He’s just an old school Musician who wrote some really emo music, but for it was a thing… like the cure. I made the joke be in a way that even the new girl didn’t get it, so she’s thinks Morrissey’s Morosity is a band.. when in fact that’s just what the Singer of the Smiths does, cry on most of his tracks. :]Thanks! I’m glad I made the changes. The site loads SOOOO much faster now.
wow! The art in this is truly amazing! Looove it! Also love the Smiths reference haha. I always think of the Perks of Being a Wallflower when I hear the Smiths
Has anyone else noticed that all the girls in this comic (all two of them so far) have some sorta power? And what the fuck, chrome doesn’t recognize euthanize, but it recognizes sorta.
Yeah, you’re right… Joseph’s only power seems to be pissing people (and animals, and God) off. :)Well, Chrome isn’t perfect (as I’ve noticed over the last year or so of using it).
Hmm… I need to pay more attention, this comment was intended for Joenis comment on the poor spell checking. What I meant to say to you, is it may not be perfect, but it is damn close.
I forgive Chrome for its crappiness more than I should really. It’s just better than most other browsers… I miss some of firefox’s awesomeness though… but its still crap in comparison to chrome.
LMAO, don’t sweat it man, I know how you feel. I’m a god awful speller and sometimes I post before I realize how dumb I sounded. I’ve just made a habit now of double if not triple reading my comments before I post. >< I wish there was an edit comments option too. :/ The only person on the site that CAN edit is me, which does no good for you guys.
You know, I just noticed that 4,999 people like LAWLS on facebook. I would make it 5000, but I don’t have a facebook account, and I refuse to make one.
It fluctuate anyway… anytime i write something offensive (ie cock joke in the last strip) I tend to lose one or two people, but then sometimes I make them right back when new readers come in and like the humor. So, it’s all good. :]
Love it. The new design works wonderfully with firefox. Emo girl can pull a Coban. Thanks for entertaining yet again Joenis. Side projects….. are you ever gonna get back to blue?? That one was as awsome as L.a.w.l.s. (side note stole sad panda artwork. Loving it.)
Thanks man! at first I was iffy about the design changes, but overall I’m far more pleased with the site now then before. Does it feel faster for you as well?I am gonna get back to ABlue.. i just need to work a few things out first. Namely, I’m working on a downloadable mini comic for L.A.W.L.S. to help raise money for L.A.W.L.S. Volume 1.. THEN i have to put volume 1 together! Once those two things are out of the way I will be focusing fully back on ABlue. :] I’m excited to start that story back up, ESPECIALLY with my recent growth spurts as far as artistic quality goes. ABlue will be top notch when it begins again. Glad you’re still interested in that one.
Well the site does load faster. Not having the lag of the old design. Might because of the less stuff to load. It does seem to be a bit crisper as well.
Yeah, I’ve been doing my best to reduce the amount of images on the site. Sadly it unavoidable at times. For instance, ads pay my bills… so I can’t NOT haven them. :/ Oh well.
Do the people in this world dress according to their powers? If so is it possible that these mighty, powerful women might morph into something else? Something that showcases the range of their powers.
Not exactly… I’d say their abilities more so match their personalities. Cadence has a fiery temper (Fire) and the new girl has a sorta aloof darker view to the world (Shadow).
the only thing I’m able to see at the moment is your saying Power Rangers over and over! ^_~ But that MAY be because I’m extremely exhausted from all these comics I’ve been working on. D:
It goes further than that even. The Blue Ranger was a boy, the pink was a girl and the red one was what i believe to be a Native American Indian… aka, Redskins. I noticed that when I was abut 13 or so and ALWAYS thought it was funny. Best of all was that the Green Ranger didn’t really fit a sterotype, so they made him a White Ranger instead! WHITE POWER(ranger) durp.
I practically idolized the (original) Green Ranger when I was a kid. (Green is my favorite color, and I share my first name with his alter-ego. :) )I’ve read that there’s even a TV Trope named for him… the Sixth Ranger! In any case, I doubt I cared at the time about the stereotypes used in the show.
