MT Issue 35: Page 20

Update:

Ouch! Okay, a while back I requested a review from these guys. I dunno, maybe I thought they were the mediators or something. But, whoever they are, they tore me a new one.

They said the story was confusing and the plots were perverted (which I grant you, there is a little bit but its not like I have people parading around shirtless, and that the art was bad (Hilarious considering how these two guys draw themselves). Mob Ties was as they claimed the WORST comic they've reviewed.

I mean, seriously…OUCH! I do worry about this stuff, and the backgrounds are often lacking but I don't have a lot of time to work on them. This…I mean, I try to be thick skinned, but this one really hurt my ego.

I dunno, don't take my word for it. Here's the article.

They're entitled to their opinion and I'm not going to get mad or ask you guys to flame them or something. It's just…I mean, you guys nominated me last year for best manga-style comic. I know MT is sort of a niche comic but…I never expected anything THIS bad.

I'm a wee bit depressed now.

That's right, the drunk duck awards are here again! I just happened to be checking on the status of MT when I noticed it.

Which means I'm asking for your support again this year! I would just love to win best manga-styled comic (I think they shorted it to Manga this year), but like I said, I would also love to see either Sid or Mika win best Protagonist, or Definitely Bengal as Best Antagonist. Serious, I think Bengals got a good shot at it, he's a read rotten bastard. So, vote for MT please!

The annoying Nominate Banner will be removed every day and then reposted on the newest page until the deadline on July 20th. Sorry for the shameless self promoting, but winning would be great advertising fodder and a major ego boost. I sure could use one after the month I've been having.

I think this one pretty much speaks for itself. But I think this sums up the entire reason behind Bengal's motivation.

So, I know these backstories can be long and tedious. Was it worth the wait?

Your ad here, right now

Actually I'm rather surprised that Bengal hasn't already made a move. Sid's in a coma, and sounds like he has been for awhile, so I figured the Purple Panda's would already be under attack. Heck...I'm surprised their not under total siege as Sis as much as told the other clans he was going to come after them. Perhaps the alliance with the Gray mice has helped?

Agh, now your making me homesick AN. I used to live in Alaska and I loved watching the Northern Lights whenever I could. So beautiful up there.

lol @ taro being the only one not getting it.

@ lothar: The Aurora Borealis. Otherwise known as the Northern lights. This suggests she is in Alaska or even farther north. It's possible that she spent some time hiding out with an Inuit (Eskimo) tribe for a while to avoid Bengal. She also fought as a Marshal in the Old west, fought in both world wars, and even spent a whole summer touring with the Beatles.

@ Manofhouse21: Yes it did. Which is why this backstory is necessary. However, the very most basic plot has remained the same. This is essentially a longer version of the short story Kyoko was reading at the beginning of issue 2. Back then I didn't really know where I was going with the story in. Hell, that first year I was mostly just astounded I'd made it that long. Now MT has sort of taken on a life of its own. It's been one hell of a ride and it's just picking up steam.
