Incorporating A Mini Fleen Book Corner
Thanks to everybody for trying to gin up some conflict on my behalf; you’ll never know how much it touches me to know that webcomics were willing to start a riot on my behalf.
We’ll start with a little something for our readers in the northeastern corner of the US: looks like they won’t be digging up Tom Carvel after all, and I think we all know the reason: zombies.
Megatokyo Volume 5 dropped yesterday; gotta say, it reads much better in bulk than on a per-installment basis. I’d pretty much given up reading MT except in three- to four-week chunks because I’d lose the thread of the story. Of great interest are the timeline and reader’s guide in the back of the book:
- the former puts the whole plot into perspective — from strip 1 to the present day is roughly two months of story time, and everything from June 2001 forward represents a week
- the latter includes character bios so you can remember just who the heck everyone is
Now I’m starting to wonder just how big a story Fred Gallagher intends to make out of Megatokyo; at this point, I think I’d be surprised if we’ve reached the halfway point yet.
I recall Piro once saying something to the effect that he intended to take Megatokyo approximately 10…um…something. I forget whether it was chapters or books.

You can still get Cookiepuss cakes, but you have to special-order them 24 hours in advance.
…Just throwin’ that out there, because it’s pretty awesome.
…And because I want one for my birthday.
