Ah, 78 pages, and time for Hiatus once again. I've really enjoyed this story arch, which has finally come to an end, and we are ready to move in a new direction, story wise.

However, my life is also due to make a dramatic change, and I am to become a father as of January, so webcomics may be slow in returning. Needles to say, check back in April for updates. Remember that this comic is about the transition (erm) ation from boyhood to man hood, and what journey is not complete without fathering children!?

I would like to thank my mates, who inspired many of these stories, first and foremostely Tama Weavers, whom happens to be turning 21 right . . . NOW! May your youthful idiocies live on in Reave.

I would also like to thank Callum Liddell, who is to join me in the exciting world of being a father (we're not gay . . . and how would that work?) Callum moved away at the end of our senior year (much like that chris character . . .) and now resides in Australia with his fiancee.

Callum Lidmilla, whom we called Chilli (because Callum L was still confusing when there are TWO CALLUM L's!), my thanks to you also. Your ability to be a dick at the most inappropriate times will not be forgotten, you dick :)

A HUGE(!) thank you to Mia Langen, my fiancee and mother of my unborn child, for putting up with my moodys I threw when the hands of my drawings came out weird.

And one last big thank you to anyone who has taken the time to read my comics. I enjoyed making them, and would like to think that I made someone out there smile. Your support is appreciated.

See you next year!

Things have changed alot since page 12!

Last night I found out that there is in fact a more terrible (than ever before) movie about Troy than Wolfgang Peterson's version. I'm still getting shudders :(

It may be obvious that I wrote this one last year? If you look closely at the whiteboard next to Traceys head, you will notice a cartoon of a boy vomiting next to a lady with a stroller. That boy is the real Chilli, from real life who vomited on the way back from real Paihia after a weekend that inspired this story arch.

I was going to make a comic of the incident, which was terribly funny, but have run out of time. I like that it's there though :)

I've been looking forward to making this comic for soooo long. "Got an eye problem" was a favorit saying of any given 10 year old to anyone older than them on the way to school, f they happened to glance at said 10 year old (I attended an area school *sigh*)

It was funny that when they first met my friend Callum Liddell (whom Chris is based on) they could not comprehend that wearing glasses indeed meant that he had an eye problem!

The comics have been looking off lately. I think I'm so used to drawing scenes in the dark - less detail. And now its like the morning after a night with little to no detail, and the details you can see are awful. Just terrible. My drawings of late have been like the ugly girl you wake up next to.

Soon there will be a big change to the narrative and need for backgrounds in the comic I think, which will smooth out everything nicely, and may maybe might just mean an improved schedule . . . perhaps.

Majority delayed comic, simply because I had writers block, and the ending still isn't that funny. I was going to keep going with the clueless taser conversation, which actually happened with my brother one groggy morning.

Any who, I had to move things along as this flashback within a flashback is taking FOREVER!

Someone please tell me if I'm spelling taser wrong, my Mac seems to think so. . .

My second police car yet. I need to change the story as to write in less police cars because I cannot draw them for shit (I don't draw them for shit . . . I don't get any money for this since I took down the google ads. My paypal email is nikdowman@gmail.com, feel free to send me money ;D) Thats weird. Is it the end of my bracket, or a smiley face with a stupid nose?

Any way, I should really not have an excuse for the police car thing, for some reason there where three of them parked outside my flat.

Maybe I live in a pedophile neighborhood!?

I'll get a pedometer to find that one out!

She was originally going to say "My mum was an only child" But to stop any concerns that her dad might have siblings, meaning she may have cousins, I put it down as "My parents were only children" But that was just WRONG!

I got my first hate mail on Sunday! According to Audrina Sotelo; "Your comics really suck"

Audrina, I appreciate your opinion, which you are fully entitled to, and I have stated that I quite enjoy feedback, I don't care whether it is positive or negative, it still means that people are viewing my comic, which in its self is great, but I never began this for that reason.

This comic was created as a way of expressing myself, as a tribute to my home town, my friends and my way of life (also to kill some time!)

What I do not appreciate, Audrina, is your sheer lack of courage, in sending this as a secret email, rather than posting on the site. If you wish to give your point of view on my comic, you surrender your right not to be ridiculed by others,

I guess what I am trying to say is enjoy your years subscription to NZ dating as a transsexual. Perhaps that will let you think twice before surrendering your email.

Love,

Nik

I was discussing my newer strips with a good friend of mine, and commented that I had the hands better, but my feet still look like turds. she said "shoes can stay crappy anyway- ur depicting real life in Taipa, right? I dont even remember what shoes people wore. Except Tracey with her strapy sandels, and Callum with his silver spacey shoes. And Sjay and Raewyn wearing heels to school- What the hell? I just ran around bare foot most the time."

