Fruit Incest

Not that anyone ever checks it, but the Concentrate page recently got this little doodle. It may not seem like much but anyone who noticed it got the first look into my next little project based on my very own FIth gen. This little story arc will include quite a lot of parts and take up several comics, and that’s after I compressed and cut out a lot of stuff in it. To be honest, I was kind of hoping to save this for when I was better at all this, but since Nintendo decided to be competent and release the Fifth Generation of Pokemon games now they sort of pushed up my deadline since my delicious pun will only be relevant for a little while longer.

So just what shall you expect from all this? Well, don’t say I didn’t warn you when I said it’s a lot of parts. I’m sure by the end of this I’ll be sick and tired of Pokemon and will be anxious to drawing four panel jokes about a whale that takes two seconds to draw. Hopefully you guys will tolerate it a bit more. I had plenty of concentrate stuff planned to be released alongside this whole thing, but knowing me I’ll probably leave those till the last second. You know how I am with Concentrate.

So for now, enjoy the adventures of the unnamed Pokemon Trainers and their new journey into the world of badly planned fan expansion of your childhood memories, and give thanks to all the kind folks at Nintendo and Game Freak for creating the wonderful universe I’m about to butcher. I’m sure many happy people there go to bed at night feeling satisfied knowing they’ve provided nerds like me a chance to show off their super awesome pokeymons. Your help and motivation will be especially appreciated here to keep me going. So wish me and your new main characters good luck, and remember that you gotta catch all lolis.

Well it’s been some time since the site was unpresentable, so I think an update is in order, simply to change the technical difficulties. So far the only thing that hasn’t been fixed is the fact that the comment button and comment names are bolded, but that’s easily ignored.

In terms of comic updates, I apologize in advance if I get any lesser comics done or do a bunch of simpler ones all at once. I hate to be honest, but I’ve been a bit depressed lately. Yes, your happy hedgehog does lose her bubbly personality from time to time, but don’t worry about me. A rough patch for me shouldn’t mean no more funnies for you, so your incestuous relations shall continue!

I’ve had some projects in the works for some time, and I mean some time considering it’s been several months. I think it’s fair I give some sort of hint at least. So here’s a checklist of some of the things I need to do.

• Concentrate- I wanted to do at least one or two new doodles each month but that clearly hasn’t been done right. I’m not the type to get fanart either, so don’t expect too much in the just-add-water department.
• Special Art- I don’t want to spoil too much, but if you like some classic characters and color, along with 100×100 squares, then you’re in luck. I’m about three eights done with this thing so there’s some progress at least.
• Other Special Art- This is yet another Concentrate project I’ve had in the works for a while. It’s further down on my to-do list so don’t expect much in the near future.
• Blog Special- A very minor, hardly thought out project, but if I ever get around to it then this blog would be getting some work done on it. Or not. My biggest concern is regular updates getting lost in special blogs, as rare as they are, so this is yet another thing to add on the Concentrate list.
• FIth Gen- Unlike other things, this one does have a deadline, so expect me to bring great shame to my family if I don’t have this one done by mid September.
• Not Sucking- This one might take a while.
• Make an Egg Salad Sandwich- Haven’t had one in quite some time, so expect me to eat lunch in the near future and not talk about it. You want sandwich updates go to Twitter or something.

Good luck to all and good luck to me. Remember to love your lolis folks.

It’s finally happened, the big 100. I can’t say I’m less than surprised I made it this far without snapping. I’d gladly reward myself with an egg salad sandwich if it weren’t so late. Remind me never to draw robots again unless…oh, right. Well I’d like to take this opportunity to thank everyone that’s supported me this far. The few of you who somehow managed to follow me from the beginning kept me assured that the place was completely empty got me going when I felt the inevitable loss of interest creeping up. Those who discovered me later and kept coming back made me wonder how bored everyone must be. Seriously though, thanks to all my fans, and even those of you who aren’t fans and just stumbled upon this place at this exact moment, cause you help too.

