Rocky has been laying in that field for like, five months, that shit is probably infected as hell by now D:

But seriously though, hopefully the psychotic preacher and the coroner can sew his head back together. I would be so sad if Rocky died.

So every time you guys post the art, I fall in love with this strip even though I've never read it, so I've been thinking of picking it up. Anyone care to give me a primer on what I'd be getting myself into if I did? I'm not even sure what genre it is, except that there seems to be a 1920's fashion sense.

You know what legitimately upsets me? How much ancillary material Butler puts out. I mean I can't complain too much since something is definitely better than nothing. But if you're going to work on the comic, WORK ON THE COMIC. The release schedule is glacial enough. I don't really care what Rocky's favorite kind of sandwich is.
>> No. 159127
NO

She owes us nothing and you fuckwits better not make yet another artist associate their comic with needy unpleasantness.

SHE FUCKING UPDATED SIX FUCKING PAGES IN A WEEK AND YOU'RE WHINING ABOUT UPDATING MORE OFTEN YOU ENTITLED FUCKING FUCKS?

NO

FUCK

YOU
>> No. 159134
To be fair, each page of Lackadaisy is worth about 10 updates of any other webcomic. We get two or three at a time, so if we go with the common three-a-week schedule, that averages out to about 2 and a half months of updates, which is about right. Double that if you want to put quality into consideration. I've yet to see another webcomic with such quality.

She could probably do a once-weekly update, but we'd get strips instead of pages, and a lot of what's good about this comic comes from doing unorthodox boxing, which you couldn't do with a strip. So I'm okay with this.

Though I wouldn't mind just a quick update now and then to know she hasn't dropped the project. Maybe sketches or something.
>> No. 159165

>She owes us nothing

Wrong. I bought volume one. I give her website hits. I am a consumer.

She DOES owe me and I can bitch all I want, so you can fucking deal with it.
>> No. 159169
>Wrong. I bought volume one.

You got a product for that money, not a slave the couple dollars which is all she likely sees for each hardcopy sold

>I give her website hits. I am a consumer.

She has no ads on the site, and you don't "give hits" unless you're actively promoting her. Someone linked to her site and you went, that's who "gave her the hits" not you. All you do is cost bandwidth.

>She DOES owe me and I can bitch all I want, so you can fucking deal with it.

If you thundering faggots drive yet another webcomic into long term hiatus I will laugh and laugh at your cuntish self defeating idiocy.
>> No. 159173
Webcomic artists don't "owe" anybody anything since they take time out of their day to give us something to love (unless they're paid to), but it isn't wrong to hope for something resembling a consistant schedule either. Chill the fuck out.

Who is this comic for exactly? Is it for her own amusement or is it for the fans?

If it's for the fans, then we certainly do get to bitch when we only get nine pages a year. If it's for her, then who gives a fuck what anybody says?
>> No. 159261
Anyone who complains about Butler's schedule as if she owed them something clearly doesn't understand how little free time professional illustrators have for personal projects. Especially personal projects that require huge amounts of research and effort.

Honestly? I felt these last three pages were horribly underwhelming, dialogue-wise.

The story needs more villains. I had so hoped the fat brewer and his evangelist buddy would make great sinister foes. Instead we got Bendis-esque yammering and three pages of "uh, do we fight, maybe we don't fight, nyehhh"

So, looks like a job got slightly out of hand, which ended up being a good thing, providing the Lackadaisy with lots of free equipment (even if it meant destroying the booze)
Mordecai is now sealed to Atlas' side, Vik continues to protect their territory, albeit outside of St. Louis, and...
...it looks like something was up with him and Elsa? AwwwwNooooo don't do that, her and ChubbyCat were so cute together!

So, any thoughts about Mordecai's strange attachment to Atlas? He seems... loyal to him. How the hell did Atlas inspire loyalty in Mordecai?

Tell that to Tracy. She has become a perfectionist by this point. Tell her that perfect coloring, shading, and level of detail is not important.

Tell that to her.

It's not. It isn't at all important that you be able to see the exact period-accurate brand name hand carved into the pistol reflected in random victim X's eye at the expense of pacing. It was easier to just drop the comic quietly what with all the mindless stans fellating it

Enjoy that 200th page special come 2019

You went from "mild" to "rude" mode in 10 seconds.

Impressive!

Lackadaisy is a comic that works best when reading it in an archive binge. Maybe you should consider just dropping it for now, then in a year or two come back and catch up.

Why is she even doing anthropomorphic prohibition cats? Just make pictures like this and sell them, my god.

The cats are allegedly for fun inbetween the heavy stuff. Of course when even the "fun doodles" take 4+ months of detailing, you kinda wonder.

If you paid any attention to what Tracy has been saying for the last 7 years, you would know that she was drawing cartoon cats for as long as she can remember. She is also more comfortable drawing wacky action with talking cats than with people.

tl'dr she likes to and she wants to.
