Chapter 2 Page 23

From the Author

I'm quite pleased with the rate I've been managing to get pages done lately X3 Getting my head down and getting it done. I wonder how long it will last. Still, I gotta get as much as I can done now, because I have a couple of projects in the wings, coming up shortly...

Oh boy, am I going to reach chapter three of a comic for the first time...? How exciting!

This page is a perfect display of unrealistic expectations. Atty might pick him up, give him a cuddle, say nice work partner and sit him on his shoulder with pride... .... In your dreams lil' lizard dood.

See y'all soon.

Wow... What a huge response XD *cracks fingers* Lets go.

Planetseason: Mine too =) I'm guessing this will be the case for most people... That's one way to tug the heartstrings ;3

Pride1289: I remember that one XD; Not much about it 'cept it was sad.

Seav: Only if DT turns goffik and I couldn't have that D8

Bringer: If I could make plushies of him without my ass getting sued off I'd be onto a winner ;3

ZachLight: Nice analogy XD Could be worse, coulda been a none metaphorical butt kick.

E26: Yes.

Alexis_Royce: "Why did everyone fail to let me know about that until now."

supersayainblue: He'll take that. He'll take all the love he can get.

Marly: Thanks x3

u_queen: If he's not meant to be, he'll make it so regardless ;3

SPDark: I do too XD Though it is the greatest fashion of catastrophe ever.

flying-anger: He'll get used to it soon.

Floo Phantom: Love punt. That sounds obscene.

Mr Aids: I didn't notice until you said ;3 He's pretty fiiiine.

Peanutbutterpancakes: Thanks ;3 I'm finding them pretty fun.

Guest: I suppose the illusion of love is better than nothing.

Aeris: It's a hard knock life.

Leviathan42: Hahaha XD That might make quite a nice poster.

Czar Squid: Cheers xD

BK_1/VGKid: You foul person you ;3 *rubs hands together maliciously* If anyone gets angry about that I'll blame you kukuku.

Moo Moo: Maybe XD I figured so but thought it was kinda funny so added em anyway.

ice-alchemist: That's no way to win his love, let me tell ya...

RyoSoulreaper: But maybe it will. Maybe. And that's why he holds on.

the being: The only way he could be killed is in picture form and that won't happen ;3 ... Not unless I wish it so, that is... Mwahaha.

Jazeki: Lolled x3 I suppose he cares too little even to step on him.

Kid Garra: That's the way to do it ;3 Maybe this approach will produce the most badass pokemanz ever.

Slawth: I would love to do that if I wouldn't get sued... Really.

krstnmln: Heck he'll even settle for mild approval...

Kelpy: Thankyou x3 go for ALG, because most people are going for DT I think.

Chan Is No Longer a Guest: Ah =D You win~ I hoped someone might notice, you beautiful person you.

GreenNin93: DT hant got the memo yet it seems... Musta been cooped up in that ball too long.

FanFantasy: He just keeps him hanging on~

drew6464: awsum ;3

Cien_Kaz: I'll have to be sure to include him more XD

battybrain: What can I say, I suppose it's believable that DT wants to win his love and respect, people most want what they can't have...

lpwriterkalnz07: He'd take you up on that offer I'm sure x3

Kaitousblackwings: Depends when his journey ends. If he's got the whole of Johto to go through, maybe. If he's going home as soon as he's beat Kahn, not a chance.

Ichipowa: Haha glad to please XD

xwx101: Yeah, look on the brightside DT... You aren't in a vat of acid.

Christo556: This sure is a way for Atty to make himself unpopular, huh XD...

RammJacketMethod: You know what... Something along these lines goes through my head everytime I make a page like this lol. You put it down pretty elequently, nice work ;3

Nayalo: Yes, yes! And someday Satan will skate to work!

Christo556: He's working on it.

u_fido_u: He'd settle for him looking at him without disinterest, I think...

Christo556: You really don't like Atty huh lol.

BrandyCandyCane: That should be an interesting event... I'll have to see what happens ;3

xkrazydog: Maybe, but it's not supposed to be a particularly big emotion. Just back to the same old resigned face.

pat15: That's a true point. He might not even last long enough to evolve D:

Maowe: Hehe. Maybe he should cut his losses and run for it now.

