Edoropolis Emporium

Not mine, but rather the work of Alan "OMA" Solivan (http://trg.fireball20xl.com/), (Author of The Rogue's Gallery (http://trg.fireball20xl.com/trg/001.html)/Author's Space (http://trg.fireball20xl.com/as/index.php?id=1) and a few other things over at fireball20xl.) and Bryon "Psyguy" Beaubien, who's stuff I can't say I've read.

It's only just started, (16 pages to date.) but I think it'll get rolling quite nicely.  It's set a year after the big ending, with, it seems, all that entails.

So, without further delay or exposition:

Samurai Pizza Cats: COLD (http://www.fireball20xl.com/spcc/index.php?id=1)

Oh, wow. I hope this goes on for a while... looks amazing.

I've taken a quick look at it myself.
I've got to say, I'm excited to see where this one is going.
Pretty decent art too. ^_^

Ditto what Some1Else said - awesome find! This looks like it's going to be really good.

I couldn't stop laughing at the look that Guido gives Francine after she calls him an amateur.

Check out Alan's Deviantart page -> http://bignasty4life.deviantart.com/ (http://bignasty4life.deviantart.com/). Not only does it have all the pages so far, but also character reference sheets (have a look at the one for Seymore) and a few other cool SPC images.

Heh, shouldn't be too long before Seymore shows up.  Given the most recent page. :P

Loved this one (http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/54532381/).  So, I'm a little more sure that the cats are in capable hands there.  ;)

Ah, I remember when reading the latest issue of Psyguy's TMS was the highlight of my evenings! 'If you stand like this long enough, you start to feel like one of those Garfield suction thingies y'see plastered against car windows!'

This comic isn't half bad, either! I'll definitely be following this comic! ;)

Three new pages are up. Jerry Atric tries to convince the Big Cheese that Samurai Pizza Cat Speedy looks exactly the same in his Pizza Unifrom counterpart with much difficulty! :D

Oooh. (http://www.sheezyart.com/view/1149248/)

Three new pages are up - looks like Moe is going to get his intro in the next update. Alan's work is fantastic!

Again, more pages are up (for those not keeping track). These guys are getting the character's behaviour and expressions perfectly!

I love it...

But again, i loved the joke of the SPC writers being on drugs, so.... who cares?

So I've recently started catching up on this again, and I must say: It's certainly been worth it.  ;)

Things are really starting to come together, and they've done a pretty strong job of maintaining the SPC-style humor and atmosphere. The more they ease off fan-character emphasis, and continue to develop the SPCs as characters, the more I'm going to enjoy this comic series.

If you don't wanna read through all the (semi-unimportant) early stuff, I'll recommend starting at Page 55 (http://www.fireball20xl.com/spcc/index.php?id=55).



My quick thoughts on recent pages 67-73 (Highlight to read)

YES. Other than in "No Talent Guido", the series didn't really touch upon Guido being the overlooked member of the SPC trio at all. On top of this, Speedy and Guido each have MASSIVE egos, yet we rarely saw them butt heads over anything beyond their shared love interest, Lucille. It's all just so very in-character.

I love dissension within a closely knit group, and thus, I love where this story's going. And be it as a solo artist or a traitor, I'm looking forward to seeing the blue cat get more of the spotlight down the road.

Gonna agree with you on all of that, D-Mac. Sinder got me to start catching up on the comic again and I was definitely pleased with the quality of the comic and the writing. The cats are very true-to character, it's looking real good thus far.

OK, vvhat shovv are you seeing? Speedy does NOT have a massive ego! He does NOT! I can name a dozen examples of times vvhen Speedy has behaved in an unselfish vvay, putting others before him, particularly in 'Great Comet Caper' and 'Bad Bird Uncaged'.

if he had said ego, vvould he have been vvilling to risk his life so save Tokyo from that comet?! Guido has the ego, NOT Speedy!

VVHY aren't Speedy and Polly together in this?! Come ON, they're BOTH acting very out of character in this!
The ilustrations are great...but that's about all I can say.

I hate it. I'm not reading anymore of it. VVhy all this dissing on one of my favorites (after Polly)?

Speedy has no ego!

I've got to disagree with you on this Pollygirl.
One can have an ego and still be a hero.

Ego is defined as...
1 : "the self especially as contrasted with another self or the world"
2 : a: egotism 2 b: self-esteem 1
3 : the one of the three divisions of the psyche in psychoanalytic theory that serves as the organized conscious mediator between the person and reality especially by functioning both in the perception of and adaptation to reality

Basically, the point is, yes. He has an ego both by dictionary definition (and thesaurus referencing) and his character. He can at times be full of himself.
I'll try to come up with more solid points later. At the moment I'm busy'ish. :(

You hate it, hmm? This, from someone who wanted only positive reviews for their luke-warm stories. Lets see you produce something of quality first, then you may talk like this.

~Burkey

*sigh* pollygirl, I don't mean to offend you or anything, but you really need to step back, take a few deep breaths and look at what you are typing. Settle down. It's just a cartoon/comic.

Look, I'm sure that you can run off examples of Speedy being nice. Based on what I've seen from your posts here and your stories on FF.net, you really dislike Guido and seem to think that Speedy and Polly are complete angels. But there's the problem. None of the four main cats are perfect, and yes, that includes Speedy.

Ok, let me ask you something - say you liked a certain guy. You find out he likes you too and tells you he cares about you. Then all of a sudden, he gets cold feet and doesn't do anything about this developing relationship. How would you feel about it? Now imagine that this couple is Speedy and Polly. I think that Polly's reaction on the latest page is pretty in-character behaviour for her. And please, not every fan-fic has to have the two of them coupled together.

So you're basically saying you hate it because it hasn't put together your favourite couple, and your favourite characters are shown to have flaws? That's a little bit childish, don't you think?

I really do think you need to take a chill-pill about the whole Speedy/Polly thing, and not be so defensive about it. If I've offended you, then I apologise. I'm perfectly happy to continue debating about it if you wish.
-------------------------------------------------------
On topic, I going to agree with D-Mac as well. I'm really enjoying this so far as well, and hoping that Guido does get a little more on-screen time in this (or should that be on-page?).

   Personally I haven't thought of you as such a bad person PollyGirl, but I honestly hope you have been insulted, at least a little, because if you don't want people to hate you more than they already do on this board, then you better listen up. What we all are consistently trying to tell you is that WE ARE ALL FANS OF SPC TOO, otherwise you wouldn't have a board to post on. And no one here, aside from you, ever has any problem with Speedy having "character flaws", because THAT IS WHO HE IS.
   I believe that somewhere in your head, you have this romanticized version of Speedy who is a knight in shining armor - pure and godly and perfect. Let me tell you something: the writers have PURPOSELY given him flaws to make him "human", because that is what makes for a good story (take notes). Yeah he is the leader, yeah he's awesome, and yes he absolutely can be mature and in-charge, brave and loyal when it all comes down to it, but he is also egotistical at times, stubborn, selfish, conniving and even insulting. There's no ignoring the fact that Speedy often is too dumb-witted to realize what he just said is gonna earn him a frying pan to the face or a mouth-full of missiles....or hadn't you ever seen an episode of SPC?
   I could go on, but I have at least one more thing I want to say. Don't give sh*t to people about criticizing your work and THEN blast probably the most admirable team effort to keep SPC alive in a HUGE ongoing comic project by saying "i hate it". You need to stop thinking everyone has to conform to YOUR ideals for it to be good. Open your mind, and stop being stuck-up. Because there's having an intelligent argument for what you think, and then there's making a fool of yourself in front of the only people who would even think about bothering to read your fictions.

Think about what you say before you say it.

And get a f*@$%ing keyboard already, your typing is exponentially more annoying by that fact alone.

*ruffles feathers*

Yikes... That crow has talons... O_O

But all very well said, and very true I must add.

~Burkey

Even given the current circumstances, I don't at all care for that kind of elitism here, and never will.



At the same time...


Pretty much everything Helios said. It's reeeeally not worth letting yourself be so offended over something as trivial as cartoon characters. Though if you wanna get into character analysis, it's rather evident that Speedy thinks pretty highly of himself. What with the constant referring to himself as a hotshot, and being the "star" who can never lose.

"When I stop, I'm gonna get my own autograph!"  ;)

Go watch "A Little Bit O' Luck" to see this part of his attitude become central to the episode's plot.

To Speedy's credit, he is a nice guy at heart, be it can hardly be said that he's one without any sort of ego. As Aster noted, flaws play a vital role in making characters, and even everyday people, who they are. Without any flaws and conflict, characters become extremely mundane, and well... boring.

If you  take this all to mean that "ARRGH! SPEEDY SUX & WE ALL HATE :speedy: + :polly: PAIRING!!!", then you have completely and uttery missed the point of everyone's posts.

No matter how many times I see that picture, it never fails to make me LOL right out of my own chair.

And fine, forgive my comment, but I won't edit it out, I can let someone else do it if they wish.

(I forget where the edit button is :( )

~Burkey

Heh, same here.

Scratchy: "Lemonade?"
Itchy: "Please."

It's a true statement though, that's the pain that can happen to series if things get dull.

:(

~Burkey

Wow. Epic win for all these recent posts. Now can we all get back to talking about how awesome this comic is?

Why? Why when someone wants to do something, 99.7 of the time someone has already done it and better that you could ever do it?

I like cold, is kind of cool...

Aster, Pollygirl was deeply offended by this, and as her friend, so am I. We've gotten nothing but insults and flames since we joined here, and we've both decided to create our own forum to discuss the Pizza Cats, one that's free of the rampant bickering and flaming. Neither of us has seen Speedy pull an ego-trip, nor have we seen him act stupid. Sure, he's goofy at times, but he does it to try and have a little fun (he's got a stressful life...being a Samurai, working in a busy Pizza Restaurant, and fighting Cheese's robots). The cat needs to take a break every now and then. I apologize for not seeing things your way, but the flames are certainly not appreciated. I hope you're happy, Aster...you've just made both Pollygirl and I feel like our opinions aren't welcome, so we'll just leave and save ourselves the grief.

So long, good luck!

:D :D

~Burkey

PS, In hindsight, everything Aster said was 100% true, not opinion. So everything is validated.

(http://www.ragtagfilms.net/wng/images/wng_episode11.jpg)

Raz and PollyGirl,

The only thing I'm happy about is that I made a bunch of people laugh. Laugh about how ridiculous it is that Pollygirl (and now you, Raz?) are so adamantly convinced that you know Speedy, Guido and Polly better than anyone here - and not only that, but you are taking personal offense because no one else sees it exactly your way! Really now... I understand that you love the characters as we all do, and that you hold them in high regard, but come on... stop fooling yourselves. It is simply baffling that you cannot understand what you're saying is ridiculous. Baffling that you don't understand what we are ALL trying to explain.

The stupid part about all of this is that we really just want you to stop being closed-minded about SPC because we want you to be fans! We want you to write and take constructive criticism so that you can improve your skills. We welcome everyone who comes to this board... but if you make yourself look ignorant, you better believe we're gonna let you know. (TGL can vouch!) When you storm in here saying you HATE painstakingly dedicated work, you HATE Guido, and you think everyone is wrong if they don't believe in ONLY Speedy+Polly, then YOU are the ones who are causing the problems in the first place. There is nothing wrong with what you like about SPC, but don't force your opinions on anyone like that. And really, have at least a little respect. If you want to be treated with kindness and respect, then you need to give it out, too.

I'm sorry that what I said has caused you two to leave. I was hoping it would make you sit back and really think about what you've been saying. I was hoping that you would reconsider choice words and be more open-minded about the possibilities of this wonderful, diverse fandom. But now you're just going to separate yourselves from what you came to love in the first place because you're not willing to accept that anything is possible and every mind thinks differently, and that it's OK. Perhaps one day you will come back to post on the Edo Board when you are ready. I'll give anyone a second chance.

But on a Topic-Related note, I would like to revert back to COLD for a moment.

I want to say that anyone who has ever tried, or even seriously considered writing and illustrating a web comic should understand the intense dedication that these two are putting into this fancomic. It take a LOT of planning and time, organization, money and emotion to make something as epic and successful as this to happen, and I want to commend PsyGuy and Mr. Oma on an excellent job thus far. Even if there are parts of the comic I don't specifically enjoy, I still give them my utmost respect, because I understand. ....And because the only color page in there was totally rad. ^^

(Mechadon can vouch!)

Case in point. ^^ *hugs Mech*

*sigh* Well, you can't say we didn't try.

I'm with aster on this - I am sitting here laughing my head off at how utterly unbelievable you two are. To claim that all of us have been at your throats since you've got here is ridiculous. Go back and look at when you two first joined - we were all welcoming and friendly like we are with all new arrivals here. The people who reviewed your stories were nice and offered you constructive criticism (yes, even Burkey) - but you didn't want to hear it.

