Here’s the finale for Pirate vs. Ninja Strippers! There were a few things I normally wouldn’t allow that ended up here, but I decided to be lenient since it’s the final page, plus there was only one script to work with. For our little cameo at the end there was no mention of them sporting anything other than their usual looks, but since Naruto and Boruto had unique strip club designs for this comic I thought it’d be fun for Killua to dust off his Drag Race look. I hope you all enjoyed this comic, and in a few months we’ll be ready to kick off a new (as of yet undecided) yaoi Ongoing.
The winning One-Shot script for September is one themed around getting more content of Corinne Crane. For those who don’t remember her, Corinne is an Applebridge character I introduced via pin-up back in 2020. She was basically just a design I wanted to try out, but I didn’t really have much for her beyond that. As a result, that pin-up is all that’s existed of her up until now. For this comeback comic she’s got a somewhat random assortment of partners, but I guess that’s somewhat fitting given her directionless history. I do think for most of them individually you can pick out one reason or another for the pairing, though.
So I knew from some other posts they’d made that this Subscriber was interested in seeing Sakurai and Jun together. Since both guys are defined primarily by their girlfriends, I wasn’t sure if I felt right about jumping right into them just fucking or whatever. However, both guys are pretty athletic, and Sakurai specifically loves going to the gym, so I figured there was some room for them to bond as workout bros. That translated into this Ask, which I hope fans of beefcake will enjoy.
I was reading this Ask when I realized I actually already had an answer to it. I don’t remember the catalyst, but I’ve been sitting on doing something with Butt Witch and Cinderella for a few years now, I think. Even if I don’t remember my original reasons, this is a crack pairing I vibe with and it was fun to finally do something with them together. I figured I’d also use this Ask to imply some other relationships Butt Witch might have in the Studio, and probably Cinderella and maybe a couple others mentioned here will show up on her stream eventually.
This is a commission for one of my Lord Tier Subscribers, featuring their favorite boy Killua with Kazuma Ikezawa from Summer Wars. I like Summer Wars a lot, and have considered drawing Kazuma in the past. This isn’t really how I would’ve used him, as I think he has enough interesting options within the Summer Wars canon, but this is what the commissioner wanted. I’m also not entirely sure how much sense the dialogue makes, but I suppose that doesn’t really matter.
Also, for anyone interested, here is the Q&A video I did for Subscribers last month:
There are some men in the Studio who are so in love with women that, even if they awakened as pansexual in the Studio, it’s a little hard to picture them choosing to go after other men for sex. Kintaro has at least kissed a guy once, canonically, but I’ve always tried to pair him with women who don’t feel too far off from the types of women he chased in Golden Boy. This Dare puts him out a little bit, but luckily for him there are some guys in the Studio who are also not too far off from his established type.
So, on the surface this is maybe not the most daring dare, and might seem like it’s just pairing two random strong characters. However, an important part of the lore here lies in a background gag in Project A-ko. We only see Eiko’s parents in passing, but it’s a running joke that her parents are Superman and Wonder Woman, though they never state it outright. Now, obviously her dad isn’t the Superman from My Adventures with Superman she’s paired with here, but I think she might be able to recognize even an alternate-universe version of her dad, glasses or not. It just took her a bit for it to really click, which we see here.
