Sorry for the late update, I was up all night drawing this little thingamajig right here, and you can check it out right now by just CLICKING ON IT.

In other news: Nothing! When I have more ideas, I will put them here. 

All these projects will be readily made viewable for you when they are done (if they get done).

It's true, I have a lot of homework due around Monday/Tuesday, but that's alright with me... I'll just do it tomorrow...

...I hope.

Anywho, time for me to watch more South Park episodes, and look over drawings I'm working with. Cya guys. 

Good news right?

When I'm too tired to make a strip I'll usually try to whip one up the next morning, but because today was school this had to wait until I got home.

Anywho, there will be another comic tonight! Check back at 12 am PST (If you can stay up that late (otherwise just check back tomorrow)).

Funny movie, though. Still.

EDIT: Check out that little blue and white button under every strip, guys. It's called transcribing and it's awesome. Basically, it'll help you all find the strips you're looking for once the strip has been transcribed. You type in the script, what's going on, etc., and in the future you can find that script just by typing in a bit of text that you remember. Help out if you've got the means! 

It doesn't happen a lot, but sometimes I can't sum up my thoughts into a coherent comic. I couldn't get anything out past that 1st panel, so I guess I lose on tonight's update.

Oh well.

Also: this may sound bad, but I hope Stacey's at home, just really sick. It'd be better than the stupid scenarios I play in my head.

---

In news, news I need people to transcribe some comics for me! That way everyone who wants to just search for comics can do so by typing in the "Search Allan" text field above the comments. Just click the "Transcribe This Comic!" button under the strip and it'll take you to a page to transcribe the current strip you're on. I'll do some in my free time, but if you guys can help out, I'd really appreciate it!

Thanks!

EDIT: If you don't see a "Transcribe This Comic!" button under the strip, it means it's already been transcribed, and it is ready for searching whenever you need to search for it! If there's an "Improve Transcription" button, it means it's partially transcript(ed+, but it could be better (Character names, etc.). 

April Fools. 

Before you start: Yes. It was an April Fools Day joke. I'm sorry I didn't get it up ON APRIL FOOLS, but I draw my strip for the day on the day it's happening. Next year I'll do one ON April 1st. I promise.

Uh, also: this character is not based on you guys. I love you guys. This character is based on a certain e-mail I got today about a guy who scoured the Californian obituaries looking for a Stacey, but apparently no Stacey 16-17 died yesterday. That's good news.

Plus, I would've never EVER done a strip about Stacey dying in a car crash if I didn't know for a fact she was OK (because I did actually see her on Monday, but I already had this idea in my mind).

So yeah. No more shocking for another 364 days. You're free to not sweat it.

PS. If you didn't catch it, the author's notes were in white, yesterday, and I will be editing them to normal color so everyone can read it. I'll also be changing the title of the strip to "April Fools" for no future confusion.

---

MORE COOL STUFF:

I still need Transcriptions! I've been working on them, but I'm only one man and it's going to take me a month or two to get them all finished. The more you guys do the more it helps. Thank you for all the ones you've already done! I appreciate it.

I used to have a little button under the Author's notes that said "Protection" back when e-mail addresses were required. I've recently decided that the website it links to is BS and doesn't do shit except generate traffic for ads. So I got rid of it and replaced it with a "Bookmark" tool bar! Now you can Stumble, Digg, De.lic.io.us (?), or e-mail (and many more) the site with ease. Plus if you just wanna bookmark the actual page, just press Ctrl+D. It's that easy.

I'm off to bed now, guys. I got school tomorrow and more CHATTING WITH STACEY (WHO IS ALIVE AND WELL) to do. 

The title of this strip is actually spelled the way UK people would spell trial-ed.

Us Americans don't have a word for trial-ed that rhymes with child, so whatever.

I am dead tired. I got like no sleep last night and now Ican't stop using italics.

I hope you guys had a good day. It might not look like it based off the general tone of this strip, but I did have a good day. More tomorrow. I might be leaving for the weekend. We'll see. If I do I'll try to get some comics whipped up first.

PS. Keep transcribing! Thanks for doing it so far!

PPS. I want to hold a contest. If you want to help, please check out this thread! Thanks guys! 

Hee hee. Another good title.

Uh, if my AIM convos were real I think I'd be gay, because I like flirting with David to freak him out (yet he never gets freaked out and sometimes he retaliates).

...Maybe I shouldn't share that stuff with you guys.

SAME OL' STUFF. KEEP ON TRANSCRIBIN' AN' I'M'A KEEP ON DRARWIN. Lata. 

Back to Grandmother's house we go,
skipping merrily through the snow,
upon reaching it we will see,
how painful grandma's bite can be.

Those false teeth look false enough,
and that hair looks like a raggedy muff,
but when you get that old hag mad,
hell will be had. Hell will be had.

---

Sorry about the absence on my part this weekend guys. I'll try to make it up to you.

In other news, enjoy this 3-page story about life at my grandmother's for 4 days (I skipped school on Monday).

I'm out! More stuff tonight. 

This strip is actually a lie. I got no drawing done the entire time I was there.