You were the ones who started these arguments. You were the ones who instigated the flaming of other members when they didn't, as aster said, conform to your ideas or write praising, kiss-ass comments about your fan-fics. You clearly cannot take any kind of criticism at all, and also take this show way too seriously.

I tried being nice, but that obviously didn't get through to you. You didn't even bother to reply to D-Mac's, KyoZaber's or my own posts which didn't attack you in any way. Only aster's, which laid down the same points more bluntly. That leads me to believe you had no way to reply except throw a hissy-fit and decide to leave instead of acting in a grown-up manner. We're happy to listen to opinions - we just don't want them shoved down our throats and told we don't understand a show we love.

I'll make one more point...have a look at my sig. See the little image there? It shows I'm a fan of the Guido/Francine pairing. Now, I don't go about attacking anyone who doesn't agree with it or doesn't put them together in stories. You know why? Because I know that there's a thing called "difference of opinion". Don't act like spoiled brats and kick and scream about it when someone disagrees with you.

Good luck with starting your own forum - you're going to need it. I hope you don't treat your other possible forum members with the same ridiculous behaviour you've displayed here. To be perfectly honest, good riddance.

Back on topic: There's three new pages up.

Helios, I think you're my 2nd fave member here of all time.

Bravo. :D *Wipes a tear from my eye.*

*Clapclap*

~Burkey

That's probably a pretty good guess. Perhaps one of them forgot to take their medication?

~Burkey

;) Cheers Burkey.

The art for this thing is nice.

I can't really say anything about the plot or fanchars. I dunno-- I guess I've just grown hostile to fanfiction, since so much of it is crap.

lol. Somebody get me a quote from where I said that.

PollyGirl and I actually shared a small handful of cheerful, friendly PMs together (that I respectfully won't post). She even complimented me on roasting Burkey once, *grin* and for a while I felt like I was the only one being nice to her. Ah well..

I suppose I'm just glad she took it all out on me and no one else. I'm used to being the villain, y'know? ^_~

OH NOES!!1 THERE ARE INSULTZ ON TEH INTERWEBZ!

I love it.

~Burkey

Hey guys, clean slate.

I've been talking with PollyGirl and I've asked her to stay, to which she agreed ^^
She's gonna take a lil break and come on back when she's ready :)

So no more anybody giving each other crap for whatever reason over this, or I'ma haveta bust some tail.

Lets see how long this lasts...

::)

~Burkey

Once again, I think it's CLEARLY time of tennis *serves ball*

*Mostly back on topic*
I must say, nice find on the comic, I hope he/she does more after this "episode" or something

Page 76: Anyone else notice that Guido's communicator beep was blatantly set to the rhythm of Ottodokkoi Nihonbare (the KNT Intro)?  :D

I think you're right on that one. I knew it had to be a SPC/KNT song I just couldn't pinpoint it.

New pages today, with the return of a familiar character we haven't heard from in a while, The Narrator.

Oh, and Moe too.

I think I can see how the rest of the comic is going to turn out now, but I'll still be reading it. They're both doing an awesome job, especially with the "SPC'esque" humour.

Loved the angry Francine during the last few pages.  :D

Another update! http://www.fireball20xl.com/spcc/index.php?id=80 (http://www.fireball20xl.com/spcc/index.php?id=80)
Love the expression work on Fran!

FRANCINE BEING AWESOME continues.

http://www.fireball20xl.com/spcc/index.php?id=82

Ha! I love Francine's terminator vision.

I kinda hate that every second background character looks like a Sonic character.

Yeah, he's been slipping in cameos of his friends' characters there. Though it's much more forgivable than having them actually be injected into the main story.

Lo que le hace falta al comic es un ejercito de malvados cuervos ninja robot^^

I bet the comic would be better with an army of evil ninja robot crows!

Problem is, their fan chars don't look like they fit in the SPC universe. I can't wait to see Dr. Robotnik in this series.

In my oppinion, its awesome... even with the cameos   ;)

Now THAT would be an interesting cross-over!! Robotnick and Cheese- 2 dumbells for the price of 1!  :D

Una vez hice un crossover en que Speedy era tragado por un portal interdimensional y iba al universo de dragon ball Z, lo gracioso era que Guido era mas fuerte que Goku^^ por un efecto secundario o algo asi.

Long ago, I did a Dragon Ball Z/ SPC crossover,Guido was stronger than Goku and Speedy Ginzu sword ended destroying the universe^^

Hahahahahahahahaha.

As we say in the Police business: Busted!

