We're working on getting it together, but the artist flaking out at the last minute has caused a bit of a schedule disruption...

Why are you digging up posts from ages ago and adding randomness to them?!  ???

This is actually a germane question Sane Scientist.  If Laguna hadn't dug it up, I'd have gone looking for a thread with a similar title.

I think the question has merit.  The 4th is a U.S. holiday.  Will the fact that it falls on the normal publication weekday interrupt the publication cycle (either for the periodic comics or for SJI's weekly entries)?  Is something special planned for the 4th?  Either of these inquiries are valid, and this thread would seem to be the appropriate place to pose them.

Don't know about the regular publication cycle but this week's SJI page will be lettered today so I'm pretty certain it will be updated as per usual...

I'm not in the US so no holiday for me :)

Knock, knock, knock. ;)  We're about 8 hours from the normal Wednesday post time.  I'm beginning to be mildly concerned.

We are running a bit behind schedule this week, due to illness on the part of your Intrepid Editor. More data as it becomes available!


Title: Re: when will the new comic be up?

I was Intrepid once.  The doctor gave me some penicillin for it.  Cleared it right up.

Post by: dzeiger on July 25, 2012, 04:45:23 pm
Wasn't the Intrepid the Vulcan starship that got eaten by a space ameoba or something in the original Star Trek series? That would cause a problem with the schedule.

Daphne,
After your credit card "hiatus" you have done a great job of getting everything back up to speed and then some.  You deserve to take some time off to feel better.  So...take some time off and feel better, as well as get better and *be* better.  Good health to you.

Errm, I feel guilty about this what with all the great SJI content we had last week, but...well there was no comic on Sunday :-[


Title: Re: when will the new comic be up?

We're running a bit late here at MCC Central, but we should be back on track by Wednesday.


Title: Re: when will the new comic be up?
Post by: jmundt29 on November 06, 2012, 10:21:34 pm
This appears to be the first week since the SJI special (and only the second in over a year and a half) with no Wednesday update.  Is this because Bigger #4 got bumped up, or does the calendar not reflect the current state of the various projects?


Title: Re: when will the new comic be up?
Post by: Daphne on November 07, 2012, 01:54:22 am
It's up now!


Title: Re: when will the new comic be up?
Post by: jmundt29 on November 13, 2012, 06:32:45 pm
Indeed, it was posted.

Knock, knock, knock.  Me again.  It seems that there's a fundamental disconnect between the calendar and the plan.  I know you have a plan, and you're executing it spectacularly.  However, for the past two weeks, information on the Wednesday publication has been unavailable until the day, and there hasn't been a posting in a preview section to stand in for the calendar.  This is a little disconcerting, because we have no idea where we are or what to expect next.  For instance, I got too comfortable with the idea of either a guest page or a supplementary SJI page just appearing on Saturdays and was mildly disappointed when you returned to the stated schedule last week.  However, with the calendar lagging behind the rest of the operation, mild confusions will continue to happen as a matter of course.

You've stated elsewhere that you have a plan thru the end of this calendar year (but it's obviously subject to change--Bigger #4 was bumped up a week).  I think that the new strategy was to avoid panicked e-mails from subscribers like me if you laid out a plan and had to deviate from it, but speaking from experience, seeing a plan laid out that's subject to change is beter than being blindfolded.  As you know, I'm a very happy customer and don't anticipate that changing.  This is just some food for thought as we move forward toward the New Year.

Post by: Daphne on November 14, 2012, 07:05:21 am
Really, the underlying policy hasn't changed: We put an issue up on the calendar when it's ready to go up, which might be very shortly before the publication time, or quite a bit in advance. The next issue should be up at some point today or tomorrow; our letterer is a bit slammed right now. Patience and understanding, as always, is appreciated. :)


Title: Re: when will the new comic be up?
Post by: laguna85 on November 14, 2012, 10:38:47 am
Daphne you will post when ready
Can you give a hind?  ???
if not that ok
Just I have to wait.

Daphne post in (What's happening with the comics - so many unfinished?)

Now, now, everyone play nice.

The rules are:

1. Once we know for sure when a comic will come out, it's on the calendar.
2. If a comic has not been explicitly ended, either because it was a one-shot or we've announce its retirement, it's still on-going.
3. There is no rule 3.

