Description
So, I decided to do a comic with the answers to a few questions, since some of the answers were pretty short ones. Sorry to "water-pokemon-master" if yours sounds a little sarcastic but I had to get a joke in somewhere.Anyway
Notes
Roy's World:
Roy lives in a world where dragons and humans live together in a mixed species society, so seeing a dragon around town is actually quite common, so he's unlikely to get captured by human scientists or anything like that, and he's too old, strong and fire-breathing for anyone to try kidnapping him.
I've also updated the layout and title for the comics and added the club's web address at the bottom, which I've applied to all the older comics too and I shall be using this layout for all further comics from here on out.
You can Ask Roy a question here: [link]

Like, as in unclean?
Actually, for the most part I enjoyed lessons. I was a bit of a boffin in middle school, as a matter of fact, in the top sets for everything. Even maths, yes. Didn't do so well in college (equivalent last two years highschool) because I chose the wrong subjects to do I guess, so I ended up not being able to do any of the sciences at University and fell back on my art and design.

Nah...I just don't like it. P: but it is pretty unclean too.
ahhh poo. :c well at least you're talented at art.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah well, some do some don't. Try and make the best of it while it lasts, before you have to pay taxes and work for a living.
I wonder what I would have done as my degree for science sometimes though. I think botany probably, living where I do that'd probably be a good subject to take, and more interesting than just chemistry bit not as gory as human biology. I'm kind of past that now though.
But yeah, who knows, maybe I'll get rich selling Roy merchandise

dude i am absolutely terrified of the future. o_o; but thanks.
you know, almost everyone i know likes science the most, but i could never get into it. 
he could have his own Saturday morning cartoon show!

It's okay, if the Mayans and Nostradamus were right we don't have a future anyway
Just kidding.
I like the interesting bits of science, like making nylon from two thimbles of chemicals and getting this long thread -- just like Spider-Man's web fluid! and blowing magnesium over a flame and it goes "woof!" up in smoke, and making oxygen by breaking down hydrogen peroxide, and making your own universal acid/alkali indicator from crushed flowers, and learning about how mutations work and how one species can evolve into different species over time through isolation and natural selection, learning about how the planets formed by accretion, much like how balls of dust form under your desk if you don't clean under it (it's much the same process until gravity starts acting when they get big enough), and how the base elements of life are all made in the nuclear furnaces of stars and released when stars explode in enormous supernovae! And did you know that iron is the heaviest element that can be made in a star before it explodes? All the heavier elements like gold and uranium are made during the explosion itself, which is why they're so rare compared to the lighter elements, and the density of the elemental substance is controlled mainly the the mass of each of its atoms whereas the density of compounds is controlled by their structure as well, and how electricity is generated and how that can then be used to turn a motor, and how we use sugar to make energy but we don't use that directly because it's too much, we use it to make a smaller chemical that we then use for minute little cellular reactions, and the process of photosynthesis is actually several processes when you break it down...
Yeah, I find all that stuff really interesting. I still subscribe to New Scientist, there was an article in there last week about how language is not only fundamental for communication but helps you think by allowing the mind to identify and categorise objects and concepts that it experiences and to make abstract concepts more real essentially by giving them names. Fascinating stuff.
Buy yeah, most of the time you just need the right teachers.

