RANTS 'N STUFF (But without the stuff. And the "'n".)
Year 2002, Month 02, Day 25.
Woo. New comic. I can't assert how much I have waited for the day when I could get a good graphics program. The reason there was not an update for so long, was that I had no graphics program, and no scanner. This left me disspirited. While I still have no scanner, I now have a graphics program known as "The GIMP." I create, completely and from scratch, my comics on there from now on. Anyhow, that is all for now. I hope you people can forgive me for my long absence.

Hey, everybody. I didn't have time to color, so you get the colored version tomorrow. More rant then, too.
Year 2002, Month 02, Day 26.
Woo. Another new comic done on time. If you don't understand the comic, you either need to read some manga. Either that, or you just don't understand the comic, and you can ignore the madman, the one sitting at the computer writing this, and go on with your life. You can also check out the next comic and see if it makes more sense. Update schedule for now: I'll update about every three or four days, and if I don't update it in a long time, I'll tell you why. I do hope you like the comic, then. Note: There is a higher quality version of today's comic here.

Curses. It seems to be a failing of mine that whenever I promise something to my adoring fans, I have to bloody well break that promise. I went over to friend's houses, was and am avalanched by homework, and fell sick. This sucks. Now, I sick Gojiro (known to the uneducated as Godzilla) on Tokyo. GRARR!
Note: There is a higher quality version of a few days ago's comic here.

New comic done. Informal schedule: Tuesdays. If I decide to do more comics, that's a yay for you, the readers. Since, obviously, my comic is your favorite, and at the top of your big list of places to go to. I mean, how could it not be? It's so great. I love my comic. I would hug it, but it's data in my computer, and my printer is not working. If you want, you could print out a copy and hug it. I'm sure that that would make my comic feel loved. I shall now criticize myself. I used the supernova filter (the sun) after merging the text layer with everything else. I also did not completely fill everything in with color. I'm thinking of using the pencil tool, which makes rough edges, as opposed to using the paintbrush tool that I currently use, which has smooth, fading edges. opinions? send me mail. Address is down there. Note: day is accurate, since I update at 11:56.
Year 2002, Month 03, Day 20. Time: around 3:00, EST.
I put up a comic very, very late yesterday. I don't remember the time, and I don't think I want to. Yes, those are killer ballerina robots. That's all I have to say for now, except that a links and a fanart section are now up.
Year 2002, Month 03, Day 26.
Wow... an update on time for once. This is... strange. Okay, so today, which would be Tuesday, there is a new, funky comic up. Apparently, there was a Mr. Rogers thing long ago in which there was a knife who just wanted to be a spoon, so it could get a hug. The thing is, I don't remember this Mr. Rogers skit. Aah well, a nice taste of yummy, refreshing nostalgia to those who remember. Now, tomorrow, which would be Wednesday, there'll be a comic up by a webpageless friend, Peter. He has made a total of two comics for me, and I had intended to save them for when I couldn't do a comic, but he's been bothering me about it, so I agreed to put it up. And we have our menu for this week. I wish a sideways smile to all the cool people reading this strip.
Year 2002, Month 04, Day 02.
Arg. Comic will be up on Thursday if you're lucky, Friday if you aren't. Comic currently up is done by my friend, Peter. If you aren't lucky, I have to work rather late, so I will then need to sleep after working.
Year 2002, Month 04, Day 05.
I apologise to all me readers. I bow down and kiss your feet, if you ever decide to return. I shall sum up this rant in haiku, after repeating that the previous comic up was my friend, Peter's. It wasn't obvious enough, and some people might have mistaken it for mine.

I am very late,
I tried to update Tuesday,
I failed badly.
Year 2002, Month 04, Day 10.
Here's what I would be saying if I had been able to connect to Keenspace yesterday:
"Arg. The teachers like giving me big assignments. I'll get a comic done tomorrow, but in the mean time, you get to look at Peter's wonderful comic. Which, by the way, is done my Peter. My friend. Whose website doesn't exist yet. Aah well, you can still go to Burr's and Avelyn's sites. Which, by the way, both have very good comics. So go there you should."
That's what I would be saying, if I had been able to connect to Keenspace and update yesterday. As is, there is a comic up today by me, instead of a guest comic by Peter up yesterday. You should still go to Burr and Avelyn's sites, though.
Note: There is a higher quality version of the comic from a
few months ago here.