(Laguna85) When comic ready it will get posting, In the  pass some of the comic day have been miss.
I'm just a reader here.

There's a guest page cued up for Saturday, but we're about 2 and a half hours away from what would be post time and no additions to existing comics or new "Preview" threads.  Is this going to be a quiet holiday Wednesday?

I'm hoping that the fact HMB answered this question (or, rather, re-posted Daphne's answer from last week) means we might be getting Con'Fused 3.  That would be awesome.

The preceding was pure speculation on my part.

Very early yet, but I think several of us out here would like to hear about that.


Title: Re: when will the new comic be up?
Post by: Garg22 on December 12, 2012, 11:23:45 am
The story is as it always is, Daphne and the artists work hard to give us the content we enjoy on time, but that doesn't always work out.  What will happen is that down the road we will get more than one comic a week until things are balanced.

We all know that eventually we'll get some great mind control comics, so in the spirit of Christmas lets cut the MCC crew some slack if they don't meet their deadlines perfectly this month.

When the date on the front page comes and goes and is replaced with a "watch this space", an info post here or in the relevant comic's thread would be really appreciated. Preferably with some kind of estimate of when the update can be expected.
I reupped my subscription the 11th of last month, and now it looks like that month will have passed with only two updates posted. Seems a bit light, I have to say, especially since the rates have effectively gone up (for overseas subscribers, at least, given the costs of the movie clips). I understand that it's supposed to even out over time, and that I might have been unfortunate in picking my renewal date, but the lack of information about updates makes the situation a bit more irritating than it needs to be.

Post by: Garg22 on February 18, 2013, 08:54:30 pm
Well that is very nice to hear  ;D  I'm sure that the joys of changing the EMCA over to your server helped to contribute to the problems I'm very happy to see that the problems are now coming to an end.

Personally I'm hoping for art from another artist than Sturkwurk.  No offence to the artist, who does amazing work, but one of the things I've always enjoyed about MCC is the different styles the different artists bring, and we've only had one issue that wasn't done by Sturkwurk sense December.


Title: Re: when will the new comic be up?
Post by: jmundt29 on February 18, 2013, 10:56:48 pm
Well, that bugs me a little bit.  Yes, we like variety, but Sturkwurk has been not only excellent, but a workhorse during the various transitions this and its sister site have undergone.

I agree, and meant no disrespect to Sturkwurk, simply expressing a hope I had, that will not be fulfilled.  It seems like if Sturkwurk wasn't around we wouldn't have anything sense the world was supposed to end  :P

Are things still on track to be caught up (or nearly caught up) by the end of April?  Sure, I just renewed for a year rather than a month so it takes what it takes, but I would like to see more than SJI.

Semi-tangent: renewing via Dwolla ended up involving A) changing banks; B) hassles on Dwolla's end; C) having to wait about 2 weeks for the money to go through (though Daphne did renew the membership quite quickly once I could send); and somehow D) dropping, but still not yet passing, a kidney stone.  This chain shows why I am slightly more keen than I might otherwise be to see comics sooner rather than later.

Since it's summer, we're going into reruns. We're negotiating with United Press Syndicate for rights to run strips from "Cathy" from 1987.

You're showing your age, Daphne! ;)

I was too young to appreciate the strip back than, and these days I've found the strip to be less than funny. Mostly, because, it just doesn't speak to my personal or work issues.

I'm guessing its a rendering issue. That usually takes a while during the best of times. This seems like more than a simple oops. It's entirely possible the person responsible for rendering had a technical....malfunction.

No, Sturkwurk was his usual ultra-reliable self and delivered the artwork on time. This one's on me.

I'd suspected that.  The Sturkwurk comics are usually more of the 'illustrated story' form.  My guess is that the script delivered to the artist consists mostly of image descriptions, and the full text is written in parallel to or after the rendering.  Am I right?

Y'know that question we sometimes ask?  Looks like I'm the one asking it this time.  Free Cable is an excellent comic, and I'm sure the new installment will be both entertaining and beautiful.

Try this. It's something I was working on for another site before I lost interest in working with them.

