I'd just like to apologise for the lack of comic updates. With lots of university issues to resolve, these last two weeks have left little time for the 30th one. I have started the first few frames, but it's probably going to be a little while before I can get to finishing it. With any luck I might find enough time this weekend, so unless anything comes up, Monday is a distinct possibility. Sorry guys for the delay.

Sorry it's taking me a while to get around to the next one. I expected the masters at uni to be a little more difficult than the undergrad stuff, but as it is I struggle to find the time to do the comic and actually play the game. Since I don't imagine nightfall is going to help the comic process, I thought I'd just give out advanced warning it's going to be a bit slow going for a while.

I haven't even started the next one, that's how bad it's got. Again, I hope to get some done at the weekend... Note the "hope"

I be getting ter that Togo, but he be a factions character, and they be so hard to intergrate into this here tall tale. And though thar be a lot of shooting, it not be the shootin' of parrots. Dem's be conflictin' with da animal safety acts, and I never has me the heart to harm animals without dere being treasure at the end of its. Be expectin' the pirates back though, they be long overdue for a fair bit of action, I warrant...

Thank god for titles that you can get just standing in one place all day. Makes the whole process so much easier to do the comic.

Maybe that mesmer should do what Miette did to Fairbuckle in Labsenpai's latest "Ranger Brained" segment.

No comic this week. Progressing through nightfall and preparing an important presentation for Uni, so I'm purposely giving myself time for those. I've at least started the next comic, so expect that sometime next weekend.

Aw, darn it all. I've been bugging Gonzo for at least a week, asking if he had been rammed by a boat yet, and look what you went and did! You injured an innocent Xunlai Agent.

All in all though, yet another awesome addition to the series. Keep 'em coming!

Nightfall interrupted this more than I thought it would. Serves me right for trying to explore the whole of Elona. 97.4% and counting for any who care/wonder. It's coming up to a year of me making these soon. Who would have thunk it?

The mesmer goes "arrrrr". I'm confused....

*stalks for next comic*
So, when will the main GWG Activities page put up the rest? The most recent one is still #24 - prince in sails...

I really don't know. I reminded Inde about the comic updating in pms a while back, but that was before nightfall was released. I might try again, but I don't want to harass him. He'll put them up in his own time I'm sure.

Sorry I've delayed these at the moment. I've been getting a lot of uni work to get through and not enough time to do it. This may well be the last one this side of christmas, usual drill with my holiday hiatuses.

If I don't post before leaving, merry christmas, and enjoy the winter celebrations for me.

Makes me wonder if the final episode of that one will involve the "Perma-ban" skill used by Anet on those poor 8-bit pixelated charries.

Final episode? Probably good to know I haven't got one of them planned anytime soon.

Originally I planned on several story arcs for the comic, but I failed to figure in how slowly I'd do them. I suppose maybe once I finish this first planned arc (which I just about have planned with the exception of the very end) I might call an end to it all. If that is the case, I'd be guessing no Perma-ban.

Still, long way off yet... at current pace that'll be at least comic 60ish

You may have to wait a while, I'm strapped for time at the moment with this term's work being almost overkill just two weeks in. There'll be a lot less regularity to when I release them from this point until easter, since I can't say when I'll find free time worthy of thinking the thing up and actually doing it. From this point on, it comes as it comes.

However you (you know who you are) who have waited over a month for the next episode are probably sick of waiting, so I'll see if I can piece one together by the end of this month... no promises though

Long overdue and with imageshack instead of the usual provider. Still, it should give a little fix for those who have been waiting, but haven't had the courtesy to post.

It should be Drinjino with the 'R'. I know there was a spelling mistake back in one of the older ones, but I thought I had corrected it. Oh well, nevermind.

Also, my thanks to Inde for updating the comic on the main GWguru homepage.

I don't have the next comic yet for two reasons.
1) I just gave you one
2) Because I'm in the process of swapping all my AaO files from Picture Publisher to Photoshop. Not sure which I'll end up using on a perminent basis, but I might as well try to use the more modern program for the comic.

Ignore the post above. I do have a comic for ya.

Before you get too excited this one's pretty much filler. Still, two in one week ain't bad, especially seeing how much other stuff I have to be getting on with.

Comic 35 - The Cold Shoulder

I'd be interested to see whether people are happy with the style as it seems to have settled with. I was never happy with the original text boxes, and the speech bubbles in publisher never looked that great. However, people have their own opinions on these things, so let me know.
