk around 12,000 =/ im actually drinking one now lol… 12,001

Pronkat, it’s all an elaborate trick. You can apply this bizarre “Gradient Map” command to greyscale shading and it magically colourises it. So all I really contributed was finding the right preset, and then doing careful selections.

Bouncer’s just upset he can’t get any younger. :o
Let’s hope Paulo’s date doesn’t end up with ecstasy and lots of regrets later. Even though Jessica was a tad nicer to him here, she still looks like a bitch. ‘Scuse my french~
Also, another ‘round of applause for the colours! The club entrance looks like something out of a comic book, heh!

3.take their colths off
4.Have sex
5.Wake up naked
6.Won’t remember what happen

@Ravengal Eeeexactly
Dates in a dancing club always end with a “white man dance”, a cup of strong drink, and you waking up with so much qrrbrbel in your brains (because the drink is always spiked), probably discovering you slept the whole night inside a trash bin.
And if you have your wallet, be scared.
Because you probably have one less kidney. Ò_Ó

Just wanted to say hello. Your ad on… some comic (I believe Precocious?) drew me to this place, and I have rationed out the archives over the last several days. I really enjoy this comic a lot, and sadly, identify with Mike far too much… not in the sense of him being my favorite character, but in the sense of reminding me overly of myself in high school. I really feel sorry for Lucy and his other crushes… they really had their hearts crushed, and it makes me feel kind of bad about myself back in the day…
But enough of that sunshine! I really enjoy the comic, so I’m afraid you’ve got yourself another reader. Its quite impressive how much better you have gotten at making comics over the time you’ve drawn them. Well done!
And you have hilarious ads for this place. I enjoyed the one that is made to look like a romance game. I may have saved it. >>
