Flakyversary 19
Posted by Falingard on Wednesday, April 24, 2024, 10:30 PM

Updated!
This week, on Flaky pastry... Life continues to happen! I thought I might do something for Flakyversary, but my own hesitancy combined with unforeseen events means I only post this preview for now. But hey, work has started on this updating again, at least! Don't know when, and it most likely won't be every week when it does. But it's coming (tm)!


Flakyversary 18
Posted by Falingard on Monday, April 24, 2023, 6:30 PM

Updated!
This week, on Flaky pastry... This month, on Flaky pastry... This quarter, on Flaky pastry...

Eighteen years ago today, I began this silly adventure, not knowing hat I was doing or where I was going. Still don't, and not just about the comic. It's the first anniversary in all those years where I've not been actively working on the comic, but rather on so many other things! House, love, family, work, etc! That said, I still have a ton of ideas for these characters, still a ton of stories to tell. Hope to see you all back when I'm able to continue again! Until then, stay flaky!

This week, on Flaky pastry... we conclude the Pet Project slice! New character, say hi!

Now, for news news. I've been skipping updates lately, and some of you have had worries! Let me reassure you all on one point: I'm doing great! Nothing terrible has befallen me - quite the opposite, in fact. What is going on is that I have recently gotten married, and now my spouse and myself and our two teen age children are working through immigration processes, and trying to buy a house so we can have a cozy life together! It's new and different and complicated, but very exciting and rewarding!

What does this mean for Flaky Pastry? Well, for now it means hiatus. My intent is to make the traditional Christmas wallpaper for next week, and then... who knows when I'll update again! But this is not the end! My new family are all fans of pastry and none of them would want me to quit. I have many more fun stories I want to tell, and when we're all settled in I hope to have the time to tell them again.

Thank you all who have been reading so far! This comic has meant a lot to me these many years past. I am happy and proud to have been able to surprise, delight and inspire you.

This week, on Flaky pastry... it's Halloween and once again everybody dresses up! And by everybody I mean the five characters who have appeared the most in the comic. The three main characters, as you'd expect. But perhaps the next two you might not! Anyway, regular comic resumes in two weeks (but stay tuned for SOMETHING net week). And have a magical Halloween!


Slow down of updates
Posted by Falingard on Friday, October 21, 2022, 6:00 PM

Hey, reader friends! There is a lot going on in my personal life right now, so a weekly update or two might get skipped every now and then, including this week! I'll always try to have something fun to share on social media to tide you all over in the meantime.

With Halloween getting closer, I thought I'd share an old sketch for a fun wallpaper concept that was never used. The four Fiends of the Elements (+Golbez) from Final Fantasy 4... Nitrine as Barbariccia, Marelle as Cagnazzo, Kurt as Scarmiglione, the neighbour as Rubicante, and Zintiel as Golbez. Kind of felt too obscure at the time (and still today), in addition to this not being a great layout for a desktop wallpaper. But pretty cool I like to think.

Actual new Halloween wallpaper next week!!

Open endish
Posted by Falingard on Friday, June 10, 2022, 6:30 PM

Updated!
This week, on Flaky pastry... That's it! A LOT of things happened over the last uuuuuuuuuh stretch of time. But this story arc has concluded! I had a random idea and I went with it, as is often the case with Flaky Pastry. I feel like I expanded the world about 15x, and introduced all these people and elements that may or may not come back later. ... Who am I kidding? A lot of them will be coming back, guaranteed. I hope you enjoyed it!
So what's next? More Pastry! Starting next week I'm going into a series of Slices of undetermined length. If you recall a few years ago, Slices are short side stories (often 10-15 pages) featuring some of the side characters that don't always get time to shine in the main stories. Hopefully you will enjoy these as well! The first one is even something a little different - if not actually something new or unpredictable.
Thanks everyone for reading! I appreciate you a lot.

A flakyversary, if you will. And if that doesn't blow your mind like it does mine, then... I guess our minds work differently. Which is fair. But thank you all for enjoying my mind's weird workings for so long!

Take care, everyone!
See you on January 8th.

As is mostly tradition, enjoy this wallpaper where characters from the comic dress up as characters from popular media.

This year, Magic: the Gathering! There are a LOT of characters in that franchise, so went with some of the more front-facing ones: the planeswalkers of the Gatewatch. Some equivalences were easy to establish (Mona as Gideon, the neighbour as Teferi), some were a little more iffy (Zintiel as Nissa - I mean she is an elf, I guess). Also the background is me trying to put all five basic land types in one place.

This week, on Flaky pastry... Did I ever tell you about Rogue Skies? Cause I'm telling you about Rogue Skies right now.

It was an OCT an 'Original Character Tournament', a type of comic/roleplaying/contest thing popular on DeviantArt that I participated in, back in 2008. You can (and I encourage you to) go read it! It's still all there!

I was already doing Flaky Pastry at this time, of course, and doing two comics at once may have been a mistake. But I still look back fondly on the story(ies) I told in there. And that's why it's officially canon. Don't expect to see any of the (many) characters who aren't mine to make an appearance in Flaky Pastry, but hey, Riel is here now!

ALSO: for fun, here is a sepia version of this page! I considered using that as the actual page, for flash back purposes, but I liked the colours too much.

This week, on Flaky pastry... there's a comic page. I appreciate you reading it. But there's other stuff going on in the real world.

I'm just a nobody making a silly comic to entertain people. I try to avoid the real world as much as I can. But it's still there. It's still, no matter what, the only real world we have. I would love for everybody to have the luxury – the privilege – of ignoring it whenever it suits them, and/or to have whatever place they aspire to within it. I try to depict a world like that in my comic (though I could still do better). Unfortunately, that's not how the real world is. It should be, but it's not.

You've probably seen the news from the US, right? I don't live there, I live in Canada, but it's close enough. I'm not the right person to educate or lecture anyone. But what I'm trying to say is... Black Lives Matter. If you don't agree... I don't have any good words for you. If you do agree... good! Here seems like a good place to start helping.

So, happy fifteenth Flakyversary, dear readers! Thank you so much for listening to my silly stories throughout the years! Have a slightly-larger-than-usual special comic to celebrate! This might look like a bookend, but not to worry! I still have more stories to tell. See you next week! <3

That guy is an old D&D character I played for a while. I don't expect you to know him, even though he's shown up a number of times in the comic already! Maybe one day you'll all know him as well as you know Drake. You know who Drake is, right? Anyway, the point is: if I kept doing this comic forever, eventually every character I've ever created would probably show up. And I've created a lot.

This week, on Flaky pastry... they're heeeere!

Also, happy Valentine's Day, everybody! Some people don't like this holiday, but I think celebrating love is always good. Valentine's Day is for everybody! I had an idea for a wallpaper about that, but I had it tooooo late. So maybe I'll do that some other time. Regardless, even if you're single, like your favourite webcomic author is (I MEAN ME), that's no reason you shouldn't be happy today! Love your friends and family, love yourself, relax, eat chocolate, whatever. And if you don't want to, you don't have to do anything! And if you ARE in a relationship... you still don't have to feel pressured to do anything special, hopefully! Especially don't feel pressure to spend money!

Where was I going with this? UUUH... OUTFITS! I came up with Nitrine's outfit a while back, perhaps you've even seen it before. Trying to look fancy and tall is what she wants. I had more trouble coming up with Zintiel's outfit, especially since I set myself up in the story saying it had to be especially cool. I tried several things in sketches: some with armor, some samurai-style things, but the stuff I liked best was what fit the description I ended up writing in page 801 (which is why I wrote it there). I still iterated a bit after that, including asking for opinions from a costume expert (I mean TappyToeClaws). For Marelle, I wanted to give her a very scholarly vibe. Or maybe a school teacher vibe, depending how you look at it. This of course meant her outfit would look a lot like some previous outfits she's worn. But as a twist, I figured I'd make it mostly whitish, because this time Zintiel's outfit was going to be so black. I also decided to change her hair a little – just made it a bit poofier version of what she had most recently. I decided all this basically as I was drawing the page. Arlen kind of got the same last-minute treatment. I gave him a slightly fancier outfit than his usual, since he is on an official diplomatic delegation right now. But I also went back to nearly exactly the colours of his very first outfit. They just work for him, you know?

Okay, enough rambling. SMILE!

Seven facets of quandary
Posted by Falingard on Friday, December 6, 2019, 6:30 PM

Updated!
This week, on Flaky pastry... Let me paint you a picture with my words.

Perhaps you, like me, were a kid in the 80s and 90s. If so, then perhaps you loved to read. Maybe even, like me, there was one kind of book you couldn't get enough of… gamebooks. What has become known as Choose Your Own Adventure type books (even though that's only one specific brand). I loved those; I still do! There aren't as many of them going around nowadays, but back then, they were all the rage. Be they dungeon delves with stats, dice rolling and combat, like Fighting Fantasy or Lone Wolf, with fifty ways to die one true ending; or fun, purely choice-driven little adventures with a boatload of different mostly unrelated endings, like the aforementioned CYOA series… They take me back to my childhood, is what I'm saying.

So! What does this have to do with today's EIGHT HUNDREDTH installment of Flaky Pastry?… I mean, it's kind of obvious. I wrote a CYOA-style adventure for you to play! Once I started thinking about this possibility, and realized it WAS a possibility… I just had to. Luckily, that happened back in July, so I had plenty of time to make it a reality. Cause I needed that time!