yay death! 8D
ahh, well it's always nice when you can be so passionate about something. c: and teachers are most likely the problem for me, since i only had one good science teacher so far.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
DID SOMEONE CALL?
I considered being a science teacher once, but children scare me, especially in large groups.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
HAY BBY HOW U BEEN
i would never ever ever be a teacher. o_o i hate children so much and i would never be able to put up with all of their crap and argh.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You know, I'm not quite sure what Death is meant to be doing in that icon. I think he's holding a golf club and wearing a red raincoat...
Anyway
Yeah, kids are horrible, especially teenagers 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
he's off-duty i guess.
yes they are. x.x i think really young kids are the ones i hate the most though. i just can't relate to them and talk down to their level.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I know what you mean about the really young kids. I have trouble talking to my nephews sometimes because of that. It's especially difficult since I can't actually remember much from that part of my life, so have nothing to think "well, when I was that age" to help me bridge the gap.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah...D: i don't know why so many people like kids so much, they're a pain. and very loud and sticky.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, it's actually kind of bizarre that we don't like kids from a biological point of view: how are we ever going to have offspring if we can't cope with children? In my case I'm generally socially retarded though (really, I am, I've literally never had a girlfriend and I have very few "real life" friends), so I'd make a terrible father, and a fairly bad boyfriend or husband, so I've pretty much come to terms with being a "confirmed bachelor" for the rest of my life and never having children. But when you look at people who are good with kids playing with them -- the kids love them, they're all having fun, it works and it just looks natural, and I like seeing that, in the same way I like seeing couples happy together, but at the same time I know it's not for me. I think if I'd had a better childhood maybe I'd be more at ease with children now, and when I think about it, if I do get engaged with what my nephews are doing and try and join in, it starts to settle in a bit and I find myself playing with trains or cars or whatever they're doing...
But seeing a whole room full of kids just brings back bad memories for me. Man, did I ever get beaten up a lot in school.

Ouch, I'm sorry...

Yeah but you move on, you get on with other things. Like comics! Comics are good.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
comics are very good! c: though i don't read a lot of them outside of webcomics
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I meant making comics but yeah, reading them's good too. I used to buy comics... but they all got a bit samey so not I just read webcomics too. They're cheaper and often more entertaining.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I could never really get into reading actual comics. xD; it's just so hard to find a place to start reading, you know? you can't just pick up a comic and get right into it and understand everything.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I know what you mean there, I've jumped into comics at times and thought "what the hell's going on here?" XD
Collected editions are handy though -- where several comics have been published together as one book that can be bought like a book, as then you can look for the "origins" collected ed, and then any main storyline is collected together as one book so you don't go in in the middle of a big epic story and think "what's going on?"
And the advantage of web comics is the ability to skip back to the beginning too
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ooh. i must be really unlucky then, because i haven't seen any of those before. xD;
yep! and you can ask the creators themselves any questions you may have about it c:
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You can usually find collected eds at the back of bookshops in the "manga and graphic novel" section, or in really big comicbook stores that sell everything down to the rope-play board games.
That's another advantage to web-comics. You don't always get an answer though.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ooh, okay! thanks! C:
yeah. P: and usually there are other people that comment on it and can help you out. instead of real comics, where you'd have to....interact with someone in order to ask them. and who wants that?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, my life kind of needs more human interaction, I'm starting to lose social skills.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's okay, I started a course at the university, I seem to have gotten chatty with one or two people so far.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ohh, wonderful!!

Well, it's only been one day so far so I'd say just small talk, but this one guy, Abrar, seems to share some common interests in therms of artistic tendencies.

hhehehe! I guess that pokemon hunter at the background is going to have a biiiiiiiig diappointment...
Nice answers and good work on expressions. Roy just becomes cooler and cooler with every new comic!
...and I also love the idea that the dragons and people live peacefully in Roy's world... 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, this is one dragon Red ain't adding to his team
Which raises the question: are there dragon-type pokemon in the version of the game in Roy's world? Although there ARE some human-type pokemon like Jynx, Mr. Mime, Machoke, Gardevoir and Gallade, so I suppose there could still be dragon-types too... but Would there be the option to play as a dragon pokemon catcher? That'd be interesting.
Well, they live together, but maybe not totally peacefully, as there's still dragons that see humans as small and feeble and humans who see dragons as beasts, just like there are people who think "white" people are better than "black" people in our world, even after all these years, but for the most part they try to get along

haha, pokemon...
Hey... Face-desk isn't Roy... Face-desk is green! That must be Trev!
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Also, a number of my dragons are green. Duncan's green.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Face desk is actually meant to be ME-as-a-dragon.
You can't just assume it's Trev because it's green. Racist.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
... I though you would be a Purple dragon.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nah, I'm green and proud. Green and purple go quite well together though. Ever notice how the Hulk always wears purple trousers?

Oh. I'm doing well, thankyou. How are you?
