I love this comic, since I saw I’ve followed it; but in these moments I’m starting to hate Tim, even I don’t know why.
“Hate” seems a bit strong, how about “find Tim annoying”.
(Always be positive 🙂 )
I agree with you @Eeagle074
It is the nature of anonymous Internet comments to tend to the extreme. It takes awareness of this and maturity of one’s own self to moderate one’s own posts.
Tom. I like you . 👍
Thank you, Dark. I appreciate your moderate tone,too.

The de-virgin thing at age 18 might be normal for a smallish Canada high school, but it is not normal for a largish American high school (mine had over 2500 students).
For anyone who hasn’t noticed, this background story is taking place just after Tim’s 18th birthday. Shadow has had years of Tim-getting-used-to-her –not true of any other female. What Shadow intends to do, and what Tim is psychologically ready for, can be two different things.
I love how sexy she acts as he tells her about his day!
Brandon are you going to post 2 pages this Sunday or just one?
Wait and see.
There’s no certainty that Brandon’s going to post ANYTHING at all!
He’s actually on holidays from work AND this hobby.
You’re not paying for reading so you have no right to any content nor any expectation. That sort of nagging is likely to make him think “Fuck it. It stops here! I don’t need the harrassment. NO MORE COMIC!!!” and none of us want that.
Dude, relax. It was a simple question. We all love Brandon and his work. We also know that real life comes first. Ease off ok? It’s not like cyber was trying to rush him or anything. Merry Christmas everyone and Happy New Years.
Chaos Diesel claimed “It’s not like cyber was trying to rush him or anything.”
I disagree.
Toasty posted a classic passive-agressive “Hurry Up!” message and needed to be reminded of the possible consequence of his nag.
He’s done it before and wants more and more content without considering the effect on Brandon.
He asked a simple question fuckface, maybe get off your parents laptop for awhile & go play with the other kids. Stop assuming shit is directed in a passive aggressive manner. Take your fuckin Ritalin
I’m pretty sure he was just asking if we’re going to see an in colour of what’s on the facebook page for New Years, or if we might get that and a tease of the next page/full colour & dialogue. I understand Brandon does get those “hurry up!” messages, however, this one does seem relatively harmless and just an genuine inquiry.
Well, on one hand, I don’t like to rush the creator, because it does cause more stress on them, even if it wasn’t intentional. On the other hand, there is no reason to tear into somebody this hard over it. CyberToast wasn’t slinging insults or profanity at anybody, and only spoke his mind, and didn’t know any better. We all have these thoughts, but courtesy keeps us silent and hopeful.
That being said, everybody here needs to take a breather and let it go.
More stress means less of their best.
I guess it also means less rest?
Resulting in less time to invest?
Their zestfulness may become less.
@Tomokatimaloserfurry
Either you are the second (or third?) account of someone who wants attention,
or you are someone who is just plain RUDE.
Do you even know why some people take ritalin?
Swearing doesn’t help to get a point across (actually makes it harder to do so), so don’t swear!
Original Tom is right. Do not rush Brandon. If anything I hope Brandon saw this thread and this is the real reason it was postponed this week. Also “Iamaloser”, you are a Class 1 asshole and I hope Brandon sees your information and bans you. That is obviously not your real account.
Warning! Warning! Danger, Tim Robinson Danger!
I love how it went from saying “Updates on Sundays” to “Updates MOST Sundays”
Well, after weeks of being accused of “lying to my fans” by missing some updates due to, you know, ‘life’, I figured I’d update that to cut back on clever a-holes from constantly pointing that out.
Well the best thing is that your putting out pages and were all grateful for that. So keep up the good work Brandon
Hey man I the comment that you reply but I am not mad or pissed off or something it just that I feel bad for wasting your time but also it’s just some people who view this comic who end up thinks I am trying antagonize them and you like a internet troll but I am not plus it’s just a theory and it doesn’t have to be use for annoyance plus I am not trying spam or try to get on anybodys nerves okay God plus it’s just a theory ok it doesn’t have to be really happened i am not trying to force you to do it and it’s okay that midnight would come across her own human besides I don’t want you or anyone else hate me for a damn pitiful reason that should not being a big deal okay like I am like Adolf Hitler or kim jung il or something like shit i don’t deserve this much hate i am just a fan of this comic and your work all i wanted is to get along with everybody like a answer not to this because it’s not fucking clear why some people who talking trash to me look Brandon I am sorry about this it’s just damn i am sorry for wasting your time I was just a sharing a theory to someone that I just got feeling ok with like I am saying I am sorry it just a damn theory
What?
Hate you?
Why?
All you did was reply to a question, you shared your theory, nothing offensive was done.
(Please use full stops when typing up a long comment)
(I know that your comment is directed (mainly) towards Brandon)
Sorry I was talking to Brandon plus you didn’t offended me plus you’re cool 😎 man & I am just feeling well comfortable with you
And Brandon I am sorry about this I just over reacted but I really don’t want you to be wasted your time or make you angry or anything i just can’t help myself some times ok am sorry
People generally don’t like reading such a big wall of text, so my advice to you is keep your messages short and sweet, and things will go much smoother in the future. Also you just have to accept the fact that some people you just have to ignore.
And I’m not angry, you don’t need to apologize. 🙂
My bad I am just trying to give you some respect that you deserve sorry it’s just that dark at hearts said something that got me feeling offended you get that right plus he or she doesn’t realize that I am basically autistic just letting you know ok plus some times I try to do better plus about me being autistic is not my excuse i am just being honest with you and you do respect the people with autism right
Absolutely I do! Nothing wrong with that!
