ok, it’s still possible that i can hit my deadline. I didn’t do too bad yesterday - the artwork for pages 1-6 are done, i just need to draw pages 7 and 8 today. Some of these drawings are kinda complex, but hopefully they will flow pretty well. As usual, i don’t feel that the artwork is up to the standards i’d want to see for something like this, but really, it’s not too bad. Definitely as good as i’d do for the better MT strips.
The plan is pretty simple right now. Today i have to draw two pages worth of artwork. Tomorrow i have to scan everything (eight pages worth) and put the 8 page sequence together, fine tune the script, produce the final pages for upload. I want to be done monday night so that on tuesday i can turn back to Chapter 6 and get that rolling again on wednesday.
I know i’m gonna catch hell about the lack of Megatokyo comikage tomorrow. yeah, yeah, i know most MT readers are cool with it, but it wont stop the flood of nasty emails bitching up a storm about how unprofessional i am, etc etc. Y’know, it’s far more unprofessional to miss a deadline with your publisher, but many people are pretty unforgiving. It’s pretty simple. I had to sacrifice 3 MT comics to get the book done by my deadline. I was able to squeeze in some simple 4 koma strips, but i don’t have time to do anything for monday… in fact, i wasn’t even able to come up with a script for hawk to work on. Well, there isn’t much i can do about it, so i’m just gonna have to deal with it.
There will be something monday, just not by me. Hawk and i knocked a few ideas around, and in the end he started sketching something that he’s going to color up, and we’ll both be using it on on monday. It’s not a comic like we had planned, but that’s my fault.
Bleah. Well, this is long enough. I’ll stop whining now and go to work. I really can’t wait to finish this. I’m really tired, and i need a break, bad.

Screw the fans. Just worry about your book right now.
Seriously.
screw the fans….*snort*
well, maybe don’t screw them, but at least ignore the unhappy ones for the present.
and get the book done without killing yourself. that always helps.
Tell those “fans” to take a flying F#*k at a rolling doughnut.
The deadlines you get paid for are more important than the ones you make for yourself, normally.
Best of luck to you. Can’t wait for Book 3
The day they can pull off a job superior to Megatokyo is the day they have a right to grouse. It’s not as though their prodding can help you to meet your deadlines, enhance productivity, or entice you to draw for them at no charge. Ingrates.
You can’t please everyone. Remember your supportive, if silent, majority. Go for it.

P#!1
Just take your time and get it done right. You do fabulous work and anyone who rushes you doesn’t deserve to be called an MT fan. ^_^
Merry Christmas!
=^_^= kawaii!!
Pfft. “Fans”. Riiiiiight. I’m still grateful you’re keeping MT free online when you could definitely charge for it, since DH is publishing you. Those other people are just….dumb. And willing to criticize everyone but unwilling to do any work themselves.
Seriously, I’ll lend you “Betsy”…
Keep up the great work and don’t let the dumb people out there get you down.
Merry Xmas and Happy Yule
i won’t be too mad if you miss to many mt strips, as long as dom doesn’t get to that trackball of his. (*hides*)
i’m sure you’ll get everything done in time.
Haha… Icic, well at least I’m greatful for you having a site for us fans to look around and updating it constantly. I really like MegaTokyo, and I’m a new fan (Started a couple of days, I bought the manga becuase my friend said it was very intresting after he visted this site). Well I’m goin continue to support MegaTokyo by buying each volume of the Manga.
The MegaTokyo-Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles essay is complete if tha ever wish to see/read it.
Fans in the SD forum are happy no matter what you do, fans who write e-mail are mad no matter what you do. So what else is new?
This is a good lesson though, you really can get several pages of comic done in only a few days - just as long as you’re up against a deadline.
Those of us who have been reading you since “Does anyone speek l33t?” are used to worse.
No worries.
And I’m happy to see you working with Hawk some more. Hawk is an excellent human in many and varied ways.
See, Fred? We wubs you. No worries about the strip, k?
lets have no ‘pirogoethcrazy’… priority number one… seraphim then DH. Life is what happens when ya wanna do other things. Your work is well worth the wait and beside this will build character!

I say that the “good” as in “intelegent” MT fans should form a reaction group look up the “bad” MT piro haters and then … talk to them I.E. Junipe did for Erika… its so delightfully evil yet would be sooooo satifactory.
Now, now, we don’t want to scare the kids, do we? :p
So it has been said,
Wherever lies a signal,
There too exists noise.
Gah.
