Update 2:
So, I hate to do this to you and all the new people reading this but I have to take the day off. Once again my real job is fucking me over and with the scenery I have for the next page will require more than the 2 hours I need to make it look presentable. So I'm going to remove some more fillers and dink with some other projects for Mob Ties during the downtime.
Thanks again for all the support with the DD award nominations, and welcome to all the new readers who actually have the patience to get all the way up to this page.
So, my ad is finally complete and I've been launching an ad campaign. I've already beaten out Cru and Charby, but Cwen seems to be stubbornly holding out. Still, it's day one.
So, this weekend I'll be attending Otakon. I will be wearing my ninja forehead protector and I'll take an updated pic of myself. If anyone is attending and wishes to meet me, let me know. I don't have a panel or anything, but I'll be talking to other comic artists for help and advice.
I was also considering spending a day dressed as the Cartoonist to interview people and record the con. I might need to trick…I mean, coerce…er…ASK my friend to play cameraman for me for a while. So look for the cartoonist too. I'll post pics on DA beforehand.
So, if you're going to Otakon and want to meet me, give me a buzz and I'll see if there's a few panels I'm planning to attend.
Oh yeah, and, Emo pirate. I didn't go with the gay or gender bender story but added another dead little sister to the Trope pile. Tho, Mayflower is technically older than Katana and NOT a twin. She was like, 20.
Edit update:
I just checked out the DD Awards page http://www.drunkduck.com/Drunk_Duck_Awards_2010/?p=726324 and I am…I mean, wow. It's amazing!I suggested best Protagonist, antagonist and Manga but you guys went all out.
This is a list of categories I've been nominated for:
*Best Dialogue
*Best Manga
*Best Website Design
*Best Romance Comic
*Best Overall Story Comic
*Best Humor Comic
*Best Character Design
*Best Writing
*Most Improved Art
*Best Anthropomorphic Comic
*Best Protagonist (TWO nominations! Sid and Mika are going to be fighting each other for this one!)
*Best Antagonist
Not including the two for Protagonist, that's TWELVE nominations! I mean, it's the unholy zodiac of award-ness! Seriously guys, thanks so much for the support. I'm really hoping to take home a win this year.
Ha! Competing with Harkovast for Best Anthro comic? I bet that really stuck in his craw. I don't expect to win that since MT is only partially furry, but I hope to at least make him sweat a little bit. Not that I'm going to try and start another flame war or crusade against him. After all, one of my characters is the Goddamn Santa Claus, that would be a little Grinchy of me.
Again guys, just…amazing. I think you guys deserve an award for best audience ever.
*Crosses fingers and hopes for an award*

If you don't win best antagonist I'll eat my shorts. Seriously AN you really know how to make your audience hate your villains. Bengal is one of the nastiest villains I have ever seen.

Ok am now caught up and cant wait for more.
Author_Ninja at 8:54PM, July 28, 2010
Indeed
omegaultima at 8:34PM, July 28, 2010
More epic you say? Intriguing. ...huh, has it really been two years since I last commented on this comic? Wow, time flies.
Author_Ninja at 4:49PM, July 28, 2010
Forklift entrance? Good idea for another storyline, but I have something far more epic planned.

I must go and vote! Mob Ties is THE only reason I got involved with anything on Drunk duck!!
thorgodofrpgs at 3:06PM, July 28, 2010

omegaultima at 12:07PM, July 28, 2010
Oh, and Congrats. Sorry, hadn't read what you had said yet.
omegaultima at 11:56AM, July 28, 2010
Brought from a couple pages back. How in the heck did these slip past me? ...for some reason, I just have this image in my head that at the very end, Sid will burst into the final room driving a forklift, for no explained reason as to why or how it got up there, to save the day.

¡¡Congrats on the top spot AN!!
Evil Emperor Nick at 6:11AM, July 28, 2010
Congrats on taking the top spot. ^_^
Beraxillia at 12:12AM, July 28, 2010

anonymous at 11:47PM, July 27, 2010
just saw you in the #1 spot on the main page! Congrats! Also, great comic!
Scythe Massakur at 11:23PM, July 27, 2010
You deserve it, Ninja! I nominated you for at least two of those.
Author_Ninja at 11:01PM, July 27, 2010
@werefox2009: Yes, I will explain those inconsistencies later in this story arc. I already finished contemplating one.
shade390 at 9:06PM, July 27, 2010
Im with werefox on the whole it probably has to do with the crash thing
FlawArtist at 6:58PM, July 27, 2010
@werefox2009 More then likely Katana still has a bit of respect for Jimbo and Bengal was beeing a huge asshat. As to why he had Mookie look like Jimbo, it was all a ruse to get her into the group. Because he really wanted her to change into his sister...or something.
manofhouse21 at 6:03PM, July 27, 2010
:epic heartbrack: wow :sob: very kindhearted under that pitate's look
werefox2009 at 5:48PM, July 27, 2010
So jumbo lost more then his arm in the wreck huh? The only part I don't get is fighting Bengal in the grave yard and trying to have mookie look like jumbo Mookie & weazy 4-eva
lugia366 at 4:28PM, July 27, 2010
