dude, the way you color this story is fucking crazy! i love it!

thanks; I used to color this thing quicker but I'm finding it takes me longer now (it's supposed to be the opposite I think)... but there's always a little extra you can add to each panel that makes it a little more special and helps them all flow together as a whole.

it's an interesting challenge to create stories that work in micro-episodes AND as an entire book at the same time; sometimes my brain hurts.

the pacing and manipulating the character/audience tension has been half the fun of doing this thing (and half the education). And yeah, Kelly's not such a bad dude... is he? For a nazi anyhow.

Many answers and deeper down the rabbit hole approacheth quickly; diapers are recommended for the sensitive in the audience. They've got nice ones now with aloe-vera soothing the bum.

Despite always feeling palpably grimy after reading this series I'm eagerly anticipating the next turn of events.

Good show.

You dedicated a thong and swastika to your brother for his birthday. Now that's love.

Been waiting on this for a while, but you always make it worth the wait. Now I'm already trying to figure out where this is going from here, and I haven't a clue.

It must be... can't you tell by the heart-tagged thong?

Actually, I love how the crazy just notches up every other panel. From Max's Bellevue T-shirt (for the mental hospital in Manhattan, for the who's-at-home) to Ms. Crazy-Guns-and-Boner to Mr. Aryan No-Teeth. Still waiting for the triggers to get pulled, but it's quite the Mexican standoff.

Thanks for the sweaty-thonged love, big bro. I raise you a strap-snap.

it's my bad; I was in Brazil for 3 weeks. I'd hoped to get ahead but there was more production work to be done on SHOOTING WAR and it ate my prep time... and once I got to São Paul I couldn't justify sitting at my in-laws kitchen table drawing without any internet access even to post it when I was finished.

Apolly-loggies for the wait; I promise the pie is even sweeter the more you taste.

In all seriousness, when I scrolled down just enough to get the third panel on my screen, I started choking violently. Like something went down the wrong pipe, only I wasn't eating or drinking anything at the time.

That's messed up, man. Your comic almost killed me!

I went easy on you this week; make sure you've signed your will by this coming Thursday.

All cheek aside, this IS a comic about psychic energy and every character is fully-loaded with it, the colors (and color-coding) used are designed to generate effects in people. I'm very seriously interested to hear if you experience anything else physical while reading.

OOOOOOO SNAAAAAAAAAAAP!

There was originally another element to this exchange that I cut out of this sequence b/c it was getting crowded in the kitchen, where we see "reality" from Theresa's POV and hers is populated by a chorus of hefty you-go-girls cheering on her bitchyness like the crowd of a daytime talk show. Stay tuned for that ;)

I love to hate the pacing because I can't wait for Kelly to pull some awesome science out of his ass and put Max in his place. I'm completely on Kelly's side here--just cuz there's a Nazi tat on his bum doesn't mean he's a bad dude. Everybody makes mistakes...right?

I wait for the conclusion with bated breath. Or possibly delicate panting. Either way, I love every beautifully fucked piece of this incredible story.

Thanks very much for sounding off; nice to see/hear new faces round these parts and glad as shit that you're enjoying my work.

I hear you about the wait; I took my wife to Brazil to see her family for a few weeks and the trip wasn't conducive to comicking, and I'd look out the window over the São Paulo cityscape thinking about these little characters in that crazy apartment. I promise to play hard and loud for you all summer long... after all, there's a long road yet ahead for Max, Kelly and Theresa.