What follows is just ranting. Feel free to read it, but maybe you'd prefer to go read the adventure, eh? Eeeh?


I often say that I'm not a writer. I know, I know, I've been writing this comic for nearly 15 years. But what I mean is that prose, specifically, is kind of really hard for me. I don't derive the same visceral enjoyment from it that I do from drawing. Making comics is a lot of work, but it's fun. To a certain extent, doing it is it's own reward, up in my brain. Writing? Not nearly as much! I'm sure someone who IS a writer could have done what I did much faster. Probably better. I needed pretty much all these months – around five, including a bit of vacation time I took specifically for this purpose. And this thing, this piece of writing it's about 23.5 thousand words. A big number, for sure! But then I think of all those writers who take the NaNoWriMo challenge every year, which is to right 50 thousand words in one month… I mean, it's meant to BE a challenge, but I don't think I'll ever get close to being able to do it.

That said, I have certainly written stuff, now. This adventure is well over three times as many words as Flaky Pastry 700, if you recall – that was around 7000 words in total. Maybe... maybe I'll write more one of these days. Hank Green (internet celebrity Hank Green) didn't think he could write a novel, and his first novel was great. And it has a sequel coming out this year, so I'm gonna watch for that. Faith Hicks (award-winning comic author Faith Hicks) also published her first novel last year, and that was also great! So should you watch for ME writing a novel? Eeeh… Maybe don't hold your breath.

About THIS adventure… it's more in the style of the CYOA books than the Fighting Fantasy books. You don't have to roll stats or battle. I didn't put any background code shenanigans, it's all just good old HTML hyperlinks travelling around the page. The one, huge page. Which means, of course, that you're free to 'cheat' however you like! I won't stop you, I'm not your dad! As long as you have fun! There are 25 endings. Of these, there are five where you die. Sorry! There are ten where you don't die, but still fail in some way. There's one where you don't even try! And then there are nine that I consider successes, in one way or another. Of these, there's one that's a clear 'to be continued'… does that mean that THAT ending is canon? There's one that is the very last numbered section… does that mean that THAT ending is canon? Weeeellll… not necessarily. As with most things, I will decide when it becomes relevant. And then you will find out!

Phew. I think I've written enough for a while. A HUGE thank you to Mouse and Zion for helping me edit this! As always, I'm open to questions, comments, harangues and ovations. There's a facebook, twitter, dead message board. Do join my Discord server! Nobody there bites. Tell your friends, family, children 13 and up, coworkers but only if they're cool, etc. I put a lot of my sweat, tears and words into this and I sincerely hope you enjoy it!

Be excellent to each other and stay flaky!


See you next week. XD

Flaky Pastry celebrates 14 years of half-baked goodness!
Posted by Falingard on Wednesday, April 24, 2019, 12:01 AM

Updated!
Happy pastry day to you! Happy pastry day to me! Happy pastry day to everybody! I suppose I can't be consistently surprised at having made it this far after so long. But still. Thank you to all of you, my readers! Your enthusiasm helps keep me going.

If you're new here, hello! This is just a silly comic I do for fun, but a lot of people enjoy it, so I must be doing one or more things right? Right??? Over 760 pages in the archives is daunting, I know! But please consider giving it a try! Here are some entry points you might consider...

  • The Picnic of DOOM (9 pages): Zintiel goes on a picnic with her siblings near a possibly-haunted lake. Inspired by a weird dream I had one time.
  • Drama (9 pages): Not actually dramatic. But it does involve amateur theatre... and a love triangle? I spent over a year doing little stories I called 'Slices', and this is a fine one to start with.
  • Curse of the Un-icorn: Overture (15 pages): Another Slice mostly separate from everything else. Three otherwise-minor characters go on an organized dungeon adventure. Currently just a satisfyingly-self-contained first chapter, but I plan to continue it someday!
  • Rivalkyries (116 pages): The entire 5th story arc of the comic... it's where the main trio meet and must contend with the rival trio. Surely the most epic story arc that the comic had seen at that point, as well as a good introduction to the characters.
  • Sprockets and Old Ones (one page; a 7000-word illustrated short story): The main characters and friends have a tabletop roleplaying session!
  • The Cast page is also a good place to look. If say you've read a few pages, and want to know how often a character shows up, you can click on their name or face and get linked to all the pages that character has appeared in.
  • The current story arc! (??? pages): The main characters return home after being away for a while, so there are hijinks and catching up before diving into new adventures. The art is obviously the best it's been so far, and if it all intrigues you, you might then want to check out...
  • The actual beginning! (ALL the pages): Honestly a really good place to start too.
If you like what you see, and want to keep track of further updates, or come talk to me and other fans, there are a number of ways to do that!
  • The Facebook page is probably the most active! It's closing in on 1500 likes, has a post every Friday when I update, plus occasional fun posts throughout the week.
  • The Discord server is a good place for hanging out and chatting about this and that. (If you find an invite link that doesn't work, it's probably expired - you'll probably find one that works on a more recent page!)
  • Twitter? I have one, but it's not used all that often. Partly because I still can't figure out if it's my personal Twitter or Flaky Pastry's Twitter? Anyway, I try to remember to post about the comic updating each time. But sometimes I forget! Not much else happens there.
  • The RSS feed. I don't even have to remember to update this one. It's automatic!
  • My DeviantArt page is updated sometimes, with art both Pastry-related and not! (I may have started drawing 81 hypothetical children of various Pastry characters combined, for example)
  • The wiki that fans have started is definitely a work in progress, but if that's your thing, help is welcome!
  • This message board has been around forever and still works, but honestly hardly anyone still uses it XD
  • Is TopWebcomics still relevent? Well, either way you can vote for Flaky Pastry on it if you want!
Of course, the really big milestone will be 15 years in 2020! I feel like I need to do something big for that... I don't know what, but I guess I have a year to think about it. Hope to see you all still around then!

Sprockets and Old Ones
Posted by Falingard on Friday, January 12, 2018, 1:00 PM

Updated!
This week, on Flaky pastry... something completely different! (and a little early)

So here we are... 700 pages of Flaky Pastry! But this latest page left me with a series of conundrums. For these hundredth pages, I usually step away from the 'main story', and give secondary characters a time to shine... but since the time of page 600, I've started doing Slices, which are basically just that all the time. I could turn the concept around, and use page 700 to go back to the main story for a time... but what even is the main story?

One thought I had was, since this would happen about two thirds of the way through the current Slice, Future Teens, I could just use the page to finish that story in one go... but that didn't feel awesome enough. Then I thought I could make a different kind of side story, starring all the main characters of the comic, but not really. I had, a while back, as a fun exercise, asked myself what the Flaky Pastry characters would come up with if they ever took up tabletop roleplaying. Perhaps a session of that would be a good story to tell for page 700! I even had another thing with steampunk characters I had created to use as NPCs in the game.

As I started coming up with ideas for the story, I eventually realized something... I could tell some sort of story, but for it to feel real, I kind of had to tell an entire roleplaying session from beginning to end... and there was kind of no way to do that in even the monstrously-sized comic pages I usually make for the hundredths. And besides, what would I show? Marelle, Nitrine and Zintiel as they play? Their roleplaying characters in-universe? A mixture of both? Perhaps there was a way out of this...

So I decided to do something radical. I would write a short story... just some text with a couple of illustrations. You may or may not realize this, but I'm not a writer. I can see some of you raising your eyebrows and making faces. How am I not a writer? I've been writing this webcomic for nearly 13 years! Well, that's true, but that is comic writing. It's just some dialog, with images doing most of the work. Actual prose scares me. Luckily, since this is an account of a roleplaying session, pretty much all it is is people talking. I can still let the images do the hard work. Still, this was a little scary for me. And then when I finally finished writing it, I had barely over a week left to do 20+ illustrations... Eeeeeh... that's fine, right?

Luckily, it was. Yay! I had planned to do a number of things during my winter holiday vacations, but I didn't end up doing all of them. I did do the most important, though. And that's Flaky Pastry page 700. The ability to create... just create whatever... is one of the most enjoyable things in life, to me. Sharing what I create and having people enjoy it is just a little below that, but still a significant source of joy. So even though this was a lot of work, it was worth it! As I do after basically every other hundredth page, I swear I'll make it smaller next time. Maybe. I dunno.

Oh, and Choice of Pastry is also still going on!

This week, on Flaky pastry... happy Halloween! As is tradition, here's a wallpaper of my characters in costume as something else! Perhaps you're familiar with the anime Revolutionary Girl Utena? Well you should be, it came out 20 years ago. Anyway, it's awesome and I only got around to actually watching all of it earlier this year. That's when I thought: Yeah, this'll be great for a Halloween picture! I also thought: Flaky Pastry is kind of halfway between Utena and Duck Tales. But I digress! Enjoy!

Come back next week, because more comics are in the future!

Coming up next... something completely different! But first, next week being the last Friday before Halloween, you know what that means! I've known exactly what I wanted to do for this year's Halloween wallpaper for months, and I'm looking forward to it!

This week, on Flaky pastry... flirting intensifies!

Like I said on the facebook page earlier this week... today is the 685th page of Flaky Pastry! Aside from the fact that I'm personally amazed to have kept going this long, it also means that Flaky Pastry 700 is coming up fast. (Fast as in more than three months, but still)

We all know that when these 100-page milestones come around, I like to do a short side story, but it seems kind of weird to do that when I've been doing short sides stories in the main comic for a while, now (and am unlikely to have stopped by the time we get there) ...so I'm not sure what to do with that!

