BETTER WATCH OUT XANE, YOU’VE CALLED DOWN THE THUNDER
I’ve been experimenting with the pacing of the comic lately– specifically, I’ve been speeding events up. I’d be interested to know what you readers think about the pacing of the comic. Faster pacing means I can move the plot along more quickly, but it also means I might scrap some situational material if I find it doesn’t get the plot anywhere.
-Jesse
Thunder but Not lightning?
That would be Aley
YEAH
More like a pissed off nuke anyway
Why would you call down something that almost never hits anything?
I do believe it 50% of the time will hit Elder Fungus, anyway.
well, that means better call the storm then, since it has the heavy rain, lightning and thunder but, june will make some dirt storm anyway
So I guess zane called in the dirt?
I’m scared of June and also for some reason my gravitar has changed
Wait it hasn’t changed at all
Look, you don’t have to SAY you’re scared of June. That goes without saying. Everyone is scared of June. Except for June. June 1 is scared of June 2. So in a way, June 2 rules all.
i aint scared of her…. i can dodge her attacks with ease
Xane, are you high
Pfffffffft
No
THESE KEEP GETTING BETTER AND BETTER LOL
As for the pacing, I love sometimes to wait on silly situations see : Maxx eploring caves, Aley and the fuzz layer. Sometime, it is way too long. ie: Ice cave adventure. That was exhaustingly long. And for plot comic, i feel like you need to advance it in a way to keep the character true to themselves. June getting pissed off and running away from princess’s duty is pretty much the only thing we were expecting her to do. Even if it goes fast a bit, it’s ok. I would not have wanted 5 to 10 comic of Aley and June speaking until aley drops the name of Xane. That would’ve been boring, espceially in a month-longworth of comic
I agree, sometimes it’s better to go slower, so to not rush the story.
Dido, nothing else to be said, that’s a very good summary of how I feel.
Great comic as always, I’ve been following this from the start and I love it! Time to see some great June vs. Xane fights.
A faster speed is okay, but if some situational comedy will be funny I don’t think it should be tossed away. 🙂
I think the same!
Ditto
alright prepapre to get your ass kicked imma splah some shampoo in your eyes then strike the blow plus im fast as the speed of sound…..
Run the pacing as you wish, but don’t feel you need to skip funny things just to move the plot along. If it’s good material, use it. I love reading this comic because of how the characters interact with one another.
DEAR GOD
Oh
My
Friggen
God
This made me laugh.
ELDER FUNGUS FINALYYY!!!!AND HE PURSUADED JUNE TO HELP!!!AND IM OUT OF FOOT CREAM!!!
NOOOOO!!! NOT THE FOOT CREAM!!!!
hey dudes i have some foot cream….. now all i need to get is butt cream…..
And I was just reminded why Elder Fungus is my all time favorite character.
THE EAsT FIELD HAS GINGIVITUS
I think the pacing should be a little more slowed.
We get this stuff for free, so I think the pacing should be as slow as humanly possible, so we can get even more of it °^
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH
I thought it said “root cream”, and realized either could work.
Go to space and watch the world burn? STARBOUND WEBCOMIC COMFIRMED.
YES THAT WOULD BE AMAZING even though that’s a joke. STILL THOUGH STARBOUND COMIC WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH
Starbound mash with pixel pirates mashed with LoM. It could be interesting… o_O
So Elder Fungi is worse than Maxx, I find that hard to believe.
And yes I’m aware I called him “Elder Fungi”.
Just because it’s plural doesn’t mean you replace ‘Fungus’ with ‘Fungi’. Also you put is instead of are, so the correct sentance would be “So Elder Funguses are worse than Maxx.’ and yes, multiple Elder Funguses would be worse than Maxx.
I put “is” because I was referring to a single person, And not the definition of the word.
Hey Squid, how come your gravitar changed?
Then why did you call him Elder Fungi?
Also I was half-joking, but you know it is stupid to do things like that. It’s like calling June May and then saying you did it on purpose, it seems like you are just trying to confuse people.
Awareness and intent can be two different things, you know.
Yea pretty much, I originally wrote him as “Elder Fungi”, Then realized I was incorrect, So I added the additional comment saying I was aware of the mistake, To prevent people from pointing it out. (Which obviously failed in this case)
It was the way you worded it. Its more clear if you simply correct yourself for the following comment
Well, looks like this is the REAL return of June.
when does the mushroom biome show its part in da story?
It will eventually.
Jesse does tend to leave some things out of the comic that he feel wouldn’t add anything though, but i’m sure we’ll see the mushroom biome once again (maxx and cyril briefly passed by it in an early comic)
Have you forgotten the mighty HAMMUSH?
Have YOU forgotten the cron sword? Or the amazing Hear-poon?
It was the Heart-poon. You forgot the “t”
Yesssss
faster pace is a good idea, but only if there isn’t much to explain
Honestly, the fact that Xane was June’s ex is extremely unlikely, considering they are both different races that are BRUTAL enemies with eachother, so I’m glad things when this way instead of… that way.