Thats about all you need to say about Taipa. Needles to say, this still made me laugh my head off. There it goes >

Alright, I am finally back! It was a long Hiatus, but I did heaps of coooool stuff, like; Rode a horse, held a land mine (before the army came and took it away) Put a chisel into my hand (and not the tendons click. audibly.), Nearly caught Darkrai, And I got engaged! Weird to think all that happened in only 5 months. Comic wise, I only made this one, but I will be pumping them out quicker.

Any who, I hope you enjoy the new "season" of comics, there will be mishaps, romance, enemies, aaaaaaaand nudity. More nudity.

I get to draw boobies!

Important announcement below. Enjoy the comic.

Alright, so due to heavy work load in real life, I have reluctantly had to take a month off. Kind of like hiatus, except I will not be smoking crack or resting at all.
I will hope to make a small back log during this time so I can keep updating 5 comics a month.
I'll only be gone until next year.
If anybody has any feedback to the comic so far, please post below. I will appreciate all comments.

Well . . . unless its about Semiconductor Microchip HDTV Genetics. . .

Have a merry really-pagan-holiday-but-suited-the-Catholic-church-to-convert-people-by-saying-it-was-gods-son/gods-birthday-mas and I will see you next year!

It's no secret that Ren is based on Renius from Conn Igguldens Emperor series. Simply because he;s my first main fictional character. He's the combination of every single neighbor I've had over the age of 60.

I don't know why I keep mocking childrens t.v. shows. I was watching saturday morning cartoons and this song just got stuck in my head. It got me thinking "why is there no one lazy in lazy town? Thats just redundant. Can't they call it active town? Or pedophile town?" I think the origanal joke got lost after researching Lazy Town a little bit, so I made up for it by making Sportacus into a crip.

2008-07-04T22:48:00.004+12:00

Alright, Making up for lost time. My theory here is that Bills colon is shaped like a penis. How? I don't want to know.
I hope everyone had a good Truck Protest day.
It probably didn't have as bigger impact as the "foreshore and sea bed" Hikoi, But it took them ages to get from Kaitaia to Wellington, so it built the tension. At least the Truckies admitted to driving between towns. And the Truckies got their act together cos they're all over the place.
For the Maori's, you know, as soon as they left norhtland they where like "Is that all of us?"
Anywho . . . Don't watch Hancock

Panel 3 may look a little funny, I origanaly drew it not naked but a reliable sorce stated that I was indeed naked. though I hope that wasn't untill after "Circle of Death" that I was naked. Naked.

Haha! Twist much? No Luke is not a bum, Chilli didn't win $10,000 with his friends Reave and Jessie. This is pretty much taken right out of a film I made in 7th form. You can see the trailer here.

And by now you will have learned my terrible secret. I can't draw hands!

Alright, so I've got a new pen, so the drawings are a lot more crisp. For this strip i got a bit lazy and just drew it without a script. I had a vague idea of what i wanted. a kinda exposition slash winey teen type thing. I think it came out ok.

A special something

2008-05-17T08:10:00.002+12:00

So just a little out of the ordinary. Just so everyones aware, the current story that this strip interrupted takes place at the end of 2006, so there's a bit of a leap there. This is almost the exact conversation I had with a caller yesterday. I didn't tell her to fuck off though. thats just bad customer service. The one man star wars trilogy is defiantly worth a look though. I'm going to it I hope. . . .

Page Huit . . . I think thats eight?

2008-05-12T09:31:00.008+12:00

Maaaaaaaaan I hate ihug! 30 min wait times and they hang up on you instead of putting you on hold!? Anyway, Im stoked because I got my new snowboard! Now I can work on my mad skills that i don't have in this video

A friend of mine had a father, and that father had a habbit of calling people love. he called me love once i think on accedent, and rather than be embarressed about it, he just kept calling us love. He's also a pom.

This conversation is almost the exact replica of one i had during a statement i gave in a similar situation. I didn't really want to have it read in court. . . i didn't want to sound like a dick.

O.k, so if you've got this far a: my spell check is working and b: there's a little interest. this is a web comic is a little bit fact and a tiny bit Fiction. If you know me, look out because you might see a bit of a cameo. This whole thing is mostly about funny situations I've been in. The lat 5 today, for instance, portray what happened to me and two friends the day of a leaving party, and it was the day that marked a huge transition in my own life, and that was the transition of boy to man. the fact I've gone with transitionation is that Transitions was taken . . .
