A pretty good Friday night, I think.

Cool new feature for the voting link, also omg omg omg cant wait are they gonna have their first kiss or is Midnight gonna interupt them or does that bitch Nightmare gonna show up
Also another good feature might be a fast link to another page for this comic like automatically going to page 35 instead of pressing ‘previous’ a bunch of times
I have no idea if that could be implemented here or not. It’s just sorta pre-built templates.
Fair enough
That should be some pretty basic coding. I haven’t touche web-dev in a while, but I think it’s just some simple php.
To be fair, there is a chapter select dropdown, that’ll get you close in the meantime, but I don’t think it would be all that hard to put up an archive page with links to every page.
Even if you do it manually, it’d be time consuming, but pretty easy. (WAY too time consuming)
Chapter Select is more than good enough in my opinion. You only need anything more precise when the chapters are 100 pages long like Dr. McNinja.
At some point they will level up to Friday the 13th? She’s going to want to be curious about human anatomy.
I’m sure she’s just as curious as anybody else. ;3
Im sure there will be a book explaining some of that stuff in the future for her to read (assuming she can read, if not there will probably be pictures)
I mean, they already watched Nightmare on Elm Street, so she’s seen a nurse get topless with a guy, then make out with him, and then tie him to a bed by spitting four projectile tongues at him. So I guess what I’m saying is that her understanding of human courtship is PRETTY ADVANCED.
Lol, yeah just wait until she tries that on him someday. XD
I haven’t seen Nightmare on Elm Street in so long that I forgot it 99 percent of it. I wasn’t sure if there was nudity in it but I remember early Friday the 13th haveing it. Which now makes me wounder if she thinks humans are opened minded about nudity?
Also Brandon has mentioned the Nox collecting books from the human world so they must share a common language.
Actually, Nightmare on Elm street 1 has very little nudity in it, you see a peek of Nancy’s nipple during the infamous glove coming out of the bathwater scene, but that pretty much it. Even when Tina gets gutted on the ceiling she’s still wearing clothes… as far as I can recall.
What surprises me is she has had no reaction to the gore. Monsters are after fear, not pain, and certainly not death or bloody dismemberment. At least this seems true for the sisters. She even scolded Mid for hurting him.
Speaking of other series, after how she reacted to his fear of girls I’m wondering how she would take to more subtle or psychological horror flicks. Different kind of fear, deeper, might taste better?
I don’t think Shadow really knows what exactly Tim is frightened of. All she knows was it had something to do when she lifted her dress to wipe the cake. I can see the next page of him panicking agian only slightly at the implications of him touching her tail now. “Ohhhhh.” It has dawned on him.
This is such a great story. Good job Brandon. BTW how has life been treating you?
Awww… such adorableness! Also… Tim, dude… both Shadow and Midnight are giving you these ”Look what big teeths we have” grins for while now. So, hopefully… *clears throat* ”One does NOT simply kiss Noxian” will click with him before he and Shadow share pasionate kiss… or well… try to kiss.
Tim, kiss her tail!
I agree with this statement.
Seems kind of bitter sweet
Hii brandon i realy love your work, but how tim and shadow begun to having sex XD (i´m curious)
You’ll have to wait and find out!
So, the way her tail is coiled around Tim’s arm must be the equivalent of a French Kiss. I guess that means Tim is going to have to show her how to kiss.
Coil that tail around his junk
“tailjob”
Back on pages 55 and 56, they did pledge to teach each other about their respective species.
Learning how each species/culture shows affection is as valid a thing to learn as anything!
Awesome work, as always… So horrible to wait one week for a new page.
And are we allowed to translate this comic (in french)?
CORRECT TIM
IT HER NONO SPOT
I have to say, this went from “maybe this will be interesting” to my favorite comic 10 pages flat. The drawing is crisp, and I love every aspect down the the little freckles on Shadow’s shoulders (well, besides the eyebrows on Tim. Those things are scarier than Shadow). The one question I have is that earlier in the comic, Shadow and Midnight held tails. Does this mean they’re in some kind of “romantic” relationship, or is it simply mean that close friends have a more “casual” approach to eachother? Really interested to see where this is going, I just wish it updated more often, but life is life, y’know? I’m currently in-between jobs, but the moment I get one I’d love to donate if things look good on my end. Keep it up!
Affection doesn’t have to mean romantic, it just means you like someone. Notice that when Mother Moonlight is introduced to Mortis they also cross tails. I consider it a friendly gesture, a hand shake, or holding hands. Certainly, I’m positive that it can also be a sexual signal, but perhaps one might need to get quite intimate before that aspect comes into play.
As you say, it’s mostly casual.
Don’t expect to see Shadow and Nightmare linking tails any time soon, you know?
A very clear and enlightening response about how a different culture/species handles that. A handshake can mean just as much, and depends on context and nature of the relationship. I approve sir.
Hello Brandon. I have a question regarding donations that may have been answered before I entered the site, so I hope you don’t. Have you ever thought of making a Patreon account, or do you have one? I wish to donate monthly, if possible. Great comic, for it’s story, design, and characters
