Then, 2016 ruined what would have been the best Christmas card ever.

WORST. YEAR. EVER.

Cos-Play Hero p179: Actual Real Life Creepy

Cos-Play Hero p178: It does a body good.

I don't know what I did wrong with the artwork in this one. It just doesn't look right at all.

Cos-Play Hero p177: The Wrong Boolean

Try to ignore that this comic isn't that funny and focus instead on how awesome that robot tiger looks. Kind of dangerous... Glad I added those warning labels.

Not Yet Satiated

Sorry. I'm still working on the next page of the story. Life and holidays are getting in the way...

Safe

Cos-Play Hero p176

Comic's running late. Sorry.

Cos-Play Hero p173: Lily's Disguise

Seriously... How do they always KNOW?

Cos-Play Hero p172: Past Lily's Bedtime

When we were kids, one of my sister's Barbies lost it's head, and our cats would always be playing with it. That's where I got the idea for the giant disembodied doll's head.
It's going to take a couple comics before anyone knows where I'm going with this subplot, so bear with me. I really feel like the story needed more Lily, though. I'm also preoccupied with another project, so this gives me time to finish that other business before I move on to the next "serious" (in quotes) chapter of the story.

Cos-Play Hero p172: Cyber Wars

I'm trying something a little different with Lily's text. I might change it later.
Sorry I missed last week. Apparently, that "What's in the fox" joke was so terrible, the web comics authority had to come in and force me to retake my bad pun awareness training.

Cos-Play Hero p170: Doughnuts

Am I the only one who still spells "doughnut" like this?

Cos-Play Hero p179: Second Hand Mouse

Yes. I am calling him Second Hand Mouse. No, the little robot is not named "Clanky."

Running Late

Sorry. I'm a bit late this week, due to lack of sleep. I keep having this recurring dream that the country's being taken over by a mutant racist carrot.

Cos-Play Hero p168: The One They Left Behind

Sometimes, silence can be louder than words... if that makes sense.

Cos-Play Hero p167: Reluctant Farewell

Cos-Play Hero p166

Cos-Play Hero p165: A way out?

Intermission: Really Stupid Pun

Page 165 is taking a bit more time. While I work on it, please enjoy this thing I scribbled after watching one episode of Gotham. (This might be the stupidest thing I've ever drawn.)

Cos-Play Hero p164: I can't think of a description.

Characters are now sliding through dimensional portals on blankets. I think this was the premise of "Sliders," but I could be wrong... This story is quickly becoming silly.
I wanted to draw horses on the blanket, but I was pressed for time.

Cos-Play Hero p163: Beyond the Rift

Drawing comics distracts me from my lack of a social life!

Cos-Play Hero p162: YOU ARE ERROR!

Cos-Play Hero p161

Cos-Play Hero p160: Revelation

Who is the hand? I've actually drawn the next page ahead of schedule, so I could show you right now, but... I think I'll just keep you all in suspense.

Cos-Play Hero p159: COUNTER PUNCH!

FINE PLAY! +1000
The minotaur exploded into coins, as one does. It used to happen all the time back in school. Sometimes rupees would appear, and occasionally health pickups. The nineties were weird like that.

Cos-Play Hero p158: Punch the Minotaur!

Cos-Play Hero p157: On the other hand...

What will happen? Will the guiding hand swoop in to the rescue, or send our heroes to their doom?

Cos-Play Hero p155 and 156: More Minotaur Madness

I don't like the way that carpet turned out at all. I'll have to go back and redraw it later.

Cos-Play Hero p118 and p119: Minotaur Battle

Cos-Play Hero p117: Minotaur With Runcible Spoons

Cos-Play Hero p116: Rumbling

Hey, guys. You know how I was just talking a couple weeks ago about how much I appreciate my job? Well, funny story...
...
Anyway, I'm trying to monetize my YouTube channel. It might help me pay the bills while I get my current employment situation straightened out. Charles Work PPL on YouTube

Cos-Play Hero p115: Who We Are

I had some trouble with the fourth panel. I needed his face to make it clear that he was making an honest mistake and not just being a jerk. I ended up having to fix it in Illustrator.

Cos-Play Hero p114: Talk to the Hand

Cos-Play Hero p113: Dude With Chainsaws

I feel like the last frame would have been funnier if Penguin had a giant grin on his face. Oh well. I usually don't finalize the dialog until I've drawn and scanned the comic.

Cos-Play Hero p112: Terrible Fan Art and Chainsaws

Cos-Play Hero p111: Oscar Nominated Musical Number

If I ever get the chance to do this story as an animated movie, that will be a full-fledged musical number right there.

Cos-Play Hero p110: Vicious Boss

My bosses have given us free pancakes and ice cream sundaes before. They're the best.

Cos-Play Hero p109: Money for Nothing

This is why I feel lucky to have a job where I can make a positive difference. Don't be like CAFG.

Cos-Play Hero p108: OPEN, TOILET, OPEN!!!

He's winning this game COMPLETELY wrong.

Cos-Play Hero p107: Point and Click Adventure Island

Kudos if you can catch all five of the references I embedded in the last panel. (Hint: The radar dish and the skyscraper don't reference anything, though I could probably turn the dish into a Goldeneye reference if I really worked on it.)

Chess Match

The next page is taking a while to complete, so here's something else I drew. You like Sunglasses, right? Well, here he is as a dumb kid!

Cos-Play Hero p106: Mysterious

sORry. roUGH WeeK at WORk. coMIC is nOT ReadY YEt.

Cos-Play Hero p105: Books Can Take You Places!

Cos-Play Hero p104

Ugh. Sometimes I feel like the quality of this comic is getting progressively worse.

Cos-Play Hero p103: SPLORT!

A guy like Eli is bound to have at least ONE evil unspeakable creature locked up in his basement.

Cos-Play Hero p152: Have You Seen Raccoon?

Ugh... That first frame is awful. This is what happens when people don't let me concentrate!

Cos-Play Hero p101: What happened to the perspective here!?

Sorry. This drawing is kind of a mess. I think I'll have to redo it later.

Cos-Play Hero p100: RIGHT BEHIND YOU!!!

Thanks for your patience.