Back when I watched it, the Green ranger was probably my favorite as well. If I remember correctly I had a crush on the Pink Ranger too! lol Oh memories. XD
I never thought about the red ranger being native American but I did notice the blue and pink ones, I just didn’t think it was a big deal that a boy was blue and a girl is pink.
oh and another thing was that all of the badguys were only ever played by any other minority, never a white person, like the first evil lady was like vietnamese or something, or thats how i remember ityou can take that a little further the zords that they had are also with their race, the native guy had an eagle or hawk, an asian had the dragon(I think), one year the black guy had the gorilla, and so on
Yeah about her design…I really don’t like criticizing your work, it’s really well done but why is the emo girl so…you know. I mean I understand not wanting to make her really well endowed but why wouldn’t you give her a standard bust size? Do you get what I mean? I’m not saying your comic is bad in the slightest, just wondering why you’d draw the character so flat chested.
haha, well, I made the conscious decision to keep there busts a bit smaller. I get sick of comics that use boobs as the single way to get men interested in their comics. Personally, I like woman with B-C ranged bra sizes anyway. Since both Cadence and this new girl are my ideal looking woman, I wanted to reflect that in my art. In my head, Cadence’s are in the C range (she’s slightly more curved/heavy) and the new girl’s are in the B range (she really petite, probably no more than 110lbs). Though, I do have plans to add more characters to the story down the line, one of which is another girl and in her concepts she’s got pretty solid High C’s to D cups. Cos, your need for boobs will eventually be answered. ^_~ I just wanted to start the comic in a fashion that I wasn’t boob centric.
Cadence is fine I was just saying the emo girl doesn’t look like a girl sometimes. I’m not a pervert, I didn’t come here to ogle drawings, her breasts are kind of non-existent is all.
Yeah… I’ve kind of noticed that that is kind of starting to become the formula for every frickin’ webcomic ad I’ve seen recently. Take girl character, put in skimpy outfit, slap comic name on it and crop it down to 160 x 600 or w/e. It’s kind of annoying, although I do admit that, being a dude, I still click on them if the art looks decent. That actually makes it worse, though, because I’ve found some pretty good comics that way that should be able to attract readers because they’re all around awesome, not just for the main character’s tits.
Curious, did you find my comic via an Advertisement with Cadence on it? Obviously I understand the power of sex appeal for advertising, I haven’t made a single ad with Joseph on it for a reason. Even I fall victim to that. I always click on ads with “pretty” art, and if that art so happens to have a pretty girl on it, it’s like an added bonus! XD
I’m pretty sure I found your comic via one of Scott’s. Although I have noticed that the ads of yours featuring Cadence tend to just have her face in it, as far as I’ve seen. I can’t remember if I’ve seen a full tower ad that features her in all her glory. At any rate yours certainly don’t take the fan service to a level that I find irritating.For example, there’s one ad I saw on almost every page while reading through the archives of Between Failures (which, coincidentally, you just linked) that featured a chick with boobs twice as big as her head and was animated so that they were “bouncing”. I like me some titties, no lie, but I refuse to click on that ad because it just makes me go “Jesus… really? Srsly!?” Which is kind of silly because Exploitation Now remains one of my favorite webcomics to this day.
Ah, yes. That makes sense then. I’m glad him and I share a lot of the same readers. :]Even though I don’t do Cadence boobie shots, i still use her as the comics mascot for her sex appeal. :]
God, know EXACTLY what ad you’re talking about… I actually did a quick search for it so i could use that as my reply.. but I couldn’t find it so I just looked briefly thru their archive and BAM! BOOBS!
I’ve never looked at Exploitation Now.. but from the name alone… I can figure what I’m getting myself into right away. D: lol
First, I enjoy this sites upgrade. It’s nicer than it was, methinks. Second, I like the black/purple shadow powers of the new girl. Artistically, and story-wise. And I had no problem with breast size.
