Comic #473

Of course I was going to show you the full blueprint. As you might be able to guess, I drew a bit of inspiration for the ship’s design from Calvin and Hobbes’ bizarre schemes, notably Operation Kapow. Not to mention my own childhood. Who hasn’t drawn half a million maps, mechanisms, and secret plots before?

I’ll be honest, I’m very happy with the way this one turned out. Between achieving a convincing ‘blueprint’ look and managing to cram in all of the details that my Sophia’s brain cooked up, I’m proud of the finished product. Hope you feel the same!

See you Friday!

    1. Something I’ve noticed is that we haven’t really seen anybody’s last name! Jesse, can you give us some info on your characters last names? (BTW MY last name is Razer, if you were wondering) ( Xane Razer )

    2. OH, and this: JUNEY JUNEY JUNEY! (U MAD JUNE?)
      (aint gonna kill ME for saying that, cause ill kill YOU first! HAHAHAHAHHAHAH!!!!)

      1. I really hope Maxx goes fishing and gets sand shark hands while on the boat. They’re so awesome, and if Maxx has them, we’ll be seeing a LOT of them.

    3. uuuhm… did everybody forget about the mana flower in cyrill’s head? or is he gonna make an epic comeback soon? (jesse please answer)

  1. Well… Looks like either even June doesn’t want to cross the ocean anymore because of the boat, it’s way to complicated OR it’s just too AWSM for her to handle! I think that it’s option 3 personally!

    1. Twuster with SOOO many "ideas".

      Heck, why even have it bound to the ocean.
      With all that potential, I’d rather see it fly.
      Or just have Maxx toss purification powder all over just to go by J.E.W.:
      June Entrusted Weapon.
      But then it would be D.E.A.D. J.E.W since purification might not work.
      JEW is what it was already, and, DEAD is, well, dead.
      Dead June-Entrusted Weapon.

      1. Oh.
        You’re actually expecting a Terraria one?
        Nah, the most I’d do is just doodle some scenes onto paper, and be done with it.
        Sorry.

  2. I’m so gonna draw something like this now. And then build it in terraria.
    BTW, keep up these awesome comics! These are the favourite things in my weekly routine to do EVER!!!

    1. But then again, the tree part was pretty sincere to show that Sophia might genuinely care about June.
      But then again, man-children don’t even KNOW June.

  3. June’s expected reaction “This… This. Is. The…BIGGEST WASTE OF TIME AND ENERGY I HAVE SEEN IN ALL MY DAYS!!!” I personally think it is AMAZING!!!!!! Love it!

    1. Also, calvin and hobbes is my favorite comic. Period. Is the zen garden loaded with wallnuts and marigolds?

  4. Lol. Zen garden. XD It would have been way funnier if Sophia’s ‘I’s had been dotted with hearts, but this was pretty great regardless. And in-character.

  5. Everything about this post is a win. The stabbo arm. The creative use of space with that rock wall. The fact that Gus is the only one who gets a bedroom/prison.

    Gatling gun: can be turned backward for more thrust.

    Oh, dear… Ummm…Jesse, will you be equipping everyone with kevlar vests? ;D Though I don’t know how much good that would do against those guns.

    OH! They need to put a library in the ship. Then Cyril will join them!

    1. Fishing rod? WAIT A FLIPITTY FLOOP FLOOP FARPLOO SECOND. IT’S NOT FOR NO REASON- IT’S FOR DUKE FISHRON.

  6. Brilliant comic! Love the boat…and June… “I’ll compound fracture every one of your bones in alphabetical order”

  7. I agree with the look on June’s face after she saw the blueprints. When I saw it myself I thought, “HOLY #@$! THIS IS ONE HELL OF A MECHANICAL MONSTROSITY!”

  8. I love it. June’s snark, the buildup in panel 3, and all the creativity in the blueprint. I especially liked how well the stuff in the blueprint fits with Sophia’s character. It was very cute. Great work Jesse!

  9. Also, I stayed awake past 10 PM just to see the comic on the actual day. Of course, it was posted at 12:59.

  10. I feel the tank would get in the way of the tank treads as it’s under them.

    If they weren’t still in pre-hard mode I would say is was a good time to meet the pirate.

  11. What is the expression on junes face at the end xD is it pure rage or resignation or is she actually surprised for once?

  12. I find myself strangely curious as to what the *note on the giant dagger could be. I mean, all the weird stuff on bored and that’s the thing they felt needed a footnote.
    Long time reader first time commenter. Excited to have you back!

  13. Funny how it actually looks like it could be seaworthy, if it was a shallow sea. Even weirder that it looks oddly like an airship I tried to build a while ago.

  14. Bucket o' BuckBucks

    Wait, if the Naiad are the only ones who know how to sail anymore, would that make the pirates Naiad?

  16. Congratulations Maxx. You have done something amazing. You have made June’s brain shut down.
    And to you June, take Maxx’s advice. Weep.
    Now I know who to call when I want a boat made. The ocelot enclosure got me sold.

  17. Why would they want an ocelot enclosure? Those things are just fox-eared assholes.
    Then again, they are pretty awesome. I do hope the enclosure has some toys, or a tree branch or something. It looks like Meowschwitz in there.

  18. To make June “Less mad”. Yes. I also love how there’s a chocolate milk spill on it. Geez, some of the subtle things make it so much better. Perfect 11/10 in my book, Jesse!

    1. Thanks a bunch! I totally agree about the details– if just a couple people notice the milk stain, then it was worth adding!

  19. There’s a cat on the hull of the blueprint Maxx I’m sorry but I don’t know think you have the time to build this

  20. Every body hit the deck (when its made) June’s guna explode 5…4…3…2…1 wait no boom awww I wanted a boom (and a cookie)
