Description So here it is! It's finally done, my masterpiece. The thing you've all been asking for so here you go!
Not much to say other than this actually took a lot more work than it should have, and I believe this is one of the first colored comics I've made ever, so I hope you all enjoy!
Also if you couldn't tell this one is loosely based on a true story, I'll let you guys put the pieces together. Β 
Again hope you all enjoy, and please leave me your feedback on what you want to see more of, or suggest some ideas!
I look forward to your responses. Β

Lol, yeah kind of. But it's alright, I'm used to it considering how often I make comics.
The only challenge was the coloring though, I'm not the best at it, but I tried. XD

Yah. I tried too, but I will make new one. It really takesΒ  time o-o"
And I love colouring here >W< I find traditional colouring hard o^o xD

MrGelo97 In reply to Brzozka7777 [2015-01-27 22:23:08 +0000 UTC]

Lol, yeah basically doing anything traditionally I think takes a little bit more patience, because you don't have the undo button to work with, if you mess up, chances are you just have to deal with it.
It can be tough, but it's still a really satisfying feeling when you make something you're proud of. Β

Yep, even if no one else can fully appreciate all the work you put into something, at least YOU can be happy about you made.

Yeah, I've been thinking of using this series as a way to sort of portray some real life events of mine, but in a much more entertaining way of course.

I've learned that yes, I also see it as a way to laugh at myself.
I think that's the true meaning of humor being able to take your flaws and struggles and use them to your advantage.
As Rodger Rabbit once said, "If you don't have a sense of humor, you're better off dead."

Where I come from, it's all gangsta handshakes performed by kids that could pass for the lollipop guild. It's fun to pretend.Β 

There's that interaction you were talking about, how adorable, you'll never go without a hug for the rest of your school-life.

As am I!
I totally ship these two together! They're just so adorable!
Although even if Leon did have feelings for Candy chances are he'd be to shy to ever confess his feelings towards her. Β Β

LeCandy (yes, I came up with a ship name for those two,) kind of remind me of my girlfriend and I; I'm one of those guys who's used to being the one behind the wall, being the loner of the groups I find involved with, Monay, (The aforementioned gf,) is a shy quiet type as well, but she is a lot more friendly.

Leon would be more like me if he were an angry guy; Candy would be more like Monay if she were more shy.

No problem, I understand where you're coming from. Just remain positive and do what you can to improve your life as well as those around you. Sometimes it's the little things that count.

Hugs are always great, but can be kinda awkward to shy people

Thanks!!Β 
It's nice change of pace honestly, plus this was in such high demand that I kind of had no choice here. XD
Also this was really personal to me, because in case you couldn't tell Leon is basically me, and Candy is based off a real life friend of mine, or at least someone I used to know, so I hope people will enjoy this as much as I did making it.

Oh gosh... I'm gonna sound like a jerk when I say this, but... I feel as though I'm the only person who doesn't want something like this in their life... I just wouldn't really like it, I don't really know why, on account that it'd just be a bit annoying(and a bit foreign/uncomf.) to me(except with Dakota because she's awesome and reasons i don't wanna talk about)... ;C; i am just the brightest ray of sunshine...

OTHER THAN MY MOPE... aw, really too cyoot, I swear~Β Β  can't wait to read more! And Leon, XD

(again, sorry for bringing my opinion in... again... my sincere apologies ;-; )

MrGelo97 In reply to Wingman2014 [2014-12-16 03:13:01 +0000 UTC]

No worries, if anything the entire is supposed to be kind of awkward for Leon.
And believe it or not this entire first episode was based on something that really happened to me a couple of weeks ago.
Either glad you like it, hope to continue making more stuff like this in the future.

