So, I'm back. If you're only here for the comics, you can skip this paragraph, as I'll just fill it with random gibberish. When BZP went down, I left, for what would've been forever. I messed around on a bunch of other forms and stuff for a while. Once a week, I would stop by BZPower to see if it was back, but it never was. After that, I left for months, but then I stopped back one last time. I was shocked to see how the forums continued to flourish, and when I saw some of my old friends' comics, it inspired me to come back and make some more comics. I have learned from my past mistakes, and I believe that after most of Month 0 the best you've seen from me. So now, what you came for: the comics.

Glad to see you're back! Can't wait to see what you've got up your sleeve.
I think the links are broken though.

J-K out.

[Argaraffe]

My apologies, unfortunately I have to go now so I can't fix them but you could use this http://www.majhost.c...h0/daily001.png Just replace the 001 on the end with the numbers 001 through 031. Thanks!

Edit: Added 'latest comic' to the front page. The daily for today will be uploaded later tonight, don't worry!

[Axilus Prime]

The latest comic was funny. I actually laughed in front of my computer at the second panel.

[Argaraffe]

Okay, I think I fixed all of the links. Plus, here's a new comic as promised.

April 1, 2012

[Justax-Kal]

He can't sue us for putting him out of business. It's a free market, so we can sell good product without getting attacked. No one company can have a monopoly on the Donaugh industry.
I love your little Peanauts-esque brick wall of contemplation. So far your studio has a nice feel to it as well. Unique, yet homey.

J-K out.

[Argaraffe]

Thanks, about the wall of contemplation, I actually got the idea from Pearls Before Swine, however, looking back, I remember it being in the Peanuts too. Also, here is today's comic.

April 2, 2012.

[Darcsyde]

Good to see you back, Argy m'boy.

And in shining glory to boot!

Good two first dailies, making clouds is a fast way to get money, I guess.

[Axilus Prime]

April 1 wasn't that funny. Its best point was panel 2.

April 2, however...THE ENTIRE THING WAS FUNNY. Especially the ending.

[Argaraffe]

April 3, 2012

This one is pretty bad, I was about to redo it but I didn't have time due to tennis matches and homework overload.

[Soran]

I still like the comics, It made me laugh. I like the hat especially. Nos dirigira una revolucion hostiles contra la republica. nice job on the comic, although I think you should expand the speech bubbles a bit in size so that the letters aren't so scrunched up to the sides.

~Soran

[Argaraffe]

Thanks, what usually happens is that I make the text and then the speech bubbles on top, but since they're ovals they're usually too big so I add in random text so they look more full. Not the best alternative, but it works okay I guess.

[Knave]

Huh. This looks awfully familiar. *wink wink nudge nudge*

It seems that our favorite author with an unpronounceable name is back for more shenanigans, sombreros, and the lack of difference between the Spanish and Mexican languages. Congratulations on not dying silently under-water.

[Axilus Prime]

Lol. Mexico. VIVA LA BOHROK-KAL!

I liked the utter humiliation of Suletu Guy (Unfortunately, I don't know the names) in the last panel.

[WVUFan!]

So far these are pretty good. I do agree that some the first one's aren't that great humor wise, but I did laugh at a few. The bowling pins one and the Think Outside the Bachs one were awesome. The WVUFan Man arc was awesome, but of course I would think that. But you deserve something awesome for including Clemson Fan and the Orange Bowl reference. For that you win a coupon for one free internet.

My only complaint is that I think that some of the Chimoru Kal masks, especially mine, look really ugly. But that's just my opinion. Everything else graphically looks pretty good.

TL;DR: Glad to see you're back, everything looks good.

Lets Go Mountaineers!

[Argaraffe]

@ Knave: Long time no see! If you'd like a PGS spot I'd be happy to ablige.
@ WVU Fan: Thanks, I do agree that a bunch of the Chimoru Kal masks look kind of bad. I'll probably use the old masks for certain characters eventually.
@ TNG: That's actually a custom mask that I created a long time ago. As for the character, that's Some Random Guy of No Significance That I Found on the Side of the Road, or SRGONSTIFOTSOTR for short, a name used casually when he was introduced. He's basically a road hobo. I should probably think up a name for him, but I could leave that to the viewers if you'd like.

[Axilus Prime]

Why not Phil? (In the words of Kodrak)

[Justax-Kal]

The block of semi-Spanish Mexican was great.
I'm realizing that you're trying to hid F=MA everywhere. Why that?

J-K out.

