Well, it's not as though he shouldn't have known better. This was done of course with markers, and the backgrounds took for-ever, especially the last panel, but it was surprisingly faster than when I do the coloring on the computer.
Thanks for all that visited Night School,, which has by the way updated today since I finished both pages. Once again, that comic doing well (hopefully because it's good, of course)will determine if CTV ever gets published, so help us out and give it a little attention? It would help boost CTV's update schedule too, because I'd be honestly more enthusiastic about the both of them. Not trying to make ya feel guilty or anything but I do see some complaining about me taking forever to update CTV, while Night School is updating more frequently in between CTV updates. It's not as though I'm sitting around having fun with video games when I should be updating…no, ‘cuz I’m working on comics! NS is the one getting published, and I have deadlines to meet, so sadly updating CTV quickly isn't the top priority. I'm working on 3 comics and the fourth, UIU, is sadly on hiatus for now. If I didn't love CTV so much it'd be on hiatus too while I try to get things done. Just bear with me while I try to work this out. I'm not burning out on comics, it's just that I'm under a lot of pressure right now, and taking a break isn't the right answer for me.
Also, before I go I want to say something important that has been…well, on my mind a bit. I just want you to know that your comments DO matter and I read every single one, and yes, I do notice when people haven't been around in a long time, and I guess I'm feeling a little melancholy at the absence of some old faces around here. Not to say that I don't love new commenters, ‘cuz you guys rock too! I just want you all to know that no matter how many people are here, it doesn’t diminish the impact or importance that your individual voice contributes to this comic. I would not have improved so much if not for helpful guidance. And I am proud that you guys have never made constructive comments feel unwelcome, and I hope that it continues this way. (Elsewhere I've seen too many people offering good advice only to have the author, and its fans, come down on them like rabid…boulders? For having an opinion that wasn't “kiss the artist's butt for he/she is perfect!”) I'm sure some people are thinking “you're nuts, you've got enough comments already!” but it's not a quantity issue…I'd just like to know who's there, and who's STILL there after all these years.
I guess what I'm trying to say to those I haven't seen in a while…. I MISS YOUSE! (and don't think I don't know when you're gone!) What I really need is to get in contact with everyone again. Sadly, dial-up does NOT help. Really, I notice this slump is due to me rarely having time to even read comics that I love, let alone new ones with large archives. Hopefully I'll be getting a faster internet soon. Hopefully…expect to see me around DD a lot more then. It seriously takes like 3 minutes to even look at a single page these days.
I'm really afraid of people growing bored of me, though…
Heya Amy. Charby is rocking harder than ever. Man, everytime I see a new page it's like you've improved 10X more when it was perfect already. ^^ How is that possible?
And this is all Markers too? Amazing, looks wonderful!
I had a weird dream last night! Charby was in it. He was watching a concert when sully from monsters inc. Pulled up outside in Freakazoid's freakmobile. Turns out Sully was his dad and let Charby jump in the driver's seat. they were in this giant mall like place and there were enemies of some sort after them and they had to drive over 811 MPH to escape. So they made it to the exit but Charby had to get permission to leave from his teacher. Who was this dominatrix woman. Then there was a musical number about how "Charby loved the teacher with the big black boots." That's all I remember now.
aaaaaaaahahhha... poor Menu... I forget though... how long is that spell supposed to last? when does he get to go back to being himself?
I love this comic and it makes my day when I see that you've updated *nodding*... I completely understand you being busy though, especially since this is not your only comic or the only thing you do with your life... just keep the updates coming, no matter how long there is in between ;) I'll be here waiting ;)
amilius, you shouldn't worry about people getting bored. you comic is addicting and i find myself re-reading for the third time.
you story is wonderful and your characters are endlessly amusing!
(same with nightschool although i'm confused so far)
LOVE IT!
Grrr. latecomentness, I can only comment when I am in just the right mood for some reason, well anyway the page is great and I love Mannick's face in the second panel.
lolness, i haven't been posting on here much, though. school just started few weeks ago *evil muttering* and my teachers have overloaded me already. i've had some two tests in each subject, have no study hall, am in publications, so we have to have the yearbook ready in seven days, have three projects due friday that i've done jack squat on, and two XC meets this week, although i did just finish in 7th in my last one out of some sixty kids, and i've never ran XC in my life, so i was pretty proud.
sry about that rant, i'm trying to stall. got a ton of math, and math sux.
I haven't read your comic in a while because I had gotten in the habit of reading you at work :p. I teach, so I haven't been at work for a couple of months. I do find your marker work to be quite impressive, and agree that this would definitely be acceptable or even desirable on a long term basis.
I'm sorry to hear that. I've been reading your comis for about a month (But I've read it as a whole in 3 days ^^) I think it's about time I started commenting.
The main reason I started reading Charby was that I got bore oh Elijah and Azuu but for some reason I don't think I'm going to get bored of Charby any soon.
And the rare updating makes me want to read Charby even more.
As Tim I can't think of anything else to say. Execpt that I really like your comics and I hope you'll be able to get in touch with the older members.
"(Elsewhere I've seen too many people offering good advice only to have the author, and its fans, come down on them like rabid...boulders? For having an opinion that wasn't "kiss the artist's butt for he/she is perfect!")"
Boulders? Too nicely put. More like rapid hyenas attacking a fresh carcass. I have personally been the one who has gotten those boulders or hyenas on his head... I'm not mentioning any names, but the gaming comics seem to be the worst ones. I'm avoiding their forums for a reason.
Who, we, bored? I haven't been here for a year, but you already seem like long lost sister to me, which is both freaky and sad at the same time. I really need a life.
Readers coming and going is part of the cycle... It's like life and death. All you can do is to get used to it.
Oh and on more thing! With this Night School and Charby that both seem to center around children, I'd like to see you to draw a comic about adults for once... I have only seen them in UIU, but that's mostly in chibi style. Not that you have the time right now, but yeah. Someday?
No way people could get bored of you!! I am checking all the time for updates! I am going back to school though so I don't know how often I will be able to, because my school computer SUCKS (like you said, 3 min per page IF NOT MORE) but I will be around as often as possible. And I will start commenting more, too, I didn't realize how much it helps :)
Go, Amy, go! *runs off to check for updates on UiU and to check out NS*

Just felt the need to say how much awesome your comic exudes. Oh wait.. I already did. Meh, might as well do it again.

Not bad, not bad at all. I really like your coloring, ( It looks like traditional color I'm guessing?) anyways, good comic.
