Over seven years in the making!

Welcome back, everyone, to Akano's Comics!

Hi, I am Akano. I was inspired by some comic authors such as Matreid and T-E to make my own comics. I hope you enjoy them. I'll take opinions, comments, and constructive criticism. No spamming, flaming, etc. I'd really like your opinion! Thanks to Razor, Rayg, Mout, RZ, ToM Dracone, and Swert for the sprites. Also, thanks to Matreid, T-E, Litoru, etc. who inspired me. And, thanks to KK for some of the ideas.

I am not accepting guest star PMs! I will choose guest stars myself if I see fit!

PLEASE NOTE! All sprites/comics/ideas are copyright their owners and using said content is not allowed without permission from their respective owners. Thank you.

RULES FOR GUEST STARRING:

• You have to post.
  If you haven't posted, that means that you don't think you can add to the discussion. If you can't do that, then how is it you want to guest star?
• You can't bother me to take you as a guest star.
  I will choose guest stars as I see fit. They will most likely be someone who has posted here for a while and someone I deem worthy for the comedic part of the comic. Bothering me makes me less likely to guest star you.
• It's first come, first serve, but after that, I won't accept more for a little while. There are currently 0 spots open. Also, to view PNG comics instead of BMP, click the ".png" link next to the comic name. Please notify me via PM if it doesn't load right. Enjoy!

[Justax-Kal]

You're back!
And I just saw that equation earlier today. Go nerd humor!

J-K out.

[Akuna Toa of Sonics]

Hooray they're up again!
I liked the end of the new comic. I just saw that equation in a topic on another forum earlier this week.

[Triggons]

I must commend the amount of comics you have. It's just insane, even considering you've only made one series. Good comics, too; they remind me of the good old days when the only comics you had were Dark709's, Lavaside Rahi's, and a few others.

[Tekulo the WindWriter]

Oh, hey, you finally got these up and running!

Of course, I still disagree with your layout and all, but whatever makes you happy.

And I didn't even bother with that equation. XD
"Hmm... Meh, it's probably some high level math humor."
The first panel just made me laugh, though.

Anyway, good to see things are up and running. I suppose we can expect a new comic in two months. ^^

[Calvirick]

Hooray they're up again!
I liked the end of the new comic. I just saw that equation in a topic on another forum earlier this week.

So it was literally legit?

Anyway, nice comics dude. I like 'em.

[Lord Kaitan de Storms]

Hooray! The comics are back!

It just occured to me that Kivi, although regularly mentioned, has not actually appeared in quite a long time...

Also, I'm going to let my math-wiz-doing-calc-at-15 friend explain that equation to me.

[Akano Toa of Electricity]

Time for the replyings!

Justax: Nice. I was amazed and happy with how awesome math is when I saw those equations for the first time.

Akuna: Wow, this must have become a rather popular math thing recently.

Oni: Dark709's comics started around the same time mine did, I think (you could probably check the BZP archives to verify that). I miss those days as well.

Tekulo: What about the layout do you not like? And, yes, it is higher level maths, but it isn't overly complicated. Just confusing.

Calvirick: Oh, yes. I explain the math behind it here. And thank you.

Kaitan: I also direct you to my above link if you want an explanation. Also, that is true about Kivi. I need to come up with some ideas for him...

New comic sometime in the future.

[ReckoningReckoner]

Glad these are back. I think after the retirement of LR, I think you are the only real "old" comic maker who is still here.

Anyway, the new comic was smart and funny as always. I love math jokes. I remember how my mind was blown when my teacher had told me that a triangle with two right angles was possible in spherical geometry.

[Tenebrae Invictus]

Wow, haven't posted in your comics (regardless of the new or old one) since 04 or 05. Geez, I forget.

Nice to see they're on the new forums, and the math will definitely assist in the big comeback... haha.

EDIT: Also, how's KK doing? I haven't spoken to him since 06 or so.

Edited by Tenebrae Invictus, Nov 15 2011 - 10:24 PM.

[Kahi]

Oh man, the ToM Kit 2. I haven't seen that used around here in a long time; shame, because its still a pretty good kit.

Anyhow, I've meant to post here for a very long time now. Your comics are great, and its awesome that you've kept them running for so long. I'm glad that there's at least still one active veteran in the new forums.

[Akano Toa of Electricity]

Wild new comic appeared!
Viewer used Read!
Akano used Reply!

iPenguin: Wow, that makes me feel old. Now, if only I could get comics out at regular intervals...

Tenebrae Invictus: This is going to sound weird, but KK said he has no idea who you are. XD Did you go by another name on the old forums that isn't listed in your Display Name History?

Kahinuva: I love the ToM Kit 2; it has a certain charm to it. Should I pride myself in being the last veteran, or feel like an endangered species?

[Soran]

Wow, these comics are still around? I remember reading these comics over and over again a lot in the past... Really blows my mind to think that you are still making these. Anyway, your latest comic, was actually funny, I liked it a lot, and that joke never gets old. And you also included ponies? Best comic in the world.

Funny joke + Graphics + Ponies = Epic win.

Awesome work,
~Soran

[ReckoningReckoner]

The only thing funnier than geology is the social sciences.