I could just take one of my planned Slices, and try to fit it all in one giant page like usual, or make a short MAIN story instead, whatever that means. Maybe I could answer questions like the very first Flaky Pastry 100... or I could do something completely different.

What do you all think?

By the way, if you're curious about the play that Nitrine is performing in... well it's not a real play, obviously. I just took characters from a story/world concept I came up with a while back... you can see all the characters that were mentioned, including those on-stage in this last panel, over on my deviantart gallery.

This week, on Flaky pastry... so many things! First off, we have this guest comic from mckee11223, who makes the webcomic Abnormal Geometry. Check it out!

Second, we have a new fanart! Sweet! It's been a while, I didn't even remember how the gallery worked! It's from Grey, who does the webcomic The Metallic. Check it out too!

And third, I don't know if you've heard of a little game called Magic: the Gathering? Well, I'm not doing anything official with them XD ...but as a fan, I've been making custom cards representing various characters and things from Flaky Pastry, just for fun! So if that's something you're curious to see, head over to the comic's Facebook page, because that is where I have been posting them! Why not give the page a like while you're there, if you haven't already?

This week, on Flaky Pastry... a story no one asked for or expects... about Prism going on a date! This shall be the first of these I like to call SLICES of Flaky Pastry...

Funny story. I'm calling the penguin thief 'Drake North'. This might seem like a reference to the main character of the Uncharted series (Nathan Drake) and his voice actor (Nolan North), but that's only a fortuitous coincidence. I just initially called him Drake, because that's a name that refers to a bird (yes I know a drake is a male duck and not a penguin), and added North to point to COLD (yes I know penguins live in Antarctica, which is south). Okay, maybe the story's not that funny.

Next week, on Flaky Pastry... ... I was planning on running guest comics, but I haven't received any yet, so we'll see. With the holidays and all, it's not that surprising that people couldn't find the time! If you are a person who expressed interest in making one, no rush! I'll just start my SHORT SIDE STORIES, and I can run the guest comics later, between in with those! So in other words... ... you have tons of time! And if anyone else wants to make a guest comic? It's not too late!

This week, on Flaky Pastry... that's it! The end of the whole Elf Kingdom story arc! Thanks for reading... there's more to come!

Still looking for questions and suggestions and guest comics. I actually haven't gotten many questions I feel I could answer in a satisfying way! On the other hand, With both my ideas and suggestions from readers, I think I could make many side stories, lasting for a PRETTY LONG WHILE. How would you all feel about that? Flaky Pastry was never meant as a long story comic anyway, so for me taking a break from the main characters and the so-called 'main plot', such as it is, wouldn't be a big deal. But let me know what you think!

This week, on Flaky Pastry... Hey!

It's official, I'm soon going to run out of wrapping-up material to end this arc. I've figured the numbers and, barring unforeseen setbacks, the end of it will correspond with the end of 2016! This might mean a few things, and I will need YOUR input on these things.

ONE. I will most likely run a Croissant's Corner page! To this end, I wouldn't mind collecting questions from you, the readers! Anything you're curious about? If it's not too mysterious-on-purpose, Croissant might just give you an answer!

TWO. I have a good idea where I'm going with the next arc, but I have considered running one or two short 'Tales of Flaky Pastry'-style micro-arcs before that. You know, just a little side-story in a handful of pages. Anything you'd like to see? Yes, this is basically overlaps the first point, but my answers to your questions can be a bit longer in this format. Or a lot. This depends how interested you all are, and how inspired I am!

THREE. I might also run some GUEST COMIC pages! Webcomics do that sometimes, don't they? This, of course, requires people to provide them. Does anyone here have the time and inclination for it?

You people are awesome, by the way. Stay flaky!

This week, on Flaky Pastry... we're back!

Sorry about last week, I got a tiny bit lazy, nothing unusual, and then couldn't make up the difference because of various things that happened, for example an extra helping of D&D, being without internet for a day or two... and depressing US election results. I don't typically talk politics on here, or personal stuff, and I understand that's not everyone's jam, but I felt I needed to say something this time.

Now, I am male... white... straight... and Canadian. The privileged class, right? The US election results are not likely to touch me directly, and yet I found myself quite affected by them. If you read this comic at all, you must know that I totally support everyone's right to be who they are without fear of being judged, discriminated against, or otherwise attacked. At least, as long as they don't do those things onto others. I support diversity, openness and acceptance. I guess I thought... a bigger majority felt that way. Hang in there, readers in the US and elsewhere. I don't know most of you personally, but I know for a fact that you are all important. You are all special. You all deserve a place in the world. A safe place. You all deserve to be loved. You keep on being you. I'm just a lone, crazy artist, not quite a shut-in but close; I can't change the world, but I can keep making this dumb comic and filling it with love and laughter. And you bet I'm gonna do it.


No update this week

Just a heads-up: because of temporary difficulties, there will be NO UPDATE of Flaky Pastry this week. Next week, for sure!

Until then... Have you heard about Rogue Skies?

One of the many so-called OCTs (for Original Character Tournaments) that are popular on deviantArt, it took place in 2008-2009, and I participated in it... with one of my characters entered being perhaps a familiar face.

No new comic page, but over 40 old pages you may or may not have seen!

Sorry, everyone! I'd like to say that I took a week off to celebrate Flaky Pastry's 11th anniversary (April 24th, wooooo!) but, sadly, the truth is much less awesome: a combination of a slightly more busy week than usual and a ridiculous spring cold (achoo!) left me with juuust a bit too little time and energy to finish the comic. I should be back to full health in plenty of time to update next Friday, and then we can go back to find out what's up with Zintiel!

In the meantime, may YOU take some time for yourself this weekend for the 11th Flakyversary!

This week, on Flaky Pastry... this is it! Flaky Pastry 600! WOOOO.... Hope you don't mind we take a break from the crisis at hand and check in with the rival trio! Yes, this acts as a sequel to page 200 and 400... I don't know, is there a trend forming here?

I'm not going to lie, this was a LOT of work. I started sketching for it back in my Christmas holiday, and kept it up practically the whole time, while still doing the regular updates. But you know the funny thing? It was FUN! I really enjoyed it! I regret sleeping less than usual and missing a few game nights, but working on this filled me with so much energy... Kind of unreal. At the same time I would NOT do this all the time. I'm glad it's over and I can go back to being lazy! Four panels a week is the life for me!

Enjoy, friends! And stay flaky!

This week, on Flaky Pastry... Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays! 'Tis the season to forget your worries and take some time for yourself. Seeing your friends and relatives is always nice, gifting and partying and overeating are all well and good, but don't forget to relax, take a load off, just chill for a while. Like Nitrine. And like me!

See you guys next year, on the 8th of January!

This week, on Flaky Pastry... words to live by!

So Christmas is coming up soon... in a week, pretty much! But if I update on Friday as usual, everybody will be too busy christmas-ing to see it, and when they do it'll be too late! So my plan right now is to update at some point during the week before Friday with my traditional Christmas wallpaper. THEN I will take a week off, because it's the holidays, after all... which means the story will continue January 8th, 2016!

This week, on Flaky Pastry... Happy Halloween!

Though I did ask for suggestions on what costumes to put the crew in on the Facebook page, I'm sorry to say I didn't end up using anyone's suggestion XD ...TIME itself ended up providing the idea just last week! ...if you didn't know (but you probably did), it was October 21st, 2015 that Marty McFly time-travelled to in Back to the Future 2... a year 2015 that was quite different from how it turned out in our timeline! Anyway, the internet exploded with Back to the Future nostalgia, and I figured WHY NOT join in... a week late for that, but in time for the yearly Halloween wallpaper.

Not to mention that (and I just realized this) this page is number five hundred and EIGHTY EIGHT MILES PER HOUR!!!

IN OTHER NEWS... phew, I was off my game this week. Almost didn't update at all, guys. Drawing like crap and not motivated... at home, anyway. Strangely, what I draw for my day job is coming out just fine. Boy, my day job. I should tell you about it sometime! In fact, I think I'll be able to pretty soon. STAY TUNED.

TEN YEARS of Flaky Pastry
Posted by Falingard on Friday, April 24, 2015, 1:30 PM

Comic updated!
On this day, ten years ago, I published the very first page of Flaky Pastry. Wow. That seems like forever ago! If you'd told me back then that I would still be doing this ten years later, I'd have been a liiiittle bit skeptical. But here we are.
I sort of wanted to do something extra-special, but wouldn't you know, didn't have enough time. I barely had time to make this shiny wallpaper with images from the last 5 years (cause the 5-year anniversary picture had images from the first five years!). I'm sure evryone (myself included) would have loved a more modern website... hopefully I'll get around to it. It would have been awesome to unveil that for the tenth anniversary, but not if I had to rush it. So, I just did what I've been doing since the start... concentrate on updating the content!
Thank you, dear readers. It's your continued support and enthusiasm that keeps me going.

I don't want to say 'To another ten years', but... To another ten years!

This week, on Flaky Pastry... Everything goes without a hitch!

And you know what ELSE went well? That project I mentioned a few times already where I draw kids for 36 potential pairings of Pastry characters! I am happy to report that it is now DONE. And it didn't even take a whole year. What can I say? I was having fun! If you ever wondered what a child of Nitrine and the neighbour, or Zintiel and Kurt looks like... I invite you all to have a look!

