Get Out The Vote!

Of course a side story could be Jinx & Swampy blowing things up ....

Lol "Did the Nova really sound as weird as they say?"

Doc Nickel

Huh. I wasn't even aware 'multiple choice' was an option. (Considering this is only the second poll I've ever posted.) (And it's worth noting, if the poll status isn't visible, that 'boobs' is in *second* place behind Swampy & Jinx. :) )

Nah what I meant was make it so people can choose more of one on this list. Cheesecake is going to win. That's a given. So if they also had the option to pick "side story" too, they might do that after picking "boobs."

Doc Nickel

Well, it's been something I've been wanting to do for a while, but time has always been a problem. I figure it's a win-win; we can have basically two storylines going at once, since some readers like the paintball stuff, some like the coffeeshop stuff, and others like the just-plain-mayhem.

Doc Nickel

Seven options isn't "multi choice"? Or do you mean 'Cheesecake (Pirta)', 'Cheesecake (Tawny)', 'Cheesecake (Cassie)', and so on? I wanted to give a wide selection- we can always do specifics later. Besides, as an artist, you should know as well as I do, it doesn't always work out well, when a reader says "draw this specific character, in this specific pose, wearing this specific outfit, and saying this specific thing". We tend to find it easier of if it's just "draw something with Radar in it". :)

Got to be paintball. But it's been a while since you blew up the shop. And no problem recycling Patreon stuff.

A multi choice vote might have given a better slice of information. I mean of course tits is going to win, so seeing what else gets picked is more useful.

Lots of the folks I support on Patreon mainly offer previews as our rewards, so I would have no problem with you reusing something you first produced for us here in the main comic. Especially if it allows you to take a needed break some time.

That ending would tie in nicely with Jinx's frame from the 2010-04-01 strip - http://www.the-whiteboard.com/autotwbaf10.html and the behinds the scenes break, in February 2021 - http://www.the-whiteboard.com/autotwb3251.html

A short story told by Jinx, in the future, telling the story (heavily redacted with pseudonyms) of one of Doc's adventures. Circle of listeners only visible as outlines throughout the telling (including flashbacks) and the final reveal shows the faceless audience to be FBI/CIA/DEA/LMNOP agents...

No problem with side stories in the main story.

I'm fine with putting the side stories into the main story. I think half of my patreon subscriptions are just for seeing things ahead of time 😀

If the side story comes back, I’ll just read it again, but a few extra strips would be sweet. I’ve also always liked the Q&As. But anything you put up will be an extra chuckle in my day that I will be grateful for!

Does not bother me too much if Patreon content gets posted in the strip at a later date. So long as the artist uses the time wisely. Like sick, or sleeping in, or just wants a week being lazy. You should not need to justify why you need time off work.

Dale Farmer

Definite side story. Ian McKellen (gun jesus) walks into the shop wanting to do some videos about wierd old paintball guns.

Derek Thornton

Of Course Jinx, Swampy, And one or Both of Jinx's Young Ladies ;) As A Side Story :D

No problem with putting them into the main story. I support a few other comic artists on Patreon and a majority use some form of the early access model for supporters.
