Yeah... I mostly did this page because I wasn't too keen on how cutesy I made Atty look on the last page. Other drafts of this face I did were far more comical.

Just so you know, on that boys face is dirt, not a terrible skin disease lol. He's not himself unless his face is covered in mud. This comic will be fun for me because plenty of my characters can cameo in this, only in younger forms. In fact, there's only like... one child who will appear in this comic who was actually designed by me to be that age.

Phew I sure have a lot of projects coming up for me now. New illustration class... Other interesting and exciting things... But I'm going to try and get some buffer pages done. The next one should be fun, I hope you guys will like it.

Here we go kids,

DragonHat: Thanks XD Aye it took me a couple of goes to get it right, the first ones looks far stupider lol. But pulling my face while drawing it (as I always do) was a tad painfull.

Tailsgod: You can't jam out if you're a pokemon trainer!

Chaosmark101: Although admittedly without the battling it isn't much of a game. Oho it takes more than puppydog eyes to bring down the wall that is Atticus.

Bigbangboy: Your poor poor sister.

Krazeh: Those lines will make a witty appearance. I promise you.

Kitten meat: You know, often I feel you may really benefit if you started reading my authors comments.

Blix: It will be touched upon at some point XD

BlackCatz: Thankyou =D Good to know I'm not dissapointing.

BlueLink: Well presumably he's going to have to battle someone at some point. He can't just glare his way through the elite four. Or can he...

Seedless-acorn: That some people notice the little details like that is why I continue to do them =P

pwnlil: I'd have an imaginary mankey instead any day too.

Gizumimipichu: Thanks XD I normally draw those guys older so it was fun to draw 'em all icke and cute.

SuperBiasedMan: Thanks XD And it makes me even happier to see you found the alt text lol.

the being: Atty's glare eats souls.

Weaved: When my sister saw my face when I was drawing it I scared her.

Mrdude: If only there was someone to enforce it... I doubt those two will.

FanFantasy: Atty plays by his own rules XD But he'll get his comeuppance soon I'm sure I can't abide him being all badass for too long.

Chan Is No Longer A Guest: I dunno I get this mild impression that the feature would be abused. It would be quite the different game. No pokemon battles, for a start.

Falconer: Thanks XD That brightens me up.

Mr Aids: If they were closer, maybe. But even if he did have an infinite supply I doubt he'd want to waste any on ones such as them.

Pat15: The only way is up, he's gotta get better at some point.

Yamataro: Or constipated. That's how he looked in a couple of the previous drafts. Same thing I guess.

GothicVampireGirl: Hmm it seems to be working fine, just your computer I think =/ Hope it comes up for you later.

KittyCHOMP: Yeah maybe it would work on the pokemon just as well as the trainers. Send the rattatas and pikachus running.

Death-Destination: I'm looking forward to 'em I'll tell you that ;D

Liquidzilla1: Thanks XD I was getting a bit bothered bout how I draw hair so thats a relief.

Emruki: You're right, they're pretty creepy aren't they D8 kukuku just wait for that to be a gag when I get to mt moon lol.

Sosenka_va: He's the heart of the community ='D A shining example to all.

Fishuu: As will be said at some point by someone, Atty was pretty much born to be an old man XD

*Suki*: It's a new way of using Evil Look.

Ichipowa: Safe to say when I tried to make the expression myself to give myself a hand, I just ended up looking like I was in pain and somewhat constipated.

Renpao: The big question is, did he actually notice he'd done the glare or was it just an automatic response...

Grotesque: There's always an old man just stationed somewhere in the vicinity to warn you about the tall grass, about time someone did something practical about it. Although now that guy's probably out of a job.

Crystal: YOU MUST LIVE D8

Christen Banks: As amusing as that would be I don't want his journey to be too much of a replica of Ash's XD

Ryuchael: Maybe it's a good job. Who knows how powerfull he would be if he knew.

Hush2u2: His scariness made you fall in love with him huh XD? He's a strange guy. Dern your icon still makes me laugh lol *get over it h0ly*

Thanks for commenting guys!

Reply Bigbangboy, 05 Sep 2009 07:07 pm

Man, love the glare on Atty's face.. XD

Poor kids. >.>

Sublime art as usual, HOly!

Reply Seedless-acorn, 05 Sep 2009 07:52 pm

lol, i love how you can sort of see the bandaid on his forehead! xD

Reply pwnlil, 05 Sep 2009 08:06 pm

hehe smart kids

Reply gizumimipichu, 05 Sep 2009 08:32 pm

All Atty has to do is stare at someone and he can win a Pokemon battle easy quick! XD The kids are so cute! ^^

Reply SuperBiasedMan, 05 Sep 2009 08:56 pm

XD Even better than Atty's glare, I love the deflated expressions of Max and Toby :D

Reply the being, 05 Sep 2009 09:00 pm

.....atty's stare is all powerful.
Did you see those kids expressions in the next panel? atty brainwashed them so they dont think he exists. epic.

Reply Weaved, 05 Sep 2009 09:02 pm

XD I love his glare!

