Christmessed up

Merry Christmas, my yonkies. Unfortunately, various circumstances, including my health, have prevented me from making enough progress on the Christmas special and the next update, so I’m forced to reschedule.

Now, my secret nefarious plan was actually to finish Chapter XIII on New Year’s Eve and then take a break during January – a break from updates, that is, rather than drawing. The point was for me to build up a little backup stack of updates at the beginning of the year, so that if anything unexpected happens, Yonkoma Nuzlocke is less affected. It was supposed to be such nice timing for a break, too, right at the start of the year and right between two YN chapters…

The plan remains unchanged, but will have less elegant timing. The Christmas special will release on New Year’s Eve, a week late, but I don’t care, it’s a nice special, dagnabbit! The Chapter XIII’s ending will come out on January 11th. Afterwards, Yonkoma Nuzlocke will go on a short break until February 29th, but rest assured that the beginning of Chapter XIV will feature a VERY special surprise right away, so the wait will be worth it.

God bless y’all. Seriously.

Update: 14 XII 2023

Four new strips are up. For some reason Daisy and Erika are always fun to draw together, even when their interactions aren’t especially intense, and I’m enjoying giving Silver more attention than expected too. Not only that, my favourite Pokémon species has finally made a proper debut in the actual story; took me long enough!

Hope you enjoy… once you’re done with the second part of the PalDLC (get it?) which releases today. Because it’s not enough to distract from our anniversary every year, now even normal updates are on Game Freak’s watchlist.

As per tradition, December 24th will see a Christmas Special, which has already taken a life of its own and grown into a much bigger beast than expected – as my ideas tend to do – but I’ll do my best to still drop the next proper update on December 31st, also as per tradition. It will mark the end of 2023, as well as of Chapter XIII at last.

I’m ashamed to admit it has been over three years since our last yonkoma page of Yonkoma Nuzlocke. But now we’re back, with a four-strips update. Hope you enjoy! I’m actually dipping my toes (somewhat ironic analogy as you will see) into drawing “fanservice” here. But it’s tasteful, plot-relevant fanservice, don’t worry.

Next update dropping December 14th.

Anniversary Update: 19 XI 2023

Eleven years and over 440 pages… The road’s been somewhat rocky, yet Yonkoma Nuzlocke is still ongoing. So many characters, so many plot twists (here, have another), so many battles, so many jokes, so many sub-plots, so much foreshadowing, so much shipshipping, so much Daisy chaos, so many Pokémon (mostly Rattata), so much elemental theory and so many four badges. At times even a reader or two.

And with this here update, we’re ending the takoma three-parter on a really fun note. Chapter XIII itself is not done quite yet though, so look forward to some classic four-panel goodness next time: November 30th.

Don’t forget to comment if you care and follow if you fancy!
