New story arc! I personally consider this the most dramatic piece of work I’ve made.
Have fun!

Character: Chris Rusae
An odd mix of gamer and adventurer. Is a tech whiz, and not afraid to use it to meet his own means. Costars in the spinoff SR:Scouting. Accomplished at hot-air ballooning. Fun fact: His design is modeled after the character in Pokémon Crystal, and his last name is based off of the Hoenn games.

Plans
And we have a segway into the next story arc! While this is the last comic of the current arc, I have decided to stop with the quotes at the end. They are neat, but they were becoming a hassle.
And yes, I had to get one final static electricity joke in. Also, in case it isn’t obvious, the “LALALALA” is coming from Percy. He’d prefer not to know what Jorocks and Holly are doing, even if it’s innocent.
Have fun!

Frizzy
I. Hate. Mirrors. That mirror caused so many redraws… But on the plus side, FRIZZY! Nikki’s hair is based on another real life experience; my little sister and I spent the entire two hour drive home from Grandma’s generating static electricity with blankets one Christmas several years ago. Mom was less than pleased when she tried to comb my sister’s hair.
And in case you didn’t get it, this “power glove” is made from a material that Percy either found or synthesized from Ichabod’s ship, hence his rapid changing of the topic.
Have fun!

Shocking Lessons
Ref: Ba-doom-tsh | Zot
After reading the previous comic, one of my friends made the joke of “power glove”. A minor script edit later, and you see the result. Also, Jorocks is just too fun to look at when he gets electrocuted. Poor guy, that means it’s likely to happen repeatedly.
Also, I had a small cameo over at Louis and Pi’s comic (and Louis was nice enough to plug ths strip!), so you should go see it.
Have fun!

Innocence
Oh Percy… He clearly has no idea what he accidentally implied. And just to be clear, what Percy and Nikki were doing WAS completely innocent. If you’ve never taken a fuzzy blanket and rubbed it in your hair in a dark room, you are missing out on one of life’s simple joys. Warning: If you wear glasses, it’s a good idea to take them off first, as metal conducts electricity. This comic is another that spawned from an actual event.
Have fun!

Webcomic Secret Santa Exchange: Michelle Mau
Today’s comic is thanks to the wonderful Michelle Mau of Band Geeks Anonymous (as well as her other comic, Loud Era)! This was her gift to me in the 2010 Web Comic Secret Santa Exchange. She has Chris point out something that surprisingly has yet to be mentioned in the comic and has not been brought up by fans until now, at least to my knowledge.
If you want to see my contribution to the Web Comic Secret Santa Exchange, head on over to Prepare To Die, a fantastic comic by Michael Dellheim about three players of Weapons & Wizards who get sucked into their own game and realize it’s not quite following their script…
Have fun!

Fanart By Louis 3
Ref: Fun Chris & Jorocks reference (which incidentally was posted almost exactly 1 year ago)
Louis’s own charcter makes a cameo appearance today, and she has quite accurately captured the reactions of the cast! Be sure to check out her other artwork here!
Have fun!

Revenge Of The Plot Bunnies
Ref: Plot Bunny
The plot bunnies return, in the form of the main cast! Silly plot bunnies, dancing around my head with all the stories I want to write but don’t have time for. This comic pokes a bit of fun at my current situation: I love student teaching, but it is VERY TIME CONSUMING, meaning the comic takes a hit.
Also, I don’t think it’s ever been established in canon that Percy likes to toss tennis balls absentmindedly, although it has been seen in a few sketches. I shall have to include that sometime.
Have fun!