Haha, I’m glad you don’t mind the breast the way they are. :] I think there’s a lot to say when men can find more than just gigantic boobs attractive about a women. In all honesty theres a breaking point when full size breast suddenly just become heaping lumps of fat rather than nice feminine things men don’t have. lol Guess a lot of anime artists look over that fact. >
No problem. I hold onto the self-created adage to not hold back compliments… save with women I don’t know. I’m not about to go up to some random woman and say some synonym of “Your figure pleases me”. That’s just creepy.
the epicness of this is just 0.0, i am loving the new design, i see why it took you a little longer to draw this, just to saw its looking fracking awesome, each panel i just kept going back and just staring at the beautiful art, the second panel, her glowing eyes remind me of something, cant think of what thoughi should have checked last nite, i thought “na, there wont be that many comments when i check tomorrow” but damn i was wrong
oh and about the bust size, these girls are more to my liking, i agree i wouldnt want it to basically become a comic about T&A, these women are more to my liking compared to the ones that if they hug you too hard you might suffocate
:] Told ya it would be worth it! I’m semi scared though that too keep up this quality I may have to bump LAWLS to a Twice a week thing or something. :/ Cos MAN was this one tough. Obviously I’d make up the difference by starting that other comic I mentioned though.Either way, that second panel of the new girl is probably artistically one of my all time favorites. I’m probably gonna run an ad campaign with that on it soon.
As much as I enjoy some good ol’ T&A This comic will never become a T&A comic. I’ll make jokes about them… but I’d rather this comic be something were you enjoy the characters for who they are… and if people find them attractive, I think its better if people have to imagine what they’d look like in real life/naked/etc.
oh i totally knew it would be worth it, and it is more than worth it, and yea that second panel is just awesome, and brings accrossed the feel of “dont f*ck with me” persona, using that as an ad campaign would be awesomePersonally i would be fine with Twice a week thing, i can understand that it would take some extra work, but damn it pays off, I think people would understand if you had to take some extra time to make the comic even better(not that i thought it could get any better than it already is)
god knows i like some T&A comics, i read oglaf all the time, but the mystery of them is more alluring to me, that and they could be so awesome that if you tried to draw them that way they would come into existence just to give you an ass wooping, with fire and darkness
oh and the music reference i got right away, it would have been funny if the goth chick said something like “who died and made you Queen of the scene” that makes a reference to the album that the song is on if im not mistaken(The Queen is Dead) and shes kind of the scene type of girl
I’m sure as long as I’m supplying everyone one with quality comics people will be ok with the decision… especially If I’m supplementing the difference with a frequent gag a day comic. :]See, with Oglaf on the other hand, I love that about the comic. It’s a blatant non-censored comic though. It’s appropriate in that sense to me.
Haha, that was a pretty good reference there sir. It was hard for me to pick which one I wanted to make for this strip. The smiths had soooo many reference-able things, it hurt my head!
Oooh! Prettyful!The extra work you put in “really” shows off here. Rudy, still looks like Rudy, but the other two look amazing. The site is also an improvement I must say.
Thanks man! On both accounts. :] I hope you can see why I’ve been absent from the forums? I thought once i got back from ECCC things would wind down… but they only got busier! >< I'll be back there soon enough... I promise! Hope all is going well in there? :]
yea the forum has slowed down a little bit, your not the only one that hasnt been on, i havent been on too much, making designs and other plushy prototypes, The Scout Crossing shark sword is gonna be a little harder to make than the Monty one
Oh so you finally got in contact with Scott bout it then? Did you make any progress on the book coozies? Cos I’ve been making all my calls and such getting quotes on the books… probably in the next few months things will actually start moving forward on the book. For instance, the downloadable donation mini should be done soon! :]
yea he had his email on there for some reason and i just sent one the other dayive made some progress on the book coozie, i made one with a single lair without any flair just the shell, and it just wasnt strong enough to hold the small book i put in it, im in the middle of sewing a better stronger one, that im gonna test out tomorrow nite, since i have a new phone that actually has a camera, i will post some up tomorrow nite or friday morning
i actually have a little sketch book, that im using for making sketches for other characters i might make down the line
Hi all! Just actually found this comic today and went thru all the posts. Really loving the storyline and characters, as well as the art and website.Im actually working on starting up my own and wondered if youd be willing to give me some hints/tips on getting it going?Also, was wondering if this is your main job or if you do this in your free time?Thanks!!
