THE GREAT NOUN ADVENTURE RETURNS!
Every June, patrons on Patreon suggest nouns and I combine them in unique ways. See the results!
VOTE FOR FLORAL!!!
In other news...
First, this comic is brought to you again by the two stalwart supporters The Lurker and Jeremy, who are both Mayor of Pucksburg again. Maybe you're generous enough to join them! CHECK OUT THE PATREON!!!
As for this comic...
These recent strips have really been taking out of me for for the simple reason that there are so many characters in play. Time spent drawing this comic usually comes down to the number of characters per panel. And these recent comics have just had a crazy crowd of characters. At least the tiger is gone now. Tigers are hard to draw.

Yeah…it is best to just let the tiger leave the scene of the incident. I mean how else would anyone be able to explain it?
Police generally respond badly to roaming tigers.
Come on. It’s not like the robot’s owner is going to show up and blame you for something.
Perhaps not. But it’s one of those things that’s a little hard to explain.
We found it!
O.K., that wouldn’t work.
I don’t know much about tigers or ninjas, but I do know tigers have bigger teeth.
Emily Xray votey is fun, and detailed and looks complicated to draw.
Also begs the question can X-Ray specs see through word bubbles?
X-Ray specs can totally see through word bubbles. They’re made of light and airy stuff.
Haddaway took the arm with him, right?
Yes. We seem to be down an arm.
My God. There’s an armed tiger roaming the streets!
Da dum dum tish!
well of course, every kitty needs her chew toy 😉
Would “NINJA VANISH” be a better show than “AMERICAN NINJA”.
Same premise, but the have to be unseen for half of the obstacle course and hitting the buzzer.
Americans don’t like being unseen.
It does kind of cut against the grain of reality T.V.
Are they standing on the street? Public property rather than private property?
They’re on private property, but the cops are responding to the Cabal’s call for assistance with a home invasion.
Nothing to see here officer, everything is under control now.
It was just our Roombas playing up.
Eh, the cops probably just want to pose with the A-Team van . . . it could happen!
It could.
Emily’s got quite the rack…. of ribs! I bet this panel took you a while to compose.
I’m curious when Satan is going to emerge, shade and mayorial authority restord, ready to dismiss the incoming cops. Or perhaps there’s another climatic event to happen — maybe Phoebe summons a murder of crows to come clean up the crime scene?
Does Satan really ever have real authority? I’m not certain he does.
As for the Emily pic, it involved drawing three layers of the image, and in order to make it easier, I just drew the full skeleton. I’ll likely put other variations on Patreon eventually.
Wow! X-ray specs that really work! Great job drawing Emily, EG!
You had to buy the X-ray specs from the right comic books, I guess.
In the vote incentive, is her underwear made of lead?
Well, not necessarily lead. Maybe stone?
Let’s see, what material is not see-through on X-ray and was used to make underwear … hint: it was worn by princess in kinda famous 1983’s movie …
Is it brass or bronze? Pot metal? Resin polymer? There was one made of leather I believe. I don’t know if it was used during filming.
I was about too ask “Who’s that in Panel 2 with the blue hair and the assless leather chaps”… but OF COURSE it’s Daphne.
Cassidy. Hannah’s special friend. Next to Derek, her other special friend.
Fun fact: all chaps are assless. If they had an ass they’d be “leather pants”. 😀
Thank you for giving that answer for me.
You’re not gonna get busted for murder. Littering, at worst.
True.
Maliceous property damage. Bad parking. Tresspassing. Harboring a wild animal. Graffiti. And *then* littering.
They WOULD be in trouble … if any of the victims were still in one piece to press charges.
Oh, yeah, that’s right.
Assuming Satan will be cool about it.
So question re: AI.
When a robot turns evil, does little baby mecha-jesus cry? Or chuckle?
Mecha-Jesus opens his mouth and makes that awful, squawking dial-up noise from 90s modems.
Really great job on drawing that tiger, btw.
And done with no ref pics!
Seriously? Not even a box of Frosted Flakes sitting on your desk?
Nope. In the beginning, I was looking at ref pics to figure it out, but the character model kinda came into being and it got easier. So now I just wing it.
Phoebe: Ninja vanish!
Haddaway: You haven’t seen the end of me!
Others: Oh, yes, we have!
Well, the tail end, yes.
I like the inference that Haddaway gives a parting moonshot to the stupid android as he(?) ninja-scampers away.
It seems to me they can just say the robot went haywire and tried to attack them. It’s essentially true. Just in case anyone has ethical concerns, there’s no commandment prohibiting “lying.” It forbids “bearing false witness against your neighbor” a very specific kind of lie.
Yeah, but who called us? We have to find them.
Accurate. And morally valid.
And just like that … no ninjas can be seen!
It’s THAT effective!
