Vote?Facebook?Twitter?LJ?

Wow, late update. Thanks so much for your patience and understanding. The crisis that caused the late upload is thankfully resolved (with happy/ surprise ending, so…yay).

This page also kind of kicked my ass cuz I hate drawing vines, ugh. So many mistakes too, I have a lot of edits to make. BUT thankfully there are only three! more! pages! until the end of the chapter! I’ll be taking a month or so break before starting chapter 2, but in the interim will be posting the sketch pages here so you can see the glaring differences and laugh at the bad writing. More on that later.

For this Wednesday’s (give or take 24 hours) pimpage, I’ll link to a comic I keep meaning/ forgetting to add to the link page, the fantastic Shrub Monkeys!! Ktshy does the best expressions in the world, not exaggerating. I know a lot of you like the way I do expressions but I don’t have nothing on her. Look at them for gods sakes. One of the few autobio-ish comics that I don’t find to be insanely boring (and is in fact hilarious).

Oh, and thanks so much too for the votes as of late, despite my uploading inane things (today being a good case in point). I feel like I am being imbued with INCREDIBLE POWERS.

    i’d find it hard to resist too…

  3. Tóxica says:

    Poor Pinter :’D He’ll surely need a big hug after all that.

    Just wanted to stop by and say that your artistry is brilliant. I have read a lot of webcomics, and quite a few “online graphic novels” that were nothing more than glorified webcomics, but yours is different. I would be pleased, no, thrilled, with what I saw if I was standing in a bookstore and picked up a copy of “The Meek” and saw inside what I’ve seen here on this site.

    I just read all 42 pages…twice…after being linked here by a webcomic I read. Your storyline is excellent (and this is coming from a career writer with a degree in literature) and your art is some of the best I’ve ever seen. Keep up the great work, especially with your characters diversity…every panel is unique, facial expressions are dynamic, and each one is absolutely beautiful.

    Keep up the great work.

    You, my friend, have the ability to draw the best facial expressions I’ve seen in ages. kudos on panel 1!

  6. Boots says:

    Hee hee, I love Pinter’s “Oh god why me” face in the second to last panel. :D

  7. DoggySpew says:

    Definitely a case of adrenaline rush, followed by an adrenaline crash.

    Hi, I’m kinda new(well, not really, but kinda XP) and I really like this comic! :D
    “right in the… The…” *faint* LOL

  9. Nosferatu says:

    This has got to be my favourite page so far, the expressions are sooo amazing, I love the last couple of panels, you really have a brilliant sense of humour (and I’d like to say the same as mine) fabby work, keep it up for the last! three! pages!

  10. Karrey says:

    But I love how you draw vines. :)
    Lovely page as usual! Pinter’s expression on the second last panel is priceless!

  11. Digital Spirit X says:

    They should get out of there before the blonde guy comes back with a mob.

  12. Closet Monster says:

    I want to nibble his nose.

    Awesome stuff as always. <3 I commend you for your dedication. :3

  13. Annie says:

    Lol, I love this comic. Pinter may be a loser, but he’s a good guy. And Angora is so sweet and a very lovable character. Too much taken out of her I guess? Let’s hope she gets a top, can’t wait for more!

  14. HapyCow says:

    Hm, her powers take a lot out of her? Poor Angora! She’s young..she’ll probably get better.

    Amazing page, as usual! *drags Pinter to AA*

  15. Stevie says:

    Love the comic as always but OMG THANK YOU FOR THE COMIC LINK! I saw shrub monkeys a while back and then I lost the link in the great juice vs. laptop incident of 08. And all I could remember was that I liked the comic and someone had linked it once. And then here it is! yay.

  16. Pinter’s expression in the bottom left panel is PURE. GOLD.

  17. Dani Hope says:

    Ha! I really love the change in her expression from the last page to this one!

    btw, I’ve been watching this comic on DeviantArt for a while and then I realized I could read more on your site, which made me a little too excited, haha! Great stuff, I can’t wait to see more :D

  18. Gracelinge says:

    awww…. shes so excited!

  19. Guzba says:

    Just started reading your novel tonight – Don’t think I moved from the computer until I caught up! (Which takes a while on Dial-up)
    My only regret, that there isn’t more to read <3

  20. alyy says:

    omg this comic is AMAZING!!! cannot wait to see more!!!!!!

  21. alyy says:

    haha i love his frog-like pose in the last frame :P

  22. Amanda says:

    I like his face in the last panel. XDD

  23. Chameleon Kid says:

    Poor kid, took a lot out of her. ^_^;

    Ahhh, Pinter, Pinter, Pinter…when has the “smart thing” ever been the “right” or “fun” thing? XDD

  24. Captain says:

    I like the hearts above angora’s head in the third panel. Do we have a swooner in our midst?

  25. Soulnova says:

    Seriously, the last panel is the cutest thing ever, Pinter nibbling on his bottle while crouching. XD
    As everyone else says, great use of expressions. One of my favorite webcomics on the interwebz.

  26. Cimmy says:
