Whenever I’m running on fumes you get a Hatoful Boyfriend comic
I am stubbornly committed to not missing a week, even if that means every so often I have to put up a Flash Doodle comic.
Hwaaah, Hopefully I won’t be posting so many late comics in the future, I just finished the whirlwind con season of the last month-or-so. Thanks to everyone who came out for (and invited me to!) Madicon, Wondercon, Conbust, and UBCon! I had a great time meeting everyone who came out to hear me ramble and draw Magikarps everywhere!
Annnnnd if you have not yet experienced the wonders of Hatoful Boyfriend and as such do not get this comic; you can get the free demo here and the translation patch here, and once you decide it’s completely hilarious and you need to own the full version with its bonus character and unlockable secret endgame, you can buy the $5 full English version here. (and if you have a Mac OS, you can read about how to fix the permissions issue that prevents it from opening properly here)
What’s with the pigeon?
He’s a character in Hatoful Boyfriend.
Needs more Sacha Baron Cohen.
yo, its tuesday, what happened to “I am stubbornly committed to not missing a week”? I am much upset with this, please do not begin your descent into unupdated obscurity as so many other webcomics do.
Because nagging gets you everything, right?
it is sad how many times I would go see that movie.
I can’t speak for the others but I’ll gladly take whatever I can get. Jared just seems so happy carrying that mana potion.
What do they need a mana potion for? As far as I know none of them cast spells unless commander has some kinda weird mass effect type space magic we don’t know about.
As far as RPGs are concerned, many otherwise normal(if skillful) actions require mana, and knowing the commander he got many normal(if skillful) stunts for sure.
What about a charisma potion
It powers his flux capacitor, duh…
… … … by the way, does the Commander fight similar to someone from Achron?
They also appear to have milk. I am going to assume it’s Chateau Romani. INFINITE MAGIC!!
I love the pigeon in a tux xD
Not sure if you saw mah first comment (the kid Icarus: Uprising one)….. But whatever any comic from you is great and funny.
Wow, its amazing what crapola Hollywood can dish out…………………………………………………………………………meh, Ill watch it anyways.
Give it two months, it will be on DVD.
Anyway, Hatoful comics are fine. Any comics are fine. No comics are fine.
You have a real life – don’t stress out about what a bunch of people on the Internet want. The Interwebs will still be here when you get done doing whatever it is you were too busy doing to draw a comic.
But don’t take that as an excuse to stop making the comic, at least finish the story arc before hand
I think Squid intends to keep making the comic. I’m pretty sure it’s not going to end anytime soon.
Awww yeaaaah, burds. You should just scan all the art from the cons, visiting us bros up in Toronto and all the other art you’ve amassed as a bonus post. Everyone pretty much loves your art and it’d be a good filler.
Your comic brings me joy but not if it costs you things like sleep and joy. You created a nice little world where Deadpool could meet Mario and Mario can meet Pyramid head and Pyramid head can meet Pikachu and Pikachu can meet Mr. T. Don’t fret over late comics or Flash doodle comic.
Hope you had fun at the conventions and I hop you didn’t see to many fat guys dress up as Electra or Fay.
Dude, those guys are the best. Is there any other reason to go to conventions?
But of course! For the very old man who comes dressed as Sailor Moon every year.
Oh my good freaking go are you serious?
(Alt.) Orly!!!??!?!
Sailor Man is a well-studied natural phenomenon.
I think it’s the Sailor Man Scout that threw him.
Hooray for funny old men in drag!
I don’t care if I’m missing the joke, which I know I am… Any bird dressed in a tux and going to prom is one part adorable and two parts hilarious. XD nice one.
That is one HANDSOME pigeon.
I don’t know about you guys but I think a pigeon in a tux is pretty coo-l.
@MurasakiDoku (Shakes the bad pun collection can) C’mon, you know the rules. That one is worth at least a dollar.
And be sure to read Angie Gallant’s hilarious Let’s Plays of the demo and full game.
Oh my god, what a hilarious thread. i already played the game so the reactions were even funnier.
I’m not sure if I should love you or hate you for linking me to that.
YUUYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Also, that fucking Fat Bird.
I mean seriously.
I’m pretty sure I have to buy that game now.
What is it with Jared and thinking every PoS is epic? Channing Tatum is a bad actor, and a bad dancer (Watch Step Up 1&2) and everybody thinks he is so gorgeous and he’s such a nice guy. Hmph…I think Jared could whup him. ‘Nuff said.
(Channing Tatum is not the punchline of this comic)
Isn’t he? …isn’t he?
…. It has finally happened: I have no words.
That’s gonna be one sexy and suave movie there. I’d see it.
…is the white bottle some LonLon milk?
Yes.
And some of that red whiskey and a jug of gripe water, just for laughs.
I read “Hateful Boyfriend” at first. That would make an interesting spin-off.
inb4oldjoke
“Hato” is Japanese for Pigeon, the name is a pun on “Heartful”.
I saw 21 jump street a week or so ago (our movie theater gets the new movies really late) and it was alright but not very original or really the amazing. It also had a very tasteless and disgusting part at the end. Overall I would say to wait for it when it is in a $5 bin of movies.
that amazing, darn it I hate writing typos.
That was actually the thing that really got to me as well. Not that I mind particularly gruesome, bloody scenes, but at least make it a sensible one for the movie. As it was in 21st Jump Street, those scenes just seemed so out of place, as if it was done purposefully. Like its out of placeness was the punchline of a joke that they failed to deliver on. The rest of the movie was damn good, though, and not all of those scenes were bad. Bad acting, bad jokes, those abounded, but sometimes the worst comedies are the most hilarious ones.
I forgot to add:
To be fair, it doesn’t really try to be original, so I can’t blame it for being unoriginal. I mean, it is a remake after all.
Huh, I did not realize it was a remake of an old TV show, I had assumed it was one of those silly (but funny) movies of the comedic frat boy type. It was actually pretty good, but not one of those movies that I really wanted to see all that much.
And that ending really did kind of ruin the whole for me, I wasn’t rooting for the heroes, but rather feeling bad for that guy and checking my nether regions.
I haven’t seen it, won’t see it even if offered a free ticket. Still, it probably can’t be much worse than Battleship.
I hear it’s not bad and also was written by the guys who made Clone High.
Meh, me, I just watch whatever is at the theater whether it be twilight or underworld. Just something to do.
shame on you for not knowing where johhny depp got his start.
(original 21 jump street) also richard greco. guess its ok though because everyone forgets him in nightmare on elm street too.
Sesame Street flashback in 3, 2, 1…
Put in Sakuya and Ryouta as bumbling amateurs and I would watch that movie so many times.
Sugar, you catch up on sleep and life a little. We can wait.
(And this week’s is still pretty funny)
I’ve been watching 21 Jump Street, the hilariously bad TV show from the late 80s, so this confused the hell out of me until I googled it and realized there is now a movie too. Is there nothing they will not base a movie off of?
I will only consider getting Hatoful Boyfriend if one of the characters is City Face
needs more fat hellbird
I don’t even care.
Give me more pigeon love!
MOAR PIGEON LOVE DAMN IT!
I HAVE A FEVER AND THE ONLY CURE IS MORE PIGEON LOVE!
That last sentence is incredibly ominous given what happened to humans in the Hatoful universe. XD
Now I’m getting a really weird visual.
Hato Petera is a Maori Catholic high school here in NZ.
21 Jump Street pigeons going undercover there…. *boggles*
The faculty there would have to be pretty dense
I get the joke. It’s lazy but still funny.
a pigeon, no matter how elegantly attired will still cr** everywhere… between that & johnny depp cameo, how suspensful!
Well, to be perfectly honest. . . it wasn’t originally a white tux.
Oh the poster mean Sakazaki Yuuya THE FANTAIL PIGEON. Totally woulda missed him on Channing Tatum’s shoulder if I hadn’t read the description. I mean who credits birds in movies? And now I remember Yuuya was actually a spy lol.
I admire your will to not skip a week. As a reader of your webcomic, it means a lot to me. Also I’m mildly concerned Jared will accidentally move too suddenly and smash potions everywhere.
