Here's a drawing I made of Abra. Not great, not horrible. It's meh. Felt like sharing it with you as a Mystery Update. Here's the black and white version:

Updated the Mystery Update archives, so you have a better look into the FUTURE! ZOMG. Monday will start the almighty famous Chapter 4, with a whopping 11-panel to kick the speed up. As you can see from the MU archives, there'll be 3 days with a regular page update rather than Mystery Update. Expect more of those for Chapter 4. Why? Find out.
I'd like to take a moment for us all to respect something. Bob and George is officially and forever ending. Like, now. Now, I know BnG has sucked for the past, 1 or 2 years, but it used to be funny, and it's what got a lot of spriters (myself included) into spriting. Sure, a lot of us started out as BnG-loving n00bs who thought we were good with our MM7 comics, but thanks to BnG, we all started somewhere. BnG is thought by many to be the first online sprite comic ever, and though it technically isn't, it's the first famous one. Even before Kid Radd and 8-Bit Theater. You gotta hand it to Mr. Dave Anez for going that long. Besdies, BnG literally CREATED all jokes and themes that are now considered cliche in sprite comics. Good shtuff.
Have fun everyone, and see ya Monday.

I say black and white. At least the borders don't end up pixel-y because of yer coloring technique.

I drew it by hand, on paper first. Then I inked it using a thick sharpie. I scanned it, brought up Photoshop Elements 3.0, used the Curves feature I downloaded off a site, flatlined the curves. Then I just used the Magic Wand tool to select areas of his body, and I filled them with color.

I'm still trying to figure out how those view stats work. I mean, they all end in 0's.

I've realized that....I dunno how to fix it. But, c'mon, can't you just come here every Mon, wed, and Friday? Or atleast every Monday and Wednesday. But even besides that, people that read this (I know, I check the comic's view stats) don't comment. They read but don't say anything. It makes me teh sad :(

Woah, I just noticed how huge it is. That's what I get for working zoomed-out in Photoshop.
