Yeah, this is a tradition now.
Clocking in at 72 panels, this is by far the largest comic I’ve ever made! Even though it took ages, I kind of enjoyed it… it’s fun to be able to write a long, rambling conversation between two bored border guards without having to worry about conserving space. I have to admit, I’ve grown a bit of a soft spot for Maple and Poa… there’s something charming about their utterly pointless existence.
I’m hard at work on comic 400 as we speak, so… hopefully… it will be out on Wednesday! It’s… it’s going to take me a while.
-Jesse
OH YOU SUCK!
( this one may have been made in spare time, this is filler every thing needs filler time right before a HUGE fight, or a huge letdown. either way it’s still a work in progress so there’s still some things that jesse can add. )
😀 Best Maple and Poa comic so far.
I know, right? I wait a whole weekend to see them…. TALKING
XD
what if he made a comic 399 3/4 lol
“Comic 400 is (finally, finally) done, and will drop tonight! It’s not a fake-out this time, I promise!
About 5 hours ago from Jesse McMinn’s Twitter via web”
Fortunately, no.
TIME PARADOX. I posted this at 3:41 PM, and you posted THAT at 5:40 PM. ON THE SAME DATE.
Why is the quality so bad Jesse?
Really Dude!?!?!?!?!?!? REALLY???
Must’ve taken you forever being so long though.
I don’t think it took him much longer than the usual comic. Poa has the same pose except for a few tweaks and when he raises his arms in the air. Maple has the same pose except for his face. I am not creative though. (I don’t want to sound to critical, sorry if I am)
It took a loooong time. It was simple, so it was fast going relatively speaking, but the sheer length of it made it take quite a while.
i believe you. You had me going though… I can’t wait for wednesday!
say, how long does a average comic, like 8 panels take you to make?
In my opinion, it should have been a Demo and Merchant comic…
@dederp: It’s really variable, because it depends on how quickly I can get a script hammered out and whether or not it requires new builds/ sprites. The absolute minimum these days is probably 2 hours, and the average is more like 4.
I love this comic even though its added suspense for the 400 (congrats btw) its awesome and I’m glad it’s a new tradition. Good luck on comic number 400!
Guessed it. It doesn’t show anything about June leaving thought. 2nd BTW
LOL The old refresh the page trick.
I feel like Maple and Poa might have an important role a lot later in the comics. The comic is only about a sixth done right
Yeah i hope so to. Maybe in the final battle every one of Maxx “friends” comes and help him and figt whit the evil guys.
I love your comics
This is tradition now. Every hundred you need to have a half comic.
At comic 500 the ship must come true.
what? What ship?
Ahem… You know, the ship…
The encased ghost ship…
WOW Wow wow really Jesse? comic 399 AND A HALF whats next comic 399 and half and a half?!
I cant process the ridiculessness in this comment .also, just a question jesse, can you turn my icon into the icon on my google?[if you can view emails.]
Aint nobody got time fo dat!
Uh,,, som’thing like this?

OH MY GOD BEST IDEA EVER.
399 3/4- The Merchant and Demolitionist!
Dangit, Stop giving him ideas!
Oh no, its too late now
399 4/5 a tyrone comic derp
399 5/6 is a man bat and man spider comic.
399 78729/12128917313 more tyrone killing
don’t tempt him…
Saw it coming, but this one was actually pretty funny. I’d like to see comics about Man-Bat and Man-Spider.
Without actual spiders, of course.
Who didnt see this coming
Maple and Poa are like the icons of Jesse’s trolling powers.
I love their interactions. It’s like a back-and-forth stand-up routine, like “Who’s on first” for instance.
Where is the like button for the manstating the trolls tools 🙂
Loling at anyone who didn’t see this coming. At least this will(possibly) serve as a nice segway into June’s reappearance
Lol, Maple and Poa comics kind of remind me of the play Waiting for Godot.
Called it!!! So called it! Along with… a ton of other people.
I KNEW THAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN. SO EPIC. BTW Jesse, is this the longest comic or is the full body shot of the eater of worlds longer?
