An update on Aikonia's current situation
Hello everyone,
We’d like to take some time to discuss what is happening with Aikonia and why it is still on hiatus. When Katie started working with us, the plan was for the comic to be a short one. A quick adventure through Aikonia’s past to introduce people to the world and how magic works in that world. But as time went on, we noticed the comic was doing really well and we wanted...

End of Chapter 3 and Katie's Departure
Hello everyone!
Yes, you read the title right: Aikonia’s third chapter is the last chapter that Katie will be illustrating. Katie’s work on Aikonia has been truly magnificent and the comic really wouldn’t have been the same without her amazing talent.

M&MD2: A Bad Case of the Vertical Ascension
Hello, Nick here again with a new item from Me and My Dinosaur 2!
Ever had one of those moments where you encountered one of those dastardly lofty ledges or expansive gaps and there were no bouncy springs around? You reach out with your tiny arms with all your might but there’s no hope. The walls and gaps laugh at you as you curl up on the ground, subjected to gravity’s merciless,...

M&MD2: Hero Time!
Nick here again!
And time to start introducing something special - the characters!
Here’s Hunter, our main hero! He’s a quiet boy, about the age of 13, and has a hard time making friends in his neighborhood - until he meets the best friend he could ever ask for. A particularly giant, green, and prehistoric type of friend.
You’ll primarily play as Hunter throughout M&MD2,...

Hello again, Nick here!
Now it’s time to introduce another enemy from Me and My Dinosaur 2: the Beebird! An aerial enemy that flies back and forth on a specific path, often becoming an obstacle in the middle of tricky or difficult jumps.
It has one eye that pierces your soul as it stares you down without a single blink. It enjoys the sweet taste of honey, insects, and seeing things fall...

In the middle is the Atomamutt: A...

Do you support webcomics? Take this one question survey:
1. Do you take the RSS feed of over 90 webcomics, rip the images, put them in your Android app, and then put your own advertisements next to them in order to make money?
Congratulations: If you said “Yes”, then NO, YOU DO NOT SUPPORT…

Aikonia Guest Comic Week
This past week marked the end of the second chapter of Aikonia and we couldn’t be more pleased with the results. Our readership has grown substantially over the past months and for that, we are thankful. To celebrate, we had a week of guest comics depicting some hilarious non-canon scenes from around the Institute. We really appreciate the time and effort the guest comic artists put in for...

Batman
Timothy Hely: So apparently it's a Batman/Ghostbusters day today in webcomics-land? How come nobody told me? :P
Andrew-David Jahchan: Damn it. Why isn't our comic ever on the same page as the others? >:(
Corina Dransutavicius: I don't know, guys. I think it would be pretty hard to work Batman into the comic. Although...
Corina Dransutavicius: Imagine this: A few students are walking down a hallway, chatting amongst themselves. A dark shadowy figure is hanging from the ceiling and watching them pass. We catch a glimpse of vivid pink hair as the figure leaps down in front of the students.
Corina Dransutavicius: Student A (shocked) says "Wha-?! Councillor! Where did you come from?"
Corina Dransutavicius: Ariel (complete with fish teeth and evil eyes) says "I'M THE GODDAMN BATMAN."
Corina Dransutavicius: Ariel then swoops away. Like a bat.
Andrew-David Jahchan: AHAHAHAHAHAHA

At the start of 2011, we were just beginning to work on Project: Velyria, our very first venture into...

M&MD2: The Dinosaur's Name
Hello, all!
Nick here again.
So, one of the many changes in “Me and My Dinosaur 2” is the new ‘system’ for naming your dinosaur. Rather than a dynamic text-entry, we’re sorting it down to a list of 36 names of which you’ll choose from. This is particularly because of the problem we had with the original where people named their dinosaur inappropriate or...