---

I got some fan art (?) yesterday (or was it the day before) by my friend Cheeko!

You can check out the fan art here, or here, and click onCheeko's name to see her comic!

Also, CONTEST IDEAS HELP HELP HELP.

PS. Check out the Extra's section if you can, I've got new links in there, an improved gallery layout, and just more good stuff to go around. It's still under construction, but eventually it'll work as well as this index page does. 

You know how long it's been since I've read a Calvin and Hobbes strip?

Unless you count these, far too long.

When people compared yesterday's strip to C&H, I had no idea what they were talking about. Then it kind clicked. With the whole "comparing real life to fantasy" thing.

I must not read C&H enough, though, because I hadn't made the connection until two people pointed it out.

My point? No point. Later.

(CONTEST CONTEST MOLEST THIS CONTEST (those should be heavy metal lyrics)) 

I couldn't think of a good title for this strip. I know now that I've said that someone (like Talekyn) is going to come on over here and pun me to death, but I DON'T CARE.

I'M A REBEL.

Anyway, contest, blah, blah, blah. 

THIS TITLE MAKES NO SENSE HAW HAW HAW HAW I LOVE IT.

Anyway, contest, blah, blah, blah. 

Unless you know ****, you probably won't find the title funny.

Uh, good news, though: no one said anything to me? That's good news right? Or... or is it bad? Oh goodness I hope it's not bad!

---

In other news, made sure to catch the Office episode I missed on Thursday, and I've gotta say I loved it. I haven't been able to feel that uncomfortable in a long time. It made me really glad Jim and Pam were still together.

Also: is it just me, or is Michael getting smarter? I dunno. There's just something there that wasn't there before--I pretty much feel bad for him now.

Plus: 30 Rock was good as well. Lots of character changes going on, I've never pictured Lemon as a go-getter in the means of putting herself first over others. Maybe I just haven't watched it in long enough, but she always seemed to be the sweet one of the group. Or at least the silly one... or the smart one.

Alright! That's it for now. Contest if you can.

ALSO: New thing in the forum, STORE IDEAS :D 

I'm just going to tell all you people out there who don't watch Lost and who don't know this about me, but I've seen every episode of LOST, including all of Season 2, 3, and what has been of 4, and I've gotta tell you that Charley doesn't die in the first season. Even after knowing this, the death scene where Charley almost dies in 1 is still shocking and it still gets me thinking every time, even after knowing he's already going to live.

Also, if you haven't seen this episode, you might not realize how genius this title is.

More stuff tomorrow!

Contest. STORE IDEAS. 

Goodness gracious. I was talking with Horatio today and I had completely forgotten about this story. Good thing he helped me remember!

Meowth, that's right! More news later.

Contest. STORE IDEAS. 

Nothing substantial happened today in my life, so I figured I'd expand on that little scenario John and I were laughing so hard about.

Also, that final line (or the former before the latter), is kinda like a shout-out to Scott who helped John and I to think about Pokemon for the first time in quite a while. Thanks Scott.

More stuff later or when it comes to mind. Sign up in the forums and contribute if you can. I'm sure you'll all be welcomed for being so boisterous.

Alright. I'm out. 

Ah Alliteration, how I adore thee. Amazing and Artsy, Alliteration is my armor in the arduous task of arson.

...wait what? 

This is probably going to be the storyline that ruins everything for me, guys.

I believe my reality has been shattered. More tomorrow.

Also, I've gotten the Xum shirt up in the new store. I'll be updating links to the Store in the near-future, but for now I'm just going to tell you to click here if you're interested. More products to come in the future, I'm sure.

EDIT: Thank you guys for voting and doing transcriptions! It's really helping. 

Notes on the comic:

More has developed in the situation than I had previously though, and it's kinda making my head hurt. I don't want to ruin anything, so I won't give anything away, but I can tell you that I am pretty pissed off at some people for what I have to do.

More tomorrow. For now I need to get some sleep. I just had a rough test. 

At this point my accusation of Ricky was merely speculation. A lot has happened since then, so I can't really tell you what it is that has happened (because it'd ruin it), but you guys probably won't like it.

More tomorrow. Thanks for reading! 

Let me clarify that I wasn't eager to "beat Ricky up," but I really wanted to talk to him. Sure I went home and tried to connect with him through internet means, but to no avail. I doubt he was avoiding me, he was just not on.

This story is nowhere near over, either, guys. This may take a week or two.

Thanks for reading. 

Not much to say about tonight's strip, other than that'sDave, and I decided to "go out" with Izzy to "see" a "movie."

You might think my response was rash, but I thought it a good idea at the time.

Enough for now. 

You guys probably are going "NO NOT IZZY, DATE ME INSTEAD AND MAKE OUT WITH MY SEXY FACE!!"

...or at least the girls are, at least?

Sorry for the late strip, had to study. You guys understand. More tomorrow.

PS. New fan art by Nickatwork. Check it out. 

wat. 

OK. OK, OK, OK, OK. Okay. OK.

OK.

So I know some of you will be all "YES." and some of you will be all "NO." and some of you will be all "Violence is not the answer!" and some of you will be all "HARUMPH." but I apologize. No. I did not apologize to Ricky. I apologize to you, my readers, for me punching Ricky in the face. I know it was a dumb idea. I know that. After everything that Ricky had put me through (Izzy, Jen, Jen, JEN) it just hit me and I couldn't help myself. If I had had anything else to hit, I probably would've... but there was his face, and then it was my fist.

I cannot tell you whether or not there were/have been repercussions since, because that's part of the story, but so far nothing bad has happened (and it's been almost a week). I'm probably clear.

Thank you all for reading/voting/spreading the word about my strip... I really appreciate it and I hope that shows.

PS. Not the end of the storyline yet. More tomorrow 

I've noticed some people have been spreading the word about "Allan," and I'd like to thank you. Every plug, every mention, every link and nudge helps out. If you guys like this strip, I don't mind if you plug it anywhere you like (even if you don't like it, I suppose).

In comic news, you might've seen Ricky post around here lately in the comments section under the author's notes. Don't mind him. I believe they are empty lies designed to get a rise out of me (or empty threats designed for the same thing). He hasn't said a word to me at school and I'm glad. Hopefully I won't have to deal with him for a while.

Thank you all for your input. For your comments both here and in the forums, and everywhere else. Thanks for reading, hope you enjoy the rest of this. 

I am sorry about the lines in this one. My old pen died in the middle of me inking tonight's, so I had to go back over the lines I'd already finished to make it match. Now it looks awfully thick (that's what she said?).

Anyway. Date part: gogogo.

NOTE: I have set up a forum thread for which you can see IMAGES (or post images) of any of the SHIRTS you might've BOUGHT from the STORE (not much to choose from yet). New stores and such coming in the future. Probably not for a while, but in the future, so be on the lookout (in the future). 

What? If a girl I am attracted to leans on my shoulder, I don't think I'll be the first one to stop her.

...don't you judge me. 

Long one today! 

So, this page is extra long. Twice as long. This is a double update! It's the better kind, though, because you don't have to go back a page and read the one before this. I just merged what I could've made 2 into, into 1!

About the strip?:

I'm going to let you all draw your own conclusions on this one. Hope I didn't push the "squirm factor too far". 

Cool stuff: We've got a Facebook group! Like Facebook? Like groups? Like Allan? Then join it! Click here! Spread the word.

Notes on the comic:

I could've gone a few different directions with today's strip, but I decided to clue you guys in on Jen first. Hope that is alright.

More tomorrow! Thanks for reading! 

OK, first off, this story will be over by page 300, guaranteed. It might end on 299, it might end on 300. We'll see how it goes. You will find resolution within the next 8 pages.

Also, if you're sick of the drama, that'll end within 4 pages. Hope that's alright.

2 more things.

1: We've got a Facebook Group, so you can join that and invite all your friends if'n you wanna!

2: I'd like to just say hey to any new readers, and thank you all for stopping by! Thanks guys!

Alright! More tomorrow. 

Tomorrow's update is twice as long as these next few, because I thought it'd flow well and I didn't want you guys to have to wait too long for me to get out of the drama and back onto the wit.

That means this story will end on page 299! Hope you guys are ready!

Also, if you want to spread the word about Allan, I'll be working on making some links for your linking pleasure so you can spread the word easier! Expect those done by later today (I'll edit the author's notes and tell you guys when I'm done.).

Thanks for reading! 

It's not really that special, but technically this is a double update. If you can guess where the page is supposed to split into the second one you get bonus points.

Remember yesterday how I said I'd get some links up and running for you guys? Haven't quite finished it. Here'sone, if you're interested (it's the long kind), and I'll get some of the smaller ones ASAP!

I'm going to be seeing Iron Man today, so I'll be sure to tell you all how that goes. 

Yay, we're out of the drama. Man, am I glad we're out of the drama. I really flexed my drama muscles with this storyline and I think it turned out well. Now, this day is approximately Monday, 3 weeks ago, so Rob had probably only read up to about here.

Anywho, back to the wit/whatever you want to call it. 3 strips left to this storyline!

PS. I saw Iron Man. I liked it. I also saw Across the Universe. I also liked that. I had a good Sunday. 

I am very pleased visually with tonight's page. I wasn't very pleased with yesterday's, but today's makes me pretty happy.

Also, I've been playing with new styles, and unless I've already heard from you, I could use your input! Here's the forum.

2 days 'till the story is over! How's it gunna end? I'm so excited.

3 days 'till the big 3-0-0! Looking forward to that, too.

More later guys!

PS. Drew. I beat you to it. 

Hey Ricky, are you reading this? Is that bruise healed yet?

Guys, the story only has 1 more page left. Then I'm going to try out a new thing for a few pages. 10-20 pages, starting on page 300. I'll follow up with more details when I have them.

More later! 

The end of that story!

Now we can resume normal stuff!

...or can we? 

So guys, 300th page and the new test-run style.

How do you like it?

My decision relies on your feedback!

More later!

PS. For those who don't know about the Blue Squire, here's some examples.
