Chapter: Comic

Sorry about the walls of text in this post, I needed to get a lot of information across, but I hope it still ends up being funny (please don’t kill me!)

OH! I did a guest strip over here

UPDATE: Got Motokool up today as well

  for the being horridly poor part, or the sitting on a towel in school part?
AverageZombie

That was hardly a wall of text, and if it coincides into the flow of the comic, I’m more than ok with it. Backstorybackstorybackstory.

  Thanks Average Whenever I think of comics that have a good handle on the “less is more” lettering, I keep thinking of Sinfest and Girls with Slingshots
Mateo

I read all of your comics and I have to say that the style along with your way of story telling really makes me wish that I could just buy a giant graphic novel that tells this story. I mean, it’s nice getting to read a new page everyday, but I really hope that one day you can write a comic book or something with this great style of art, witty humor, and great transition from serious to funny.

Seriously, huge fan here. Love everything.

  Thanks Mateo, that really means a lot, I mean A LOT to hear, so thank you very much for the kind words, and I hope that I can only get better for everyone who comes here to read my comics
  - kyliebear
    
    I, too, would happily buy this in graphic novel form
    I only found these a few days ago, and stayed up all night reading ALL of them

And somehow he still grows up to be awesome.

  hardly peeing sporadically in his adulthood, good job Chase
  - glueberrypie
    
    Agreed, it’s quite the accomplishment.
Brehavoc

I feel bad for Chase, but he is still pretty awesome when he grows up. I wish he was real <3 haha

You write amazing comics! I am a HUGE fan of Nerf-This and Scout! I've turned my friends to it and they love it as well.

aaaaand for us girls who love cute yet mildly scary things…you should look into making monty shirts…or even better…monty plushies
- Crazy Pyro
  
  Y’know, it may just be something about this comic, but hell, I’m a guy and I’D buy a Monty plushie.
- http://nerfthiscomic.com sc0tticus
  
  Thanks Brehavoc! I’m really happy you like my comics, that’s awesome to hear, and thank you for letting your friends know too!
  
  The good news is that I do have an almost completed prototype of a Monty doll (finally haha). Once that get’s done, I’ll be able to show some pictures
  - AristolochiaGialla
    
    Oh my gosh, a Monty doll?! That’s so exciting! I can only hope he comes with dapper accessories!
  - Aly
    
    I was so upset about Chase, then I saw Monty doll. Now I’m tingling in new fuzzy places. <3
Giantrobotbil

Why must I start reading the comic during the most intense storyline! Now I have to wait!

Oh, I can already tell Chase had a wonderful childhood.
Vaelius

Wow. I grew up like that (with my wonderful mum divorced from my.. uh.. dad. No, he’s great… rly…) and this strip really got me — serious and humorous at the same time.

Hehe, this strip might be your masterpiece considering all the kudos you’re getting so far. Keep up the awesome work, as always!

Rock Chalk Jayhawk!
oblivionjones

Chase’s mom is pretty AND pretty badass
- oblivionjones
  
  Has it ever come up if Chase has any siblings? Apparently the parents are divorced, but besides that, I’d imagine he started showing signs of his “specialness” early and they decided to stop with one kid…
  Before this I’d always assumed Chase was the bastard child of a wayward carebear and some sort of sneaky unextinctable dinosaur.
  - fluffy_sasquatch
    
    I pictured the drunken threesome bastard child of Rainbow bright, Willy Wonka, and the Thundercats Liono..because Lions are cool dammit.
fluffy_sasquatch

By Barnaby Jones withered husk. Chase and I seem to have had a similar childhood. No wonder why this comic is one of my must reads. You sir have a talent for turning the truly awkward into something brilliant.
Bangorang

Thanks for the great comics, my entire shop is addicted to nerf and scout!
Lindsay

Cutest little boy ever! I see a lot of little me in Chase… in a non-creepy way! Also weeee! Monty doll!
Lindsay

Also Chase’s mom is awesome!
nick

i read another webcomic and they’re being made into a movie
you should totally try to do that. It would work, in my opinion.
Fish

Head down, hands in pockets and sad face… Poor Chase I never would’ve thought I would see him so down
404found

so the mother of Chase is revealed!
That and if your gonna show Chase in girls clothing make it good and hilariously embarrassing. xD
silliness aside great job with the comic so far :3

  and as a added side note, the smily system here is weird :<

    WordPress is wonky like that
Shamelessbookworm

Yeah, I’m reading it and mainly feeling bad for the poor kid. But it totally explains his attitude as a grownup.
Lovely

now i am a bit confused.
i thought Chase never had a longterm mother,

Is that a Kansas University shirt that his mom is wearing?
- http://nerfthiscomic.com sc0tticus
  
  It’s a Kutztown University shirt from PA, which is one of the schools I attended
  - Marcus
    
    I go there now! ahahaa!
Malthus

I thought that was Kutztown! I went to Bloom.
Red

Yeah, I saw that and thought it was Kutztown. I looked there for college. But I decided against it eventually, Im going to IPFW in Indiana. Thats cool, I didnt know you went there.
Karenn

Wow, a surprisingly deepressing origin story to our beloved Chase. Isn’t it strange how random humour and dark twists make the best stories?
Magic bean Salsman

Wait a moment in one of the earlier strips chase was seen as chauvanistic because his dad was bringing home other Mom and thats how he learned to treat women was there a joint custody deal going on and the chase from this time is much more sensitive and nice than that original character.
