And I miss some aspects, while I detest others. Wouldn't it be great to just have a silly series again? One that isn't all plot, or silence, or in a different language, or with unoriginal characters, or a choose-your-own-adventure series.Let me tell you this.I made this.Again.A spiritual sequel to one of my former series, IIMT revolves around the antics of one matoran named Tapika, trying to become a comic maker in a strange society on the island of Taone Nui. This series is part of the ICC, and follows on from the events of Private Eye Tapika.-----------------------------------Archivial TopicCompendium One - IntroductionCompendium Two - VillainDarcsyde's BirthdayGavla's BirthdayNot all comics are available via the front page as of yet!

4imt031.png Here's some new content. Thanks Gav! I bake these cakes with love. Except they're not cakes. Because if they were cakes, they would be lies. Nope, CHTrilogy- Homestuck was merely an inspiration for some of these comics.

You portray Gerliky's character so well. And like I told Kahi, good vocab makes a good comic. I love it! And Gerk is definitely talking to me. :P

Hah, thanks you guys! Didn't think this topic would pick up steam this quickly. Although I am sadly announcing that there will only be one comic a week from now. I can't put 2 comics up a week, or I'll keep on exhausting my supply and having to keep on going on hiatus! And if I go on hiatus now, I may never kickstart again... Also, funfact: I deliberately trawled through Google Images to get that laptop in the comic because it was the laptop I had. However, I just realised that that comic was no longer topical - I have an entirely different laptop now! :P

The Gurk comic was hilarious. I don't know him very well but it seemed quite appropriate. :D Once a week is fine by me, since you've got quite the high level of graphic quality going into these. :pirate:

Advertisment is key to keeping the buisness going round. That said - Can you mirror my tactic, please? With delicious in-canon advertisment please? :P Also yeah it is kind of strange how he uses Bishade when he invented Hexashade. He always says it's a hassle though. I guess.

It's like if Thomas Edison used whale oil lamps instead of the lightbulb. I lol'd at the first comic. Especially the whiteboard with the perks of ICC-ness. And I agree with Shad about the mystery kit.

You guys are aware that more shades doesn't automatically make a kit better, right? Chimoru is a very flawed kit no matter what; having six shades just makes it shinier and harder to recolor. Gurky was clearly going for a simplistic visual style with Spoofquest, so I really don't see what's so strange about him using bishade. :mellow:

4imt034.pngSeems my post that was dripping with compliments was deleted. Shame. Since I didn't back it up all I can say is that I agree with Lime Paradox. That said, I have my assumptions, but in the greater intrests of this community I shall not reveal them.Anyways, this comic has gained an extra level of hilarity for me since its topicality has been brought into question. I made this comic in April, when Portal 2 was released. April. It's now November, and only a few days away from Sonic Generation's UK release. I suppose I could have edited it to show that, but that could have been a bit of a cop out, seeing as the game isn't out yet here.Plus it goes against my mantra, and that mantra is to always fix issues with a comic in a way that requires the least amount of effort.

The thing that comes to mind when reading these is my previous Wun Shaed Chimroru story arc.I doubt that's the kit, though. :P

I loved Gerlicky's reaction, "Why didn't I think of that?"Also, OMG! THE SUSPENSE!-- :ruru: Edited by Piraka~Mistika

Hey, it's not like we're getting paid to do this, right? Especially since you signed away all merchandising rights a few comics back... :PAh, I missed these. Great to see them back!

If you want to see what became of me... I became a brony fan fiction writer.

I actually intended Gerlicky as taking the gun off the very terrible person, but honestly your interpretation makes much more sense.Banned members are not to be discussed. -B6

Weird. I could've sworn he was a very TREACHEROUS person. :shrugs:Also lol totally anticlimactic how we just didn't find out the kit. Edited by Black Six

Outdated sig is outdated.