Waiting For Your Whistle: Nevar D8 Those are Atty's precious stash ;D He's not even gunna give him his butts.

alarnia: Happiness could be just around the corner...

k33nbl4d3: It does sound iffy but it is an actual place in the game lol. It's the road that leads to the elite four.

SuperBiasedMan: If you squint and tilt your head sideways, you can see it.

Fred-Zexx: I like how you noticed ;3

FlareD: Now that would be telling! Maybe never.

Pawky: That's a nice mental image XD But he might mess up his shoes...

Speak92: I couldn't really give the definitive answer, but I imagine they do. What goes in must come out. As for the outfits, I'd love to go nuts and make them wear zanier stuff XD But I just let the character wear what they want.

FallenEmbyr: Haha, thanks XD Chuffed you're liking it.

SilverLion: Nothing wrong with hating him and finding him funny both ;3 And what can I say. I am messed up.

Moo Moo: Cheers XD Nice for him to get a lil love too <3

Asj: Yeah D8 So damned expecting. Someday he'll learn to appreciate that.

WolfyT: Will try XD

FidelisRaor: It only gets better from here on in.

Chelleromo: He's turned his cuteness factor up by 67% in order to try win Atty's heart.

Skwinky: And with each page Atty could care less and less ;3

Christo556: Yeah, when it comes to anyone other than Atty, I don't think he's lacking in love XD

Thanks for commenting guys!

;__; i'm so sad for charmander....
I have a serious soft spot for him since he was my first pokemon

oh noes! D8 Don't be mean to charmander! D< He is too cute and the episode where Ash got him was depressing. ;-;

Poor charmander! T-T Atty is so mean to him. Charmeander might get depressed and commit suicide *gasp*

I lol'd and Daw'd at the same time ;_;

SO CUTE

i want to hug it now

Poor Charmander, just when he/she thinks he got the light of love, he/she get's a kick in the butt by reality.

Poor Dragon Thing! Atticus hasn't yet learned how challenging it is to start out with Charmander. Those gyms are stacked against him.

Annoying lawnmower guy promises becoming an epic character with a twisted apparition in the future b(°_°)b

I want his sweater...Haha!

Aw! Poor Charmander!

Atty truly is horrible. He could've atleast given DT a gentle nudge with his foot as he walked by.

That or punted DT. Whatever works.

It's not often where the pokemon fights for the love of the trainer.

And how dreamy is Annoying Lawnmower Guy? Gosh.

i love dragon thing.

also, continuity sucks and I am impressed with your ability to draw backgrounds.

"He... He finally l-l-loves... me! <insert sparklies and hearts>"

Denied!

oh poor DT XD lol
to page before:Oh yes sweet! XD*so wants to see DT get kicked,evil*

*hugs DragonThing*

Though the hearts seem out of place :/

EVOLUTION! I can't wait till charmander evolves and turns Atty's jumper into a ball of fire!

DT was denied the love he wants from Atty. We all know that might never happen.

Atty must now die. Nope. It's already been decided.
The only way this can be avoided is if Atty hugs DT at some point in time. I must now kill Atty!

Concious: dumbass. Atty's a fictional character. you can't kill him. and DT really doesn't have feelings, as he is fictional, too.

Me: ...you gotta take the fun out of stuff, don't you?

All of DT's hopes and dreams for some love and affection, crushed. Frankly, I'm surprised Atty didn't step on him too.

Everyone is always saying don't be mean to Charmander...

If your all too soft on him then he will never get stronger!

(Evil laugh)

Alas, poor DT. I bet if you put him on a T-Shirt, everyone would buy one. And then buy more as gifts for their friends and family.

:( AWHH! poor charmander. all he wants is some loooovee

Ahahaha. I can't decide which I love more, DT's face when he thinks he might get some love, or Annoying Lawnmower Guy.

ilu. <3

LMAO AWW! POOR DRAGONTHING. He can dream. Oh yes, he can dream.
But they will never come true.
OH LOL I dunno if you did that on purpose but I love how the fire in his tail died a little! That's so sad, and yet I'm laughing.
I am horrible.

Aww Wow dragongthing looks really dissapointed, heh , can't say I expected much else from Atty XD

Aww man, DT just got left hangin....

i liek. >:D

Poor DragonThing DD':
I don't care how rude this kid is
or how weird it is that DragonThing loves a trainer like that, after all the shit it's been through
But srsly! Give it a hug, dammit! D: <

p00r charmander

ILL CARRY YOU!!

