Hey Readers!,
Lets all thank Jim’s poe-dunk internet provider for sucking something fierce. Beyond that, new modem for him, and new strip for you.. Who is that in the background? Looks like a Garfield stuck to a window.. yeah that’s it… Here we have Jim and Allen both respectively 12, Curt at 10 and Josie at 8. Ahh that’s what siblings are for I tell ya. With all luck we will be updating at our normally scheduled time next week, and I shall see there and in the comment section below!

Do it yourself moving company: “We wont lift a finger”. only 99 dollars. yep, sounds legit.
damn…yet another company idea of mine down the drain…
Mystery spotted folks in a mysterious moving van! Mysterious! I wonder who they are, too! 😮
Hand me the Manila envelope!…………..And the answer is ……..
@Henry K9
You know, I was going to make that joke. Then I decided not to.
I know I said this last strip, but I have to say it again, play this while reading the comic: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3QGWok99YWM
also, big thumbs up for kid Sari moving in and Jo’s face in the last panel
Bet it was the seat vibrating because of the speed along a rough road that young Jo found to be awesome….heh heh! I kid the speedy experience of rocket bike was amazing…
@UniPrae,
This.
Now that was one of the coolest comics I’ve read in a while. *Gives you two thumbs up*
Lol that was just great. I was sitting in anticipation for this one thinking she was gonna end up face planting into a tree or something. I honestly didn’t expect to see young sari and Manila in there. You caught me off guard.
Hey Jim I’ve been meaning to ask you this, but how is it you come with the ideas for CNC? Do you have like a schedule planner that you think of before each skit, or chapter? Surely you don’t just come up with something completely off the top of your head for the next scene?
@fuzzyfennec, See this is a hard part about both of us being named Jim, but Hardiman really doesn’t do any script work, as for writeing the gag.. I usually have the script hammered out about a month in advance if not more so with some storylines, like the continuation of Bella and Alexia’s speed dating that Miss Mab is writing up, this chapter was a lot of brainstorming and a LOT of old notes about stuff we wanted to do, (LOTS YOU HAVEN’T SEEN YET IN THIS CHAPTER) and a couple of silly things here and there, Hardiman is infact the master of the background detail of silly.. so keep a sharp eye as always. ~Cheetah
I hate to bug you about your drawing style, but I only had another quick question.. I’m starting to practice the furry genre myself, but whenever I do frontal views, I don’t put hands or feet because I’m not skilled enough for that yet, but I’m not sure not whether to put that bridge between the eyes and the end of the muzzle. Does it make that big of a difference if you do or don’t? And when I do become apt to draw the hands/ feet, is it better to make 4 or 5 toes/ fingers or paws, in this case.
Alright I’m. Sorry if I’m bugging people with the multiple posts. I’ll be quiet until next week now 😀
@fuzzyfennec,
What do you mean by “the bridge between the eyes and the end of the muzzle”? Do you mean the slope of the snout as it protrudes from the face? Or do you mean the brow ridge between the eyes?
As for hands and feet, the design of anthropomorphic extremities is only limited by your imagination (though an understanding of actual hand and foot construction is required). I tend to use 4-digit hands and feet due to the symmetry of the design. I also tend to shape the anthro hands as a mix between paw and human hand. Reptiles, naturally, have a slightly different structure to their hands and feet.
@Skunkworks, From some angles, when you see the character, right between the lower portion of the eye, and at the end of the nose is the line, or this case, the bridge. For example, if you look at panel 2, you can see everyone straight forward and there is that line inbetween their eyes. That is what I classify as the bridge, since they’re not human. Do you always have to put the bridge with furries? Or as the way you put it, the slope of the snout.
Also, thanks for the hands and feet tip. I’m still working on that.
Ahahahah well done, well done.
hehe I likes the moving truck Gives me a Idea for my HO scale trains
Also I like her reaction after going fast 😉
What I find odd is that I was listening to NPR’s Wait Wait, and it somehow reminded me of this…
Wow, I loved this one. Fun seeing Manilla and Sarina moving in.
Wow, what a first impression Jo must have made on little Sarina! “Mommy! She’s the cool girl with the rocket powered bike!”
This got me reminiscing about some childhood memories of my own. Only we towed the bike behind a ’86 Honda Big- Red off a ramp and into a lake. Ah, memories.
@Strype, It’s still in that lake, isn’t it? 😀
Funny enough, it’s in the ocean.
Nobody can complain. Jo wore her helmet!
And little Sarina was just too cute!
i never knew jo was such a wild kitten
i can’t believed that worked
I’m pretty sure that 4 model rockets, even of that size, could propel the bike that fast. 😛
Curt was always a tinkerer, he likely brewed up some crazy fuel between the stuff he had access to with Fred’s medical practice, and the stuff you could still get in the 90’s , no doubt a crazy liquid rocket could have been fiddled together but our little evil Genius
Did she enjoy the ride in more ways than one? Huh, huh? LOL
This is a strong possibility LOL!
Why am I not surprised that Jo enjoyed that little joyride? LOL.
