William here, as always.
Someone asked me once where I am getting the ideas for the comic. Truth is, this story has been playing in my head for years, and I am finally getting it all down. These characters feel like fictional friends of mine that are finally getting their story told.
Most of the feedback we (John and I) have been hearing is that it’s more realistic than most webcomics. That is a huge compliment to us, because that is what we are going for. That isn’t to say that there won’t be some silliness here and there, but for the most part, we hope that you can relate to these men.
Things are really starting to pick up momentum, and I’m personally having a hard time being patient for the new comic to come out. There is something quite awesome about seeing the story I have built in my mind being brought to life twice a week.
And this time was great, because I got to laugh at the comic because Teddy was so unexpected in this one. I have John to thank for that. For that and making Grunt look so adorably vulnerable.
See you all Wednesday, folks!
Wm–
I had the Gordon buying it figured out… but the other stuff was surprising… especially all the stuff between Grunt and Gordon. But it is going famously, William. You and John are telling an amazing story. I am very excited for Wednesday.
These characters ARE very real to me. You are telling a fantastic story and I love the way Grunt just flipped into sub mode when Papa raised his voice. Nicely done! It speaks of a deeper relationship than one might suspect and a completely natural reaction.
You know, I am lucky enough to see the script and hear the ideas John has before they put it all together AND I get to see the process of that also, just due to John being my partner…….but…….”yes I know i’m biased”…..OMFG, the finished product is amazing. Have I told you and William how proud of both of you I am lately??

Just now found this comic (through Bruizr) — enjoying it quite well so far! I’ve added it to my list of comics to read!
I can’t lie, the moment that caused me to instantly respect Grunt was when Daddy raised his voice! I remember all those moments when I was in my own world only for my Daddy & Sir to raise their voices and it was all over for whatever I was doing. This was perfect William! Absolutely Perfect!