Man-spider and Man-bat. hmmmmmm…
Am I really the only person who actually read through the whole thing?
no, you’re not the only one.
and I love the dialogue.
Man-Bat is a villain in Man-Bat, so Man-Bat doesn’t mean to be Batman. I have nothing for Man-Spider…. Amazing Spiderman 3 Villain? xD
Err… Second Man-Bat is Batman. (Man-bat is a villain in Batman)
Man-Spider is a mutated Spiderman. Totally a thing.
This one’s a lot taller! This one is 8243 pixels tall, Eater of Worlds was 2709 🙂
Whaaaaat???
39 1/2 srsly?
Anyway nice work as always
lol.
39 1/2
Do u even #legendofmaxxpastcomic#s
I love this schtick.
i like how they are kinda talking about beetle armor =P
And Spider armor.
Is about 92 panels
72 panels.
no 72. 1
Think of it as an array. 24 down, 3 across 24
x 3
72
what?
i counted it all and it is 82 :I
The words where blury
I thought this was going to move into one forming Marvel and the other forming DC and then them having an all out brawl. I was wrong.
I knew it
Dude be patient. Read the description and you’ll see that he’s working on comic 400, as it is a huge fight that’s about to go down.
I really do think he should make a 399 3/4 with the demolitionist and merchant
its a fact man-spider would win.
No way!
Yes way. It’s Spiderman, and Batman.
Maybe not. Maybe it’s Man-Bat (the Batman villain) and Man-Spider (mutated Spider-Man.) Did you ever think about that? Man-Spider probably would beat Man-Bat though.
Though that’s about 3/4 the way to the actual Spider-Man and Batman. I mean, they’re in the right universes and one of them is technically Spider-Man.
Maxx wouls just own both of them with shampoo.
Jesse, hurry up with the battle between Maxx and Xane. I want to see Maxx kicking his butt.
Or the other way around? OR MAYBE THE OTHER OTHER WAY AROUND.
or maybe hes licking his butt?
We don’t speak of these things.
@duckdude you’re gravatar looks like he readed zoiberg’s comment, sorry about the gramar
Yeep
*Takes a look at Maple*
Are you a boy?… Or a girrrl?
btw, Awesome comic Jesse!
Maple’s a girl 🙂 And thanks!
you still reading this?
I always read all the comments, I just haven’t been on the ball with replying to them lately.
WAAAA?
Milord! im gonna build a death star in terraria in your honor! peace!
I ship it!
WOW JESSE. WOW
Knew this was going to happen. >3>
I guess i’m the only one who tought a giant flying fox would attack them at the “bats are awesome” part.
Man-Spider and Man-Bat are ACTUAL comicbook characters :))
Posted about that about 12 minutes earlier. ;D Lol.
Yeah I noticed that after I posted my comment :/
Is your avatar…smiledog’s face?
*an eerie ominous voice says in your ear:”…spread the word…”
Presumably Maple is counting seconds. So she’s been standing on one foot for just short of 51 days? I guess that gives us some frame of reference now for how long Maxx and co. were stuck on that cursed ship…
And a bit longer, but time may pass differently. Remember, they had that horizon-gazing contest. Either this is in the past, or that contest was really short. Besides, Maple won at 84 days, so 5 million seconds would be pretty short in comparison. About 57 days and 8/10ths. So yeah, it’s probably in the past.
man-spider should be someone in the new summoning armor!
hey, wasn`t almost every1 shouting for maple and poa a few comics ago? well now we got it………. lol man-spider and man-bat. Maybe the contest didn’t instantly start when they left, and this started like a couple comics ago.its a possibilitie.
Love these two guys! 🙂
Ooh! Ooh! Best idea! Maple and Poa spin-off miniseries!
so much YES
How do u see the comic
Hey, isn’t Man-Spider from smosh?
Maple and Poa have a special place in my hearth.
Wait……. hearth or heart?
oops
XANE VS MAXX! Xane uses magical dagger! It missed! Made uses stupidity! It’s super effective! Xane fainted! Lol pokemon battle. Keep up the good work!
Your icon looks like boobs
where is june
i dont know.but i hope she shows up soon.
Ah. Here it is, the final showdown of the Naiad assassin, Xane, and the chosen one, Maxx, in a battle of epic pro-….
….
….
Why.
For some reason, this page doesn’t show up on Firefox, so I had to briefly switch over to Chrome to see it :/
Im on firefox working fine.
“Hey, my man-bat could kick your Man-spider’s butt!”
*cough*

Trolltality
399 1/2 lol
Okay, you know what? Unpopular opinion here. I think these conversations are interesting and adorable and I want another M&P comic.
Not now though! OH GOD NO
Filllerrrrrrrr .3.
I’m sure many people would’ve been fine if this was No. 400, people HAVE been wanting Maple and Poa for a while.
lol, love it
Reminded me of this
YES!! HAHA!! I CALLED IT BABAY!!!!
Actually, it would be pretty awesome to have bat summoner armor for terraria. We already have the bat scepter, and spider armor as well.
I want to BE the Man-bat
Doesn’t the bat scepter just rapidfire a bunch of homing bats ala bee gun though?
You should have put in the first panel, “Meanwhile in the Jungle…” I feel like that would have fit this comic best.
This is a very good comic and I’ve been reading for a month or two now and I would like to know how you got into the comic drawing
I BLOODY KNEW IT
I agree with you Maple. Spiders in this game are gross.
Especially their nests. “shiversatthethoughtofseeinganintactcorpseinanest”
BUT YOU NEED TO SAVE DAT ONE STYLIST IN DEM CREEPY AND GROSS SPIDER DENS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Even though I have a texture pack that replaces the spiders in game (arachnophobia) the spider nests are still hella scary.
MOAR MAPLE & POA COMICS!
MOAR!!
MAXX CAN WAIT!
MOAR!!!!
I’m calling it. June will jump out in a murderous fit of rage and knock down Maple at 4,999,999.
lol, it’s wednesday. I love your comment teag2. lOlLoLlol LOL
”Hey… What if, like, someone had the power oof the bugs?”
ERMAHGERD BUG ARMOR,
10/10 WOULD BUG
someone should update the mod so it would have the adventure drink cyril took sometime ago and it would give you like almost all the positive potion effects
lol so did not expect this bit when is 400 coming out
Hey guys, remember comic 300? Xane said that they had a ‘snitch’ or informant. COULD IT BE ALEY?!?!
June is gonna be the snitch, dude/dudette
DUDE, it’s obviously Maxx! Look how much information he spouted last comic!
Joking… XD
I think June is the snitch cause she left right when Maxx and the others decided. If June really is, I can’t wait to see her again. In advance, CALLED IT!!!!
This is one of my favourite comics of all time. These two are completely adorable!
ohhh that dreaded 300 and a half great job building up to it Jesse but MAN thats cruel lol nice comic though and congrats on your biggest comic yet!
399 1/2* 😉
is blurry
It glitched that’s not my name
Ok now it keeps my name. And I meant it is blurry. It’s wierd cause I checked to see if my device was glitching, but the last one wasn’t blurry…
i really miss playing terraria about a year ago my pc had a huge crash and i had to reset the whole thing i have my save backed up but i don’t have the money to get a new os or a new pc i am 🙁
http://img.webme.com/pic/c/club-batman/man.bat.2.jpg
That really reminded me of smosh video Manspider 😀
what happened to /archives/1317?
oh, my bad, I didn’t realize the numbers were random.
Maples a girl?
duh!
Who noticed that Maple is using her staff to balance?
I really like these two. Their unimportance means they’re not seen as much, and if they’re not seen as much, there’s less, or in this case none, to hate about them.
Whos maple and whos poa
Did it Fix?
Sorry for Spam Just Testing my User Name
I can’t wait to wake up to another one of these tomorrow. It’s nice that they just seem so content, despite having previously acknowledged their potentially pointless existence.
im not the only one who ships these two, right? 😀
