I’m not dead.  only deadish-ish

I’m not dead. only deadish-ish by Tolka

allright, your probubly wondering where the heck I have been.   and rightly so I figure.   well to put it simply it was a combination of two things.   first, life being life and my attention being dragged off to other things.   the second thing is just…

well it’s been summer,  and more then that beastly warm for a summer around here.   heat has a way of just leaching my mental energy big time.    so what time I had that wasn’t consumed by “life”   was just full of the blah’s and general lack of will to pick up a tablet and doodle.

now, let me guess what else your now thinking.    hey Tolka, that thing you just uploaded isn’t a comic.  what is it?    well, I answer.  I simply want to do something wacky and not steeped in existing plot.  I have also been wanting to try out a different comic format.   rather then a full comic page, this short run filler-ish thing will only consist of 4 panels or the equivalent in space,  per day.  it will also use simple flat color and simplified character designs (which I will be playing around with)

here are the basic rules for this filler.    I will break the 4th wall,   a lot.   it takes place in the spiderwebs setting.   it will feature some of the characters from spiderwebs.   and it may or may not be cannon to the universe.

they are suposed to be dranw and uploaded quickly. and they will be uploaded as they are finished.    if you don’t find them entertaining…..     well I figure this is better then continued nothing for the near future. <.<

    I honestly think people who use the word lazy as an insult don’t know what lazy means. I know you’ve been up to something of greater importance to yourself than to others. which is great. because if it gets to a point where it’s the other way around you become a slave. and that’s just no darn good for anyone.

    aww sorry to bust your posting streak then.

    you can always just go to whichever page you were doing that on in the archives and keep right on posting if you really want to. not that it would be the same thing or anything.

    soulforged says:

    yeah, the moment is lost. not sure whos to blame, you for returning, or us for letting the posting slow to a crawl/stop the last few days.

    im gonna blame us.

    what soulforged said, and to quote Sally Field, “you care, you really care”, and the classic “it lives, It lives”, and now to reach comment 53.

    Wait, is this a side-story to a side-story? *mind boggles*

    tolka says:

    yes. thats only slightly less weird as the flashback within a flashback. :P

    Alfred says:

    the ” it lives” refers to the web site. Question who got the bacon? the pirates or the ninjas?

    Good to hear friom you.

    I have more appreciation for this sort of thing these days. I had a long hiatus on a story and tried posting something to just tide the readers over.

    Hope it works better for you.

    Nice style by the way, it fits the light hearted dialogue well.

    WOO! UPDATE! WOO!

    but yeah, something is better than nothing! plus, this should be fun!

    tolka says:

    not sure when I will be resuming u streams. but sooner or latter.

    as for the avatar… well it pulls avatars from some online source that links it to your email, or something. most comic press sites use the same system so if you set one up on one it may have carried over?

    AJ says:

    …lets go with that. makes the most sense…

    glad to hear from you… so this is going to be a filler,…

    The One Guy says:

    Awesome, you’re updating again! Even if it is a side story sort of thing.

    Also:
    nothingsp: “Wait, is this a side-story to a side-story? *mind boggles*”
    tolka: “yes. thats only slightly less weird as the flashback within a flashback. :P
    And neither of those come close to being as weird as a meta-story of a meta-story.

    Fillers are fun and all, but any idea when the comic will be returning/updating?

    joural says:

    I was just worried about tolka being dead, but now shes back and can get back to saving lives as batman, superman, and the doctor all at once!
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    (I just summed up half the conversation from while you were away, tolka)

    D says:

    you forgot as a girl too
    (that was a weird conversation)

    joural says:

    “but now >>SHE<< 's back and can get back to saving lives as batman, superman, and the doctor all at once!"

    I missed nothing! NOTHING!(not a joke, that IS what I wrote)

    AWAJ says:

    wait a second… if Tolka’s a girl, he/she/it can’t be batman, superman, or the doctor [which I don't think it actually made it in the posts on the other thing...] as they are all guys and one of them has money (which we all know Tolka is in need of [just as much as I do probably, if not more...]…) (and that’s something you can’t alter reality for…) {I also seem to love the use of brackets tonight…}

    tolka says:

    I’ll have the next part of this up in a bit. and I plan to have several this week if nothing gets in the way.

    normal comics will resume after I finish up what is keeping me occupied – after the filler arc (it won’t be to long, you can judge how close it is to ending by how often it’s updating, more updates = more time for comics for me = closer to normal comics again)

    and I’m a girl batman, doctor, superman? what the heck did I miss while I was gone.

    rockstarajw says:

    lots.

    busy/busier says:

    I am so happy that Tolka is alive and back. Of course she is allow to take as many breaks as she wishes for whatever personal reasons she wants, like getting sex change surgery, breaking up with her boyfriend, etc.

    But I wish that she had simply posted at least a one line status message to her loyal fans stating that she would be taking a break for a while, so that we did not have to worry if she got hit by a truck or something else bad like that.

    BTW, I think that Tolka is a girl now based on her avatar, and the amount of time she took off to get sex change surgery to become a girl.

    Oh, plus you double proved it by using a male avatar, thereby proving you are, infact, female.

    Every one knows that humen’s life seems to be expensive, however different people require money for various issues and not every person gets enough money. Thence to get quick credit loans and just short term loan should be a correct way out.