Remote Confusion
by William Pratt
Chapter 1
Cover:
Madison looks haughty. She sneers and rolls her eyes. Her breasts look about to tear their way out of her blouse and diamond viewing holes have been pulled open between the buttons.
MADISON
Rick’s girls? Ghod!  If women were supposed to have boobs that big they would come stock with silicone.
Characters:
Neil
Decent looking guy with medium-length brown hair. About 5'11" Reasonably fit, but trending towards skinny. Probably would have no problems meeting women with more care and attention. Slim, rectangular wire-framed glasses. Bit of an acne problem.
Madison
Elegant-looking daughter of much money. Well dressed, well coifed. Blonde, shoulder length hair that is immaculately styled. Icy blue eyes. Has a soft, slender build that says she’s probably never worked a day in her life and gets by on lucky genetics that probably won’t last past 30. A leggy 5'8" and barely a B-cup. Around here that would probably be a doom her to irrelevance, but among normal folk, she’s a knock-out.

Page 1
Characters: Neil 
Panel 1
Rick’s room. The room is a bit of a mess. Not a disaster, but the room of someone with better things to do than put away clothes. The clean ones are piled on the end of his bed. The dirty strewn around the floor. Fortunately Rick doesn’t have that many clothes. Books are also spread about. Oddly enough his desk is clean. On the desk is a stack of books on quantum mechanics and string theory. Looks like Rick has been up to some heavy research. Beside the books is the remote.
Rick’s not there.
NEIL
Rick? Hey, Rick?
Panel 2
Neil steps into the room. He looks around. Neil is dressed in a Dream Theatre concert t-shirt and a pair of jeans. His socks are both white but don’t quite match.
NEIL
You seen the remote?
NEIL
Rick?
Panel 3
Neil pushes at a pair of jeans on the floor with his toe.
NEIL
Probably off boffing one of those big-boobed bimbos of his.
NEIL
Lucky bastard.
Panel 4
Neil looks at the stack of books.
NEIL
Quantum Physics and Relativity? The principles of Quantum Mechanics?
NEIL
What the hell are you reading?
Panel 5
Neil spots the remote control
NEIL
Well son of a bitch.
NEIL
He did have it.


Page 2
Characters: Neil 
Panel 1
Main room at the dorm. The TV is a decent size, about a 40 inch LCD. It sits on a wooden stand built for the mass of much older and larger TVs. Two couches, one a three seater and the other a two, form a wing with a gap in the middle. Behind the couches is a table and rudimentary cooking area with fridge, oven and stove.
Neil sits on three seat couch in front of the TV. He has a puzzled expression on his face. He is looking at the remote.
NEIL
No, this is definitely not for the TV.
NEIL
A spiral. A horn. What the hell is this button for?
NEIL
Looks like a cross between a dick and an arrow.
Panel 2
Neil points the remote at the TV and presses a button. The TV shows a long shot down onto two American football teams lined up and ready for the snap.
NEIL (THOUGHT)
Well, this one is either volume up or next channel.
Panel 3
Neil sits stiffly erect. The TV is twice the size. On the TV, the quarterback protects the ball and looks downfield for a receiver.
NEIL
What the hell?
ANNOUNCER
And Tracy is scanning downfield
Panel 4
The TV is now enormous, taking up most of the wall. A receiver runs and looks back over his shoulder with his hand up to make a catch. A defender is almost on him. If he makes the catch he won’t be going far.
NEIL
Rick, DUDE! What have you been working on?
ANNOUNCER
He lets go and it’s deep. This could be the play they’ve been waiting for all season!


Page 3
Characters: Neil, Madison 
Panel 1
Receiver is about to get flattened by the defender. There is a red dot on the side of the defender.
ANNOUNCER
Anderson has it! And Darrow has him!
Panel 2
Defender collapses to the ground clutching at his groin, his now-enormous balls crushed by his cup. His penis is about a foot long and plainly visible down the inside of his leggings. Receiver races for the end zone.
ANNOUNCER
I have no idea what just happened.
ANNOUNCER
It looks like Darrow just pulled his groin.
Panel 3
Neil sits staring at the TV, stunned. Madison stands behind him staring at the TV, but her stare is more of the “Where the hell did that come from” variety. Madison is dressed in a white blouse; a skirt that’s a little on the short side, but not slutty; a pair of running shoes
MADISON
Neil! Oh my god! The TV!
Panel 4
Neil Twists in his seat to looks over his shoulder back at Madison.
NEIL
You know those girls of Rick’s?
Panel 5
Madison rolls her eyes.
MADISON
Do I?


