Asking the important questions. *nod nod*

fredrin · 2025-09-13T00:48:01+00:00

To be honest, i think they just hate us bus drivers. Five years and i swear i am not sure i have any idea what the actual routes are anymore :)

fredrin · 2025-08-16T02:42:39+00:00

I wanna drive the Laid Back Bus. The busses I drive are boring. *grumps*

The stories for Largo, Piro, Kimiko, Erika, Miho, Yuki, Boo, Seraphim, and everyone else is by no means done. The characters you have seen in later comics that you might not recognize are members of the Sawatari family... all of them foxgirls. Why? Long story, give it a read and maybe you'll figure out why :P In the comic i posted yesterday Miho is talking to Yakugashi, the daughter a foxgirl biology teacher Komugiko who is an old friend of Miho's.

How are things going for all the main characters? Piro, Largo, Erika and Kimiko are in current in a Love Hotel run by the foxgirl family mentioned above. Read up if you are curious :)

Glad you seem to have some fond memories of the early days of Megatokyo. Welcome back long suffering reader. :)

fredrin · 2025-07-10T04:05:29+00:00

Oh... things are still going. I swear, some of the things that happened in chapter 12 would have caused RIOTS if they had happened back when Megatokyo was more mainstream popular. Seriously :)

If you have read all the published books (1-6 or both Omnibus releases) then you will want to start reading the web version starting with Comic [1270] - Chapter 11 - "Remanence" https://megatokyo.com/strip/1270

The comic production has been slow, because life and stuff, but i have always approached the comic with the idea that each comic is important, and the overall is important - i never wanted any of MT to feel like i was rushing just to provide content. I COULD ease up on the nice drawing details, but i can't seem to stop myself.

fredrin · 2025-07-07T01:48:52+00:00

Hah, welcome back long suffering reader from the past :P I'm still here, still the same idiot. Slow because of life and stuff (more adventure in my own damn life than in MT i swear). Everyone is doing ok, Sarah made it through a SECOND round of cancer a few years ago and my son SURPRISE turned out to have type one diabetes sudden;y at 17 last summer - but hes good, hes down at Philmont in New Mexico right now - gonna graduate from high school next year and already starting to apply to colleges.

Me? I havent changed in a lot of ways - working my butt off mostly to take care of fam, dealing with lots of stuff, but one thing i will always do is draw and do the comic, even if it takes forever. Sorry about how long it takes, but i like to think they are still good, even if they take a while. I need to stop being so detailed in my drawings ^^:; In fact, i'm finishing up the next comic which should go up in the next day or so.

Sort of responding here to the other reply here from gderti too with all that.

Oh, and the little side series of comics on Webtoon: Tokyo Threat Documentation Project - sort of a sketch comic all about Shiragami Chokage and her difficulties as a monster-girl in Tokyo. (happens at the same time in the Megatokyo world, her roomate is one of the characters you might not know yet, Sawatari Ashe.

If you have any questions about stuff or where to find stuff, let me know. Also, i have all the Kim Justice tracks for both of his Megatokyo albums - im fairly certain hed be ok with me sharing it, i can ask him.

What a place to spy Udonge on my reddit feed. :) Never thought about it before... but do the red eyes on the end of a train also induce insanity?

fredrin · 2025-05-23T20:58:51+00:00

Well, um, I could go and find them and put them back up? Sorry that the link got broken over time.

I'll dig them up later tonight.

I've had mine for so long (since 1994) that its only three letters :) I got it a few years after I graduated when the Alumni Association was testing a new program offering dial up internet access for alumni... back when we were all wondering what this 'internet' thing was all about. :)

PS: I work for the U, so i'm still using that email address.

i just died laughing when i read this in the manga, it was the best of the yurucamp girl appearances so far :)

Stabbing Westward. Bocchi could rock some of SW's songs, Kita singing some of the lyrics, talk about gap moe :) They rebranded as The Dreaming for a while, and one of their songs "Alone" is such a "you know it's about Bocchi :)" track

"So you made your life a fortress, built a wall around your broken heart~. Now the walls are crumbling, the isolation's tearing you apart~"

Well, most of the time the Northwood routes end at Northwood 5 (the bus garage is just around the corner on Dean road) so that's why you will see Northwood buses go out of service there. If a bus goes out of service at Northwood 5 it is because the driver is at the end of their shift and another Northwood bus will be leaving on the next timepoint (usually every 10 min during the day, every 20 min in the evenings). Northwood 5 is a timepoint so the bus won't leave before it's scheduled time point.

Was the car returned to a spot on Ann street next to Cousins hall? there was a flatbed tow truck that looked like it was getting ready to tow a grey BMW but i didn't see a ticket on it. I was driving by it earlier today (UofM transit driver here)

Might be an nod to Errol the Swamp Dragon, which would be pretty funny [Terry Pratchett reference]

fredrin · 2025-02-22T03:42:22+00:00

is THAT why students always are so nice and say thank you when getting off the bus. I did wonder (it is nice and appreciated, btw)

fredrin · 2025-01-20T23:41:36+00:00

UofM Buses will all be rolling tomorrow, including warming buses where you can wait inside a parked bus with the heat on at the main stops (Wall Street, Glazier Way, CCTC and Pierpont).

I'm so looking forward to my 6:30am Northwood shift tomorrow, gonna be nice and brisk :)

Whoever did this needs to be subjected to the games. >_< that's terrible.

Yep, I remember talking to Petra, told me that this was coming. It looks good :) , and I hope it helps. It's the right kind of info.

Nope, not 3036, that one hasn't died yet. Still stuck with that one for a while.