Reply mrdude1228, 05 Sep 2009 09:12 pm

Cheateeeer! You can't just keep walking! That should count as a loss, and he should lose half of his money.

Reply FanFantasy, 05 Sep 2009 09:43 pm

And start the game over! But he's just too badass.

XD Atty, no, that isn't how it works when you gotta be the very best, that no one ever was....I'm getting off topic.....

Reply Chan Is No Longer a Guest, 05 Sep 2009 09:54 pm

I wish we we're given that option in the games.
"ACCEPT AND WIN VICTORIOUSLY
or
GIVE THEM THE GLARE FROM HELL AND STOMP AWAY"
That would've been very appreciated. D<

Reply Falconer, 05 Sep 2009 10:09 pm

This page...is epic win...XD

That is all.

Reply Mr Aids, 05 Sep 2009 10:11 pm

He should have flicked the cigarette at them.

We all know he has an infinite supply.

Reply pat15, 05 Sep 2009 10:20 pm

i remember twins in the early part of diamon/pearl/platinum who say you're a weak looking trainer i wonder what would they say to atticus XD
well then again i had pretty good leveled pokemon with me but atticus has been in only one battle plus he lost >.>

Reply Yamataro, 05 Sep 2009 11:30 pm

His glare alone will make people not want to battle him. He looks cranky.

Reply GothicVampireGirl, 06 Sep 2009 02:26 am

XD all I can see is the thing about the two kids called Max and Toby XD man that's enough to make me laugh.
Can't see the page >_> I think my internet may finally be on the way out TT-TT

Reply KittyCHOMP, 06 Sep 2009 03:50 am

I wish I could do that when faced with a random battle.
I hate those things.

Reply Death-Destination, 06 Sep 2009 04:42 am

Aw they got scared! I wonder what pokemon gym leaders will be like when they meet him!

Reply liquidzilla1, 06 Sep 2009 05:47 am

Epic, you draw hair very nicely, it's getting better the more you draw.

Reply emruki, 06 Sep 2009 11:08 am

Damn, I wish that was an option in the games. D: Frickin' creepy mountaineers would always jump me in the caves: "Feisty, ain't ya?"

Reply sosenka_va, 06 Sep 2009 12:58 pm

hahahahaha omg Atty is so social and nice <3

Reply fishuu, 06 Sep 2009 04:45 pm

Oh my god Atty XDD How can you be a scary old geezer when you're only 14??

I really love how you shaded his hair ;g;

Reply *Suki*, 06 Sep 2009 06:53 pm

XD Wish I could do THAT in the pokemon games.

Reply Ichipowa, 07 Sep 2009 12:28 pm

xDD man i wish i could glare like that <.< it would save me a whole bunch of friggin time xDDD

Reply renpao, 07 Sep 2009 11:00 pm

LOL! Now I wish the games would implement "glare" as one of the options...perhaps it's more useful (and natural!) than using Repel repeatedly. XD;;;

"Strange kids". LOL. Your face, Atticus. XD;;

Reply GrotesquePrince, 08 Sep 2009 02:31 pm

YOU MET HIS EYES YOU HAVE TO BATTLE!!!

Haha thats great. And i always wondered why every route had tall grass, considering not everyone has pokemon.. I assumed they were just exiled to their hometown :p

Reply Christen Banks, 09 Sep 2009 11:47 am

ATTICUS SHOULD BE ATTACKED BY A FLOCK OF FEAROWS JUST LIKE ASH.

I'm sure even if there was tall grass Atty would just find a way to burn it all down.

Reply Ryuchael, 12 Sep 2009 01:27 am

hmm... I guess he doesn't realize how scary he really is...

Reply hush2u2, 12 Sep 2009 06:02 am

Bahahaha, you STUUUUUUPID children!

Aaaaah, I think I just fell in love with Atty a little ~ I hate pesky little kids. ^^ I wish I could glare at them so hard they go away...but I can't. (._. )

Reply SeethingIguana, 14 Sep 2009 05:45 am

I just read your whole comic so far. It's really amusing. It's funny to see a Pokemon "hero" who isn't entirely willing. As I'd imagine, not everybody would be gun-ho about it, really.
(Although I would be. ;_;)

This is the 10th page in a row that has not loaded for me. I really want to read this comic, but I can't if the pages don't show up...

Reply MegaSimpleUsername, 31 Mar 2011 04:11 pm

So, these kids are characters you already made, huh? What are their names?

Reply FreddieHair, 17 Jun 2011 06:39 am

GLARE.

Reply DaydreamingDaisy, 26 Jun 2011 05:29 pm

Glare! Aww, such cute kids. I love the little secret messages. So their names are Max and Toby, huh? So cute. Atticus has one hell of a glare. He scared the kids so much and he doesn't even understand why.
Atty can never look too cutesy, his inner grumpiness always shines through. Maybe when he's sleeping, it can be a little hidden. Oh, it's mud! Clears my fears right up.
Hope you're having fun in that new illustration class! Love the page!
