It’s Wednesday! Do you know what that means? It means it’s the middle of the week in the arbitrarily designated time allocation! Also: a Ninja and Pirate comic!

Thanks so much to everyone who viewed the comic last week! I got nearly150 views on it which makes me feel popular! It doesn’t MAKE me popular but I FEEL like I am. That’s what important in the scheme of things, right? Guys? I’m hoping the viewers steadily increase and if so then we’re off to a good start! Thanks again folks! You guys are why I do this and why I keep doing it!

So this week I’m gonna be at Fan Days in Dallas! It’s my second convention to have a table at so come and say hi or crush my cripplingly fragile dreams of being a professional comic artist! Either way it’ll be a heck of a lot of fun for you and possibly for me too, save the second option! I’m not gonna have too much to sell except some prints of Ninja and Pirate and some of my other work because I’m still testing the proverbial waters and what not. Once I get a feel for it then it’ll be time for MERCHANDISING! Ninja and Pirate Brand Neti Pots for everyone! Get one for each nostril!

Keep checking back every week to see the adventures of Ninja and Pirate each and every Wednesday. Tell your friends to as well. Tell them all the cool kids are doing it. Maybe then all the cool kids WILL start doing it. Take THAT Billy Lebowitz! NOW who’s not invited to your mom’s funeral!? The more read­ers I have means the more often I can post comics. If I get enough inter­est gen­er­ated in this comic I can start pro­duc­ing mer­chan­dise for you all, and if start mak­ing enough income from this comic I can increase the number of comics to maybe, in time, five per week! I would love to just do comics for you lovely people, plus it would make the story lines go a lot faster! So tell your friends and loved-ones about Ninja and Pirate and have them do the same! It’s like a pyramid scheme but instead of being about phone cards it’s about a comic and instead of being paid you get to read visual enjoyment with your ocular skull balls!

I’m still trying to figure out the mobile site and its issues for why some fine folks can’t see the comic on their fancy screens. No progress yet so those in the know are welcome to include me please. All I know is that on ye olde iPhone at least you can hit the ‘Reader’ button in the search bar and get the comic visible. I don’t know how it works on Droids or BlackBerrys or Cybernetic Uplinks but I know it at least works that way on Apple’s license to print money phone.

Enjoy the semi-new links page! In it is a bunch of links that lead to some fan­tas­tic web­comics and blogs that I fre­quent and are well worth your time! The blogs are both edu­ca­tional and amus­ing and the comics are some of the best pro­fes­sional and indie stuff out there. Care­ful though! The links are quite ho– you know what, you know that joke. Screw it. They’re hotlinks. That’s the pun. Move along now.

I have a deviantart account under the name JMFlan­ders and it has a bunch of my other work on it. Work that’s dras­ti­cally dif­fer­ent from Ninja and Pirate, so be warned. Give it a glance if you want. You’ll find Fan Art, Con­cep­tual Work, and some pretty twisted mon­ster designs! I’m open for com­mis­sions too! You can also fol­low me under the name @ninjaandpirate on Twit­ter! Shame­less self promotion!

Welp, that’s it for now! I’ll see you all next week! Don’t for­get to pass the word on about Ninja and Pirate! Your friends will think bet­ter of you guar­an­teed! (Prob­a­bly not.) Also if you tell enough peo­ple about it and they read it too, I’ll call off the hit on you! Yay!