[Axilus Prime]

This guy failed. I did love this comic, though. Red Mobster/Red Lobster was by far the funniest scene.

Justax-Kal asking if he can put his hands down after a gun is pointed at him and then removed? Didn't that also happen in LTSL? LOL, INTERDIMENSIONAL RUNNING JOKES.

[Argaraffe]

@ JK: Well, on my very first big wall of text I was typing really random stuff so I decided to integrate something I learned from science class. Ever since then, for some strange reason, I have made it a point to put that in every comic I possibly can. No idea why though.
@ TNG: I swear that's a coincidence, I must not have read that particular comic.

[Argaraffe]

April 5, 2012

I tried so hard to find some My Little Pony band-aids with Princess Celestia or something but I couldn't, so I had to use regular ones. Also, I'm considering submitting these to the BZP comics library, so if you guys could make some recommendations as to which would be the best sample comic, that would be great. Thanks.

Edited by Argaraffe, Apr 05 2012 - 02:00 PM.

[Soran]

Haha, I like the comic. Gravity hurts. You probably should've used Hello-Kitty Band-aids since you couldn't find MLP ones.

As for the comic library, honestly I like this one best.

~Soran

[Justax-Kal]

Trippy bus fall. Clearly, that is not the Magic School Bus. Close, but not.
On the upside, you guys somehow survived.

J-K out.

[Knave]

Red Mobster / Red Lobster is probably the funniest pun I've heard in a while, honestly,

Physics is always fun. Except for when you are the subject of study. Great work on both of them.


@PGSing, I'll have to consider. If you want to discuss it further, feel free to PM me at any time.

[Darcsyde]

Ah! Gravity!

Mankind's natural enemy.

April 6, 2012

This would have to be my least favorite for the week, but its still okay I guess. Announcement: in a few weeks or a month or so I will do a fanmail arc. So if all my viewers could pm me one that would be great; I need at least 7 to carry throughout the entire week.

[Axilus Prime]

What the..Argaraffe throwing Argaraffe?

[Argaraffe]

That's Lawyergaraffe throwing Argaraffe. He was introduced in month 0.

[Soran]

Haha, gotta love selling people to slavery. I think the green guy (Whose name escapes me...) and Lawyer Argaraffe are my favorite characters. nice job on the comic as usual.

~Soran

[Justax-Kal]

That's a surprising punch line. I was not expecting a pun there, so it took me a solid second to realize it was one.
Have to say though, I don't think any of us would make good slaves. We're just a bunch of bums who mess around on computers. Labor: Yeah right.

J-K out.

[Argaraffe]

April 7,2012

Yeah, this comic is pretty weak, but to compensate, I finished the poster! I decided that Argaraffe, Lawyergaraffe, SRGONSTIFOTSOTR, WVU Fan, Justax Kal, Darc, and Shadonix will be main characters, with the rest of the NGC with supporting roles. What do you think?

[Axilus Prime]

It may not be the best, but I liked it. The awkward moment in the middle made that last panel a good punchline.

[WVUFan!]

I'm a main character?

YYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH

Also I actually liked the newest comic. The punchline was very fitting.

The poster is also pretty awesome. But I'm still trying to figure out why DK is just randomly in the background....

Edited by WVUFan!, Apr 07 2012 - 09:00 AM.

[Argaraffe]

Yeah, that was sort of an accident, but in the studio hall background there is a poster of Donkey Kong Country Returns and Super Mario Galaxy. It is kind of weird that only DK's head was visible, though.

[Darcsyde]

Isn't it more dangerous to be a comic character?

[Argaraffe]

@Darc: Yes, yes it is.

So, tomorrow is Easter. I'll see if I can whip up an Easter comic, but holidays aren't my specialties.

[Argaraffe]

Easter, 2012

Happy Easter! I had a MLP arc planned next week, but all those comics were lost. Because they were really time consuming to make, and I don't have the time right now, I'll have to come up with something else for the time being, sorry.

[Soran]

Haha, I like how you hid it in space, and also Justax's hat. Chef hat... Like a boss. Nice job on the comic as usual,

~Soran

(Also, I suggest you have what I like to call, 'comic days/week' which are just days dedicated to making comics. Helps especially when you're doing dailies and you don't have time to work on a comic, or the arc you wish to do is time consuming.)

[Argaraffe]

Yes, I usually try to do that, but currently, I am being overloaded with homework, tennis matches, and trombone recitals, so I make comics during every spare moment I can get (which isn't a lot). I think you'll like next week, however.
