Today we learn Ninja’s allegiance! He said ‘gorram’ which means he is familiar with ‘browncoats’ and ‘firefly’ and ‘hands of blue’ and ‘Nathan Fillion’. This is a Firefly reference! I’m trying to attract new viewers through clever manipulation! Dr. Horrible!

Thanks so much to everyone who viewed the comic last week! I got nearly120 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!

In other news, I am going to the Fan Days Con in Dal­las in Octo­ber! You should all come out to see me and get cool stuff like key­chains, mag­nets, busi­ness cards, cool prints and draw­ings, and maybe even a Dr. Whoo plushie! Plus you’ll see a bunch of people dressed as browncoats like in this comic, as well as the Doctor, Storm Troopers, anime characters, and the inevitable Cloud Strife! It’s gonna make you squirt laughter and joy out of your human orifices! And you can meet me and tell me what you think of the comic and crush my dreams of being a successful artist! Also make sure to tell your friends about Ninja and Pirate’s weekly adven­tures. Get them to read it and tell their friends. 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!

Enjoy the 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! If you tell five friends about it and get them to see it then you win your very own invisible browncoat! Which is weird seeing as if it’s invisible it doesn’t have a color since that means that light isn’t reflecting off of it and…I mean INVISIBLE BROWNCOAT! YAY!

Afterword: For those not in the know, Browncoats is a derogatory term for those who fought in a galactic civil war thing because their uniform consisted of browncoats.) Since then browncoat is a term of pride for some people with no lives such as myself. Weird how that works out, huh?
