Popsicle Quest

Yes, the newest comic is up. It took a lot longer than I thought. It always takes me longer to finish when I start making new backgrounds. Well, once I complete the backgrounds, I save them as photoshop templates to use in future scenes. You'd be surprised by the lack of backdrops I have in my folder... That's why I keep creating new ones.

Gahhh... The beginning of the comic sounds like the start of a cheesy commercial.
It has been getting hot lately. Why not sit back and enjoy something cold... Oh wait, Nissy can't because of the diminishing supply of NomNom-Bars (based off the GariGari-kun popsicles). Shuta's taunt forces Nissy to begin his quest for the highly prized NomNom-Bars. Nissy searches every convenience store but ends in failure. But then kids?! Really Nissy?! As for the last resort, wouldn't it have been ideal to have gone straight for the source to begin with? In the end, he does get his NomNom-Bars. He is riding a bike, by the way.

OMAKE
I had a friend read this before I posted it and they told me that this was the only thing on their mind:

I can totally see how they thought that...

Haha. OMG. That one is amazing ! One of my favorite I think ! :)
Nissy craving for Nomnom bars is adorable. I really laughed at Nissy trying to get it from those kids but... failing, and falling. XD

Nice job once again. <3
And I've just noticed your layout, did you change it "recently" ? Either way, I love it !

It's been getting warmer outside, everyone wants ice cream. Nissy's serious dedication towards popsicles...
The plan to get popsicles from kids, pretty good, but the execution... not so much, FAIL.

Actually I changed the layout back in March of last year. But I'm glad you love it.

That's awesome, I love how he tries to trick the kids with a Kamen Rider sighting!

It also reminds me of my favourite video by Furukawa Yuuta (in search of a summer treat, the bicycle, etc.) XD http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IggH5DYz2II

Kamen Rider is awesome.

It's my first time seeing that music video, it fits the comic so well. All that running made me think of a Kazuki Kato video where he is continuously chasing down some guys who stole his retro tv.

You like Kamen Rider, too? Have you been watching Fourze?

Oh, I love Kazuki's voice, do you have a link to that video?

Actually I haven't watched the other ones, I've only seen like half of the Kabuto season.

This video is so hard to find, but here's the link:

Thank you so much! I'll check it out right after work. :D

Oh man! XDD Poor Nissy! XDDDDD But the image of him running around trying to get that ice cream bar was so sadistically fun and sad at the same time! XDDDDDD And he's SO CUTE!!!

Thanks so much for sharing this! <3 I think it says a lot that not only are you a talented artist...you also know precisely what sorts of stories to write for your characters, in order to make them funny and enjoyable! ^^

XDD And I totally see what you friend meant there!

It is so amusing, we want to see him get his popsicle, but at the same time we "really" want to see him struggle and fail. Overall it was just so fun.

No problem, It's good to know that people enjoy it and it makes them laugh = it means I'm doing it right. It's tough sometimes to write stories that suit the characters' personality. Part of it is just pure randomness, but there's nothing wrong with that.
