First off, I wanted to say how absolutely great it was seeing all of you regular JEFbot readers in the comments when I posted the previous strip. It had been SO long since my last comic I knew it was entirely possible that I could post the strip and not get a single response. Anyway, you guys came through with all the enthusiasm and awesomeness you’ve shown in the past and I just wanted you to know it was appreciated. Y’all are seriously THE BEST.
Okay, so it’s a holiday miracle – I was able to get another strip up while we’re still in 2016! With any luck I’ll be posting the next strip – the conclusion of the Peppermint Elf storyline – before things get super busy again. Right now things don’t look too good for P.E., but things rarely go well for those who encounter the Bat, ya know?
I sincerely hope you all had a great time celebrating wherever/whatever/whoever you celebrate during this season and I wish you all a Happy New Year!!! I’m looking forward to 2017 even with all the insanity that’s been going on in the world, lately. Let’s all hope for a good one.
OH! And here’s a little something I’ve been working on and thought I’d share. These are still in the prototype phase (this being ver.2) and my sewing skills are still developing but let me know what you think! I’ll post some more pics from different angles in a separate blog post, soon:
If you missed the beginning of this tale, go here:
• The Christmas Bat VII : The Peppermint Elf
Previous tales of the Christmas Bat:
The Christmas Bat I • The Christmas Bat II • The Christmas Bat III • The Christmas Bat IV • The Christmas Bat V • The Christmas Bat VI
More of Christmas bat :3
yep! and we have just 1 more (and an epilogue) left in this storyline, Balorth! and CHECK. YOU. OUT. you have dethroned the reigning King of Firsting, Flame_fingers, for the first time in 9 strips!!! wear them well, as they have Flame_fingers avatar engraved in gold on ’em: 😎
Also,when can I get this batplushie.They look awesome.
thanks, Bal! i’ll keep you in mind if i put these up for sale. right now they take SO long to make, but if i can work that out and there’s enough interest, i’ll see about selling them in the BOTshop! 😀
Wear them proudly mate! They have been with me for a long while
the king is dead! long live the king!
Whoo! Another Christmas Miracle in my list this year! The comic continues! X3
HA! yep, the comic continues, IK! hoping i can get another strip out in like, the next week or so before it’s back to the grind. hoping, hoping!
Make an Abraxas plushie! We love you Jefbot. 🙂
I’ll buy a prototype Bot Bat 😀
i’d LOVE to do an Abraxas plushie, DJ, but he would take even longer to make than TCB! we’ll see, tho. if i get faster at this sewing thing maybe it’ll seem less daunting. i’ll put you down for a future Abraxas and proto-TCB. 😉 xoxo!
The dream is over! But double update! That softens the bliw
the dream is still alive, F_f!!! you’re gonna have the Shades o’ Firsting record a LOOOOoOOng time, methinks! and since you set the record, send me an email w/ your mailing address – i’d love to send you a JEFbot print or sketch or something as a reward. 😀
Aww that would be awesome! Thanks bot! As soon as I’ve got somewhere with a fixed address I’ll send it over (Kinda nomad for a couple of weeks)
cool! no rush.
It just took me 3 months to get back home and open a po box lol. Sending that email out today!
He’s kind of cute in a creepy way. Thank you for the update and have a wonderful new year.
heheh. that’s what i’m going for, Kris! a cute/creepy combo.
Happy 2017
or just ya know Not 2016
So awesome that you’re back, I remember what a big part you were of my online life (and still are; TheFlamingonator is my go-to username) and I am thrilled to see that you have returned!
It’s a great ending to 2016, and bodes well for 2017 (hopefully)
😀
happy happy new year, TheFlamingonator! it’s awesome to be back posting comics and talking with you. this comic and community was a GIANT part of my life a few years back, too, and while i can’t devote the kind of time i used to, i’m hoping i can get back to it now and then in 2017. we’ll see, but i’m hopeful! 😀
Well, you may’ve not turned feral, Bot but that bat is as wild as I remember.
yep! it would take a LOT to tame the Bat, Anime fan! not sure any mortal could do it – Santa’s the only one who has any kind of sway over him.
You upheld your promise! Now, please don’t go away for another year, that would be sad. I wanna go back to reading this regularly 😛
i did, HiTS! and going to try my best to continue to make comics (it’s been awesome getting back into it) it’ll probably be on an erratic schedule, tho. but i’ll make another promise to not let it go another year before putting another one out! (actually, i JUST posted another one so not a difficult promise to keep. *sinister laugh*) ;D
