Whoah, lots of posts to read. I appreciate all the feedback, it's great to know you all enjoy it.

Trust me, it's even funnier if you know the people in game. We're too close to the comic characters than we'd ever admit. I mean they are exaggerated, but there's a reality behind them...

Oh yeah, and before I forget, I finally finished Episode 19 - What's All This A Boat?

I'm a bit pushed for Uni work at the moment (bad time of year for getting tons of the stuff), so I don't know how regular the next few will be. With any luck I should be able to manage one per week still, but if I don't update at least you have some warning.

Relegated onto the second page and no posts for almost a week... am I really that unappreciated here? Almost makes me regret staying up late making a new one...

Love the comics, they're great.
Personally, I think that everytime a ranger kills a monk in PvP, they're going to start saying that. >_<

Griph wasn't -that- bad at PvP when we tried last week. However we did not end up against rangers.

Just a post to try and keep you updated. Basically there's no comic this week because I'm swamped with university work until Monday as I hinted at before. Not only that but plans as they are, I head back home that same day. Back home the internet connection is awful, so there won't be any over that period. What this does mean is that there's a good chance that Comic 20 will be the last one you get until after Easter.

I will make all efforts to find time to make the 21st one, but finding a free 2-5 hours when I also have 10,000 more words of multiple essays clawing at my conscience is going to be difficult. But I'll try.

Hmm, wonder if Gryph used the pickup lines himself. I haven't seen him on for a while now, maybe he's actually doing his school stuff.

You are sure you tried them on a woman right, and not a rock or something?

Even if they don't kill you, they're almost guaranteed not to work.

"We really should stop them before they take down someone important."

Haha...stupid warrioress...they already did take down your monk. Prepare to be ganked!

You know, monks really are underappreciated in the community. I wonder what happens when they get ganked...either an exile to Cantha or the old "account banning" by the man in the modern suit.

I'm glad you and everyone like them, and I should just apologise and give my reasons for no updates to it. The reason for no update this week was that I had an exam on Thrursday, and the reason for me *probably* not updating this coming week is another next Thursday. /cry

I'll get back into the swing of things soon, honest.

Oh and on the Mhenlo issue, what am I to do now? Factions makes him look smart. Since when was Mhenlo ever smart? Darn it Arenanet... I liked the daft Mhenlo. Oh well, at least they didn't make Rurik cool. Now that would have been terrible for their world.

He used to sound stupid in Tyria, but now that he returned to Cantha and his Sensei is around, he's faking being smart. It's already bad enough that Mhenlo was his last Tyrian student, so if on top of it that last student was a dumbass... shame. So he's dumber than the comic version of Griphyne, dumb, but useful cause he's smart at casting spells (well the matter of where he stands to cast them is another matter...)

Your comic is great, so keep up the good work and I'm patient. Besides I got my own stuff to do. You see I had the same "ArenaNet suddenly gave him personality" issue when I wrote a story with Claude in it, I made him be a complete Dwayna hater in Pre-Searing but now the Henchie says he used to be a servant of Dwayna... daoh x_x

So in short, just keep Mhenlo stupid, he might say smart stuff, but for most players he's still being a dumbass.

I have some slight ideas for what I could do with Mhenlo given Factions, but I've plenty of time to sort that out. I plan to keep him stupid though, all my experiences of him just seem to make him that way in my head and it's too late to change them.

I managed to find an hour or two to piece this together, which given my current schedule is tough, but what the hey...

You guys sure do know how to make a fella feel wanted. Ten days since the last one and I get only one stinking post here...

(I point out that the one post is a damn good post. Better than not posting comments at all by a longshot.) So yeah, a little late maybe but it seems like nobody was waiting anxiously anyhow. However, if you were waiting and are just quiet (as some of us are), here's the latest:
