So this is different, a post? On Thursday?? Scott, what’s going on?!? Well, shortly before 2010 I said that I will be making the jump to a 5 days a week daily strip (now granted I’m going to try my hardest for this). There is much more discussed in the blog below on this subject, an official statement from your friendly sub-par artist

Ooh, happy mustache is CREEPY. I love it lol

haha, the more curly one’s mustache is, it shows how brave one’s manhood truly is (by standards of mustachology anyway)

ha. Mustachology.

’tis a funny thing, to go back through the strips and see how your drawing style has changed slightly from some strips to another, and suddenly it’s a HUGE jump. Tho I miss the ‘childish’ drawings that humoured me, the more ‘professional’ look is good, too. The colouring is just <3

If only other web-comic artists had an equally good cocooning, but alas.
One thing I've noticed is that a lot of web-comic artists are called Scott…

http://nerfthiscomic.com sc0tticus

heh, around August/September I wasn’t really happy with Nerf This (at least the way it was drawn). So i tried a lot of different methods until I settled on this, to which I really like drawing it now, and I want to really improve my writing too.

And to have the name “Scott” in webcomics is almost a curse haha, Scott Mcloud, Scott Dewitt, Scott Kurtz, and the list goes on (obviously I’m nowhere near the status of those guys though)

MsCapricorn

Oh, funny you mentioned Mr. DeWitt, I thought no one knew of Fanboys A shame his comic is sort of on a hiatus.

And when it comes to writing, if you have an idea on how you want your characters to develop and progress in ‘life’, you should make a novella/short story for your eyes only, as a script of sorts.
But don’t forget, I think more people than myself love random strips

http://nerfthiscomic.com sc0tticus

I will be doing random strips inbetween stories (the municorn was an example of this), I would love to have more characters too, I love drawing new people making their way into the lives of Monty & Chase haha

And it is a shame about Fanboys, I did like that comic, he had a unique style of humor too, I like the Johnny Turbo skit as an example haha, hope he comes back soon

MsCapricorn

Heh, yeah. Apparently the man is busy with comissions, at least according to his deviant art page.

On a different note – make more Pokémon skits. Pika-Monty was so damned cute.
http://nerfthiscomic.com sc0tticus

hahaha, i love incorporating pokemon humor, always makes me laugh, especially Monty’s hidden lust for Psyduck

I think I’m going to use that as an insult to my guy friends when they tick me off. “Yeah well you know what? You look like a nicely dressed sex offender!”

http://nerfthiscomic.com sc0tticus

adding “nicely dressed” to that insult will make the accused sex offender feel a little better about himself

Whalesinger

Yeah..update on a thursday…and I love the last panel:P

http://nerfthiscomic.com sc0tticus

and not just on Thursday mind you but even tuesdays too!

Ya know, angry moustache and happy moustache are both equally adorable. Bt if Chase wanted to look cool, he would be riding around on a Municorn with a moustahce…

http://nerfthiscomic.com sc0tticus

Haha, you are right, I should do a wallpaper with him riding the Municorn, with a gloriously epic outfit on, and something like a staff with ferrets and chainsaws on the end

how the heck do i use it?

ohhhh nm

Prolly not the right place for this, but I can’t find a forum – I can’t access your site from a bookmark since the site redesign. I hafta run a Google search, click on projectwonderful.com (to advertise on “Nerf This”) click on the thumbnail of the day’s comic, and then alt-< before I can actually see the website.
I don't mind jumpin' thru hoops if that's what it takes, jus' thought you sould know is all…

http://nerfthiscomic.com sc0tticus

That is really odd, I wasn’t aware of this, I’ll bring it up to Joenis (who linked this up for me) and see what he thinks of it. Sorry you have to go through that mess just to view Nerf This though, I’ll get to fixing it as soon as possible.

Thank you for letting me know too, I really appreciate it

CWR

I think it’s all better now! Thanks for fixing that.

Was i on crack last night or did you change what the chick says in the last panel? I could of sworn it said something about the monopoly dude and megans list, but it no longer does. Maybe i should start going to bed earlier, my eyes might be playing tricks on me in revenge for late nights

http://nerfthiscomic.com sc0tticus

that is a perk of reading Nerf This, its when I post, then I immediately second guess what I wrote, then I go back and change it as quickly as possible… so your eyes were not playing tricks on you, more or less its just me being a bit wonky

AlienFreak

Good, its nice to know that im not actually crazy.

oblivionjones

IT’s kinda like when the beatles thought it was a good idea to put out an album cover in the mid 60s with them covered in raw meat and doll parts. Then after selling it for a day, they pasted a new cover over all of them. Doesn’t it make you feel like an insider when you get to see the raw meat nerf this?

Rusty

seems like this has happened more than once too. in the panel that Hunter was introduced, what Taryn says changes, and Hunter later aquires the fantastic slogan ‘I love Moms’. Checking this site more than once a day seems to have it benefits, getting multiple jokes, but are these spontaneous changes going to continue?

http://nerfthiscomic.com sc0tticus

A very keen eye, you are correct, I did redo that one as well (I knew I wanted to put something on his shirt, I plainly and dumbly forgot that time).
To answer your question, it will happen less frequently, I just want to provide the funniest thing to say at the end of a strip, and when a comic posts, its not uncommon where I will say “damn, I shouldn’t have posted yet, I just thought of something that would work better!”
Honestly, it may happen once in every 10 strips or so, but its getting less frequent. I hope nobody will get frustrated over it (this is the first time I may be addressing it as well)

AlienFreak

i wouldn’t worry to much about it. i think its kind of a treat for those of us who obsessively check your website for new comics. its like “congrats, you have no life, so heres a little something fun to make you feel better about yourself. now you can be a snob to other people who read the comic, but dont check it every hour like you do.” i like it

Benjamin the Rogue

Truly, the best kind of sex offender.

Holy fiddlesticks. Re-reading this, I totally forgot this was my favorite page of all time. I wish it were possible for people with estrogen to grow a mustache. And to make it move like that. It looks like an angry woodland creature.
