AND why have you not posted these on OUR forums yet?

chop chop.

Haven't had time to read them all yet, but these need their own sticky on our forums somewhere.

Also -I can give you the "crime fighter" font that I use. It looks like you are using comic sans (which is ugly or you should at least adjust the vertical spacing between each line of words -they are too close together and can be a little hard to read).

If I could grab that font off ya it would be awesome. The stuff I've been useing has been driveng me nuts. It has the ability to make small infants cry and yet for some reason i'm still useing it.

Double post, I cut off one of my own fingures to make up for it....

Because I'm going to be gone for 2-3weeks I decided to do a filler issue takeing place before the events in Tales From a PUG when Corran Rhys use to work for Senor Hawt. I have to warn you all now, this was entirely made today so it might seem a little crude. I wrote the script, beat up Rhys, took the screen shots, made the comic, and had Rhys say how much he hated it within the past 7 hours.

Also one last warning, the last panel...Rhys forced me to put that in, so blame him.

Last page should have just been two panels (but with the "oh god my eyes" bit).

Good funny especially in the short shoot time.

I was sure the last panel was going to have them realize they weren't standing by a turtle.

I can and will escape you and your vicious finger of poking-ness-ity.

Smokey was on vacation a little while back. He just got back. Now, he's supposed to be procrastinating a bit before actually getting back to work, but he's putting of procrastinating and putting the comic off because he's lazy.

He'll be working it sometime soon. By "soon" I mean later.


Yeah, I'll give him a poke.

Its been a long time Guild Wars Guru junkies but we're slowly getting back into the groove of things. A special 2-page message from me has been uploaded "here" for your viewing pleasure.

And incase you don't actually look at that (shame on you by the way) I'll sum up the news in that little comic right here. Tales From a PUG is going to be on hold until the end of november, but meanwhile I'm going to start a limited 3-panel strip to take its place. The first strip should be uploaded by the end of today or early afternoon tomorrow. Until then have fun my cattle...err... I mean loyal readers.

Hi everybody! Corran Rhys of Tales from a PUG here, Smokey Jack has finally gotten off his fat bum and made a brand spankin' new issue. Issue #4 is hot off the press, and is ready to be skimmed over and easily discarded!

Hopefully, we'll be back in the swing of things and have more issues up soon. Trying to get back all the cast members after they kinda split and forgot about us is taking a bit of time though.

So, everybody! Make a few comments on the comics, whether it's to laugh, complain, or just generally boo the comic. Here ya all go: http://talespug.smackjeeves.com/

Thanks! They'll come in handy. Usually I get a little lazy with the typesetting but hopefully I'll devise a contraption that lights my hair on fire when I forget to work on that stuff.

Woot it is good to be back in the comics again. Maybe in issue 5 we will actually leave Lions Arch.
Funny as usual Smokey. Looking forward to the next one.

Well, if you remember back into the past issues, Corran Rhys has to move towards Ascalon and Senor Hawt goes to Cantha. Since they're on their way now, I'll personally hurt Smokey if he keeps the characters in Lion's Arch much longer.

And Smokey doesn't need to invent something light his hair on fire, I'll do it for him, for free! I charge for matches and gasoline though, stupid gas prices.

(Free rumor, there may be a comic shoot this weekend... *GASP!*)

Just waiting for Rhys to finally jump on and edit the comic then I'll post it up before you get the chance to say "Smokey Jack ain't so handsome anymore". And who would want to say that anyways?

If Rhys doesn't pop on anytime soon I'll just post up the *shivers* unedited copy. But hopefully it wont come to that or the hospitals might have a massive surge of people with their brains bleeding out through their eye sockets. I guess Rhys does have a purpose...he saves peoples lives each time he edits my stuff....

Also thx to everyone for being patient with the comic, its been a busy couple of weeks.

Sorry for the double post, I think I'll contract the black plague from doing this.

Issue #5 is now up here. Now as a warning, even though it says edited by Mr. Crazy, this is the unedited copy. This means all literary types should not click that link. Heck shut your computer down right now just in case its vile grammar and spelling mistakes leak through and starts pouring out of your USB ports. I suggest also smashing all your phones and other communication devices before its corruption spreads through them.

Tomorrow me and Rhys (or should I say "Rhys and I") will be working on the edited version and hopefully it'll be up before I leave for the weekend.

Thats about all from me, thanks to all the cast and our new edition Furious Waffle.

That's about all from me, thanks to all the cast and our new addition Furious Waffle. I'm sorry, I couldn't help it. I'm getting my editing fix right now until I actually start editing Smokey's comic. OH GOD MY EYES THE GRAMMATICAR!

Anyway, I'll just change a few random letters on the comic and call it a day. The changes will be sent to Smokey tonight, and instead of packing and preparing to leave on his trip he'll be working on the comic. Ain't that swell!

(Yes, I am editing his comic, even though I'm more illiterate than he is. Good thing it's unpossible to fail English.)