This week, on Flaky Pastry... Nitrine notices everything!

Also, TWO THINGS. First thing, Valentine's Day is coming up. I know it's a made-up holiday, and I'm single too, but for some reason I don't hate it. Remember last year I gave you a Neirelle wallpaper? This year I'm thinking of doing something similar. You may VOTE to help me decide what exactly! This will require you to have an account either on deviantArt, or on my old-tech message board.

The second thing is that I have taken lately to broadcasting the work I do on Flaky Pastry (aand occasionally other pictures) for people to watch, over on picarto. There is no set schedule for this, just whenever I happen to have time. If you are interested in seeing how the comic is made, I imagine your best bet is to sign up on picarto and Follow my channel (there are also tons of fascinating artists to gawk at there!). I also try to give a notice to my watchers on deviantArt when I stream.

That's it for this week! Enjoy!

No update this week!
Posted by Falingard on Friday, December 19, 2014, 12:01 AM

It would seem that the plan I have for a Christmas picture/wallpaper is a slightly larger bite than my current chewing capacity. So tell you what I'll do. I will post that on next Tuesday, December 23rd. With all the holidaying going on, I don't believe I would have been able to produce a comic on the 26th even if I was done with the Christmas picture already. So the next actual comic page will be NEXT YEAR! On Friday, January 2nd 2015, to be exact. At least that's the idea.

Fewer comics, more celebrating with friends and family! 'tis the season!

In other news... it's summer! Oratleast... it has been for a few weeks. And an art jam group over on deviantart has inspired me to design up some swimsuits onto the FP girls... First there was Nitrine, then Croissant... followed by Clockgirl, who's probably not in the comic, and then Marelle and Zintiel. Fun to do, but getting harder and harder as it went on... Anyway, hope you enjoy them!

About the RSS
Posted by Falingard on Sunday, May 25, 2014, 6:30 PM

No comic update today! I mean, it's Sunday. That's normal.

But I am posting this bit of news to inform you, my readers of Things. I've been informed that the RSS feed went dead about a month ago, and upon closer inspection it seems the service I was relying on for it closed down, so I had to cobble something together to replace it. I believe I've done an okay job at it. You guys should update your bookmarks, if you are using RSS feeds at all... the lovely orange rss icon at the top of the page has been updated with the new link. Enjoy! And let me know if anything is screwed up again!

Sadly and ironically, people following the old RSS won't see this. :(

SPEAKING OF WHICH. You, my reader friends, might be interested in a little experiment I tried in recent weeks over on deviantart... namely, figuring out what the theoretical children of various Pastry characters would look like. Needless to say, it was fun! And now that that's done, you're all invited to vote on which ones I'll draw more than a portrait of - Links to the polls are in the description of the image linked. (I think you might need a deviantart account to vote?)

Early update because why not!
This week, on Flaky Pastry... now I don't usually interrupt the comic for Valentine's Day, even when I do something semi-special for it... but this time I felt like it. Maybe I'm still tired from 500. Anyway, I had a poll on my deviantArt page about which couple people would like to see, and these were the winners! I'm not sure why, but I felt like drawing them in a Film Noir setting... so I did. Hope you guys enjoy it! A wallpaper version is also available. Happy Valentine's Day to all!

This week, on Flaky Pastry... it's over! Thanks for reading this little episode of crazy. You know, the one I told you about back in November, below page 489? The one that came to me in a dream years ago? That was it! Pretty weird, huh? Hope you enjoyed it! It was awesome for me to finally put it down in comic form.

I have some less pleasant news as well, though. I'm afraid I have to announce that there won't be an update next week! I won't get into every little detail, but suffice to to say I've hit a few snags with pastry 500, and in order to make it as awesome as it should be, I'll have to take some more time. Hope to see you all back here in two weeks! Until then, stay flaky!

This week, on Flaky Pastry... Another day goes by.

Hey! Next week I'm starting a little scene that I have had running through my head for a long long time. I think it was inspired by a dream originally, but it's hard to remember clearly now. It certainly predates the start of the comic by a few years! It's a little episode I am quite fond of, and I hope you guys will like it too!

This should take us all the way to page 500. FLAKY PASTRY 500! It's coming! This January! I made a little poll on deviantart, if you feel like trying to guess what it'll be about!

This week, on Flaky Pastry... I try to explain that anybody who purposefully uses magic in any way is a wizard... even if it's just a warrior with a flaming sword, or a kid who's protected by a spirit, who have no magical powers of their own. Mages are also wizards, but incredibly more versatile, and often -but by no means always- more powerful than other non-mage wizards. Also explosions.


No, you!

This week, on Flaky Pastry... is she honestly that clueless? Perhaps not honestly.

And hey! You may not have heard of this, but there is this amusing thing some people are organizing down at deviantArt called the Miss OC Pageant! I don't know how much explanation it needs? It's a virtual beauty pageant for 'original characters'! Because I am a fun-loving, if somewhat crazy person, I have entered two characters of mine. One you may not remember, Sage, and one you certainly do, Zintiel - Zintiel from the future, that is! And already the first round has started, and I've submitted Zintiel's entry, which you may find somewhat.... explosive.

This week, on Flaky Pastry... you didn't think I'd really forget about him, did you?

So! As you all might have guessed, this particular arc is quickly winding down to a close. Just a few loose ends to tighten up... no more than a handful of pages. I was thinking I could do this thing that I have often done, though not every time, and have a Croissant's Corner before the start of the new arc! For this, I would like to ask my readers (that's you) for help. Are there any questions you would like answered in this informative interlude? Not necessarily questions addressed to the characters, like what happened in Pastry 100 -though that's alright too- just any old question about Flaky Pastry, its world, its plot, its characters. Doesn't even have to be about the current arc! Of course I most likely won't answer everything, but I'll definitely pick at the very least one interesting, not-already-obvious, not-too-spoilery question.

I want to know what people want to know!

To send me these questions, the forum is a good place. I think I have an e-mail link around here somewhere too. Basically any way you can find to contact me should do.

BUT there's a new piece on the site now too, by the artist that does the webcomic Threads from the Blue Rock Tapestry.

You can re-read the whole thing if you don't believe me!

Hey! Maybe you missed it, but Last weekend, April 1st, was Fanservice Day! It's true! Aja from True Magic started it, and this year I participated with this little picture, which you can check out on deviantArt, along with links to all the other Fanservice Day pictures I am aware of.

This week, on Flaky Pastry, words are enunciated!

It looks as if Flaky Pastry has been entered in a webcomics tournament? That's cool, though I had no previous knowledge of it. But then, with 128 comics entered, there's a lot of comics in there. Still, I'm honoured! Not doing too well against A Softer World in this first round so far, though. So if any of you want to head over to the site and vote, you're welcome to! Considering voting for the first round ends this Friday at midnight, however, it's highly possible I'll be out of the running by the time you read this.
>> This way! <<

Why not vote for your other favourite comics in their respective match-ups while you're at it?

This week, on Flaky Pastry, some people just don't listen. And some people still have really fun faces to draw.

Incidentally, I updated the cast page with some of the characters that have been featured more or less recently. It was sort of customary for me to update it after each story arc with the new characters from the arc, but I have been lax for a while - anyway I haven't put all these goblins in it yet, the update is about other characters.

This week, on Flaky Pastry, back to the grind. The regular one. Nevermind that my computer had to get repaired and I was without it for several days, and that my washing machine broke at the same time, and that I was scheduled to go see a movie instead of work on the comic the night before my update. You're still getting a comic anyhow! The movie was The Secret world of Arrietty, by the way. Go see it.

This week, on Flaky Pastry, it's page 400!

Phew, this was a lot of work, as I'm sure you can imagine. I hope you all enjoy it! It was a gruelling but exciting experience on my end. I simply had to hurry and finish the previous two pages early, and then devote every waking moment (outside of work) to it! Okay, that's an exaggeration, but only a small one. You'll notice I didn't do anything for Valentine's Day. I don't always do something for it, but often I try to. Too busy to even think much about it, this year! So yes, again, I hope you all enjoy this short side-story, and seeing what some other characters get up to, even though the main story-focus is away from them - as well as following up to Flaky Pastry 200.

As usual, this is also a wallpaper, but for (gasp) the first time, I've made it widescreen also. Consider it a Christmas miracle! I'll definitely make any new wallpapers with the widescreen option, and probably go over adding that to the old ones as much as possible.

Also, hi! I've gotten out of the habit of writing something interesting in this space. Anyway. While I do know where I'm going generally with this story arc, I ran out of ideas for what to do right now immediately. So instead of week after week of Marelle and Arlen chatting about elven years or halfling wheat, I thought a few short weeks of this flashback might be more interesting!

Comic updated!
I've typed that phrase so many times this week it's growing on me. Yes, I can sometimes get obscurely self-referential! In case you are not a crazy fan who remembers everything (or the author), here's a hint: you've seen this guy before a few times. At other times, you've heard someone else talk about him, or you saw him but didn't know it was him. Yeeeah, it's all coming together behind the scenes and not affecting the main plot at all! ...aside from more or less directly causing the whole previous story arc? But this all has nothing to do with Prism finding him cute, though this kind of coincidence is just what you should expect from me!