[Ultimate Sybre]

Sweet! You're back in the comic biz! What's the comic forum without you? Now we need Dark709...

And about the 3/25/12: geology. It claims so many lives...

[Malignus]

geology: studying rocks...

ROFL!

[Akano Toa of Electricity]

New comic up! Not a long one, but hopefully pretty funny.

Soran: Ponies make everything better! 8D

Peng Floyd: Indeed. My former roommate was a political science major, and I can tell you we all (including him) busted on that field.

Kreos: That's so kind! Thanks! And, yes, it has claimed the life of my brother. Kids, talk to your friends before they study geology.

Boss Tweed: In KK's case, yeah, pretty much.

Loved the new comic. Philosophy really can be convoluted and weird; it's a bit of a joke, really. Like Geology. :3

Edited by DJ N00bslayer, Jun 03 2012 - 03:47 AM.

[Rokroro]

I am a philosophical person, I debate philosophy on the net and stuff, but when my brother showed me his philosophy book...

Never open a philosophy book unprepared, years of training is required for you to get anything out of it. Seriously.

Edited by Rokroro, Jun 03 2012 - 03:56 AM.

[tent163phantoka]

Philosiphers can get away with making random stuff up. They're like serious comedians.

[The Venom]

Ah man, I really should be posting here more often.
Throughout my time on BZP, Akano, your comics have always been one of my favorites.

After what happened to BZP months ago, it's great to see another comic making "veteran" still active in the forum to this day. I'm really glad to see you've still been making comics, and I value the fact you've perfected your style over time.

Keep it up, Akano!

-V-

Edited by The Venom, Jul 02 2012 - 03:26 AM.

[Superkid11]

The sad thing is I actually did ponder that once when I was a teenager.

[Kahi]

Well, we know about trees. But if an Ent falls in forest and no one hears it...

[Akano Toa of Electricity]

New comic is up! And, wow, a lot of replies happened in the past two days! Time to reply!

tent163phantoka: "They're like serious comedians." I love it!

The Venom: Thank you very much. I don't know about perfected, but I certainly have come a long way.

SK11: XD Also, good to see you're still around.

Kahinuva: ...then Saruman had better watch out.

[Kahi]

Ah, physics. I'll actually have to take that at some point next year. It seems both extremely interesting and extremely confusing.

[The Venom]

This is why I'm going to continue to avoid taking Physics.

And when I said your style "perfected", I meant you've managed improve the style of your comics without really changing much.
I guess I do really mean "you've come a long way", but oh well. I'm bad at wording. =P

-V-

[Malignus]

It seems that physics would indeed be a challenging course. (at this point I would say "Challenge accepted," however I intend to study the field of Mechanical Engineering.

[ReckoningReckoner]

Ah quantum theory. How you manage to screw with the minds of physics majors everywhere.

[Akano Toa of Electricity]

New comic is up and ready for viewing!

Kahi: Yes and yes. I hope you enjoy taking it. It can be quite fun.

Venom: Don't avoid physics! Embrace it! It's so fun!

Malignus: Not an engineer! There is a lot of physics in engineering, since engineering is mainly physics applied to the things we build.

Summer: Yes indeed. Hopefully you use Griffiths' Intro to Quantum Mechanics, though. He is a great author for physics texts.

[Malignus]

comic: I already have no qualms about being lazy due to senioritis.

post: the physics involved wouldn't necessitate actual study of physics; the study of calculus would be preferred.

[Reznas]

Quite a genius idea, I must say. I'm going to start doing that, I already have the procrastination part down...But anyways, I really like the simplicity in your comics. You don't use really flashy, amazing-looking graphics, but you still get the point across. I like that. Not to mention the comics are just hysterical. I really enjoy the style! Keep making comics please!

P.S. I share your birthday.

-Rez

[Tenebrae Invictus]

Tenebrae Invictus: This is going to sound weird, but KK said he has no idea who you are. XD Did you go by another name on the old forums that isn't listed in your Display Name History?

Very late reply, but yes I did. It might may have not been him that I conversed with, but he's definitely a familiar face.

Anyways, funny comic, though isn't being productive the antithesis of procrastination?

[Akano Toa of Electricity]

New comic posted! Time to reply to you wonderful people.

wierdox: Power through it! Face senioritis head on and apply directly to the forehead! Wait, that's not right...

Reznas: Thank you very much! I try not to get too bogged down in the graphics because I started these in MSPaint, and although I use GIMP/Photoshop now, I prefer not to spend too much time on the aesthetics. The jokes are what everyone comes for anyways.

And cool! I shall have to remember to add you to the short but surprisingly existent list of people who aren't KK that share my birthday.

Tenebrae Invictus: Ah, I see. No worries. And that's the beauty of my method! 8D

Hope you all enjoy the new one!

[Tekulo the WindWriter]

Yeah... Something about that last comic just screamed "This actually happened." 

XD

[Tenuk]

But the question is, Fahrenheit or Celsius?

[KopakaKurahk]

When you said you had a new comic up and that I should see it, I didn't think it would be based on a conversation at my expense; however, if I had to pick conversations at my expense around which to base a comic, it'd be that one.
