Katrina Comic 8: Halloween 2015

Yes, I've said it a million times, I can't just keep making her bigger. I have to keep to her character. She wouldn't want to do that, it's not her style. Plus I'm not able to pull that off artistically either. There's only so much you can do with an immobilized character and I know it would quickly bore me, and if I'm not interested, I won't do it. I have to change things as I go along or I won't want to do them anymore. Plus, I always like the progression, if she's already super fat and just eats more to get fatter, It doesn't interest me as much, I like the growth, but once you reach a certain size, it just isn't noticeable anymore, nor is it appealing to me. And as for story, I am continuing it! Everything's still continuing from the previous year, and I plan on bringing back things from the past as well (Such as Katrina's newfound rivalry with the Cow lady in the pie eating contest). Just because she lost some weight doesn't mean that nothing happened. She still went through everything and still is failing her way through the holidays. I just need to do things in a way that keeps me interested, and keeps the story from being the same exact thing every single time. For example, I had gotten bored with making some of these, and really had to push myself to do so. However once a few people suggested some pretty weird, but likable ideas for the comic this time I was excited! They were things other than "Bigger than last time" or "Just make her fatter" they were legitimate ideas and showed genuine interest in the character and her actions outside of just being a girl who fills her belly, and that's what I need. I need substance and idea, not just fat. She's never just been fat or boobs, Katrina is Katrina, and I believe that if you truly enjoy her, you'll enjoy her for what and who she is, rather than for how much she weighs. But if you are just looking for any old pretty girl who eats too much and weighs a ton, I'm sorry, but you'll have to look elsewhere.

Also, these comics brought something special, instead of just stuffing herself like she did in the normal pictures, she was fatter every time than the last comic. I felt that was really bringing a unique story that you would keep continuing, at least just in the comics, and I didn't think it would stop because the comics were already so different than the normal pictures in the first place.

I just hoped if there was enough fan demand for her to always get bigger she would...I was clearly wrong.

It was just a misunderstanding man. I always said it wouldn't go on forever, did you just not believe me or something? I really want to know. I'm not trying to be mean through all of this, I'm just a little upset that I specifically said I wouldn't under any circumstances make her continue to get fatter forever, and you seemed to act like I was lying or joking about it or something. It shouldn't have broken your heart if you knew it was coming for a long time. And as for the other part, I highly doubt I'll have time to do so. Things like that take time even if it isn't color. I think that this is enough. You KNOW she isn't going to keep the weight off for a whole year. She'll fight it, gain it back, gain some more, and then lose a lot of it, only to get it back, just like she always has ever since I had her gain weight in the first place. It's always been a cycle, and I'm sorry, but I'm not going to break it. I have to move on to other things and get working on Thanksgiving's stuff.

Then you really fooled me and broke my heart darkmastern...do you think you could at least release a picture on Halloween day of some kind of alternate universe where we see how much bigger she'd be if she didn't lose any weight after the pie eating contest. You could have her really frustrated because her costume is too small yet she wants more candy cause what she's eating isn't enough to fill her big belly, but Nitros is really reluctant to give it to her. It doesn't even have to have color, I think alot of your fans (including me) would appreciate the drawing after reading the last years worth of comics.

I wouldn't call you my biggest and most active fan. I have other people I talk to far more often than I talk to you. Just because you are a fan does not mean I'm going to treat you as if you're always right or treat you like you're the top priority, if you do something that is rude, which you often do, I will call you out on it. Usually people are fine with my decisions to do different things, however you are most often the one who tries to shoot them down. I do these to please myself as an artist, not to cater to your every whim. And so far, YOU are the only one whom has really complained about it. And I do still have just as many supporters, the difference is that my supporters have moved on to my Webcomic, they haven't left me, they've only moved locations. That may have been your favorite part, but you always seem to forget that I have stated on multiple occasions that I will never go on forever with her gaining weight. It is IMPOSSIBLE at the rate she gained it. As for the workout thing, I do plan on doing it still, I plan to release that on a month where I don't have as much going on as I have a lot of work to do in october (Due to halloween), November (Due to Thanksgiving), and in December (Due to Christmas) and so I am waiting to do so on a slow month where I can sink a lot of my time into it. Finally, I haven't yet taken a hit to any of my profits. Nothing has changed, and even if it did, it's not like it's going to effect me much. If I lose followers for something as silly as this, then I'm fine with losing them. Money isn't everything. I want fans who love the work and support ME, not just supporting a single character getting fat all damn day. I'm not doing this just to make her fatter, I'm doing this to write silly stories that involve her eating a lot because that's what I want. I'm sure Mcoddles is fine, and if you want ONLY weight gain, probably a better place for you, That and Mcoddles does weight gains stories. It's much easier to describe a constantly fattening person than it is to draw one over and over again. If she just kept getting fatter, the panels would be nothing but a mass of flesh and you wouldn't even be able to see any features anymore and at that point wouldn't even be fun to draw. I gotta do things that keep me interested, and that does not. This never has been just about weight gain. It's about the stuffing and a cute, awkward girl. It always has been.

First of all, way to talk to your biggest and most active fan, gee I wonder why you don't have as many supporters as you use to. You listened to your fans sure but it feels like you tried to do too many things at once and only eight pages turned it into this confusing rushed mess. MY favorite part of the comics were always seeing how big she had gotten because of the actions of the last comic, you always told us you were going to have something of her super fat and working out, I really wanna see just how much weigh she gained after that pie eating contest. The least you could have done is a separate picture of her super huge and working out, or even just a separate panel. But just mentioning it is the lazy writers way out. It's like running a business and seeing your stocks and profits go up for a year and then seeing them drop out of nowhere, it confuses you and ruins the experience for alot of people, I feel like I've wasted my time reading these comics and getting excited for this one now, which breaks my heart because you use to be one of my favorites. If anybody else is reading this, I suggest you go support molly mccoddles, his girls always just gain weight, regardless of how big they get.

squawk squawk ^^

LOL Yeah, Your ghost idea was above and beyond the generic (Eat candy get fat) things most people said and I love going outside of the box for things. Giant Turkey could be fun. Maybe make it half dinosaur or something XD.

ahaha love it, especially since my ghost manor idea was kept XD now, for thanksgiving... I'm picturing an abnormally huge sized turkey (like, 3 or 4 times bigger than katrina) stuffed even huger and of course, katrina's gonna nom it all :)

Why's that? I took your suggestions. You suggested the costume she should wear, Another suggested the intervention of Loki and Tyche, and yet another on here suggested the idea of eating ghosts. I try to give everyone a little bit of what they want. And whaddya mean she wasn't eating anything? She ate ghosts and it had a physical effect on her. I'd understand if she didn't grow at all with that, but she still got stuffed, so I don't understand your reasoning here. Besides, I told you like, 4 months ago that she was going to lose some weight so I could start this over and put it back on her again. I'm not going to make her grow bigger forever there will always be a cutoff. Stop making pointless arguments just because you didn't get your exact way.

She lost all that weight in the beginning....that kind of makes the last year of comics feel pointless to me...I kind of feel at this point there's no point to throw out suggestions because they won't be heard. On top of that half the comic was setup and once she started eating she wasn't ACTUALLY eating anything...I should probably stop supporting...
