#76 - The Plan


This comic is payback for the whole "this comic is too vague! this comic is too obvious!" situation. I hope this pun made you cry. (not really, you guys are alright).

This comic is super late and probably super badly coloured because just before I started inking, Flash decided to stop working for me, so I had to move my stuff over to photoshop. :(

    I had to read it 5 times to get the pun, and my god, facepalm ensued.

    Another good one.

    But neat pun, kind of nicely subtle.

    Wow, I read that at least 10 times before I got it. Then I groaned. Your mission was a great success.

    I just found this blog today, and I have to say...

    It is awesome. It took me a while to get it, but it is very "groan-worthy."

    And just because I like to impress people with meaningless stories, someone once told me that they were "The ruler of the universe." and I replied: "Are you sure you can measure up to the expectations?"

    ...anyway, I'm checking out more of these! >:D

    Mr. Octopuns: here's an idea. Do one and plan the other work on it each day so it is ready by the deadlines that YOU set. Save yourself from a ravenous, pun hungry monster that will devour you next time your puns are late. I love octopuns!!!

    ReplyDelete
  37. OctopunsAugust 17, 2011 at 11:56 PM

    That's an excellent idea in theory, but does not work for me in practice.

    The problem is that I've spent the last nineteen years doing things right before the deadline and as hard as I may try, that'll never change. I've also noticed that I do my best work if I'm rushing to get something done. The comics with the most positive feedback are comics I came up with and created at the last minute. Starting things early scares me.

    I have two choices. I either set no deadlines and never have an incentive to update, or set deadlines and miss them sometimes.

    Though, with that in mind, I will make a conscious effort to update on time (and perhaps one day have a buffer) because I know it must be pretty annoying to my few fans. So, thanks guys. Please bear with me. :(

    (Also, right. I forgot to update the comic with the notice that Octopuns is having a break for a short while, so, that is why it is Wednesday and you still have no comic).

    I didn't get that one the first time around. I thought he left some bees for the gaurd then made a b-line back to his friends so they could sneak inside. But I guess my mind works in it's own groan inducing ways

    ok so i got this after a second, but before then i was already lolling pretty hard at the guy saying "you're off the team" and then the guard picking up a trail of bees like he's james woods.