In other news! Brought to you by random inspiration, we have a new wallpaper in the art section! You can even go fave it on deviantart if you're into that sort of thing!

People may or may not have noticed, but for the last few weeks I've been experimenting with sprinkling some gradients in my usual blocky shading. I can do smooth shading just fine, but this method of making cell shading look like smooth shading with minimal effort is still new to me, and I'm not entirely sure how to do it well. So. Uh. Bear with me! (Bear. Rawr.)

I realized last week a lot of people seemed to assume Sir Manfred was free again after the events of the Rivalkiries story arc.... but nope! Can't let him off that easy! The exit he thought he found was blocked by an entire collapsing building, leaving only space for his head again. All this (indefinite amount of) time, he's been exploring whatever subterranean cracks he can find, feeding on the remnants of the dungeon creatures (Omega Murder Blast affects one target!) and other beasties. He did once say that Snots tasted foul, but were surprisingly filling, after all. You can just think of Sir Manfred as The Dragon in the Kitchen!

Definitely too many specials lately. Croissant's Corner, the pastryversary pic, now this! Lesson learned for me: when you make a comic six times larger than your normal comics, and still four times larger than your halfway-common 'large' comics... start on it EARLIER. I hope you all enjoy it!

Edit: Speaking of which.... EEEEEE! Aja (from True Magic) is sweet as candy and talented to match, and she made me fanart for my pastryversary!

You know what I really love? When people vote for Flaky Pastry on Topwecomics. Since, unlike most other comics, I DON'T post any so-called 'incentives', i.e. secret hidden pictures that only voters get to see, I know those who vote do it strictly to support the comic, to make it rise in the ranks, and get more hits from people checking the list out... all without any reward (aka bribing from me), simply out of their unconditional love for Flaky Pastry. So to all you guys and girls who do this selfless thing, week after week, perhaps even everyday... thank you.

Okay, so USUALLY for Valentine's day,it just randomly happens that with very few adjustments, I can have a romantic strip on the nearest update before the holiday. It just happened that way for many years! But this year, sadly, it was quite the opposite! This strip is rather depressing from a romantic standpoint, and I didn't realize V-day was coming quite early enough to think of a replacement. But let it be known that I still fully support mushiness if you happen to have someone to get mushy with! And if you don't, well, don't lose hope!

Drum roll, please

And here are the winners, folks, of the very first Flaky Pastry Fan Contest!
Starting with the honourable mentions and working our way up to the big winner:

First In, First Out! Such is the prize Kashim wins not only for being the first to submit an entry in the contest, but for doing a pretty damn good cosplay/photomanipulation of the neighbour in dungeon gear! Rest, stealth commando! The next wave of skeletons is just around the corner...

The Cup Holder prize goes to Aja, for her detail-gasmic 3D model of Nitrine's dream car! There's even some magazines... to read while driving at 90mph on the freeway.

The movement, the colour! The special Movement and Colour prize goes to MonkeyDomi's entry. Of course it helps that the faces are super cute and the clothing designs WHACKY.

Ye Olde Timey Awarde goes to Wings of Wrath. His interpretation of an old comic book cover really captures that pulp feeling with theme, layout, and wear & tear effects!

And a very honourable mention for Sheer Epicness goes to Chris Chalice's Purifier Over Zazabul, a massive, action-packed fan fiction! Airships! Pirates! Dark elves! Orcs! Better write off at least half an hour in your day planner, cause this one'll keep you busy.

Supplemental drum roll, please.

The runner-up of this whole competition (sadly, no fancy prize title!) is Lomebririon with his stylishly dressed, statuesque and vividly-coloured Zintiel! ...not to mention the added bonus of the alternate version, in which we recognize our good old crazy elf! Dressing up for a night out is one thing, but there better be something FUN to do there. Ouch!

Last, but oh-so-not-least is our grand prize winner! Nau actually went and made a whole MySpace page for our favourite hostess, Croissant! Can you believe that? I couldn't! By a whole page, I mean it has tons of short posts, a bunch of much longer ones describing the events of her fanfictitious life, all the profile info including her me-referencing favourite shows and movies, photos of the Croissant sock puppet made for this purpose, AND a video of said puppet in action, video-blogging and singing!

That is all, folks! Or is it? I've posted the whole WHOPPING thirty entries on the Art page, and I strongly urge you to check them all out because they are all awesome! I loved them all, and I want to thank everyone sooooo much for participating!

I am also doing a rather fun thing (well -I- thnik it's fun), where I'm creating a character based on poll results. I guess I'd get even more response if I did it on here?

Very sorry, dear readers, but there are going to be a few changes to the comic. Don't worry, it's still continuing! Only I will no longer be providing the art. You see, it was just getting too much for me, besides, I've been hired to take over art duties on No Crap!, and I just couldn't pass up the opportunity.

So starting now, I've tapped the services of my good friend Jon Dalton to take over for me here. Due to his schedule, updates will take place on Wednesday. I'll still be writing the stories, of course. Jon might make a few tweaks here and there, but these are my characters and I can't let them go! Still, I hope the change is not too drastic for you, dear readers, and that you'll continue to read Flaky Pastry! (as well as continue/start to read No Crap!)

Well the site hasn't been redesigned again, but I did make an alternate header image for it, featuring our national hero, Sage. It's pretty epic. There are now two different headers that rotate randomly, so you might have to reload a few times to see both. What's that site again? It's Sage Comics.

Two things in Flaky Pastry I am glad to be rid of, at least for the time being. First, the darkened ambience effect for nighttime. That was one more layer in every file, always a delicate balance between making things dark yet keeping everything recognizable. All in all, I prefer bright daytime colours myself. Secondly, Nitrine's super suit. OH THE DETAIL. I actually tried to keep it relatively simple, and spent a lot of time reworking a very old design for it to be both cool and easy to draw over and over into the comic. It really wasn't all that bad, but by this time I'm glad to have a good long break from drawing it. Will it ever make a triumphant return? Perhaps! But that is story for ANOTHER TIME.

And oh, look! It's Friday the 13th. BWHAHAHAHA. ...nothing special for that going on.

An update in the middle of the week? It's been a while! What's going on? Well, it's going on that we have a guest comic, courtesy of the magnanimously munificient Aja of True Magic. SHower her with hits, friends! I have been planning to run a string of guest comics after this story arc is over, but though that is coming up soon, it won't be christmas time anymore by then!

So I just had to run this now. I always wanted to do a Flaky Pastry gift exchange comic, but I always start thinking about it too late to be able to do it for Christmas... but this year, someone else thought of it for me! Sweet!

Well, congratulations to those who guessed correctly! To guess correctly, you had to know that this week was the Christmas picture, but ALSO that since we've already had one with the neighbour, Zintiel, and Nitrine, this one would feature Marelle. So... if you got it, bravo!

Either way, happy holidays to all! (Flaky Pastry is still totally updating next week, guys.)

I greatly appreciate comments and cheering on, even though in the end, the winners are decided by a panel of judges and not by popular vote. ;) I strongly encourage you to check out my opponent's version of that fight, as well as the many other entries - as many as you have time to read (and more)! They're all listed over here.

We are entering a short phase were many random cameos may occur in the comic. Why does this seem to happen near the end of story arcs? Though to be fair it only happened in this and the last one, not any of the ones before. Anyway... Can you catch them all?

I subtly hinted at it last week, but this week I can confirm it: I will be participating in Rogue Skies, what they call an Original Character Battle Tournament over on deviantArt. There is a MESS of those things going on there at all tiems now, so I thought I would try it out. This particular tourney has a steampunk sky pirate theme. If one of the characters in the tag team I entered seems familiar to you ... YOU MUST BE IMAGINING THINGS.

I am trying to whip up the people from Sage Comics into doing a collective improv comic project. Enthusiasm is slow in coming, but I will corrupt them all! Mwhahaha, I say! I started things off with a little contest to design the main character, and you can VOTE to determine which entry it will end up being. (You'll need to register at the Sage Comics forum to do so, but that's not so bad, is it?) Note: Just because I linked you (and obviously you're a reader of my comic) doesn't mean I'm asking you to vote for my entry!

I was thinking, this would be a good opportunity to remind people about the Stuff button, up there in the nav bar! Why? Well, for one thing, I've had a handful of people leave messages on my deviantart gallery, dazed and amazed at finding me on that site! But the link has been in my Stuff section forever! I've actually been on deviantart longer than this comic has been going on.

Also! This week I've finally updated my side comic, Outrageous Teen Assassin Aiko, after almost a year of not doing so. And I've decided, I should probably link to it in Stuff, even though I link to each new page in my art blog, Jogging, as I post them (This is also Stuff that is linked). Before you read OTAA, you may want to read OCAA, Outrageous Child Assassin Aiko, the 24-hour comic of which OTAA is the sequel. There are even one or two more things of interest there - things that are not strictly Flaky Pastry related, but done by me nonetheless!

Notice how I didn't put any links in this whole entry? It's because I want you to check out the Stuff button!

You too can discover things! I have joined the newly-formed comic collective Sage Comics. I admit it was mostly for me to increase traffic and get to know other webcomic creators, the tricks of their (our) trade. I also got some fanart from fellow members! And the only downside (if it can be called that) is the diagonal banner you see in the top corner. But it does link you, the reader, to a random comic every time you reload! I encourage you to check them out! There are a lot of good ones to discover on there.

