Comic Update: I used up all my money trying to please you and I want it back
I’m still changing around styles to see what works. I know I was sticking with one way for a few weeks, but I’ve grown a bit tired of it. I’ve also redesigned Tina’s hair a bit so it actually makes sense–at first it looked the same at any angle, which is of course very wrong, but I did it anyway. After observing the hairstyles of characters such as Yoshika Miyafuji from Strike Witches and Shishidou Akiha from Sora Kake Girl, I adjusted my method of drawing Tina’s hair accordingly. Notice how I went out of my way to do profile shots in the last two comics–that was so I could get a hang for drawing her hair like that.
This comic is better than the last one, but there are elements that are still a little off. The real important part about this comic is that the third panel is 100% truth. I saw that EXACT GUY in the Porter Exchange Mall one day when I was walking around, Naruto headband and all. It may have also been the same I guy I saw wandering around Harvard Square dressed as the Joker on the day after Halloween. I’m not sure if he had a girl with him or not at this point, but I added one anyway to make the picture all the more frightening.
In just ten days I’ll be on a plane to Japan. Comic making will still happen while I’m in Japan, and the comics made there will probably take advantage of my experiences being in Japan. Hopefully this trip will give me more to work with as far as the comic goes, since I’ve been treading the same ground–for better or for worse–for a while, so this trip will probably breathe new life into the following comics. Hopefully.
I have a bunch of final episodes/next to final episodes sitting on my desktop that I haven’t watched, so I can’t really waffle on about anime at the moment. Instead, please watch this amazing Idolm@s MAD. Later!
THAT MAN HAS THREE DIFFERENT HEADBANDS! HE BELONGS TO THREE DIFFERENT HIDDEN VILLAGES! WHAT IS THIS I DON’T EVEN
You know that Halloween episode of the Simpsons where all the worst people of the world are on a rocket heading for the sun? That’s what I’d like to do for all those Narutard cosplayers.
I want to go to Japan someday too.
The guy you saw looked exactly like that? God, I don’t know how those people do that. I’m way too self-conscious. Cosplaying at a convention is one thing; just dressing like that out in public is quite another.
So wait are these naru-goths or something? Loligoth is one thing, but Naru-goth is taking it too far I think.
Soo uhhh, you people an recomend me something to watch? last think I wacthed was Geass 2 >.>
I remember living in Savannah and while at Grayson Stadium I saw one of the fans in attendance wearing an FMA shirt and the orange Naruto jacket, I thought “one of these fans is not like the other…”
To Marco-I’m enjoying Akikan (it’s so ridiculous, it’s brilliant). If you want something from a few years ago, try Simoun.
Or just do what I tell anyone that starts a recommendation thread on 4chan, watch Angel Cop (dubbed preferred) and Madbull 34 (again, dub is pure comedy gold).
I wish I could shake your hand for making this comic.

Whoh! This place exists! Maybe we should organize a get-together there…
Sadly, I am not in the area at the moment.
this week’s comic reminded me of the “How much do those headbands even cost?” comic you did a while back
Just as Tina said, Better wear anime T-Shirt such as Kudryavka T-Shirt than cosplay at public area.
God. This one time, I was walking down the sidewalk outside my building, when I saw some narutard, must have been 15-16. come out of the public library wearing one of those headband things… My sheer astonishment at seeing something like that around here kept me occupied long enough for him to leave my line of sight.
I suppose it’s just as well. Of all the places to murder someone in broad daylight, the middle of Main Street is probably not the least-public choice.
dear god, welcome to my high school.
Also, be ready to save the lives of dying 1337-speakers on your plane to Japan… OR LET THEM DIE.
Heh. This reminds me of that one naruto tattoo guy from way back when.
Both 100% based on TRUTH

WIll do…minus the 4chan thing >.>
Damn this strip has started influencing dreams ive had, an amalgamation of the two narugoths in this strip showed up in my dream last night.
If you’re into copious amounts of sex and gunshot decapitations then Mad Bull 34 is top-notch entertainment.
Awww, the old naruto fangirl was cute, not some creepy goth girl, I miss her now, haha. Although you really should keep the cosplayers akin to their real life equivalents (at least over here) i.e., much bigger and uglyer, heh…
