Description
I'm going to start by going on record and saying that using a HP All-In-One to scan your penciled in line art bites the big one. I'm going to need to buy a flatbed dirt cheap. So bear with me.But in many other ways, I'm happy to report that I'm getting back on the strip with this strip, with the utterly shoddy scan. Once I get a better scanner (Hopefully by next Thursday with the next paycheck, since nobody pays me for a commission or donates for my site) the quality of the strips will improve.
Okay, I'll stop griping now.
Otherwise than this, I'm glad to be back (Flagged Mature because two people are getting out of their clothes. It might be non-erotic in theme and part of it is off-panel, but with the Admins here, you can't be too careful.)

Pippkin seems to have the situation fully in his control!

This is some of your better work, sorry the scanner did a poor job. I recommend a Cannon PIXMA MG2120, it's what I use for all my art now and it's affordable. The only one I have used that his better is a high quality epson. I have grown to hate HP!

In the last panel with the way she's standing it looks as if SHE'S got rabbit ears as well

I wondered for while, how come you say they are taking off their clothes, then I realized one of them is taking off his pants.
--For extra fun, I thought the disclaimer thing read:
Flagged Mature because two people are getting OFF ON their clothes.

Yeah, Pippkie's doing the "Your so hot and your clothes are so itchy, you can't get them off fast enough, you just want to jump out of your clothes" bit.
He might dress them up in the next step. Any suggestions? I know Pippkin mentioned Mimes, but his mind can be changed.
Note: Penn's there for a reason. I've noticed one of my viewers wanting Pippkin to be not-so-bad. I intend him to be a noir-ish hero.

Yeah I second the commentary about commissioning artwork... I'd have done so from you a LONG time ago if I wasn't always so god-damned broke after bills and expenses...
I've always dug your work... and get a really good chuckle how some people go out of their way to insult it when it's pretty obvious they too appreciate it on some level.

It's the "going out of their way" part that makes me chuckle. Oh sweet Jesus, Mary, and Jo Jo the Carpenter, if something I made makes you want to slice your wrist while typing your flame with the hand connected to that wrist you are cutting, why in God's Holy name are you calling it up on your browser? That's what I think of when I hear those kinds of insults ^-^

Exactly.
Awhile back while browsing around I came across an entire THREAD on some forums devoted to your artwork... and in particular your Scarlet PI stuff. The thread was titled something like: "Gonterporn... worst artist + art in the history of the universe?" ... or something similarly acerbic.
Your whole original comic (from years ago...) was posted in the thread... and there was pages and pages of people (openly) insulting the work and the theme of the work... and yet... I found myself asking: If it's SO bad, why bother commenting and going out of their way (like they so obviously did)... to say it is so month after month? Doesn't it seem odd?
I have absolutely no doubt that those people in that thread, (and the people who obviously stalk you here *grins*)... all appreciate something about your work and your stories, REGARDLESS of whether they'd ever openly admit to such feelings. It's an interesting thing to think about, but usually people who're the first to repeatedly lash out at something are doing so because they feel some sort of connection to whatever they claim to hate... and that connection scares them.
A great analogy is the Ranma 1/2 fans out there claiming they love the anime/manga because it's funny and/or it's sugary sweet... while those things are undoutedly true I'm sure there's a percentage of them who ALSO just like the idea of a guy turning into a cute-buxomly girl... that perhaps they can live vicariously through the character in some way while they're watching/reading.
Anywho... don't ever sweat all the (closet-)haters out there. You've got fans of your work and your ideas. Maybe even someday we'll commission stuff off you... hehe.

Oh and woops... forgot to add Scarlet looks hot in that first panel.

You like seeing Scarlet Hypnotized? Maybe I should make more of that scene. Although it might have to be outside of DA for some parts
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Not in particular the "hypnotize" stuff... just meant the angle was "eye-candy" hehe.
Personally I'd *love* some sort of story where a villain sets out to remove Scarlet (by hook or by crook) from Jim for their own benefit... either a guy or some sort of richy-bitchy girl...
"You don't deserve Scarlet... she's mine!" or "I've wanted that suit since I first saw it... and I mean to have it!"
You could also do some sort of :Swimsuit: or :Lingerie: sort of image(s) ... and the guy inside marveling at his curves; in the present storyline you touched upon the ideal, but never really expanded upon it.
Ahh well, hehe.

That's something I wanted to play with on occasions. I was hoping I'd make a series of prints that are sellable or even a calender.