I'm very sorry, my fans, but circumstances force me to return Flaky Pastry to a once-a-week schedule. As previously, this will be Friday evenings, though it may or may not be later than the 6:30pm that has become customary - that part we'll see.

Hopefully this will not turn off any readers, for there are still many exciting things to come on FLAKY PASTRY! (Same flaky time, same pastry channel?)

Halloween! It's tomorrow, but you still get a shiny picture today. It's the main cast of Flaky Pastry, out trick-or-treating! Probably Nitrine dragged them all out. And of course, it's also available as a wallpaper! I say of course, but I didn't think of it in previous years when I did specials like this. I should probably get around to correcting this soon.

About the costumes! I'm sure most of you will recognize at least one or two. To find out what the others are, feel free to peruse my webcomic links, you'll find all you need to know.

I also added another new wallpaper, based on a comic from a few weeks ago, that I had planned to do at the time but sort of forgot, and another from longer ago. All this reminds me that it's pretty easy to make wallpapers from existing comic panels. SO GUYS.

The plot thickens?

I'd like to take this occasion to thank all the readers who vote for my comic on Buzzcomix and Topwebcomics (by clicking on the buttons in the sidebar). Especially since I don't have any of the customary 'Vote incentives' that many other comics do, and yet thanks to you all Flaky Pastry is very often within the Top 100 on Buzzcomics (and usually not much further than 120 on Topwebcomics). I personally think vote incentives are a dishonest way to hoodwink people into voting for you. Whenever I draw Flaky Pastry-related material outside of the comic itself, you can be sure it'll be publically visible, wether or not you vote for me on those sites. I hope you vote anyway, but I won't force you!

As a matter of fact, these days on my sketch blog, Jogging, there are some hawt swimsuit pictures of various Flaky Pastry characters. Enjoy!

Old characters, new characters, old characters! I don't understand those comics where you have two to four main characters, and never or rarely anyone else. Sure there is lots of room for interaction with just those few, but I know -I- couldn't just always draw the same characters over and over!

It's bad enough that there's rarely ever a Flaky Pastry without one of the three girls.... Out of 135 (so far), there are only 8 (EIGHT!) (or nine, depending how you count this one) comics where none of the three appear! And four of those have the neighbour in them, and he's practically a main character anyway.

Again, I'm happy to change their clothes relatively often! Variety for the win.

It's challenging sometimes, coming up with new outfits relatively often, but it's ultimately fun! And keeps things fresh. And uh... I think my main characters are easy enough to recognize even though they dress differently! You'll notice I'm not afraid of changing hairstyles, too! Though it's not very noticeable here. Also: 126 strips into the comic, finally the answer to a question everyone wonders about? Perhaps! It's also time for the periodic cast page update.

Another one of these! Is it a coincidence that both have been right between story arcs? Mostly, yeah. But not completely.

Thus ends another story arc! Granted, I've been epiloguing (prolonging?) for almost ten strips now, but it's really over now! Granted, this arc didn't have much in the way of plot! It was really just a way for me to develop characters a bit, to just stick them in a room and have them interact and interreact. Nitrine got a suit, her cousins were introduced, Sir Manfred got out of the dungeon (so to speak), the neighbour did some stuff, Kurt got more spotlight than I thought he would! For a story arc with no plot, a lot happened!

In fact, from the way I arbitrarily separated past story arcs (see the Archive), this past arc was the second longest, after Real Adventure Dungeon Quest, which was pretty long. It was even longer than the romantic arc! I have lots of things left to decide about the next arc, but it will probably be more epic, with confrontations, suspense, blood, amorality! That is, if I don't decide to do something else first.

I'm curious how this particular page of the comic will be received! Will people scratch their heads? Will they understand what is being implied? Will they find it awesome? Will they wonder what that has to do with anything? Well, what do YOU think? The Forum is a good place to discuss it!

Don't look at me! I did research, I swear the skeleton is shaped exactly like that! Incidentally, this comic has no less than FOUR visual references to actual internet things - as well as a bunch of random junk which refers to nothing in particular. And a naked anthro.

Also, new fanart! Hawt!

Hey, guys. Some of you might be interested in knowing: I'm offering to do commissions for folks. You might not get a physical drawing to hold in your hands from it, but I'll happily draw my interpretation of your original character for a modest fee. Hurry, the number of those I'll do is after all limited. More info can be found at my deviantart page.

Not much more new stuff today. I did add a new, bigger banner for linking. Haha. I like that tagline, 'Fun - Danger - Romance - Frosting'. Better than the old 'A comic about nothing in particular'. That was pretty much the concept at the start, but like the About page says, it's really become about something over time, hasn't it?

It strikes me that perhaps these 'Comic Updated' links may be less relevent now that the main page -is- the updated comic. But they may still matter on the older newsposts below? And before being an older newspost, a newspost has to be a newer newspost.

Big news! As big as your screen? I've put up some snazzy wallpapers. They're lifted straight from the comic, but (of course) much higher-resolution, and pretty epic. If I ever do get that donation button up, it'll probably lead to original wallpapers, not from already-in-the-comic. That's my idea right now anyway.

Yes, on a Tuesday!
And as you can probably see, that's not all.

  • I've put the latest comic on the main page! Some comics do it, some don't. I hadn't up until now, but I decided to give it a try. I liked my previous splash image, though, so I included it in the title at the top instead of completely losing it.
  • Which makes the 'latest comic' button lead to the main page
  • Because of this, I removed 'Comic' from the navigation buttons atop the page. Also because there's no longer a blurb on the main page, I added an 'About' link, and I created a new 'Archive, page, instead of linking to Ohnorobot.
  • There's a sidebar here next to the news here on the front page! But why?
  • Well, as you see I sold out and registered to these vote-based 'Comic ranking' sites. Hopefully my soul is not forfeit by this act. So far I haven't sold out to the point of having actualy 'vote incentives', so if you vote for me it will be just because you think my comic is great, and not beause you want to see secret images that you couldn't see otherwise. I don't know, I may put some images there later.
  • I also put links to help people keep track of updates.
  • Later on, this space will be used for various additional things... If I need to have some persistent news, that remains visible for a long time. I'll probably put some more Project Wonderful ads, and maybe a Paypal Donation button. (possibly leading to ever more secret pictures? Psh.)
The site is still somewhat in flux, so don't be surprised if a few details change again in the coming weeks.

Oh... yes. About updating Tuesday. I can't say I'll commit to doing that all the time from now on, but at least for a while, this is how it's going to be. Two comics per week. One Tuesday evening, one Friday evening. Enjoy!

You may not have noticed! But this and the two comics previous were meant to sort of expand the characterization of each individual 'cousin', as opposed to having them as just a group. Ironically, these strips were presented in the reverse order of how they're usually listed (Griplen, Graplen, Groplen), despite the fact that it may have fitted better story-wise to do it in the right order? But it could not be helped, I just came up with the idea of each strip in that order. I'm mostly picking at nits to have something to write here, though. :D

Since I don't often have much to say here, I'll tell you about some more comic links I've added! Some I've been reading for a while, or that I discovered just yesterday.

I don't think I need to say much about Order of the Stick, since it's one of the aboslute most popular comics out there. But it is that with good reason, and if you're one of the two or three people that don't read it already, give it a try!

One with a less daunting backlog is Marry Me, which is gearing up to be a quirky romantic comedy about a pop star and some guy she married. And... I love the art!

Last but not least, the whimsical adventures of Minus, a strange little girl. I... well... it's kind of surreal, but awesome?

I have just received my Flaky Pastry merchandise! I ordered some stuff from my own Cafepress store. So now, I can walk around everywhere with my Flaky Pastry t-shirt, and people will ask: Hey, what's that? And I can tell them: That's my webcomic! You should check it out!

Or rather, I -could- do that... if it wasn't still freezing cold outside with snow everywhere! I also got the clock, of course, because it's probably the coolest thing ever, and the pastry apron - because. Hahaha. When I get more time I should make some more punchy, original t-shirts, but I might never get motivated if people don't show more interest in the store XD

Posted by Falingard on Friday, March 30, 2007, 6:30 PM

Now I've touched on this subject before, but let's do it again. Just about every slightly important character you see in the comic, has had a previous existence inside my head, and comes with all sorts of stories never told, or told only to some very few people. All this to say: Sir Manfred returns to his roots in the comic today. And if you're someone who knew him before the comic, and you didn't see this coming... SHAME AND STUPOR! You lose points.

Most of you though, just know him as the hungry landowner of our girls, and for you I say: enjoy the comic!

The Ferrett has written a largely positive review of Flaky Pastry, which also doubles as an editorial on the appeal and necessity of both serious comics and funny comics (I'll let you guess which category Flaky Pastry fits into), and the analysis thereof. This is the first review I've gotten, as in something more than one or two sentences, and not written by someone I know. And this is cool! So, thank you, The Ferrett! And as always, welcome to new readers! The comic is there for you, every friday night (saturday morning?), and you're more than welcome to post on the forum if you have comments!

One hundredth Pastry is also the largest pastry ever! All this because... I couldn't resist answering more questions than I said I would. Because, after all, without all you faithful readers, I might have made it this far with the comic... but it would never have been this much fun! So, even though I already said it, and someone else says it for me in the comic... Thank you, thank you all! I hadn't imagined I would make it this far... though I had planned for it, as evidenced by the three-digit numbers on each strip... guess I haven't planned for reaching 1000 strips? But only time will tell!