Thanks man! Glad to hear that! :]I post recommendations for newcomers on how to start comics all the time in my blogs. For instance, here is a blog about character sheets and what you should do before you even start your comic. Read thru though, if you have other questions you can always e-mail me. I may not reply right away but I do try to get back to everyone in a timely manner.
I work on my comics as if they are a full time job. I put far more effort into this than I do my day job. It takes years and years to make this a full time gig, it’s not impossible, but even some of the more well known names have day jobs. If you’re getting into this industry to be able to quit your day job, I’ll tell you know it’s gonna be one hell of a struggle for you to get there, BUT the nice thing about this profession is that it’s still young, and it’s still possible. :]
My main word of advice to you would be this: be kind to everyone! Both artists and readers alike. Remember, the only reason we as webcomic artist exist is because of people kind of enough as you that read our works. If it wasn’t for our readers we couldn’t do this… so why not give your readers as much of as appreciation back as they give to you by reading your stuff. :D
Thanks a lot for all the information. I really appreciate it.Im working on getting my blog/comic site up as we speak, but Im not real great at designing sites or using wordpress/comicpress.I have the website bought and the server as well and I have wordpress/comicpress template loaded up. Do you know anyone who would be able to help me get this set up? I would of course be willing to pay for their services.The site is going to be a web comic/blog/game design site. If you can think of anyone or if anyone who reads this is interested, please let me know.Once again, awesome comic and I look forward to following it now that I know about it :)Thanks again!
I do web design, and specialize in Webcomic websites specifically actually. My rates rage from 250-600 depending on how elaborate you want your site though. Let me know if you’re interested.Also, thanks for reading. :] Whenever you get your site up, let me know, I’d like to check it out!

Wow. Major kudos on the title of the strip and even more so on the strip itself. :D
Lol, so you actually got the Smiths reference then? And Thanks! I was really proud of this strip.
Yep! I actually really like that song. -__-
I KNEW YOU WERE EMO! :P
Don’t get the reference, but I get the gist of the joke.You did a nice job redecorating! :)
He’s just an old school Musician who wrote some really emo music, but for it was a thing… like the cure. I made the joke be in a way that even the new girl didn’t get it, so she’s thinks Morrissey’s Morosity is a band.. when in fact that’s just what the Singer of the Smiths does, cry on most of his tracks. :]Thanks! I’m glad I made the changes. The site loads SOOOO much faster now.
wow! The art in this is truly amazing! Looove it! Also love the Smiths reference haha. I always think of the Perks of Being a Wallflower when I hear the Smiths
Did they mention them in that book or something? I always meant to read that book… but I read books. lol take up too much time. ><
Sooooo… Her definition of neuter is more along the lines of euthanize? Also, why does google chrome not recognize the words euthanize and google?
Lol, pretty much she just want him dead.You know i noticed that too. Chrome is absolutely terrible at spell checking even the simplest of words. ><
Has anyone else noticed that all the girls in this comic (all two of them so far) have some sorta power? And what the fuck, chrome doesn’t recognize euthanize, but it recognizes sorta.
Yeah, you’re right… Joseph’s only power seems to be pissing people (and animals, and God) off. :)Well, Chrome isn’t perfect (as I’ve noticed over the last year or so of using it).
I can let it slide though. It’s just so clean.
Hmm… I need to pay more attention, this comment was intended for Joenis comment on the poor spell checking. What I meant to say to you, is it may not be perfect, but it is damn close.
