Well, that took forever to make.
We’ve seen Poa’s knack for keeping track of June’s heroes’ deaths before. In unrelated news, remember when I was terrible at making comics?
Last Maple and Poa strip was mostly superhero discussion, so here’s a sprinkling of jokes, philosophy, random thoughts, and gossip. I pretty much let my train of thought ramble from one thing to the next, so hopefully the conversation has a natural feel to it. It might not be screamingly funny, but I hope you can still enjoy Maple and Poa being bored together!
See you for comic 500!
-Jesse
Edit: Yep, Maple is a girl. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that there’s confusion, since it’s kind of hard to tell with those tiny sprites– but since I’ve always known that Maple was female, I didn’t really think about the fact that some people might think otherwise. Figured I might as well chime in and put an end to the mystery!
YAY MAPLE AND POA 😀
You guys have absolutely no idea how long I was waiting for this. SOOOOO HAPPY
Wait, we have guards? I never knew we had guards! Nobody did! Quick, call the council of the Elders! New discovery!
Ok, lets leave them there until we forget about them again. It’ll be at least 100 comics till we remeber them!
Yay my niece and cousin-in-law!
Whate does the mean maple and poa are related to you by blood…or tree sap…
How does your blood work
It’s blood, no, tree sap.
I don’t know…
Also Maple is my brother’s daughter and Poa is my wife’s cousin
What? I have no relation to you. You’re dead. Also, Maple always said she was June’s sister. Weird.
Look, we cant just go round editing the characters! If Maple was June’s sister, then why would a ROYAL be on guard duty, not on the throne?
Is it my device, or does this one have bad quality
Hmmm, I have noticed that Jessy has been posting his comics pretty late, (this one was posted 2:23 am). Unless our timezones are different…
I was wondering that too, Mr Flower… guess that makes us the second semi-inanimate objects in the comment section
Its Jessie.
Ugh. Autocorrect. Jesse, not Jessy nor Jessie. 🙂
Ok I can see a ship getting ready to sail here. Anyone else? MaPLE X POA ANYBODY?! =D
Technically, they’re always dating. Because they are (probably) unrelated members of the opposite gender, and Maple has said that she would offer if she didn’t like Cyril.
Why does half of all the girls in this comic fall in love with Cyril, anyways?
Waiiiiiiit… Am I the only one who thought maple and loa were both male?
Actually Maple was teasing Poa. BRUH…get it right!
Dryad guard duty: 0% skill, 100% creativity.
+1
OMYGOSH WHERE’s the comic????? I’m so jittery ’cause I want FIRST
Hmm, she wants to snag Cyril, hmm.
Aww.
Welp, Cyril’s not gonna want to stick arohnd for long, if at all, when he’s in the jungle now.
Also The creation of Guiness
So, Sophia is 14. Nice to know.
how old was she when she was captured and put in the dungeon?
She said she hadn’t eaten in years. that probably means she was younger than nine when she set up the dungeon death traps. Adorable little serial killer, indeed.
Ok, I went back to when they first met Sophia, she said she hadn’t eaten in years. She also said she had been shipped out by her family. Where did she learn to mechanic? How do I know I can trust my mechanic’s stuff? Why do bunny heads keep falling on my roof? These are questions that can never be answered.
The bunny heads? OH NO THEY KNOW TOO MUCH RELEASE THE JADE MONKEY 🙁
Jade Monkey?
It’s one of my really obscure references. This time it’s the Simpsons epsiode Rosebud
NOT BUNNY HEADS NOOOOOOOO
Blame it on june
Yeah I’m not kidding, my house is in a valley and for some reason bits of bunny keep falling on it. Either that or the bunnies land on my traps and get blown to bits.
it’s the slimes killing bunnies.
I used to have a similar problem. More specifically, bunnies nearly invaded my place until I moved to an artificial floating island that I built.
lol what they are doin XD HELP ME GET NEW GRAVATAR OR DO IT FOR MAHHH OR I CALL MOON LORD TO KILL YA!
I thought that it was elder acorn who was being referred to, not Sophia
How old is Elder Acorn?
Erm… I’m not sure, I think around 100 years?
dang, dryad childhood is long
Oh… this makes her personality makes a biiiiiiiiit more sense.
On a side not, I think me and Sophia are suffering from the same mental disorder 😛
I wanted to learn which one was moron and which one was stinkwad… Ah well, it doesn’t matter.
Or does it?
TYPO! Jesse’s comment: ‘but I HOP you can still enjoy…’ instead of HOPE.
Fixed, thanks!
Hey jesse! bean some time since you commented! probaly because of what I’m doing right now! and after reading all that, now all the gavatars look upside-down!