Oh good i am just checking & trying to outgoing you know plus you know midnight I know I have been talking about for awhile besides I am not trying to insult her or anything plus I actually liked midnight because she has cool characteristics and stuff can be honest with you if you reply
I’m so curious to see what happens to trigger the switch
It may only ever be a mental change – & I think (not being any sort of artist) that might be hard to draw.
A page trying to draw such a moment could fall into the trap of swamping the art with dialogue and text boxes.
HINT: I’ve seen a draft version on Patreon. Brandon did that before ho took his holidays. There’s no text (yet) and no explanation.
Don’t forget, there is also a draft on the facebook page.
Hey dude you’ll read comment that I reply to you right
Some of us are not happy with Facebook’s sharing of MY details and decline to paricipate. Cyber (and bankig) security
Well at some page when midnight stop by to try to get Tim’s fear like what shadow did but when Tim explained about shadow how much she is something special for him plus I think that at page 92 & 93 that Tim is talking so sweet about shadow and it end up made midnight feeling flirted with a little smile on her face plus when she said oh Timothy you sweet stupid boy…you’re a good kid and also at page 158she said oh nothing it’s very you very human,like that maybe is a sign of her not only have feelings for shadow and maybe also Tim as well maybe not at page 163 but what is your thoughts on this let me know on the reply okay man besides this just my theory about midnight
(I found your comment a bit hard to follow, try using full stops and [maybe] some more commas next time instead of typing one [very] long sentence. I [personally] find that using 3 small sentences as opposed to 1 long one makes it easier for others to assimilate the info I am trying to get across. [Just a suggestion 🙂 ])
I see your point, I originally assumed her to be either bi-sexual, or gay (or lesbian). I find (personally) that the evidence seems to point more towards her being the latter, but there were a couple of times where she seemed to almost flirt with Tim in a passive manner. One of these is pages 92 & 93 (like you already mentioned in your comment). Although, this instance might just be a bit of friendly banter. [([battery gonna die 🙁 , I’ll have to stop here for now])]
Midnight will love whoever comes her way. The Noxians don’t have any sort of hang-ups regarding whichever sex or whatever colour you happen to be.
They do *generally* respect the species line however. So, everybody asking for Midnight to find her own human to cuddle up with may be seriously disappointed. Noxian/Human relationships are a big no no, and although I have depicted several going on co-currently, they are still rare. Less than I can count on one hand, in comparison to an entire population of various people on both sides with same-species relationships ongoing.
It’s almost as if there were some unseen hand, guiding events to make these species-crossed relations happen in the world. Fate, perhaps?
PRB will -never- learn to use punctuation and correct glamour. So good luck there. I’m just glad I’m not the only one who ever noticed it.
Boooooo. Midnight needs her own human.
No, others notice. I don’t read his comments because I try to avoid headaches.
Never say never
Thank you Leelanda
Thank you Leelanidas! Same here!. Why Brandon response to him the most is beyond me.
I just caught a glimpse of it, I’m already getting the feels haha
Well Tim’s not the one copping a feel!
Tim if you want to defuse a potential nuke safely. Turn around and kiss that girl. PRONTO.
Well at some page when midnight stop by to try get Tim’s fear like what shadow did but when Tim explained about shadow how much she is something special for him plus I think that at page 92 & 93 that Tim is talking so sweet about shadow and it end up made midnight feeling flirted with a little smile on her face plus when she said oh Timothy you sweet stupid boy…you’re a good kid and also at page 158 she said oh nothing it’s very you very human, like that maybe is a sign of her not only have feelings for shadow and maybe also Tim as well maybe not at page 163 but what is your thoughts on this let me on the reply okay man
Wow I love this!!! Keep it going
Two thing’s, first tim turn around and hug shadow so much, second we need an official the monster under the bed discord server!
A discord server? That could get pretty chaotic pretty fast. Yeesh.
Really? The 20ish servers im on arent chaotic nor dead, that may be because most of them are more focused around video games soo that could be something, but for a comic like this i can’t see any problems other than people being idiots but that is destent for any server and the only way too get away from that whould be to get some rules and moderators.
But if you think soo then i guess there is nothing more to it. :p
Good idea on paper! Execution and policing? Thats gonna be a shitstorm.
What do you expect firs we talk about the comic, then life, then politics, next thing you know it’s a texting warzone and everyone is sexist or something. Point 8s discord is a shit show if you don’t police that shit
I’m on a few discords of various topics, and they are either dead/empty, full of butt-kissers, or full of just altogether too much random chaos to keep track of everything.
I’ll gladly keep the social side of things right here at the source. I consider this website to be the main hub of the comic, despite posting it on Facebook and Patreon as well. The bad side of this is, this is the most trouble to update, as I actually have to manually go in and edit my captions on whatever comic that week to reflect whatever changes. As far as I know, anyway.
Is there a way to drop status updates here using word press?
Are her clothes falling or is it just me?
I think you are on to something
Lore for the scars behind the scars on page#3???
Maybe backstory to the scars on page 3??? “
shadow put them like that ya dumbass
Both you AND ComicGeek are correct.
She let them fall like that 🙂
Woah, no need for that language-
“Ahem, Cookies”
Aren’t you a little old
*SWIPE* COOKIES
and so I get to the more recent pages which means im almost done with the comic for now woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo(not really)oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo…. I hate my life
SHIT THERES NO NEXT PAGE YET.
Patience…
ya tink im rushing him or trying to? nah.
Yep.
It usually takes 4 – 5 hours to make a page from my experiences.
Hahaha ha ha haaa. I’ve not that fast. I’m slooooow and unfocused, generally.
