The Flying Blind Strip
Pepper is becoming the George to Aikida’s Seinfeld.
But only if George was way cuter, and Jerry dropped f-bombs constantly.

That last panel made me giggle a lot :3

Once again the drawing style carries expressions well. Good work. Don’t make Aikida angry, you won’t like her, when she’s angry… :D :?
October 13th, 2008 at 4:49 pm
Oh fuck, im good at that game, does that mean…….no it cant be…………

Hmm. “Not that gay” is the new criteria for sexual partners, now? :o
October 13th, 2008 at 8:58 pm
not too sure cause i haven’t been paying too much attention through the series, but are you hiding syd’s age with that tactically placed speech bubble senior fenris?
October 13th, 2008 at 9:07 pm
Actually, he was looking THAT gay in the last strip.
October 14th, 2008 at 12:26 am
Yeah Ethienne the running gag is that Syd’s age isn’t really known and as far as the guys know she is pretty much jail bait. For the rest of the strip I like the Pepper/Morgan idea. Yeah he’s gay but I think they would have a good buddy comedy thing going for them. I guess like Seinfeld only, you know, funny.

See, THAT Seinfeld I would watch.

Loved the comic, especially last panel made me lol hard.
October 14th, 2008 at 1:54 pm
Okay so, I have been a long time Aikida reader, seriously since like WAY back when you started even 30 zillion reincarnations of the story and here I am still reading. Still love it to, so now that I have slated your ego with compliments and friendlyizing I must say I also play WoW and dude your toon needs better gear. Green belt GREEN!? I seriously can not let you walk around with Aikida in such condition… why couldn’t you have rolled Alliance on my server then I could help you gear out. /cry

i started reading this bout month ago and i always checking everyday for new strip i just want to say thanks for making me laugh and keep up the good work man

I invented JAMBALAYA
October 15th, 2008 at 1:29 am
I like the last two panels. And the first one. The whole thing is good, nevermind.
In other news, I vote for more Wade. He’s not in the comic enough, and he’s my favorite character. I mean, I guess the title character is going to be in it more, but that never used to matter. And Zelda isn’t even in some of those games. More Wade!

Hahaha. “He’s not THAT gay” should be quote of the week. I’m not any pro at art or anything, but I found that if you use a dot within the circle for the eyes and a darker color in the pupil, then lighten up around it with highlights it makes the eye look a bit more real, but then again I draw giant wolves with glowing tattoos so you might not want to listen to me.

No webpaper or donation incentivce for Octobre?
October 15th, 2008 at 3:35 pm
Aikida with pumpkins for boobs :D OH OH OH, SYD with Pumpkins under her shirt dressed as a witch or something saying “guess who I am? :D” would be a funny incentive.
October 17th, 2008 at 9:51 am
She sounds like Navi from “Zelda: Ocarina of time” - Hey Listen!
October 18th, 2008 at 12:24 pm
What happens to our Aikida?
Don’t tell me you’ve become like BTC, posting only once a week…
October 18th, 2008 at 1:22 pm
hiatus
October 18th, 2008 at 9:48 pm
lol @ giantgiraffe
October 19th, 2008 at 3:41 am
Your lack of faith is disturbing.
October 19th, 2008 at 12:13 pm
To truly make a reference to Seinfeld Aikida should say “He’s fucking gay, you idiot. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.”
October 19th, 2008 at 9:25 pm
It is inenvitable.
October 20th, 2008 at 2:05 pm
You get used to it. I blame WoW as usual. Some people just can’t stop playing it. I have a friend like that. He disappears for months at a time. Work, WoW, Work, WoW, Work, WoW. Then the random “Oh hey I am still alive!” phone call. But I can’t really talk. I gave him my WoW account only feeding his addiction.
October 20th, 2008 at 5:03 pm
oh no…i was only kidding! please come back fenree
October 20th, 2008 at 7:31 pm
I blame patch 3.0.2
October 20th, 2008 at 8:39 pm
lmao at dwight and giantgiraffe
October 21st, 2008 at 10:39 am
Its the beginning of the end for yet another promising iteration of Aikida.
October 21st, 2008 at 5:47 pm
@ CiSTM : Hope not, but we can’t goes by this feeling… Shame on you, WoW!
October 21st, 2008 at 7:33 pm
Wow is srs bsns!
October 22nd, 2008 at 8:20 am
I shall be the first…
duuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrr HIATUS HIATUS HIATUS duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrr
October 22nd, 2008 at 8:21 am
oh, damn, i wasn’t
October 22nd, 2008 at 8:36 am
Everyone forgets. Fenris has the immune system of chemotherapy patient. he gets sick for like 1 day, and it turns into a 3 week NyQuil bender.
October 22nd, 2008 at 12:46 pm
update damn you! i want to get to the next one!
October 22nd, 2008 at 9:08 pm
jeez, people. it’s not even been ten days yet. i read alpha shade, this is nothing…
October 23rd, 2008 at 12:17 am
Well it hasn’t been 10 days, but the last hiatus was a year and a half long. So you’ll understand our anxiety. :P
October 23rd, 2008 at 12:19 am
<—starting to hyperventilate
October 23rd, 2008 at 12:29 am
I’ve followed Aikida/Pepperwood for years now and this is the one thing I hate about Fenris. I get hooked back into his new storylines and just about the time when I forget about the last one he didn’t finish, he does it again. Don’t get me wrong, though. I really like his art, I really like his stories, but more than three times with this same scenario is getting old. If he is sick, then I completely understand because I’ve been there, but if it’s WoW then he really needs to get his priorities straight and realize that it’s a game, not a life. I REALLY WANT to give him the benefit of the doubt, but I’m about done.
October 23rd, 2008 at 6:34 am
At least, there could be a little filler strip or blog uptade, just to renew our position about fenris.
Or lets full the hole with fan made filler… don’t know, just do something to keep this site up!
October 23rd, 2008 at 10:51 am
@ Fenris: what you should do is just stop drawing comics altogether. You write them, have some other guy draw them. Hell you could convey your ideas to the artist over your guild’s vent server, that way you’ll never have to stop playing WoW again!
October 23rd, 2008 at 12:12 pm
Hmm atleast 2 attempts at aikida, a pepperwood, a stint doing sports articles and another start of aikida….all ended before finishing a storyline. All sucked me in too, good stories and I like the art. Artists are just so self-critical.
October 23rd, 2008 at 7:38 pm
Patience is a virtue folks. I don’t know what’s the problem anyway? This ain’t QC or LICD. It’s Aikida. Takes a while for a new strip. Don’t sweat it. Just hang on.
Some things never change, eh?
October 23rd, 2008 at 8:44 pm
Too hard to be patient…aikida is and has always been #1.
October 23rd, 2008 at 10:20 pm
Even Fenris said that the comic would be updating 3 times a week. That’s my problem. If it’s not going to consistently be that then don’t advertise it that way. Look at Theater Hopper. Mr. Brazelton updates 3 times a week, with a full time job and a very young son to take care of. He rarely misses an update and when he does, he feels awful about it. When he goes on hiatus he lets his readers know way ahead of time and usually has guest strips lined up to take the normal comic’s place.
It can be done.
Yes patience is a virtue, but it is wearing thin.