~Burkey

I woke up early this morning and discovered 3 new panels! Yay! ^^

Ah, yes. I love the smell of Pizza Cats in the morning; it smells like...

...victory.  :)

Really? I thought it smelled like... new plastic... or... pizza  8O

Wow holy smokes -

I am deeply humbled that the very epicenter of the American Samurai Pizza cats fans have taken so much time to gather and discuss this comic. Beyond that, you all are enjoying it! I can't tell you how fulfilled I am as a writer to see the true fans enjoy this series.

Alan and I are huge Samurai Pizza Cats fans and I'm very excited and honored everyone here seems to be enjoying the series. Your kind words mean so much to Alan and I that I can't thank you all enough.

*ahem* Okay okay okay - enough ass kissing. What I feel more than anything to do is probably apologize for the typical fan character crap. I tried not to focus the story around Moe, but I guess I did give him a bigger piece of the spot light - just to introduce a new character. I didn't think of it in terms of a fan-character - but looking on it now - it seems that I did kind of make that mistake. I hope you all can enjoy him for just being a character and not a typical fan character that comes in and steals all the glory.

Things do get rather tense right now - and while Moe may be working at the Pizza place now - hmmmmm....let's just say - don't get too used to this idea.

And, one more thing before I go, I'm actually re-writting the original script from around the middle. I have some bigger plans for everybody -

On a final note - Guru Lu.

Later all! Thanks again for the kind words!

Now it's my turn. HAYOOOOO

You could imagine my surprise to see such a thread in relation to Psy and my SPC project when I originally came looking to see if there was any word on Speedy/Yattarou getting into Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom (C'MON CAPCOM). The first time someone at a forum brought up COLD, it was still young, about the time this one started...

Yeah, didn't fly so well, but they were really bigoted opinions about Psy and me and not really the comic or the series itself, soooooooo it don't matter.

While I detect there ARE some issues that people may have with COLD, I'm glad that despite them, you're all still sticking around for the well over a year this project's been in business. I would have never imagined after a friend of mine found the episodes that they'd end up in Psy's hands and he'd want to do something like this. I found it even LESS likely that as much as I wanted to help him out, that I'd end up actually working on it. I've been a Pizza Cats fan since Junior High, so to jump on this was amazing.

Not to mention a learning experience! Before now, I was a digital artist who really specialized in human like characters. Closest I ever drew to an anthropomorphic character was anyone from the Sonic universe (and now you all know why the cameos look as such. XD). Don't even get me started on robotic armor like what everyone wears, so to dip into the Pizza Cats world where it was both horrors mixed into one? Yeah, it was quite a challenge to adapt. And plus the whole thing about doing the comics traditionally. Pencils, inks, what have you.

But now, drawing these guys are almost second nature. Sure, I still have issues with the guys (I think I make Speedy look like a girl in some instances % D), but it's been REALLY fun. Some people even go so far as to say it's as if I was MEANT to do this comic, considering my style.

LGHKJLHHJKLHJFD I've totally droned on. XD;; IN CLOSING! I just want to say that I'm glad you all approve, or at the least enjoy it for what it is and the effort that's gone in from both my and Psy's ends. As I type this, I'm actually about to start shading the last page of the next update, soooooooooo keep an eye out for that. You can also find Pizza Cats related art on both my website and my DeviantArt page, including one I made detailing my hopes for Speedy in aforementioned Capcom fighter that I'm surprised didn't pop up here or at the thread regarding the game. XD;;

Later days and thanks for reading!

Hello  :) Nice to hear from the makers of the comic. Just wanted to say keep up the good work! Great artwork/layout, and the jokes are just how they are in the original SPC series - something that's not easy for everyone to pull off, but it's done very well in this case.


Don't worry, I didn't pick that one up ...   ;)

Whoa, whoa, whoa - you guys are now members here?! Awesome!

Anyway, you've both been doing a fantastic job so far and I'm eagerly awaiting the next update.

Dat's right. >: D

ANYWAY, here's the newest set as promised. Starting from where the last set ended, of course. (http://www.fireball20xl.com/spcc/index.php?id=88)

But it doesn't have the word "Samurai" on it.  :D

You guys are geniuses. I'm so glad you've decided to join us.

Don't worry about the comments I've made earlier. You can have as many hedgehogs as you want in this. ^^

And so they meet. FOR THE FIRST TIME. FOR THE LAST TIME. (http://www.fireball20xl.com/spcc/index.php?id=91)

Again, starting off from where the last update ended. READ ALONG.