It could still be that way. It could have been like Romeo and Juliet…except between a psychopath and a narcissist with anger issues.
Nice analogy, man! She’s implied that the war made her hate the Naiad though, so I find that unlikely
Yeah, she didn’t hate them BEFORE. Tensions might have been high beforehand, and the war made Xane decide his loyalties were with his king.
Good theory
They could be enemy’s because they broke up!
I’m going to say responsibility called down the thunder.
I DID IT
No, you didn’t
Elder Fungus and his old man banter did it.
Yes! I and my- wait, what was that last part?
Old man banter, Elder Fungus. Also how old is Elder Acorn?
Elder Acorn is twice as old as the ages of the other elders combined.
@Aley: Banter? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eB-aiRhKIpc
A round for EVERY ONE! Aley, if u wouldn’t mind 🙂
“North”? “South”? I thought we’d already established that the world is two-dimensional.
LAYERED two dimensional, actually
Who gives north and south are impossible either way
There’d still be only ONE West!
I vote for faster pacing. I like the comic even if the story isn’t really progressing, but I find it to be better when everything doesn’t take forever.
I’m all for the slower pace, Jesse. With your comics, not only do you get some good laughs out of me, but you’ve managed to paint a vividly detailed and in depth plot that I have yet to find in any other webcomic I follow. Even if it takes a few extra comics, I’m more than happy to read through them.
I kind of agree but i don’t really want it to be as slow as the viking ship arc.Somewhere in between sounds good.
I like a slowish pace as I’m in no hurry and a slower pace means we get to read this comic longer. The dialogue in this one is really great Jesse…made me laugh…”the corn in the East field has gingivitis” whaaat???
Dude I don’t think he’s gonna end the comic too soon. I mean, what will happen once they beat the wall of flesh and go into hardmode? Jesse still has a lot of ground to cover. Since this webcomic is so popular, I somehow doubt he would just end it once they get the nights edge.
MAYBE THEY HAVE TO ACTUALLY GET THE EXCALIBUR! (and for this webcomic the true night`s edge is needed but in the real game it doesnt) 😀 ANYONE AGREE?! sorry caps
man this comic seires has grown alot
hey remeber me… no thats ok i’m not even a acount
You can go a little faster just shorten stenctes don’t scrap funny stuff and plot like that
i just wanted to coment, not that anyone care
MY NAME IS JUNIPER THE DRYAD.
YOU KILLED A RANDOM ARMS DEALER I REALLY DIDN’T CARE ABOUT ANYWAY.
PREPARE TO DIE.
How about you make the comics longer but only twice a week?
I think the pacing was fine.
You know what wasn’t fine? You building up this thing with Ina for months, only to kill her off.
You broke my heart, Jesse.
Who was ina
Ina was Cyril’s wife then Remmy happened by the way Ina could return and/or Cyril/Tyrone could meet her in heaven.
Ah thx
I like how elder fungus just flys onto the panel from nowhere it’s weird and funny
I think it would be better for slower pacing because it gives a longer comic, and longer comic = more funny bits = WIN
Guys, did you not notice how the crown is GLOWING? Maybe June is soulbound to stay in the Jungle to do her queeny-ness
OMFG SUPER EXTRA CHANGES IN JUNE
she now has a red bow instead of of light red.
And her bangs are different
While things can sometimes drag on a bit with character development, remember that the details are where a lot of the strips individuality comes from. Otherwise it has the risk of becoming somewhat formulaic. Like any good ocean wave, it can ebb and flow, fast at times slow at times, all in one beautiful zen balance………. (corny)
Hooray! I’ve gotten June to help save the world! …though now I have to finish rotating all that corn… sigh…
Yay, Elder Fungus!
Muahahaha, I am the deity of pestilence! Fear me, as I will turn thine fields to rot and thine forests to ashes riddled with the diseased blight of a thousand worlds!
If you’re a deity of pestilence, I’m the lunar boss. 😛
Not bad comic Jesse, Keep it up 😀 😛
🙂 😀 😛 XD
Someday… I WILL RISE!!
Sooner than you think, old man. Just watch out – cause Mother Slime’s a-watchin’ YOU.
That sounds weird
Ok now im disturbed.
Hurray for elder fungus!
Wait…
413???
IS THIS WHAT I THINK?
Once again, man. Once again. 😉
If no one recognizes it, there’s a throwback in the comic regarding the dirt-filled water supply.
Spoilers: It was totally June’s fault.
Where is this reference?
It was during that special thing where we had character interviews.
Think it’s like comic 316 or something,
I think I have to agree with most everyone else, I like the slower pace as well. It can feel like it’s dragging on too long some times, but you’ll get that from anything where you’re excited to see what happens next. I think it’s part of the fun, and keeps everyone looking forward to what’s next. Enjoy the journey, not the destination, right? Either way, the viking ship arc did seem to be dragging on just a tiny bit too long, but again, nothing really wrong with that. After all, more comics to read~
There is no south. Or north.
Yes that was discussed earlier
I’m surprised that there is even a working economy, you know with the end of the world and everything.
whos in 2017
Well played elders