Poor little DT. DDD8 I hope that, at least by the end of the story, Atty's a little nice to him DDD8

lulz charmander = ":D yay atty pick me u-... aw.. T_T" xDDD lulz fail. and the annoying lawnmower guy. total Win.

you know somewhere in the world another charmander is being treated worse than this. So don't cry poor fellow.

awwwww, look at Charmander's(Dragonthing's) eyes at panel 2, so cute that i want to hug him :D.
his trainer is bad >:( ME DON'T LIKE!!!
Charmander deserves a hug and a treat!

1-800-LUV-POKE Even in today's booming society, abused Pokemon such as this Charmander suffer every day. They have nobody to turn to, not even their own masters. But you can help.

If you call today, you'll recieve a picture of the Pokemon you will be selected to sponsor, which means it will be provided with top-of-the-line Poke-care, Poke-chow and Poke-meds. So spread the "Poke-Luv", and call today. You won't regret it, you may be giving a Pokemon a second start!

(DO NOT CALL ACTUAL NUMBER. Certain restrictions apply, Poke-Luv Services Co. will not be held responsible for personal injury or damage to personal property during visitation of your Pokemon. If payments cease to come in from the donator, the Pokemon will be promptly put to sleep. We're not kidding.)

oh, poor poor Dragonthing O_O
one day he'll like you, don't despair Dragonthing!

GIVE THAT CHARMANDER SOME LOVE, ATTY!!!

poor charmander...all he wants is a hug

u_fido_u: yeah, and a thanks for the help.
Atty = fail
Charmander = WIN :D

You should have an episode where it's raining, so Atty will like..have to care.. XD
I love those charamander panels XD
Personally I love cabbage thing (Bulba)

Lol DT's expression could look a little less static in the last panel. I like subtle expressions D= but that was his expression in the previous pages and doesn't display as much disappointment anymore.

Seeing Atty's losing streak so far... I think Dragon thing'll take nearly an eternity just to turn into Charmeleon and God knows how much time to turn into Charizard

still,dragon thing is so disowned....

XD Poor charmander... he just wants to be loved.. and held... on the plus side at least he didn't kick you <3 if your nice he might let you eat his cig butts next... it seems to be quite a delicacy for him XD

D: i feel really bad for that charmander right now....hes so.... sad! ;_;

Charmander feels Atty's special form of love.

I like how Dragonthing's flame shrinks, haha.

Be nice to Charmander.
When will he be nice to it?

Poor dragonthing.
XD;;

I have this awful, awful mental image of Atty stepping on some poor little newbie trainer's little buggy pokemon, like a Weedle, and... yeah.
Ew, bug juice.
:C

do they bleed? do the real Pokemon hurt, like bleed and stuff? do they poo!?

anyway, where'd you get the designs for the cloths, they're awesome!

Awww poor thing, with his adorable arms in the air to be picked up >_< Soooo cute!!!! Damn you Atticus, how can you resist the adorableness?!

And to hell with continuity!! The bg looks great and you can't tell that you changed it up. It all looks amazing!!

I don't know whether to hate Atticus or be amused by him. He's so mean to Charmander, but at the same time he's snarky and funny. BTW, that was really messed up when you had that poor Pidgey run over by the lawnmower.

Btw, I just love the way atty looks in this page for some reason :D

I like Atty's face.
Hmm... Also, if I was the dragon thing, I think I'd be happy with just "that might not be such a terrible idea." (selfish thing, isn't he?)

Poor Dragonthing just breaks my heart!

Keep up the great work!

Aw, happy Charmander is happy...and then crushed. So terribly crushed.

DT may be the cutest thing I've ever seen ever. Why is he so cute?!

Yet another day when "Viridian City" is stuck in my head.

And I swear with each page I love DT more and more. ; 3 ;

YAY, lots of SJ and non-SJ people loves Charmander!!!
ME HAPPY :D

awwwwwww! poor DT. i love your art.