I doubt the place will ever reach the crazy numbers of all the big shots, but as long as I get something out of it by the end of the day in the form of happy readers, it’s all worth the five bucks I’ve spent on paper and old office supplies, as well as the ridiculously expensive web hosting services and electricity bills that keep me online. I hope things get better soon, but you all make it good enough for now.

Now enough mushy stuff, we’ve come here to celebrate, now let’s party, just as long as said partying doesn’t involve more work such as actually updating this pointless blog no one reads or making more doodles for the nearly empty Concentrate section. Everything else though is game! Speaking of unnecessary work, I’m tempted to take the next update off and resume next Sunday, but I’m also tempted to keep going so I can brag about taking no breaks from the comic outside of Christmas time. That would be an awesome achievements for my most loyal fans to talk about, all five of them. I’m gonna get tired of that joke eventually.

For now, everyone enjoy these 100 brownies I baked for everyone, just be sure to share. I probably ate a couple of them and might or might not have lost a tooth in there. Toodles!

So there’ve been a lot of stuff going on with me lately. I got a new overnight position and have a crazy nocturnal schedule now. I also spent the last few days moving and handling a bunch of stuff, which really killed my Internet and comic time but I somehow managed.

Probably the biggest change, as some of you may have noticed, is saying goodbye to my beautiful cat today. I’ve had her for nine years this month, currently half my lifetime. After losing my home I was forced to move to some place in the middle of nowhere, and everyone seems to be against pets, so I couldn’t take her with me. It was truly one of the hardest things I’ve had to do, and I feel for anyone out there whose ever had to give up a pet. If anyone’s ever been to a local pet shop, particularly the big names like Petco and Petsmart, then you’ve probably seen the sad little kitties meowing at someone to take them home. If anyone’s ever felt sorry for them, then you’ve probably never been to the regular shelters where they keep the pets most of the time. It truly was a horribly sight, seeing all those poor little things sticking their paws through the cages hoping you’d take them home and save them, and my baby’s one of them now. She clinged to me tighter than ever before and I will always remember her and hope she remembers the fun times we had instead of thinking I abandoned her.

So yeah, if anyone’s wondering why I’m not as whimsical as I usually am, you know why. But the show must go on. These comics aren’t just something I do in my free time. I consider each and every one of them important work and very serious business. There shall always be funnies for those looking for a laugh. I’m sure those of you who care more of the behind the scenes work and such will still appreciate knowing how much I’m going through to get you your comics. Neither depression nor lack of stable Internet will keep me from my loyal fans who got Fruit Incest where it is today and will hopefully continue to move us onwards.

Also, to those of you who seem to be managing fine in this world of failing economies, there’s no harm in considering adopting a pet. You never know when you might find a cute little thing who was stuck without a home and left behind due to cruel fate that needs your help. You might even find someone as cute as this little angel.

Take care, sweet Amber. Your mommy misses you.

Ah, the poor neglected Cocktail section. Ignored even more often than the poor Concentrate section. I guess it is very unprofessional having a blog section but nothing to blog about. It’s not my fault though, there’s just not much to say. I sit down, draw a comic, and upload the QUALITY artwork to the public with some sarcastic quips in there. There’s nothing more to say unless you want updates on my regular life, which aren’t that impressive.

If you must know though, I’m starting a new job tomorrow. I haven’t gotten my hours yet, but I’ve been told it’s an overnight position, so comics may be rushed a bit for a while before I get the hang of things. My general nothingness shouldn’t be too greatly interrupted though, so fear not loyal fans who decoded the “new update” message.

In other news, I have some ideas on what to do with my Cocktail/Concentrate goodness, but those ideas have been in the works for quite a while and I’m too lazy to get started. So please, everyone nag me until I get off my butt and do some actual work or I’ll probably take even longer! Go, for the sake of that thing you don’t know what it is yet!