Heh. Guido enjoying a little success  =] Awesome stuff, man!

Best update ever!!! Guido's been a naughty kitty.  :)

I love how you drew Speedy's eyes in the bottom middle panel.

I <3 LT  :D

As I said on dA, they are fantastic new pages. And it's about time Guido scored with the ladies.

As a Guido fan, I am kind of mad, but at least he didn't kill it with a Valkyrie....

hahahahaaaaa.... oh man. this comic has my laughing my tail feathers off. francine's expressions and guido's night with the ladies are just so awesome.  =]

wahahahahahahaha! Brilliant! man! aw! I gotta lie down...

Definitely nice drawings. I have not realy been reading the story but I like the art. :)

Wolf

Pages 95-97. (http://www.fireball20xl.com/spcc/index.php?id=94)

Keep up the good work boys, it's going fantastic so far!

lmao, "information gatherer!"  :D

I bet he has a nice bridge to sell us, too.

And thank you, Helios. Next update will contain the big 1-0-0!

(Geez, how many posts does it take to make a new page??)

I have to say that I'm really enjoying COLD. There's a bit of drama and you have some fan characters, but you still stick to the style of the show and make things funny and enjoyable. I'm always eager to find out what happens next. :)

PS: Referring to this (http://www.fireball20xl.com/spcc/index.php?id=88), it's a good thing Fran doesn't know about this place... :D

Thank you for the continued good will towards COLD!

Check it out, folks! The long worked towards 100th page is contained within THIS update! (http://"http://www.fireball20xl.com/spcc/index.php?id=97")

And I FINALLY broke in a new page! WOW, things are just going swimmingly today! % D

Amazing work as always, my man! It's people like you that really know how to keep the dream alive!  :D

O.O pretty colors

Love the color on the hundredth page! Also, I was amused by Big Cheese and the new villian discussing the "typical fan character". ^_^

But hey, he's nowhere near as bad as the usual "Stereotypical Fan-Created SPC Fanfic Character (™)".


Cookies to whoever gets that reference. It's an OLD one...

you draw really well! ;]
I don't really mind moe very much, I don't like fanmade characters most the time. Moe's ok. ^_^

Not that that has anything to do with COLD.

And thank you Spcgirl.



(Edited by Kyo for clarity as to prevent any weird miscommunications that were never intended in the original post.)

I remember reading that.. It's a classic fiction by.. Grr... All I remember was he kept changing Polly's colours, it was quite humourous.. Read it years ago!

~Burkey

blind2d, you mind not posting posts that have little if nothing to do with the subject at hand? You did the exact same thing over at the Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom thread.

Don't mean to step on any Mod's toes, but as this has to do with the thread I draw for...

And so I don't do the same thing, COLD PROGRESS. 2nd page is sketched in. As there are no color pages this time around, maybe I might be on time if not a little early.

Ouch! My feet! Now my true wrath shall be felt!  >:[
... Only after I've had my morning coffee... And some grumble cakes... *Grumbles*

In any case, the posts have been taken care of to keep the thread on topic.  :-*

Too bad I lost my doc with the "The extraordinary guide of why fanfics suck", some ideas of that where incredible funny, especially the "Mary Sue laws of doom"....

Now that that 100 page celebration is out of the way, let's start towards ANOTHER 100 pages, eh? (http://www.fireball20xl.com/spcc/index.php?id=100)

Still liken' it. But when does Polly come back? I miss Polly ...  ;]

Hahahaha! You've done Francine's expression perfectly! Man, every page is a delight for the eyes and brain! But seriously christain girl, learn to freakin' spell!

Heh. Kamehameha. Nice one :)


That has nothing to do with the comic. You're just attacking her for nothing. And you might want to give The Rules a quick once over too.

I miss her, too. Script wise, she'll be back soon, but drawing it's gonna take a while. : (

But, but...! She spelled "Christian" wrong! I'm just!.... Forget it, no one likes me... guess I'll go eat something and watch a zombie movie...

O...M...G...

I cannot believe I ignored this Thread. That is a fabulous comic there, man. Love the art. The humor.. AWESOME! The story so far is solid, and it does feel like and episode in my opinion. As for the fan character... Sweet!

Keep up the good work.

The letters are bold, so this is serious.