Poor Charmander! -gives him hugs- I'll take you home!
-steels Charmander away-

H0lyhandgrenade: your right, it's compassion he's in lack of

Atticus is a jerkface....
in other words sounds like me and him should be good friends from now on.

drew6464: TRAITOR!!! XP

I feel so sad for Dragonthing right now ;_;

Charmanders are my favorite Pokemon even

Poor little lizard Expecting a thank you from the teenage chimney.

Keep it up Hey, love the comic, keep it up ^-^

Awww! Poor dragonthing! All he wants is looooooooveee!
*sniff*sob*
I love Charmander. He was my first favorite! <333
Amazing, as always.

Oh, yes This comic is the best around
nothing's ever going to keep it down.
Keep writing, dude. I made an account on this site just to say that to you.

I guess here's a positive way for DT to look at it; he said "let us go" and not "I'm going" 8D AmIRite?

Your characters are so awesome ;A; Their distinct personalities and the way DT loves Atty (even though Atty doesn't care) is so awesome and cute ;w; This comic is so addicting~! Keep up the great work! 8D

You are rocking my eye sockets my dear!

DRAGON THING!!!!!!!! <33333333333333333333
I love it how he still loves Atty even though he's showed him nothing but horribleness!

GAH. I missed your comic so much! Wow, wow, wow. Lots of updates since the last time I was on...Alas Poor Charmander will have to come to terms with the fact that his Trainer is a ass. An imporobably lovable one, but nonetheless, an ass. :)

I-I think you did a great job, Dragonthing. ;D;

You make me want to huggle that charmander despite my terrible fear of being burned by that tail. >_>

NO MEAN TO CHAR!! Ah so mean (i would jump at the orpurtunity to get hugged by charmander!!!) so adorable.
why must he be so cruel to something so adorable!
(ps. charmander was my 1st pokemon. love him so much.)

*implodes* AAAH~
So cute

Charmander's affections were once again unrealized. Awww.

poor dragonthing...

chamander (charzard)is the best pokemon ever. :)

ZOMG...*tear* aw.....I'll hug you charmander....
(Pokemon-green. Starter pokemon was a charmander named Fuji)

Heee.... I love the label-sash on the lawnmower guy.

atticus needs to be slaped. HARD.

true...
also, did charmander's belly say "That might not be such a terrible idea?"

ohhh i feel so sorry for charmander T^T

Oh, this makes me think of that guy in the original season, that threw away his charmander, and Ash was like 'LUL, I'LL JUST SAVE THIS THING NAO, KTHXBAI.' and stole the guys charmander. YUPP.

omg ilu charmander.
we can hate atticus together

haaa.... poor charmander. but it is cute when making those eyes

hawa-chan :poor charmander. but it is cute when making those eyes

I agree, wait, who am i? h0ly? sorry ill stop now kthnxbai

anyways, later on you should make atty start to get a LITTLE nicer to the point where he will atleast try not to kill his pokemon.

Wait. Are you saying stranger and lawnmower guy are the same dude. Oh how disappointing. I thought random stranger would be recurring character, someone from Ash' generation who gives crypic "help" somehow sometimes.

Mind you this still might be the case. Good chapter still.

DX aaaaawwwww. poor charmander

Promising! Annoying Lawnmower Guy is back again! Aww, DragonThing looks so cute! Hmm. Is Dragonthing male or female? Atty is so mean sometimes, couldn't he see that Dragonthingie wanted a hug? Poor little thing, I can just see its 'why me' expression. Still, I have hope for Atty!
Aww, I hope that Ddragonthing at least gets a 'good job' before the adventure is done. Sigh. Lovely page, I'm enjoying everything!

Anyone see the mask on the sign? *spoiler comment >:D* *rants about Atty's heartlessness*

Aww this makes me feel so bad for charmander, I just wants to huggles him

This dude could be the first trainer...to probably have his starter run away

I HATE YOU ATTY! being mean to teh charmander! >:(

If by the off chance he succeeds, I'll recommend him for a challenge that'll truly test if he's the best of the best, the battle frontier!

@3jaustin: Or that he could be the best, if he wanted to be, at least.

Awwww I want that charmander so bad right now. I honestly think that I would have been a way better match for charmander than atty

I wonder, if you thought back here, that this would still be going strong six years into the future

just going back rereading for a bit
d'awww little DT just wants some love

Ohmygosh Atticus! be nicer to Dragon thing!

Atty MUST get hit for that
