This is my first comic with a graphics tablet. Sure the original sketches are still done with pencil, but I did most of the other steps entirely with the tablet. It took some getting used to, but it made a clear improvement to some of the processes I use for my comic. Hopefully, now that I'm past the learning curve, the next one will be quicker.
I clearly need more screenshots as I had to scrape for this one. When I activate my account for Christmas (god! Has it been a year already?), I'll have to focus on taking as many as I can.
Fun Facts
- Big Apple is a character I promised to use in my comic since my third comic. A forum friend really helped me out with some screenshots so I was going to use his "Big Apple" character in a comic that I'd already planned. The problem was that, other than a brief, boring cameo in comic 3, it took over a year to get to the end of the story (sorry Lord X!)
- The reference to Lemons and Carrots is another in-joke with my forum friends (Das Carrot and Evil Lemons are two other members of our forum). I plan to add a panel to this comic eventually once I get a screen capture of their characters to do so (2007.12.09 – DONE!).

Just got done reading all your comics and I have to say I’m very impressed. You’ve got a cute art style, great characterizations and I like how you include the peculiarities of CoX gaming and MMO gaming in general in them.
Looking forward to more, great work!
Thanks!
You missed Kiwano from the veggie medley! Such is life, great comix man
Someone should probably mention that the only Veggie in this comic is Das Carrot. Big Apple and Evil Lemmons belong to the Veggie Meddley’s sister SG, the Fantastic Fruits.
I updated the page to say that, but the pre-comic notes are closed. I’ve opened them by default so people can see them now.