Page 4
Characters: Neil, Madison 
Panel 1
Madison sighs. How could Neil be so stupid as to think those girls could be all natural? If Madison could roll her eyes any further they would come up on the bottom. Neil has turned and is sitting sideways on the sofa. He looks dead serious.
NEIL
I don’t think they always looked like that.
MADISON
No duh.  You think maybe implants had something to do with it?
Panel 2
Neil looks down at the remote. Madison spits “What?” and looks confused.
NEIL
No I think Rick did it.
MADISON
Rick? What? How?
Panel 3
Close-up on Neil. He mugs for the camera.
Panel 4
Neil pints the remote at Madison and presses a button.
NEIL
Something like this.


Page 5
Characters: Neil, Madison 
Panel 1
Madison looks at Neil, puzzled. Her breasts are now larger, somewhere in the C-cup range.
MADISON
Huh?
Panel 2
Madison looks down in horror at her breasts as buttons fly from her blouse. Double-D cleavage fills the gap left by the departed buttons.
MADISON
Stop! Staaaahp!
Panel 3
Perky G-cup breasts have shoved her bra down and her blouse out of the way and jut from her chest toward the reader. Madison would be looking at the reader if her eyes weren’t closed. Her face seems to be asking if the reader sees what she’s seeing.
MADISON
I’m imagining things. This isn’t real. I’ll open my eyes and...
Panel 4
Madison looks down at her volleyball-sized breasts.
MADISON
Oh god.


Page 6
Characters: Neil, Madison 
Panel 1
Madison glares at Neil. She looks seriously pissed.
MADISON
I do not know how you—
Panel 2
Madison’s eyes glow red. Her face is expressionless.
MADISON
I am yours to command, Master.
Panel 3
Neil sits and stares at Madison. Madison stands stiffly and is expressionless.
NEIL
Master? Wha...?
NEIL
Maddy? Are you... uh... OK?
Panel 4
Madison stands stiffly and is expressionless. Neil face-palms.
MADISON
Your slave is fine, Master.
NEIL
And I am so fucked when you wake up.
Panel 5
Madison still looks like she is in a hypnotic daze, but she licks her lips hungrily.
MADISON
Yes Master. Your slave will fuck you when she wakes up.
NEIL
Oh man. I’m dead. Unless...
NEIL
Madison, you love having huge boobs.


Page 7
Characters: Neil, Madison 
Panel 1
Madison looks like she did on page 6 panel 1.
MADISON
Did that—
Panel 2
Madison gives the reader a smokey, lust-filled gaze. She plays with her nipples.
MADISON
But I love it!
Panel 3
Madison poses to give the reader and Neil a profile shot of her jutting breasts and aroused nipples.
MADISON
Oh my god, they are sooooo sexy!
MADISON
What do you think, Neil?
Panel 4 
Madison leans into Neil, shoving her breasts into his face.
MADISON
Want to play with them?


Page 8
Characters: Neil, Madison 
Panel 1
Madison’s expression is one of orgasmic rapture as Neil cups a breast in both hands and licks at a swollen nipple.
MADISON
Uh! Uh! Oh gaaaawd!
MADISON (THOUGHT)
Why is this so... good?
Panel 2
Madison and Neil are both topless. Madison is on top of Neil on the couch. She is moaning and writhing in ecstasy as Neil plays with and sucks on her breasts.
MADISON
Oh yes. Oh please. Oh yes. Oh please...
MADISON (THOUGHT)
Ohhhh! I have to... To FUCK him!
Panel 3
Madison looks relaxed and happy in post-climax bliss. Her eyes are closed and her lips are smiling and talking.
MADISON
That feels soooo good, but we need to... We should....
MADISON
Oh GAWD! We should fuck! I..
Panel 4
Madison’s eyes snap wide open. She looks horrified by what she just let happen and where she’s headed.
MADISON
Omigod. wadd’re we doing?
MADISON
I’ve got a boyfriend, Neil!
Panel 5
Madison’s face is expressionless.
MADISON
I am yours to command, Master.