I forgive Chrome for its crappiness more than I should really. It’s just better than most other browsers… I miss some of firefox’s awesomeness though… but its still crap in comparison to chrome.
God had lightening powers… are you calling Him a chick? XD
Maybe I am, except that would mean I can’t spell. Though, I don’t know if you could call god human.
Jesus christ I need to get to bed, and there needs to be an edit comment button. I meant to say that would mean I can’t count.
LMAO, don’t sweat it man, I know how you feel. I’m a god awful speller and sometimes I post before I realize how dumb I sounded. I’ve just made a habit now of double if not triple reading my comments before I post. >< I wish there was an edit comments option too. :/ The only person on the site that CAN edit is me, which does no good for you guys.
SAD PANDA!!! D:…. I was distracted.Epic fight scene! :D
And the epicness is far from over! D: Not excited to draw! lol
You know, I just noticed that 4,999 people like LAWLS on facebook. I would make it 5000, but I don’t have a facebook account, and I refuse to make one.
It fluctuate anyway… anytime i write something offensive (ie cock joke in the last strip) I tend to lose one or two people, but then sometimes I make them right back when new readers come in and like the humor. So, it’s all good. :]

Not exactly… I’d say their abilities more so match their personalities. Cadence has a fiery temper (Fire) and the new girl has a sorta aloof darker view to the world (Shadow).
Please tell me you got the hidden message in that. I worded it so people would get it.
the only thing I’m able to see at the moment is your saying Power Rangers over and over! ^_~ But that MAY be because I’m extremely exhausted from all these comics I’ve been working on. D:
Yes, you good sir win a cookie! Am I the only who thought it was racist the black ranger was black and the yellow ranger was Asian?
It goes further than that even. The Blue Ranger was a boy, the pink was a girl and the red one was what i believe to be a Native American Indian… aka, Redskins. I noticed that when I was abut 13 or so and ALWAYS thought it was funny. Best of all was that the Green Ranger didn’t really fit a sterotype, so they made him a White Ranger instead!

I never thought about the red ranger being native American but I did notice the blue and pink ones, I just didn’t think it was a big deal that a boy was blue and a girl is pink.
It’s not really. It just more of the fact that it’s obvious that they wanted to make sure everyone MATCHED their colors. ><
oh and another thing was that all of the badguys were only ever played by any other minority, never a white person, like the first evil lady was like vietnamese or something, or thats how i remember ityou can take that a little further the zords that they had are also with their race, the native guy had an eagle or hawk, an asian had the dragon(I think), one year the black guy had the gorilla, and so on
LMAO where they really? That’s Just BAD!Freakin’ Puddies must have been the ethnic blend of doom then.
Go, go, racist rangers! Da, da, da, Fighting humanity progression to universal acceptance!
Also I like that other girl’s pants. Black and green are my favourite colours.
haha, thanks. I was pretty happy with the design. I jut pulled it out of my ass, but came out really nice all the same. :]
Yeah about her design…I really don’t like criticizing your work, it’s really well done but why is the emo girl so…you know. I mean I understand not wanting to make her really well endowed but why wouldn’t you give her a standard bust size? Do you get what I mean?

More than likely it’s just the jacket/angles that are throwing you off. BUT I’ll work on it a bit to make sure you can tell she’s still feminine. :P
Yeah… I’ve kind of noticed that that is kind of starting to become the formula for every frickin’ webcomic ad I’ve seen recently.

Haha, well I’m glad I’m not the only one then! XDAnd thanks. :]
First, I enjoy this sites upgrade. It’s nicer than it was, methinks. Second, I like the black/purple shadow powers of the new girl. Artistically, and story-wise. And I had no problem with breast size.

Indeed.Totally easier on the eyes. And you’re welcome, she sure seems fun.
Thanks for the nice comments. :]

Haha, that was a pretty good reference there sir. It was hard for me to pick which one I wanted to make for this strip. The smiths had soooo many reference-able things, it hurt my head!