Poor Moe! That's gotta be uncomfortable. :O Glad to see more pages! I hope COLD does run for 100 pages more! :-*


*gives Burkey half a cookie* You tried... :3

Blackcat: It's actually a really funny story, and I think every SPC fanfic writer should read it. In one chapter it poked fun of a "Gary Stu" of sorts, before doing that became so popular. Now I'm getting off-topic myself, so nobody contribute to this discussion. Maybe I'll post it in Fan Works for everyone to enjoy, but it wasn't written by me, that's why I hesitate... Hmm. I'll think it over...

I've given a few random pages a look at, and the in the drawing department they're quite good, a little off on the SPC models, but that's fine; everyone has their own style. :)

As for the writing; the script seems solid, some lil things here and there regarding structure and whatnot, but that's just ol' nitpickin' me.

Keep it up, and yes, another 100 to go. :D

Many thanks for the recent comments. Now watch this!

MAN, this week's update of COLD is just GOGOGOGOGO!

So let's go! (http://www.fireball20xl.com/spcc/index.php?id=103)

You MIGHT notice a change in the toning. It's still pencil tone, just digitally applied. Times are tough with Fetch Quest in progress and I'm trying to find better, timely ways to apply my COLD methods while still retaining quality. This worked out rather well, though I suspect the inking will be next. IT'S ALL FOR THE BETTER.

Hey! This page was MUCH more easier to reach. GOOD FOR ME

Well, folks, this is it for me.

NOOO, I'm not leaving Fireball20XL. However, I'm afraid that this update contains my last contribution to Samurai Pizza Cats: COLD (http://www.fireball20xl.com/spcc/index.php?id=106). I'll spare you the details of why and instead point out that anyone who wishes to take the comic up in my place can find details on how to do so on the last page of this update.

Does this signal the return of Guido? I hope so.

Sad to hear you won't be doing any more work on this Ohma. You have done a phenomenal job drawing up to this point (especially your work on Frannie and the expressions). I hope that you and Psy can find someone to continue from this point because it would be a real shame if COLD died at this point. Fantastic job!

It never fails. A Pizza Cats webcomic that had good art, an interesting storyline, OCs that didn't completely steal the spotlight, and updated regularly. I should have known it was too good to last.

Well, I'll certainly miss your work, Mr. Ohma, even if someone is found to continue the comic. I know how it is having to quit a project, but this sure is a downer. -_-

Poop. I know that's not very profound, but it sums up feelings  :(

Oh well, I realise a quality fan comic is a heap of work. It will be missed.

I just want to let you know that Psy's found a replacement artist for COLD. If you wanna see her sketch sheets of Speedy, Polly, Guido, and Moe, follow the links.

Speedy (http://shadowsnack101times2.deviantart.com/art/Speedy-Cerviche-102508257)
Polly (http://shadowsnack101times2.deviantart.com/art/Little-Polly-Esther-102945228)
Guido (http://shadowsnack101times2.deviantart.com/art/Guido-Anchovy-102945512)
Moe (http://shadowsnack101times2.deviantart.com/art/Moe-Haggany-102946652)

Hmm, well at least it'll continue at a similar artistic level.

Still sad to see ya have to drop off the project.

Is the new artist, Tay-To(?) with us on EE?
It will probably take her a little while to settle in and start work on the comic. 

I don't think she is even aware of the existence of this forum.

I was plotting on posting updates in her place, tho'. >>

All you bastards, GET FIRED UP!!! I don't care if it has been a year since someone posted! This is big!! (http://bignasty4life.deviantart.com/art/SPC-COLD-Page-quot-110-quot-102060598?offset=25#comments) . . . . . . Not sure if you've already seen this page already though.  :O

MORE BIG NEWS!!! They got compitition! (http://bignasty4life.deviantart.com/art/Comments-From-The-Other-Side-87070617)

This isn't news. This stuff is more than a year old. SPC: Cold isn't going anywhere for the time being.

I miss Cold. =(

Agreed...on a whole hearted scale. A shame the artist that was supposed to pick it up dropped off the grid for 6 months...than briefly reappeared only to disappear again...

...so sad...

Is that what happened? Dang, that's a real shame. Who knows what the future holds...

PEOPLE OF EDOROPOLIS.ORG I shall make a s attempt to continue pizza cats cold 2 days after christmas if i am doing a hme orrible job dont be afraid to jump in and nag me, i will use your insults as something to improve on but for now practice and latr days ;)

You can't do any worse than the last person who tired.
