Please we all know your clone took over while Melvin was the avatar of your account.
I have a clone?!?!
Well, now I have a cool story to tell my friends. How I was replaced on an internet forum for a month without knowing about it

Words cannot express how much I miss that Marik avatar...
And is it me or do Yugioh characters have GREAT Super Saiyan hair?
Marik has so many awesome facial expressions. That was just the best animated one I could find. I'm finished with Yugioh for now though, so back to Piccolo.

We occasionally go out for beers.
Why Dragon Ball Consistency in something such as power levels matter!

Power levels establish tension and drama. People who care about them (well, people who care about them in a narrative) don't care about the big numbers or the fancy explosions. If you have character A who's so much above character B, who's the main character, you're gonna be left wondering how in the hell character B, the character we're supposed to care and root for, is going to escape the situation or overcome the odds. It makes us emotionally invested.
If character B doesn't escape the situation in a believable way that's consistent with previous events, then that emotional investment is gone. It was pointless tension, pointless drama made just to suck in the viewer. It has no critical value whatsoever. The audience is left believing that the author can just create whatever scenarios he wants and what happens to the characters is decided by whatever the author wants to happen, regardless of the events that happened in the story. Which, in fairness, is what happens, but the audience wants to be fooled. The audience wants to know that the world they're following has rules. That the world they're invested in isn't going to bend to external factors that are irrelevant to them.
An author can do whatever he wants with the characters, that's not false. But the author should also have the responsibility to make sure it fits in cohesively with the other events in the narrative he has created.

hubububububub. This is most unorthodox. Human sickness for a manga artist...unacceptable.

He's sick
.....so?
I don't need to have this manga in my life to keep going, but still...how does being sick affect drawing (unless you happen to sneeze when drawing a line). If he gets off college?/work for it, he should actually have more time...

Excuse him for wanting to be at 100% health. Who all we know he might have someone else(A gf. Family) who are sick aswell or having issues. But seriously he's doesn't feel good. So he doesn't need to draw if he's not at at least 90%. Like for reals.

If I'm really sick, then the last thing I'd want to do is sit up and draw something. Chill out, and give the guy a break.

We most likely are. But to say he's sick should give him more time to draw or saying him being sick isn't an excuse on drawing makes you seem like a huge asshole imo. Sounds like the fans who rush the author(Or what ever the product is. Development, designer, construction ect) of his work. Which makes him rush and give some shitty outcome. You would't want that. Do you?

Hey guys, I am sorry about the wait. On top of working through being sick, just being sick in general, training new hires at my job, and trying to fit time in with my gf, I've been really busy. I just needed a little time to get things squared away.
The next page is pretty much done. I have one more panel to pencil and ink, which I'll be saving for tomorrow. So, new page tomorrow.