There is an update today, because of the holiday, and because the comic that would normally happen next friday just happened to fit TOO well, especially considering the strip from last year.

But wait, that's not all! If you follow the numbers at the top of the strips, you see that #100 is coming up soon. That's a pretty big thing for me! So I am planning a little something-something. Read all about it on this forum thread.

I know some might see this in a negative light (I bet you wouldn't have noticed if I wasn't posting about it!), but it has me pretty excited: there are now ads on Flaky Pastry. These are provided by Project Wonderful, a project which is wonderful indeed! It has allowed me, with its free registration easy-to-use features and bidding system, to get more exposure for my comic. Now others can get exposure from my website, for the low low price (per day) you can see below the currently displayed ads.

Also, new comic links! (they are boldened on the links page - but feel free to click all of them - and the ads above the page, why not? - nobody makes money based on the number of clicks)

Technically the story arc ended last week, but next week is a Christmas thing, after which I'll start the new story arc. That means this week was all alone! Sad. So in the meantime, a gag with Kurt and Nitrine!

The Cast section has been updated with pretty much aaaaalll the new characters that have appeared in this story arc. Man, when will I ever stop adding them? No, of course not! A surprising thing I noticed: The male characters now outnumber the females! Knowing me, I find that surprising.

Also of interest is the Stuff link, which is Stuff I do outside Flaky Pastry! It's mostly a way to pimp my art blog, Jogging (hint! hint!) and my deviantart page (hint! hint!), but also a good place to link to some other side projects I have done/will do, such as my 24-hour comic, and that old chicken comic I contributed to way back in the day! So, watch that space.

I also added a new picture I drew to the art page! A little bit of Nitrine for those who miss her. She'll be back, don't worry!

It's a crazy challenge, and I might just be crazy enough to try it. Basically, stay up 24 hours straight, producing a 24-page comic. It won't be Pastry, as the challenge involves improvisation, but I'll most likely upload the results sometime next week, wether I succeed or fail! So, wish me luck!

This week you get some... site news! News about the state of the site. Hopefully you didn't notice this, but earlier this week, I totally went over my monthly bandwidth quota. So the site Went offline! Thankfully it took only a few hours to upgrade my obsolete hosting plan, and everything's better now! So I guess that was a good thing? A sign that my comic is gaining popularity?

Also, you might notice that there is now at the bottom of each comic page a button like this one: This means that I've registered my comic at ohnorobot.com, enabling text searches on my comics! But for that, they need to be transcribed first. I already went on a transcription spree by myself, and transcribed the dialog from comics 1 through 52, and will probably keep adding some as time goes by. But you, the readers, can also participate in the transcription effort! Note that you can even go to the comics I already typed in, and add scene descriptions and stuff.

It's only a question of time before I set up an RSS feed for the comic. In the meantime, you who like to be told when the comic updates can still register to onlinecomics.net or thewebcomiclist.com, both good ways to keep track of webcomic updates, including Flaky Pastry!

Also a good thing to remember is... the forum! There's a link to it at the top of the page. I know people visit this site, because.. I exceeded my bandwidth limit... but I don't often hear from you! The forum is a good place for comments, questions and the like. But not for pharmaceutical ads.

Oh yeah... Comic Updated!

Of particular note are Yet Another Fantasy Gamer Comic, a cute and funny look at the life of D&D monsters, Ice a grim and mature look at a future ice age. Meanwhile, Global Comic Jam is a site where anybody can join in and contribute a page to one of their many ongoing storylines. Fun!

I was thinking of taking a short hiatus from pastry-flaking - but not this week it seems! This stuff is addictive. And bad for your waistline. But, I might yet have to skip a week or two soon, since I will be moving and all that. But rest assured, that I have crazy ideas to continue the comic all summer and beyond!

ALSO! A small update of the cast page, since it hasn't updated in forever.

Well, this sort of even more feels like an ending!

But the correct answer is probably that it's never really ending, but just continuing differently.

Also: OHMYGOSH ONE YEAR OF PASTRY.

Technically, the comic started April 24th, 2005, but that's just a few days away. As promised, I have done nothing special. With stuff going on, I didn't have much time. But I still have the comic!


I did it my way!

FIFTY comics? FIFTY comics! It's the end of an era. Or maybe the begining? But the real party will be when the comic turns one year old. Too bad I have nothing planned for then. 8_8


Duh...

Comic Updated!

I'd say something about this week's strip, but... I have more interesting things to say! I contributed a comic to Whispered Apologies, and now it's up. The idea is that an artist draws a comic, and then the good writers of WA put words on it. The text it ended up with is not quite what I expected, but that's what it's all about!


Overkill
Posted by Falingard on Friday, March 17, 2006, 6:15 PM

It would have been funny to just end the comic forever with last week's issue! Everybody dies, the world is destroyed, the end!

Naaaaaaaaaaah... I'm not done with you yet! I can't quit before I reach Flaky Pastry's first anniversary! Not that I intend to quit at that point... because I don't!


Something that works

There's something... ULTIMATE about this issue!

Of course that's only my own opinion XD

Valentine's day!

I was going to continue the story, but then it hit me. Why not make a special? I've done one for Christms and Halloween! I could've done some lover-dovey-shiny image, but... I didn't have very good ideas right then and there. But I DID have a good idea for a comic! It's something that's supposed to happen later, but why not peek ahead to the future right now?

Also, I keep getting worried. About new readers who might come in, start reading, and think: 'Oh, what a nice RPG comic!' It's not a RPG comic! The character just happen to be in a dungeon right now! I don't know if long-time readers have noticed... there's no fighting? Not many monsters. Not very RPGish! And you know... the RPGing will actually end soon. But don't tell anyone I said so! For now, just a short break from the dungeoning.


Pipe dreams

Seems I lost an occasion ever to make a Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy! This is the 42nd comic. WELL. I only realized when came the moment to choose a title. I thought of 'What do you get if you multipkly six by nine?' but that just didn't make any sense. Oh well!


Dungeon's dragon

But also, one new fanart, and a couple of new links to other webcomics. Among which Vertical Horizons, a drama about an exploration crew in the arctic (or is it the antarctic?) and 24fps, a strip about the Animation industry. Check 'em out!

It might not seem like it, but I was lazy this week! Still, satisfied with the end result. A little later than usual, because of this laziness and life issues.

Yes, dreaded life issues.

Oh! Oh! 40th page/comic/strip/issue! It is possibly awesome. Here's to 40 more or so.


I hear it's good for you
Posted by Falingard on Friday, January 13, 2006, 4:30 PM

Sometimes, some strips will find kind of unrelated to anything! This isn't the result of poor planning. This is the result of NO planning at all!

Enjoy! :D

Comic! Mid-sized! Without any of the three main characters! A tiny bit of flashbacking, this week. For the new year, a look at how some other things started.


Have a very Flaky Christmas!
Posted by Falingard on Friday, December 23, 2005, 8:30 PM

Shiny picture!

Or 'Holiday', if you prefer ;p

No comic this week! Just the aforementioned shiny picture! Which doesn't mean you can't have tons of flaky pastry and other sweet things! 'tis the season of getting fat, after all :D


So that thing has a brain?
Posted by Falingard on Thursday, December 15, 2005, 10:15 PM

Comic updated!

What's this? What's this? Early update? Well yes! Life events prevent me from updating/working on my comic this Friday, so what do I do? Update Thursday! This was a bit gruelling, considering this page is SUPERSIZED.

Just as I was starting to work on this page, I thought of the joke in the first panel, and maybe normally I would have split it off into a strip of its own, but I wanted to do the second part before Christmas. Technically next week is still before Christmas, but it's also, you know, CHRISTMAS. Why? Remember a few (2) weeks back, I said a surprise was coming? This is it. It's nothing really awesome, just something a few people have asked for. And I don't have any objection to doing what people want - when it just happens to be what I had planned to do anyway!


What's that smell?

I am, again, pumped! Know why this bit with the troll has been planned for so long? Because it is inspired from a certain roleplaying campaign I was involved in. Yes yes! On an unrelated note, the rest of the year in Flaky Pastry is planned out already... guess what? I'm pumped about it. Coming soon is something I like to think of as a surprise.


Level 13: Our only hope!
Posted by Falingard on Friday, November 25, 2005, 8:00 PM

Comic updated!

I'm so pumped about this comic! But it's mostly because it's one of those ideas that I've had for a long time, and have been waiting for since this dungeon romp started. But it does mean I put in extra work for shading and and stuff. Makes me wonder how long I can keep doing this! It does take a while longer to do comics with shading than without. I'll probably end up doing a form of limited shading. But you know?

Also! I decided to stop starting my news posts with 'New comic' since, after all, it's not an entire new comic each time, but rather a new installment of the same comic! I started posting that because each time, it's not exactly a full page, but it's more than a strip... The dilemma!


Level 8: Why do we continuate?
Posted by Falingard on Friday, November 18, 2005, 8:00 PM

New comic!

There has been a new thing in Flaky Pastry lately... SHADING. Of course it looks good and takes more time. I don't know if I'll keep this up, yet! Only time will tell.

Wooh! Will I ever stop introducing new characters? - says the guy who hasn't introduced a new character in 18 weeks - says the guy who introduced 8 characters in the first five comics.

Lots of text this week! Hopefully it's worth reading. Plus one new fanart picture in the art section!