Arg. Here's another comic by Peter. No more to say.
Year 2002, Month 04, Day 22.
Hey, everybody! I don't quite have the time to do comic today, so you get one tomorrow. One by me, in usual full-color format. For now, goodbye, and goodnight.
Year 2002, Month 04, Day 23.
It's 6:45 my time, and I just got a comic done. Hurrah for that. Well, I go off for now. Goodnight!
Year 2002, Month 04, Day 30.
I completely spaced doing a comic yesterday, so you get one now.
Year 2002, Month 05, Day 06.
Woo! I do a comic on time for once, and it's darned funny! You don't get any more rant, since it is about 11:00 in the night. So, have a nice night, and don't let the ninjas totally flip out and cut your head off! No, I don't know if he is joking, either.
Year 2002, Month 05, Day 10.
Hey, you people visiting on today, Friday. You get an extra-special treat. A flash animation badly done by me! Since today I seem to guest star in not just one, but two comics, you get a flash animation inspired by one! Note that I, not Shin, the Chicken Man, appear. If you remember the comic before the one currently up on this site, I was there. I haven't seen these comics myself, also, so many of you will see them before even me. They are at Avelyn's site and Burr's site. There are three buttons in my flash animation, and a secret one. If you press it, ninjas totally flip out and cut the pirate's head off!
Year 2002, Month 05, Day 13.
Hey, everybody! Today, there's a guest comic up by Avelyn, which is superkeen, since I would've forgotten to do a comic today. Well, for those of you who didn't visit Friday, you can see a flash animation badly done by me! Well, this is Matt, stopping the rant... for now! As a note, there are three buttons in my flash animation, and a secret one. If you press it, ninjas totally flip out and cut the pirate's head off!
Year 2002, Month 05, Day 20.
The new comic goes up on Wednesday. Rarr. You can still see a flash animation badly done by me. As another note, a new bit o' fanart is up. Yay for that.
Note: There is a higher quality version of the comic from a few months ago here.
Year 2002, Month 05, Day 22... you'll be seeing it Wednesday, probably.
New comic today. I do not like how this one turned out, but it shows that I have a scanner. Maybe I should've colored it? Anyhow, you can still see a flash animation badly done by me. As another note, a new bit o' fanart is up. Yay for that.

Yeah, comic done on time for once! Woo hoo! It's done like this because I needed humor and actual fight scenes aren't humorous. Also, finally, I link my friend, Burr.

Argh,
you get some filler, and I intend to do a comic on tomorrow for Thursday to make
up for this. I would've posted the filler earlier, but yesterday Keenspace was
not letting me get into my account. It made me sad.

Never
mind about today's comic, I wasn't able to get it done. Sorry. Anyhow, you can
still see a flash animation badly
done by me.
Year 2002, Month 06, Day 11
I have new comic done on time. But, I must sleep now, so you get no rant. Hahahahahahahahaa, haha, hahaa, ha. Anyhow, you can still see the pirate flash.
Year 2002, Month 06, Day 18
Argh. I was unable to make a comic today. The elephant who distills funny for me has gone on vacation. Luckily, Burr managed to make me some fanart, even though he is currently on vacation. Anyhow, you can still see the pirate flash.
Year 2002, Month 06, Day 25
I make comic! However, I only partially colored it, since it is late o' clock where I live, and I should probably get some sleep. So, without further ado, goodnight. Anyhow, you can still see the pirate flash.
Year 2002, Month 07, Day 2
Important Question: If anyone knows where to get an inexpensive copy of Flash (hopefully Flash 5.0 or Flash MX), please mail me! I have neither the patience, nor the bandwidth, nor the un-paranoia to download and use warez, so don't mail me "Hey I got this great warez site go here!!!!"
I made a comic, so I should probably update the rant, right? Well, I shall rant. I now have Windows 2000 Professional. Good, right? I should be able to run all of my old programs, right? Wrong. Most of my old programs don't work. My old emulation software (zSNES, NESticle) still works on it, but my AOL 7.0, the program of evil, doesn't. No offense intended to anyone who is involved in AOL and would squish me with their mighty lawyers, by the way. Also, it can't seem to find my Excel or other programs. I so very much wanted to play a Spy Hunter-esque game. Anyone notice the Brian Clevinger type of rant? I'd like to say it's because I love you guys, but it's because I dislike my new Windows. Luckily, I have my old Win 98, so I can use everything still. I'll probably re-install