Wingman2014 In reply to MrGelo97 [2014-12-16 03:18:51 +0000 UTC]

Ah, so that makes two XD Really, the only person I'm comfortable with hugging me is my best friend Dakota, and yeah XD anyone else, just makes me feel awkward, especially if they're touching my face like Joey, but taht's a weird story for another day XD
And really? XD If I were you, I'd probably feel super-duper awkward, especially if it were someone I liked, but... yeah, I'm not gonna go into that, either XD
Ah, I hope you do, I really like your comics~ c: You actually have the patience to do stuff like this, I can't even make a comic without getting all stressed with some kind of art OCD Β or something XD

MrGelo97 In reply to Wingman2014 [2014-12-16 03:44:59 +0000 UTC]

Yeah? I just got used to drawing the same thing over and over again.
It's the closest thing I can do to animation.
I'm glad you like my comics, they are a lot of work, but it's usually worth it in the end to hear that people enjoy them enough for me to continue making them. ^U^
And yeah I want to be friends with my "hug person buddy" but I just come off as so awkward that I don't know how to really break the ice. Also she just seems like the kind of person who hives hugs to literally anyone, so it's not like I'm anyone special.
Oh well, let's see what happens to Leon and Candy next week.

Wingman2014 In reply to MrGelo97 [2014-12-17 02:18:07 +0000 UTC]

Ah, really? ... I don't have the patience to do that, to be crystal honest, y'know? XD
Why wouldn't I like them? They're cute, funny, and creative!~ I should try to make a comic of my own, but... I don't have the attention span/patience to do so XD I might say that, but doesn't mean I won't try, tho .C.
Ah, well... just talk to her like you would to anyone else? Who cares if it's awkward, it's basic human conversation, isn't it? ... never mind, I'm being a hypocrite XD but yeah, don't worry, I'm the same around Dakota, and sometimes Conor, but don't worry, I know how you feel XD
And ah, I know a kid like that at my school, his name is Sam, and he was just the kid that was everyones' friend, everybody liked him for who he was... which made me hate them even more XD but yeah, Sam and I were friends for maybe 2-3 years before he finally quit talking to me, and I quit with him, he got more friends, and he just didn't talk much anymore... also, I think he has a girlfriend... he's lucky... kinda... not really, never mind XD
Ah, can't wait~

MrGelo97 In reply to Wingman2014 [2014-12-17 03:23:33 +0000 UTC]

Yeah it's just crazy to think that the only real reason I've ever had friends at all growing up was because of my comics. I'm afraid it's always been that way, yet for some reason this year I just haven't been quite as lucky. But you're right I should try and make more of an effort to become close friends with her, another issue I have is the timing, she's in my math class and it's almost impossible for me to sustain a decent conversation with her because 1) it's math class therefore I'm taking notes almost the entire time and 2) I'm always on edge when I enter that class because math is the bane of my existence. XD
But with that being said all I really can do is say that tomorrow is a new day, and with that comes new opportunities.Β 
Sorry for the rant there, but I figured you don't mind.Β Β

Wingman2014 In reply to MrGelo97 [2014-12-18 02:56:58 +0000 UTC]

Ah, yeah? The only reason I really had any was just because they just wanted to, and now it's kinda for protection reasons, I guess, since last year I got hit in the back of my head with a tennis ball by some jackass while walking home, and now they say that if anyone tries to do that again, they'll beat e'm up XDΒ 
And yeah, you should try after class or something maybe~ It could work if you tried... maybe...Β 
And no problem XD I don't mind at all... allow me to apologize, though. I know this isn't a very good response, but I'm kinda distracted, and can't really think straight, I apologize ;C;

Aw, sorry to hear that.
I get it, making friends is tough for introverts like ourselves. But I think we just need to keep hope alive, and hopefully someone worthy of our time will come and appreciate us for we are.
Hopefully that makes some sense. XDΒ

Ah, it's fine, shit happens, y'know?Β 
Yeah, it's tough, but I try, or... at least to, really XD I have this problem where I can seem a bit unhappy(fucking miserable little kid, as put by my mother and grandmother), but I'm really actually kinda happy, and my family always bashes me for it, say I should look more happy, they always call me dumb kid names and crap, like "crabass" and "crabby", but my real friends don't call me either, and that's when I know they are, they appreciate me for who I am, and I love them for it~

Yeah? I'm afraid I give off the same vibe sometimes, and perhaps that's part of the problem, I don't want people to not talk to me because I always looks miserable or something. I guess it's true what they say, fake it till you make it. Maybe we should just act more confident and people will think better of us.Β Β

Ah, yeah, I've heard that, too, they tell me to just pretend I'm having more fun than I really am, or whatever they tell me, and I just don't like it, because I do nothing wrong most of the time, it's only because of my stupid looks that it make me seem like I'm miserable or unhappy, I hate it.Β
