Back to business!  We continue the prequel-adventures of Chris and David as they find their way to their fateful collision.

Who’s that making a cameo in the comic, in the first frame?  Why, that’s HomestarRunnerTron from YouTube, the person responsible for Missing Number’s Official YouTube Video.  If you have not seen it, Watch it now.  If you do not, Captain T-Kachu, the Pirate Pikachu, will not be pleased.

On the website front, we’ve got a new, updated, spiffy vector-type logo in our title box at the top of the page.  It’s not much of a change… actually, come to think of it, it’s quite a leap in quality from our old logo (which is nearly a year old now!  As the logo existed before the comic…).

Also we have a new affiliate, The Lonely Soda Bottle. Click their link if you want to take a look.  It’s a new contender in the international webcomic market.  Yet another friend of Missing Number!  Speaking of which, if you would like to affiliate, contact Shawn at MissingNumberComics dot com, and we’ll see what we can do!

Hmm… anything else?  Oh, yes.  New sprites:

What’s with the size difference?  Jenny and Joy are Diamond/Pearl sprites, whereas HomeStarRunnerTron is a Ruby/Sapphire/FireRed/LeafGreen sprite.  Over the next couple of weeks we’ll be upgrading some sprites to Diamond/Pearl style.  We call them… Sprites:  The Next Generation.  Catchy, no?  We think so.  It takes a LONG time to do these sprites right… so superkudos to Chris for his efforts (He also made the “overworld” sprites for the second frame of this comic.)

Anything else?  No, not really.  Sign up for our RSS feed if you want up to date messages about our updates   (Especially since it’s not too regular…).  And… if you want to accomplish things in life, avoid Guitar Hero.  Really.  If you’re not planning on dedicating the rest of your life to playing that game, just stay away!  We’ve spent too much time on Guitar Hero…

This is Part 3 of a three issue series!

The startling conclusion to the Deus Ex Machina Miniarc!

Thanks go to Allan for providing this excellent diversion.

We haven’t sat on our hands over here.  We’ve been working setting up our next story arc, so tune in next week for more Missing Number!

In any case, I hope you’ve enjoyed the comic so far, and do come back next week!

Not much to say about this one.  Last issue of the Vulpix Come Home arc!  We will be starting a new arc next week.

Sorry for the delay on the update.  We had a wedding in the family yesterday, and it was only a 360 mile drive (one way)!  We underestimated travel/rest/matrimony time, and by the time we got back we had just enough energy to collapse into sleep.  And sleep in.

If you’ve liked our comics so far (including this arc), feel free to vote for us!  The links are in the graphical buttons in the Vote box to the right.

Also, say hello to our new affiliate, GlitchCity.info!

Well, that issue was fun as well. First time the sketch artist has attempted Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy (in a final draft, that is. The practice sketches have already been shredded like Enron paperwork).

The inker has discovered a speedup technique on the inking style, it saves him something like 10 hours an issue (there’s a reason we’re weekly!), but keeps the Game Boy Advance/Diamond-Pearl art style.

The colorist is happy that he’s back to being the only person working on the coloring and shading. It’s a bit difficult to coordinate color style between two different artists. The colorist has been put into deep-freeze awaiting his next issue.

In any case, we’ve had a lot of fun with this arc, and there are a few more issues to go! Can’t wait to see what’s coming along…

…in Missing Number: Adventures in Glitch City! (Or in this case, Iridescent City.)