Is the ouraboarus going to to be mentioned if they see a wyveren?
Probably.
I changed my Gravatar, finally!
nope u didn’t jon cena
I feel like the Jesse in the avatar turned around
that was so loooong! xD
Maple and Poa comics, I love these. 🙂
It’s time, at last we’re so close to the 500th page… Jesse, all I can say is… Thank you times 500.
He’s done more tthan that! The Maple & Poas, the holiday ones, the marmoset one, the April Fool’s one, the website special.
Welp, I do know about those, but hey! It doesn’t matter actually, he won’t answer bro, I’m here since page 55 and I don’t think he’d ever replied one of my comments, and they aren’t the usual “FIRST” comments, so, yeah, thanks for pointing it out I guess.
That sucks, he replied to my first comment. It was a question
This man has a terminal case of ‘Senpai won’t notice me’.
Loved it! Also, gratz in advance on getting this far! 500 comics is a HUGE milestone!
That’s if you don’t count all the specials and fractions
499 1/2 maple and poa special!Woooo! Yay! Woooo! Yay! Woooo! Yay! Woooo! Yay!
Yeeesssss I was waiting for this. >:D
Tristram? Ominous namedrop is ominous… or a red herring.
Maybe its like that other guy’s theory, or Jesse has extremely good taste in dubstep.
They have names you know \(o_o)/““`
Tristram could also be a reference to the last village in the first Diablo game: Tritram Village.
Also, I just began commenting here a week (or so) ago, and it’s not easy to remember ‘Shoguntrooper’.
Also, Yeah I was VERY surprised that actually the name of a previous hero fell.
Maybe that’s the name of the only guy who crossed the ocean. Or maybe that’s the name of a sea monster or something that claimed the lives of the other 13. Or maybe….actually, those are my only two theories.
maybe.
Maple is a girl.
Ok than.
I’m kinda oblivious…
how do you know that for sure
Didn’t Poa refer to Maple as a “she” in this strip?
Also, isn’t Maple generally a feminine name?
We could both be completely wrong, of course.
A: Jesse confirmed it.
B: She’s my frickin niece.
Yeesh, the pigmy caves are getting crowded
As all living being, Maple is bless with authentic freedom. Maple may be of any chosen gender at any time 😛
She appears male but acts and talks about herself as a female.
NO! No tumblr gender BS! Please!
Also, leaves cover Maple’s chest and not Poa’s, therefore Maple is female.
don’t worry i didn’t relies till this strip here
Cyril, you might not be here next comic, or maxx, or actually anyone…
Isnt Ouruboros a virus from Resident Evil Revelations 2 años the name of a Mouse¿
I would have no idea so I don’t know why I’m replying
I vas ze most beautiful zing I ever read… Good vork jesse.
use vonder vaf!
Hmm… you know what, 499.5 “technically” rounds up to 500… so, here:
blob:https%3A//drive.google.com/35ea46b3-f139-4b40-b871-cd5f137f0718
I made a (somewhat) animated recreation of the very first Legend of Maxx comic. I hope you like it!
Aaand… the link doesn’t work… dang it.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_-Ijue58pY0azk5WlM2SmhFNDQ/view
That should work… hopefully
Hey that’s pretty cool. I like how the bunny sticks its head out from behind a rock, like; “Whats this guy?”
Hey megamage, you should do a legend of maxx animation series!
Since the legend of maxx video voiceover project is cancelled…
I could help you!
I’d love to do more… But unfortunately, this one comic took forever for me too make, and anything more would be beyond me. I might make more another time if I get better at animating though.
DIBA ON PLAYING MYSELF!!!!
Dibs*
That’s awesome, MegaMage, thanks a bunch! What did you use to make it?
You’re welcome Jesse! I actually made it with GIMP, by making each frame of animation as a new layer and exporting the whole thing as an animated gif.
Of course… doing it that way took a pretty long time, there was a lot that I wanted to do but couldn’t, and I’m pretty sure that theres much more efficient ways to animate… But, I managed make it work for this!
Jesse is that “Jesse” from the Minecraft Story Mode? LOL
You, my good friend, need to replace that other guy
One does not simply make a comic That long
Jesse simply does
It’s only now that I got they are girl and guy and not two guys. Well, it’s not that obvious sometimes so excuse me!
So Maple IS a girl. I thought she was a guy. xD
How cool would it be if maple and poa ran at dryad speed to the eastern coast in time for them to hop on the boat and join the crew?h
I wish… Too bad I’ve got guard duty for the next eon.
You now do cause u asked
You and me both buddy.
poa is better then maple
They are both equally good.
Finaly a maple and poa comic! We have all been waiting for this jesse. (Btw wtf is this 499 1-2!!!???)