Have a Witchcrafty Halloween!
Posted by Falingard on Friday, October 28, 2005, 9:00 PM

New! uh... page?

Happy Halloween! I wanted to make something special this week, so we'll give our heroines a break, but I managed to do something that sort of make sense with the storyline anyway... you'll see XD

Also! I'm thinking of modifying the layout of the first page, and I'd like to know what the readers think! So head on over to the message board to know what it's all about.


Level 3: Unstable!
Posted by Falingard on Friday, October 21, 2005, 9:00 PM

New comic!

Hello, watchers from OnlineComics.net! This is my first update since registering my comic on the site, and I hope you enjoy it, as well as all future updates!

Also: Holy environment, Batman! Of course most of it his covered by characters and text... but I had a lot of fun doing the background and effects for this strip. Which makes me think, maybe I don't suck at backgrounds, maybe I just don't take the time to do them properly.

Furthermore, re: this week's comic... OOPSIE.


Level 2: What a crazy theory!
Posted by Falingard on Friday, October 14, 2005, 10:15 PM

New comic!

I wanted to do a little more filler, like... adventures, before getting to this point. But because I wracked my brain trying to find something funny, I found myself thursday evening without having started the comic at all! But things turned out for the best.

Also: I've added a page of links to the site (finally!). Feel free to check it out, there's also a couple of banners, if it is your wish to link back to this comic. ;D

New comic!

A first in Flaky Pastry history! Or a second! Anyway! A minor character returns. Not to do much, and not for very long, but it's good to get some use of them, too. It's the second time, because Sir Manfred was in two strips already, but it's kind of the first because Sir Manfred isn't as minor as some other characters.

Ranting aside: Enjoy! I guess they're really in the dungeon now!


I am rubber, you are glue
Posted by Falingard on Friday, September 23, 2005, 9:00 PM

New comic!

You may not have noticed, but for a couple of weeks now, the comics have all been in a STANDARD SIZE of exactly 650x620 pixels. I used to make comics of all sorts of sizes, because the layout is very fluid as I resize and move things aruond while I work. But lately, it hasn't been so hard! Perhaps I'll even be able to keep this size all the time, except for supersized strips. Maybe I'm getting the hang of this webcomic thing!

This comic brings up the question in my mind: Who pwns whom? I'm guessing each of the girls will have their turn pwning each other at different times. Or maybe they'll pwn each other in circles, like Rock, Paper, and Scissors! I wonder which is which? And don't forget the forum exists!


That wasn't in the brochure!

Tee-hee-hee! I amuse myself with this title. It's rare that I do. There's maybe half the titles so far that I consider adequate, and maybe 5 or so that I like.

I think I'm getting faster with this comic-making! Possibly!


Jacqueline of all trades
Posted by Falingard on Saturday, September 3, 2005, 11:30 AM

New comic!

They're not going down into the dark depths of the devilishly dangerous dungeon of dastardly doom just yet! First things first, like any good dungeon crawl. Or theme park ride. Anyway.

I'm mildly worried that going off on themed tangent this early in the comic will have new readers thinking this is another comic about characters in an RPG world (as opposed to another comic about young people living together and having crazy adventures in everyday life). But it's too late to back out now! Besides, Flaky Pastry is Flaky Pastry, right? It doesn't have to be anything else!


Real Dungeon Adventure Quest
Posted by Falingard on Friday, August 26, 2005, 11:15 PM

New comic!

Flaky Pastry... SUPERSIZED! I guess that'll happen from time to time.

Change of scenery in Flaky Pastry for a while! Strangely, just now on TV was one of the many inspirations for the story arc to follow, namely the episode Wizards, warriors and a word from our sponsor of the animated series ReBoot. Good times!


Art page and splash!
Posted by Falingard on Saturday, August 20, 2005, 11:40 PM

Just a little update to point out that the splash image at the top is here, and the art page has stuff in it. Not new stuff, but stuff other than a Coming Soon message.
Plus another thing!

Deep Purple
Posted by Falingard on Friday, August 5, 2005, 10:00 PM

I figure you can't tell the difference, but I tried a new method of inking (or rather, clean-up) for this comic. Still unsure if I'll continue using it in the future.


Hairy situation
Posted by Falingard on Saturday, July 30, 2005, 12:15 PM

New comic!

So I guess it's official? Flaky Pastry is the kind of comic where characters sometimes change clothes. Backgrounds are still my bane! And inking. And finding titles, obviously.


Don't do this at home.
Posted by Falingard on Friday, July 22, 2005, 11:30 PM

New comic!

It occurs to me that webcomics don't usually have a news post like this everytime there is a new page/strip up. But since my comic is pretty new, and doesn't update often, I guess it's appropriate here.


Well?

Mysterious white-haired neighbour
Posted by Falingard on Friday, July 1, 2005, 9:00 PM

New comic!

This wasn't what I originally intended to post this week, but I felt last week's strip needed some form of closure. So here it is! At first it was going to be Zintiel and Marelle, with Marelle doing all the talking, but that would have been out of character. Then I thought Marelle and Nitrine, but I'm saving Nitrine for next week! So in the end I went and introduced another new character, one I wasn't sure I wanted to put in the strip, or at least wanted to wait a while before adding in. But whatever! With the role I've given him, he has potential to return... and he will. He will.

Don't forget, there is now a message board! :D


Forum is up!
Posted by Falingard on Sunday, June 26, 2005, 7:30 PM

Well, I thought it would be nice to have somewhere official to get comments. I put up a forum, and added a link to the navigation buttons at the top of the page. If you have comments, questions, ideas, discussions, praise, flames, etc. etc. That's a good place to post it. Theoretically, I'll eventually post polls there, or other Flaky Pastry-related sekrit inpho. What's certain, is that I will be checking out the forum.


Pleased to meat you!
Posted by Falingard on Saturday, June 25, 2005, 10:00 AM

New comic!

OMG ten comics! I'm sure this is some sort of milestone, but I'm not very impressed with myself yet. It is the longest any of my comic projects have lasted, though. May it go on for another ten comics! I have a hard time now, imagining that this and last week's comic were supposed to be a single comic in my mind originally. It seems that, so far, Zintiel is a lady of few words. But it just happened like that. Her actions speak pretty loud, though. She has no problems talking, and I have no doubt she'll do it a lot in future strips.


Article 52c
Posted by Falingard on Friday, June 17, 2005, 11:59 PM

New comic!

Man, is this comic verbose! And to think, it's only half of what I was originally planning to do. The other half comes next week! It seems to me that Zintiel's abs are to become a full-fledged character in this comic... since they're about level with Marelle's torso... and Nitrine's head, as will no doubt be seen one day. I think there's gonna be LOTS of abs.


Cast page is up!
Posted by Falingard on Monday, June 13, 2005, 3:00 PM

It was fun to do! Go ahead and click the link at the top!
Maybe someday I'll draw pictures specifically for the cast page. For now, they're taken from the comic XD

Interviews: Diamond in the crud
Posted by Falingard on Saturday, June 4, 2005, 2:00 PM

New comic!

The comic this week was JUST TOO WIDE. I try not to go over 700 pixels in width, just in case of 800x600 screens. (I'm past caring about 640x480 screens by now), but by doing so I lost too much detail! So in the end I stacked all the panels on top of one another.


Interviews: A lot to learn
Posted by Falingard on Friday, May 27, 2005, 11:00 PM

New comic!

About last week, obviously Leslie is a little... shall we say... androgynous? At first I wanted to make a comic about that aspect of him. Something like 'Wait... you're a GUY?!' but then I realized... that wouldn't work. Marelle wouldn't care one way or the other and Nitrine.... would STILL care one way or the other. So I did something else! I think it worked well :p


Interviews: Not that hot
Posted by Falingard on Saturday, May 21, 2005, 12:00 AM

Haha! I updated early! Gotcha!
I won't say much about this week's comic. But I will say something about last week's! It's ironic that Nitrine makes a comment about someone else's dye job, considering she's always kept her natural (neon green) hair colour! Marelle also has her natural (silver - I know it sorta looks purple! Silver isn't really a colour!) hair colour. Poor, poor, Morgana.


Interviews: True Colours!
Posted by Falingard on Saturday, May 14, 2005, 2:30 PM

The interviews arc continues! The guest character today was seen before here. Now go read the comic!


Story arc: Interviews
Posted by Falingard on Saturday, May 7, 2005, 9:00 PM

Well, I've led up to this quite blantantly in the first two strips, but starting now and for a few weeks, Nitrine and Marelle will interview potential room mates. Exciting!

You might have seen the character in today's strip before. More specifically here and here.


Opening....
Posted by Falingard on Saturday, April 30, 2005, 3:41 PM

I guess even if the site is incomplete, at least now it's presentable. So... I shall declare it open! And put the link to it somewhere...


On track
Posted by Falingard on Monday, April 25, 2005, 11:00 PM

Yay! This wasn't so bad. The site is mostly working now. And by that, I mean you can see the comic. All one issue of it. The Home/News page is next on my list. After that, the cast, art (both official and fan) and links pages should be mere formalities, as far as coding goes. Well maybe not the gallery. The toughest hurdle now is creating a title image for the site.

Started working on this site, now. Not much to look at so far. I took a free webcomic script from the internet, and am trying to adapt it to my needs. I'm slowly figuring out how this php scripting stuff works.
