i should have bought shares in Pink Paint Corp® before you resumed updating

Quite possibly my favorite page so far.

yes!!

Beautiful, holmes. So happy to see new Forming from you. I couldn’t care less how long it takes. I don’t give eclipses shit for taking a while between moving, mind-blowingly beautiful events, after all.

lol at Death’s double chin

so fucking sweet. i hope those guys have good thermal insulation on their butts though, riding a phoenix seems like it could get painful after a while

Sorry to hear it Jesse, I know how hard it is to work when you’ve been dumped.

so very good

holy shit you’re right

But we’re not sure it’s not also a memory!

That is always a hard place to be in. It’s also interesting considering your statement regarding Forming being a workthrough for a previous relationship.

I’ve been dangerously close to shooting my mouth off about this subject on the internet too much lately, but I can’t help but say a couple things: If my fantasies were to somehow come true, and we could go back in time, I wish we could have made all of S6 available to see at once, Netflix style, so viewers could shotgun the whole shabang. Shabang? I know that’s not even close to a possible thing in any way, but I think it would have been cool if we could have done it in my fantasy world. Also, maybe that’s a TERRIBLE idea.

Anyway to answer your question more directly – No. None of us really have any clue or insight as to why S6 is getting broken up into these stops and starts. It’s some kind of programming strategy. It’s hard for me to comment on it, because it’s not my job to decide what’s good or bad for the show. I have no real idea how ratings numbers work or how to optimize that kind of thing for the network. I just write and draw stories. So I’m gonna keep doing that end of the thing and let other people worry about putting us on the air, regularly or irregularly or never. How can I get bothered by a thing I don’t understand? I would be making all kinds of dumb assumptions if I let it bother me. That said, at the end of the day, does it bother me? Yes.

S6 episodes should finish out starting in April, and that there are some killer eps coming… one in particular that I worked on that I feel like is the most thematically dense and crazy thing I’ve ever written. I think S6 finishes out super strong. I wish we could just shotgun it.

As of now, Manly is just going to stay a pilot. We’re not developing any new episodes. There wasn’t enough youtube interest to justify the financial risk of making more. We pitched it around to a few places, but no one seemed interested. It might be a thing where it could get picked up in the future by someone, but who knows. Meanwhile I’m pitching a new idea to some studios who can’t be named at this time.

I loved Manly!

This is the best comic ever

It’s my feeling that the time slot changes and hiatuses hindered the flow and momentum of our storytelling designs in S6. That’s based on no research into viewership numbers and demographics etc… I can’t pretend to understand any of that stuff. So if I’m being really objective, my opinion on this matter isn’t worth much. I will say that I’m looking forward to the S6 blu-ray so people can watch the season as a coherent journey.
