    Slightly worried Kremit and the one with his tongue out are my favorites.

    The smiley baby frog in the bottom right brings me joy and happiness.

    Hoppy Wednesday, everyone!

    Voting is live:

    Remember, they will be doing Wheel Saint even if it gets 0 votes. Don't throw away your vote by voting for it.

    You need a twitter account to vote?!?

    Why?

    Do they know they have a website?

    Because they don't want to build poll functionally on their website that currently doesn't support, and people who read the comic are more likely to have a Twitter account than club PA or forum account.

    Google Forms literally couldn’t be easier. Fuck Twitter.

    While I understand that, there are a million other ways to do that that don't involve giving business to a petulant man-child screwing his former employees (and they will all eventually be former employees) out of pay he owes them while simultaneously amplifying the voice of neo-nazis and white supremacists intent on taking over the country.

    This seems like an easy call.

    Ugh yeah, I'm pretty disappointed they decided to put it on Twitter. It's not like they aren't aware of what's wrong with it. I guess I'm not voting, but Wheel Saint was my favorite anyway.

  • MercadeMercade Registered User regular
    I would have been in the minority vote for Sorcelator. Not sure I fully get Wheel Saint, but I’d read it nonetheless.

    I think this is a positive direction for the comic to go in.

    Wait what's going on as a result of this vote?

    (PSN: Morninglord) (Steam: Morninglord) (WiiU: Morninglord22) I like to record and toss up a lot of random gaming videos here.

    There's poll functionality on Patreon - they could have used it to shill for Club PA

    Wait what's going on as a result of this vote?

    One of the 3 pitches (Sorcelator, Wheel Saint or President Gorilla) will be developed into a full storyline.

    More likely, which one will be further developed first. They tend to do all of them, this just determines the order.

    Nobody remembers the singer. The song remains.
  • LttlefootLttlefoot Registered User regular
    Yeah there was something similar with the robot detective series, I remember they needed to do a second vote as tiebreaker

    Also, why wasn't Frogs an option?

  • ThawmusThawmus +Jackface Registered User regular
    Fuck if they just did an intentionally stupid Frogs comic I would have voted for that shit.

    I know, I know, sorcelator is right there, but it hurts me too goddamn much.

    They could put it on twitter, too. Oh no, someone might vote twice. Someone who pays PA a monthly fee. What a travesty.

    Inb4 someone pays Musk for three hundred blue checks so they can force PA to make exclusively Twisp & Catsby comics.

    I mean https://strawpoll.com/create/ is right there. Then everyone can vote.

    Ok...thoses are some funny frogs. I would'nt mind a strip using frogs as characters.
    also [insert a witty hypnotoad reference here]

    I never had twitter so, i won't vote.
    I'm fine with either Weel Saint or Sorcelator anyway.

    Hey, I like Twisp and Catsby. Don't associate them with Elon Musk.

    You know what? Nanowrimo's cancelled on account of the world is stupid.

    I would've been right there with you. Trashed my Twitter account years ago.
