We’re about to hit the big 300 and we’re excited. I’m sure some of you are wondering what will happen next, if we’re planning anything huge. The answer is yes. Applegeeks is changing. And since I’m such a nice guy, here’s a sneak peek of the future…..

I have everything set and ready to do Applegeeks 7 days a week. With my iSight, I will take snapshots of my finger and use these templates to create the comic.

So there you have it, the future of Applegeeks. Excited?

Finger comics would be fine, as long the comic gets back to being funny; instead of being a clichéd, drawn-out, melodrama about Eve.

If you want funny, go read the sunday post or something.

Yeah, the story might seem to be getting dragged on a bit, but it only seems that way because Hawk and Ananth have been busy. I’m actaully really enjoying the current storyline, and I think that the only way it would end badly is if Eve dies. What would the point of the whole plot then? Would Hawk go emo… So uh, yeah. (Sorry I went on so long)

but what about hawk’s new punk rawk gf waiting back in the states - not that i want eve dead - but he does have a “real” girl to help w/emo issues now….

Finger comics would be fine, as long the comic stays on track; being a interesting, well written, storyline about Eve.

Nice one. I laughed. Now to lurk in the forums and post the occasional Inigo-esque comment.

Comment by randomfact
2006-08-23 10:24:38

What’s an inigo-esque comment? Like Inigo montoya from Princess Bride? ‘You kill my father prepare to die.’? or just ‘prepare to die.’?

I think it has something to do with the ’six fingered man’ ;P

I don’t know Hawk, It seems like a lot of work. What about “me” time? What about what you want to do? I think you could break it down to ascii art to minimalize. Writing takes time too… I’ll try to brainstorm to help out.

Hehe, how about: “And heres a random qoute I didn’t get off qoute.com.” says the finger/and or twinkie.

The thought of Hawk drawing Eve on his finger caused me to go have a lie-down.

EVE could be a barbie doll painted with shiny blue colours
though resizing and pasting her would be all too much effort…

I like it! :)

though I will mis your normal style a lot…

and uhm… allready have a mac :)

I like the current storyline a lot by the way, gives a whole new dimension to Eve’s ‘features’, I’m curious to see what kind of awesome weapon she activates this time. I’m curious about the girl Josie too… can’t wait for you guys to continue with that arc. :)

Applegeeks 7 days a week? Using just your finger in the comics? I smell a joke.

I think these comments are alittle scary, they seem to like the idea of a daily comic more than your art… what does that tell you?

Yes you are, yes you are… But I don’t own a mac anyway, so you can just give me the Dells. I’ll sell them on e-bay.

:shakes head: no, no, no - Dells may not be exactly state of the art, but if you really want to scare someone threaten to make them use Compaqs!

I hope Marie is joking… no one is … THAT gullible.

But honestly, those would work if you can’t make an AG Lite issue on time.

By the way Hawk, you should feel proud.

I’m pretty sure i know some Taiwanese people who read it too. Does that count as foreign? Pretty sure it does, since they live in Russia. Weird, i know. Who knew there were Taiwanese in Russia who read an American Webcomic?

We have been given the finger and no one has noticed at all.. pure genius….

Comment by randomfact
2006-08-23 10:20:17

How very true…though to me, it looks like the index finger, not the middle. Which is it? Plus, it’s facing toward us, not it’s back. Did that make sense?

FINGER MAN!!!!!!
You could have him on the side of the site giving random comments and watnot, it’d be great.

I like the storyline, though personaly I think adding a leetle more action in the comic wouldn’t hurt, (well not the readers anyways…)
Either way, I’m still reading.