Page 9
Characters: Neil, Madison 
Panel 1
Madison’s face is expressionless. Neil waves his hand on front of her face as if to test just how deep she has gone.
NEIL
Madison?
MADISON
Yes Master?
NEIL
Have you ever seen any porn?
Panel 2
Madison looks at Neil, giving him a hungry, slutty gaze. Her body no longer looks as soft, she looks like she exercises regularly, training for the pornolymics.
MADISON
But he never made me feel this....
Panel 3
Neil’s PoV. Madison licks her lips seductively. Her eyes glitter and she radiates sex like she’s gone into nympho overdrive.
MADISON
This HORNY!
MADISON
Oh gawd I wanna ... Wanna...!
Panel 4
Neil sits on the sofa with his pants down around one ankle. Madison is on her knees between Neil’s legs. Her head bobs hungrily on Neil’s dick.
MADISON
Mmmmmm! Muv Mock!  Mucking muv mock!


Page 10
Characters: Neil, Madison 
Panel 1
Madison is on her hands and knees on the sofa. She looks back over her reader’s side shoulder at Neil behind her. Neil is about to insert his cock into her.
MADISON
Be careful, Kay? This is my ffffff—
Panel 2
Neil thrusts forward. Madison’s breasts rock. Her eyes are wide with surprise, and she is screaming with pleasure.
MADISON
Fuhhhhk! Oh gawd! Fuck me! FUCK ME!
Panel 3
Madison straddles Neil’s waist. Her breasts and hair bounce as she rides him. Her eyes glisten and she give s the reader a look that says he could be next. Neil points the remote at himself.
MADISON
More! More! More! More!
NEIL
Ok. Sure.

Panel 4
Madison’s head is thrown back and her mouth is a gaping, panting hole. She is still straddling Neil, except now Neil’s dick is glowing red and much larger and thicker, spreading Madison’s labia.
MADISON
Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!
Panel 5
Neil is missionary style atop Madison on her back on the floor. Her legs are wrapped around his waist and her nails claw into his back. Neil isn’t much bigger, but his musculature is now toned like a model’s.
NEIL
I could really get to like this.
MADISON
So could I! Fuck me harder!
MADISON
Fuh-fuck me like I’m your Puh-personal Pornstar.
Panel 6

Page 11
Panel 1
Madison snuggles into Neil. She looks awesomely contented.
MADISON
Wow. Those bimbos of Rick’s really had the right idea.
MADISON
Who knew?
Panel 2
Madison lifts her head up to look at Neil better. Neil is unconscious, fucked into an exhausted coma.
MADISON
Was it good for you, too?
MADISON
Looks like. Giggle.
Panel 3
Madison is bent over beside the sofa, pulling her panties up her legs.
Panel 4
Madison’s blouse is done up as well as it can with half the buttons gone and her tits hanging out.
Panel 5
Neil snoozes away. Madison is bent over him, sucking his cock.


Page 12
Panel 1
Neil is still asleep. Madison stands beside him, towering over him, holding the remote.
MADISON
Well if that didn’t wake you, guess you won’t mind if I borrow this!
Panel 2
Madison looks the remote over.
Panel 3
Madison looks down at the sleeping Neil.
Panel 4
Madison’s eyes narrow.
Panel 5
Madison is sucking on Neil’s cock again, but this time it’s only the tip because his dick looks to be about a foot long and proportionally thick.


Page 13
Panel 1

MADISON
Giggle! I’m such a slut!
LACY
Madison! What happened to you?
MADISON
This.
LACY
Maddy? Like, omigawd!
LACY
Lacy look all slutty an’ stuff!
LACY
Giggle! Lacy can’t think goodly. Brain all fuzzy.
MADISON
Like your head is stuffed full of cotton candy?
LACY
Like yah! Totally!
MADISON
Well, that explains this button.
MADISON
Wanna fuck?
LACY
Giggle! Lacy always wanna fuck!

Well, that solves that problem. :)

We are very sorry for the hole in the release schedule.  We had an unusually high number of artist meltdowns this time, and combined with a rather punishing schedule on my part, we weren't able to get alternate content in fast enough.  We'll catch up, promise!