Oooh! Prettyful!The extra work you put in “really” shows off here. Rudy, still looks like Rudy, but the other two look amazing. The site is also an improvement I must say.
Thanks man! On both accounts. :] I hope you can see why I’ve been absent from the forums? I thought once i got back from ECCC things would wind down… but they only got busier! >< I'll be back there soon enough... I promise! Hope all is going well in there? :]
yea the forum has slowed down a little bit, your not the only one that hasnt been on, i havent been on too much, making designs and other plushy prototypes, The Scout Crossing shark sword is gonna be a little harder to make than the Monty one
Oh so you finally got in contact with Scott bout it then? Did you make any progress on the book coozies? Cos I’ve been making all my calls and such getting quotes on the books… probably in the next few months things will actually start moving forward on the book. For instance, the downloadable donation mini should be done soon! :]
yea he had his email on there for some reason and i just sent one the other dayive made some progress on the book coozie, i made one with a single lair without any flair just the shell, and it just wasnt strong enough to hold the small book i put in it, im in the middle of sewing a better stronger one, that im gonna test out tomorrow nite, since i have a new phone that actually has a camera, i will post some up tomorrow nite or friday morning
i actually have a little sketch book, that im using for making sketches for other characters i might make down the line
Interesting. Keep me in the loop on these little projects. Post em of the forums and such so other readers can see them too. :]
All’s well in Hell, but nothing goes right in the world of man…Luckily this is the internet. All’s good here.
Hi all! Just actually found this comic today and went thru all the posts. Really loving the storyline and characters, as well as the art and website.Im actually working on starting up my own and wondered if youd be willing to give me some hints/tips on getting it going?Also, was wondering if this is your main job or if you do this in your free time?Thanks!!
Thanks man! Glad to hear that! :]I post recommendations for newcomers on how to start comics all the time in my blogs. For instance, here is a blog about character sheets and what you should do before you even start your comic. Read thru though, if you have other questions you can always e-mail me. I may not reply right away but I do try to get back to everyone in a timely manner.
I work on my comics as if they are a full time job. I put far more effort into this than I do my day job. It takes years and years to make this a full time gig, it’s not impossible, but even some of the more well known names have day jobs. If you’re getting into this industry to be able to quit your day job, I’ll tell you know it’s gonna be one hell of a struggle for you to get there, BUT the nice thing about this profession is that it’s still young, and it’s still possible. :]
My main word of advice to you would be this: be kind to everyone! Both artists and readers alike. Remember, the only reason we as webcomic artist exist is because of people kind of enough as you that read our works. If it wasn’t for our readers we couldn’t do this… so why not give your readers as much of as appreciation back as they give to you by reading your stuff. :D
Thanks a lot for all the information. I really appreciate it.Im working on getting my blog/comic site up as we speak, but Im not real great at designing sites or using wordpress/comicpress.I have the website bought and the server as well and I have wordpress/comicpress template loaded up. Do you know anyone who would be able to help me get this set up? I would of course be willing to pay for their services.The site is going to be a web comic/blog/game design site. If you can think of anyone or if anyone who reads this is interested, please let me know.Once again, awesome comic and I look forward to following it now that I know about it :)Thanks again!
I do web design, and specialize in Webcomic websites specifically actually. My rates rage from 250-600 depending on how elaborate you want your site though. Let me know if you’re interested.Also, thanks for reading. :] Whenever you get your site up, let me know, I’d like to check it out!
[…] a little weird. You should go check it out. It’s got flying water mammals! It’s got girl fights! It’s gothomicidal and homosexual fish! └ Tags: action sequence, evelyn, Kevin, […]
The second panel is very nicely done. How long did it take you to color this one?
Anywhere between 6-10hrs is my average time on any given strip. THIS COMIC EATS MY LIFE AWAY! lol
[…] Scout Crossing (which I reviewed here). You’ve got egregious video game references, anime chi-fueled fight sequences, and characters being members of a band (because, you know, while the first two are nerdy, the last […]