I just finished this game because of you, and all I have to say is
YUUUUYAAAA OH GOD WHYYYY TT-TT
I can’t believe no one has said this so far:
This comic is going TO THE BIRDS!!
**ba-dum-dum-kish!!**
That is one dapper pigeon.
I love the word dapper.
People should use it more often
I love Yuuya, but truthfully, my heart belongs to Shuu. Damn that doctor and his sexy yandere-ness. He can examine my insides most intimately any day, unf.
I now want to make pigeon shape cookies, this comic caught me at one of my random baking times. With frosting you could make the little tux and everything.
The cookie cutters would be difficult to find though.
Just use a dove cookie cutter, those are everywhere! :3
I always read that as “Hatefull boyfriend” for some reason.
Me too!
Okay you finally got me, a pigeon fancier that actually used to keep pet pigeons, to buy the game. I haven’t even played the demo but I bought it anyway. PIGEONS UNITE.
I’d be happy if you drew more pigeons even if they weren’t relavent to the comic drawn. Pigeons are adorable and you draw birds so well.
Oh man, the full game is SO WORTH IT even if it’s just for the secret game you unlock after you get all the regular endings. IT’S CRAZY!
Also, thank you! :Dc
I hope to c more of ur work cant wait to c wat happens wit mr.fish an comaner b.
Finally caved and bought the full version. For some reason, though, I can’t access the infirmary team option. All I want is to date a mad scientist partridge!
I think you have to date someone else before that option opens up. I’m pretty sure it was Yuuya or Sakuya. You have to date them all to get the super-secret insane storyline (which is totally worth the effort), so you might as well anyway. :3
I had gone through all the others (you can’t get Yuuya’s until the infirmary’s unlocked, either, but for some reason my gallery didn’t register that I had the end cards for a few. Went back to replay then, and got access. Shuu is my wonderful chukar lover.
Also, holy hell the BBL storyline.
Holy shit, I’ve seen you mention Hatoful Boyfriend a few times, but hadn’t really delved into it. Finally did so and… oh my god. That was completely insane. I love how it’s all humourous at first but it gets more and more dark and intricate and soul-crushing. AND IT’S A GAME ABOUT PIGEONS
Anyway thank you for the referral. Holy shit times 3. Everyone, please buy and play it. It’s so much more than it seems.
YUUYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA ;;
I think the beter question is, “Why do you know about this?”.
How come you haven´t made mention of “The Expendables 2”? It seems like something that would ping pretty hard in the commander´s radar
You know. It can be a good idea to make some comics ahead of time. So you have something to post when time gets short. This might be a bad time of saying that, since you are very busy, but try to finish comics for a few weeks ahead. That way if it gets too stressful a week you just *BADOOM* pull out a page from your secret pocket.
You’re not the only webcomic author who end up with a shortage of time. Love your comic by the way. You clever bastard-you!
Love – from a total stranger on the Internet to another total stranger on the Internet
“I see you’re having trouble drawing one comic page a week, how about you draw several comic pages a week?”
It seems kind of like the Bill Cosby “If I can’t jump my own height maybe I can jump one inch higher” routine…
Yuuya ive never been prouder of you.
Coo…
Oh. Before seeing the Hatoful bit I thought it was an obscure One Piece Reference-there was a secondary character in the Water 7 arc that always had a pigeon with him.
@hielario
Dude, that is SO Rob Lucci ;-. CP9 agent,carpenter,Leopard-man,Badass.And his pidgeon with tux Hatori.
I have to ask…Commander Badass and Commander Shepard; BFF’s or SAME PERSON?
okaywiththis.jpg
HO HO HO!
COO! NEEDS MORE OKO-SAN!
Um, the Hatoful Boyfriend comic is missing? It’s now Jared looking at a movie poster for 21 Jump Street? I would think I was missing the joke, but I remember this one because it itroduced me to the game…
I did two hatoful comics, this is one of them. It’s only one panel
Channing Tatum looks like the generic male option for an rpg character
And now they made a Will Smith movie out of it.