1/5
Legend of max tradition, Jesse first did it as a troll, now it’s just not a problem
Btw one of the legitest most legit longest legit legit comics ever, so much legitimacy
How would they know Sophia? The only time they saw her was when the group walked through the jungle and said hi.
I like the way time just seems so fast to them, even though they seem to experience it at the same speed as people. I just can’t stop pointing things out that I like about them. There’s nothing to hate.
Also, with 84 panels (unless I missed any long panels that take up two panel spaces) this is longer than the last “The Amazingly Boring Adventures of Maple and Poa” and, I believe, the longest comic yet.
I can’t be the only one who didn’t know Maple was a girl.
I’m fairly sure 399-and-a-half was longer than this one.
Just so you know, I don’t mean that in a mean way, pun intended, but more in a teasing sort of way, y’know? You know.
399 and a half was 72 panels long. This one is 84.
I counted 81 panels, but it’s entirely possible I miscounted. This one is longer than 399.5 either way.
Does this count towards my guess with xane coming back, because this is 1/2 a comic according to the count, and if it doesn’t count then my guess will hold at 500
Tristram? He must have been important if they still remember his name…
THEORY CONFIRMED!!!!!
What was Sophia’s costume btw, I’m just gonna guess that it’s a plumber
Wow, these go up early
We need more of these
Everyone was waiting it!
Now, for 500!
wait… Maple was female?
Guys… from what I’ve thought about for the last 7 years or so, so far my answer to “What is the meaning of life?” is that there is no meaning of life. Life is a sandbox game. One without limits and with infinite space. Choose your own limits. Don’t let what controls others control you. Dare to be different.
42.
No, it’s a dirt box, easier to shape
No it’s 42, the meaning of life,the universe and everything. Haven’t you read the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy?
huh ur there
4 is the universal number! Any other number can be linked to four.
It’s name is a sandbox OK?
Also, according to Einstein, the amount of matter in the universe cannot change, meaning no matter can be created or destroyed.
heh, well, recent discoveries point that when 2 particles of light containing rally high energy can destroy each other and create a piece of matter and antimatter, and so, when these 2 pieces of matter and antimatter collide they destroy each other and crea te 2 particles of light with a charge of 13 times a nuclear bomb’s.
I heard it un a museum. xD
Sorry I didn’t get back to you because LoM ended temporarily. Matter and antimatter annihilations do not violate the first law of thermodynamics. Instead, they simply convert matter into energy, like Einstein’s famous equation says. c
500
503 comic
521 comic actualy
I am so happy about this.
SO HAPPY.
And also, obligatory Red vs Blue reference:
‘Hey’
‘Yeah?’
‘You ever wonder why we’re here?’
Did you see the end of season 13?
WARNING: Some panels of this comic MAY cause existential crises.

Spam much?
they should meet another player character and they should be an archer
And a mage.
someone better than cyril
OMG I DIDN’T KNOW THAT WAS A GIRL
If there where already 14 other heroes who got this far then what happened to the swords they gathered? How did the Naiad get the Muramasa back or if there is more then one why can’t they use one of those instead of going into the dungeon to get it from them?
The Naiads use the cloning potion to make more Murumasas, but since no one else has murumasas only the naiad can clone them
Maybe there’s that whole sword champion thing if it get’s lost it goes back to it’s original owner
June took the Blade of Grass back to the Jungle, the Lights Bane disintegrated, and Xane used super speed or something to get the Muramasa back, and killed the previous Dryad guards. Sorry, Maple and Poa, but your on the chopping block.
Not sure how they do it, we just grow ours
I had assumed June took back the Blade of Grass and the Light’s Bane doesn’t matter in this story. I guess Xane does recover the Muramasa but finding it could be hard, unless they are the reason why the heroes never get past the ocean stage.
What would life be like without Maple and Poa?
My friend and I had nearly the exact conversation with the word both.
81 panels. Dang.
The one half comics are always really really really long. I’m glad this one keeps that trend flowing!
Reaper is waiting for new comic. Reaper is impatient. Reaper may get violent. There may be blood.
NO KILL!!! NO KILL!!! NO………………………. (thud…..)
Is Jesse a boy or girl
Maple x Poa, i ship them ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Please don’t bring memes into this comic… it’s the one thing that makes my day.
The bad thing isn’t discovering if maple is female, but POA WAS MALE?
Jesse, you were never terrible at making comics!!!
Never mind that Maple is a girl, I looked at her colors and thought she was one of the Djinn, assigned with Poa to guard the border between their realms. Well, still reading….
OH YAH DADDY JUNEY
>.< pls dont block me
