So recently, Ian (one of my friends over on the SMT MUCK) has been working on a comic/manga, or at least the script for one. I know how ya feel, buddy! The awesome ideas, the inability to get it down on paper properly... If only I could draw! ... Anyhow, he really wants his idea to reach more than a couple folks, and for some reason he thinks tons of people care about what I think, like I was popular or something (I think I'm more 'known' than 'popular', but what the hey), so he asked me to tell you guys what I thought about The Ballad of Koku High.
From what I've read, Ballad actually -is- an awesome idea. Original, too! Sure, it follows a lot of the 'Japanese school full of super-powered students and teaching staff' stereotypes, but how many of those have you seen that have a main character that's not only completely normal without any kind of ki-manipulating powers, but completely clueless as to the real nature of the school he's attending? Yeah, thought so! It's a good read, funny, and has (gasp!) actual character development, too! But I'm really not doing Ian's work any justice, so just go over to http://crowmagnon.deviantart.com and check it out for yourself, huh?
On a side note, the Faces of Conner continue, and the list is below! There's still plenty of slots left open, so don't forget to give me a head's-up or something with a reference for your character and the pic you'd like to be in if you want a cameo! And hey, if you have a good idea for a pic you don't see here but you'd -like- to see (nothing adult in nature, please), lemme know!

Also, i'm glad you're still working on the Faces of Conner series. I had missed seeing updates for it.
How about black and white rubber hose animation style Conner (30s animation. think Steamboat Willie, or Bosko cartoons or something. Everything is alive basically and the characters can be all rubbery in regards to limbs)
Or old school villain Conner. You know, with the stovepipe hat and black cape and twirling his evil mustache :-P
Connersaurus Rex.
Air Conner (doing a Michael Jordan-style of dunk, with the tongue sticking out)
Tall Conner (not macro, but just really tall)
Short Conner (not micro, just short :-P)
Stick figure Conner
Kindergarten Conner (Conner drawn with crayons)
Angel Conner
Devil Conner
Zelda Conner
President Conner
The Visible Conner (think inside-out Conner)
CoonBird
OK, I think that's more and enough in the way of ideas for now. Sorry for the overload, just got on a roll :-P
