Penultimate thumbnail update for this scene.
Been doing some more thinking (dangerous thing, I know), and for the sake of sanity, I’m going to take a few weeks after this scene ends before beginning first batch update. The truth is May was a bit disruptive, and I haven’t spared as much time for the comic as I’d hoped. I’m working through a backlog of commissions left over from the last round of conventions, doing prep for MECAF and A-KON, and still have some client work left on my plate. While I’d prefer to be optimistic and start things up right away, I’d rather give myself some breathing space. At this point a couple of weeks delay isn’t going to matter that much. Better to get A-KON out of the way, and get my other work done without turning into a ball of stress (and that will kill my creativity faster than anything else these days).
So, I’m going to officially start the batch update system on July 2nd, the first Monday of the month, with the intent of updating a new scene the first week of each month from there.
Thanks for sticking with with me, folks!
Awesome! Can’t wait for the batch updates! However, even if you don’t keep posting the story either page by page or by scene …I will totally wait hand over fist for the full issue to be released …It’s awesome! Really reminds what I have been wanting to do with my own ideas …
Ooh that a good one mike. So whats you anser Kate?
are you excited for A-KON in a couple days Dirk
I was and I am now having a FANTASTIC time. Really had fun doing the PS Q&A this afternoon. I kinda opened the floodgates on the how’s and why’s and where’s behind the origins and reasons for doing the comic. it made me all excited to get on with telling the story when I get back.
Totally cannot wait to re-read all of this stuff once it’s fully inked up and detailed!
Hey there! I’m the chick that talked with you at ACEN and came back sunday to buy the other two books.
I keep rereading the books and even got my older sister to read them. She loved them! I really love the story you have here. I’d love to see it as a TV show or even a movie. You have awesome characters!
This sounds more or less exactly how I first picked up PS
That’s fantastic! I’m so glad you and your sister enjoyed them. One day maybe we’ll get to see that dream realized. It would make a badass tv show.
Also, I have another potential actress for Kate– Katie Sackoff (Starbuck from BSG). She might be a bit short, but she can do the attitude dead on.
That’s because Chow in Chinatown was delicious!
Especially the Egg Fu Young!
And the Cum of Som Younguy
The translation is horrible. I feel terrible when I realise what they are in Chinese though they are tasty. Of course I don’t expect better translation, but it just not right. Maybe Som Younguy can be directly translate into minced garlic and chicken, so everyone knows it’s chicken, not a guy.
By the way, Chow happened to be pronounced the same as “Porridge” in mandarin, but different in cantonese.
Not sure if serious… or trolling?
No wait, I screwed that one up. It’s Cream of Sum Yung Gai.

Can’t visit YouTube from China mainland, as government’s firewall blocks it out. (We have Youku as a substitution)
Cream of Sum Yung Gai? Is it cream or chicken?
I bet you are talking about Chinese food, right?
@ChineseWolf
Since you can’t visit Youtube. “Cream of Sum Yung Gai” is a reference to the movie Wayne’s World. And yes, it does mean an actual guy.
It’s a series of homophones, or words that are written differently, but sounds the same. It’s a play on how some Chinese words sound and look like English words when written in our alphabet.
He’s basically making a joke:
Cum of Som Younguy
=
Semen of A Young Guy (youth, or young man)
Thanks for sticking with the comic, Dirk.
There was never any doubt. I always come back to my brainchild. In the end, this is what live to do, but I need to give it the proper care and feeding it deserves.
It’s Dirk’s world, we just read it.
“How was Chow any different?”
…
“I guess because I didn’t kill him WITH MY &^%$#@! TEETH!”
trust Mike to find a perfectly logical and morally acceptable rationale for KILLING A HOBO WITH YOUR TEETH!
Also, I totally love Kate’s gung-ho attitude in panel 1. (: I love this series so much it hurts!
Some day in the future, mark my words, they will make a live-action movie of this. Hopefully it will be up to the level of awesome this demands.
A live action movie of PS would not do it justice. (see Dragon Ball Evolution, Street Fighter Legend of Chun Li, Speed Racer, etc…)
PS would only work as an Anime done by Studio Madhouse! I would Kickstarter that!
hey blood the last vampire was decent
I wish i would have came to A-KON to visit you Dirk but i was so busy i didnt have time
