Welcome to another installment of Mumble taking L's in age-old ways! Squashed & Stretched Too Far! ~ Page 6 Full Resolution Prev // FULL COMIC! // Next

Anybody else remember my cringe squeak nae nae comic?? Yeah me neither! (Get caught up with the excitable link above, but beware the 5+ year old art.)

I Cannot promise regular updates given the sheer number of curveballs life throws at me these days, but next page is already half-sketched and I Do plan to finish both this chapter and the next if it's the last thing I do so !! we'll see how that goes HGSDUILHGSD

Luring cogs is still a valid strategy even if it takes longer, fight me on this.

Fun Fact: Mumble prefers one-hit-destroying cogs if at all possible mostly because he’s afraid of them and suffering through their attacks makes him question his life choices.

Somebody get that boy some ice cream or a hug or something.

Fun Fact: Headcanon that splash damage is a thing (partially inspired by Pom, but mostly just confirmed). So the gag didn’t do full damage to the cogs since it was aimed at Mumble, but because sound is, well, sound, it still did partial damage and woke them up. Cue suffering!

I feel like there might be a story behind why that Bottom Feeder has hair...

Fun Fact: I’ve never maxed lure before on any toon. The highest lure I’ve ever had was I think the big magnet? And that was back with Mumble on Toontown Online. Seriously, I only had level 2 or 3 lure all the way up until I got my Lawbot suit.

Basically this entire page is very experimental, so any polite/constructive criticism would be greatly appreciated, even if it’s just “hey ____ looks weird to me.”

If anyone doesn’t know, Coach Z was the character someone used to make gag strategy guides and other tutorials for TTO back in the day. (i.e. Not mine, but I’m hijacking for this story because cameos.) This is just my take on his character; check out his actual stuff on his yt channel here.

Fun Fact: Yes, I’m actually doing this. :’D

Because everyone knows how great of an idea using stories that your 12-year-old self came up with is. NO SHAME. Maybe a little. Whatever, I’m having fun. Enjoy.

HERE'S A COVER, FIRST PAGE TOMORROW

Squashed and Stretched Too Far ~ Cover Page Full Resolution Prev // Full // Next

Don't worry, going from this to the first page is the most jarring toneshift ever. Most of this story is just my Gary Stu of an OC having a good time 'cause I need at least a couple pages of MY FIRST COMIC EVER to figure out what works and what I'm even doing. ;D

Fun Fact: This was originally going to be a digital painting, but then I remembered that I don't really know how to do that well, so I ended up doing an edited vector instead.
