Well shit, I made a grammar mistake!
>is*

Fuuuuuuuuuu-
Rocky has been laying in that field for like, five months, that shit is probably infected as hell by now D:

But seriously though, hopefully the psychotic preacher and the coroner can sew his head back together. I would be so sad if Rocky died.

fuck, I need to keep up with these...

So every time you guys post the art, I fall in love with this strip even though I've never read it, so I've been thinking of picking it up. Anyone care to give me a primer on what I'd be getting myself into if I did? I'm not even sure what genre it is, except that there seems to be a 1920's fashion sense.

american prohibition era... with cats.
(aka, circa 1930's.)

>>158633

Dying gang based out of speakeasy with only desperados and the insane left in it scrabble around a city in prohibition America trying to revive their glory days (or at least not live such a shitty life).

Except they're cats.

IT'S FRIDAY.
Y U NO UPDATE?
Maybe she's waiting for Caturday.

>>159087
We can only hope that she'll update within the month
Tracy
I love you. I love your characters. I love your story, your writing, your- I love you.
But you need to update more often.

I'm Lackin' mah Daisies here.

You know what legitimately upsets me? How much ancillary material Butler puts out. I mean I can't complain too much since something is definitely better than nothing. But if you're going to work on the comic, WORK ON THE COMIC. The release schedule is glacial enough. I don't really care what Rocky's favorite kind of sandwich is.

NO

She owes us nothing and you fuckwits better not make yet another artist associate their comic with needy unpleasantness.

SHE FUCKING UPDATED SIX FUCKING PAGES IN A WEEK AND YOU'RE WHINING ABOUT UPDATING MORE OFTEN YOU ENTITLED FUCKING FUCKS?

NO

FUCK

YOU

To be fair, each page of Lackadaisy is worth about 10 updates of any other webcomic. We get two or three at a time, so if we go with the common three-a-week schedule, that averages out to about 2 and a half months of updates, which is about right. Double that if you want to put quality into consideration. I've yet to see another webcomic with such quality.

She could probably do a once-weekly update, but we'd get strips instead of pages, and a lot of what's good about this comic comes from doing unorthodox boxing, which you couldn't do with a strip. So I'm okay with this.

Though I wouldn't mind just a quick update now and then to know she hasn't dropped the project. Maybe sketches or something.

>>159127
>She owes us nothing

Wrong. I bought volume one. I give her website hits. I am a consumer.

She DOES owe me and I can bitch all I want, so you can fucking deal with it.

>Wrong. I bought volume one.

You got a product for that money, not a slave the couple dollars which is all she likely sees for each hardcopy sold

>I give her website hits. I am a consumer.

She has no ads on the site, and you don't "give hits" unless you're actively promoting her. Someone linked to her site and you went, that's who "gave her the hits" not you. All you do is cost bandwidth.

>She DOES owe me and I can bitch all I want, so you can fucking deal with it.

If you thundering faggots drive yet another webcomic into long term hiatus I will laugh and laugh at your cuntish self defeating idiocy.

Webcomic artists don't "owe" anybody anything since they take time out of their day to give us something to love (unless they're paid to), but it isn't wrong to hope for something resembling a consistant schedule either. Chill the fuck out.

>>159169
>All you do is cost bandwidth.
Yeah, a lot of people don't realize that, unless there's some sort of merchandising empire connected to it a la Homestuck and Penny Arcade, an author isn't getting anything for their work.

>>159165

>>159165
>I bought volume one.
Which entitles you to own volume one. Which you do. Her obligation to you ends there.

>>159127
>>159169
Who is this comic for exactly? Is it for her own amusement or is it for the fans?

If it's for the fans, then we certainly do get to bitch when we only get nine pages a year. If it's for her, then who gives a fuck what anybody says?

Anyone who complains about Butler's schedule as if she owed them something clearly doesn't understand how little free time professional illustrators have for personal projects. Especially personal projects that require huge amounts of research and effort.
This is her hobby, people. Don't ruin it for her.

+/CO/MRADES,

Y U NO ACT CIVILIZED??

>>159259

The comic is for her own amusement, and for us, that is the subset of readers who aren't self entitled wankers with their heads up their asses.

Maybe you should consider straightening your spine until you hear a loud pop and come join the rest of the non-douche human race

Stop NOT discussing this comic RIGHT NOW!

Honestly? I felt these last three pages were horribly underwhelming, dialogue-wise.

The story needs more villains. I had so hoped the fat brewer and his evangelist buddy would make great sinister foes. Instead we got Bendis-esque yammering and three pages of "uh, do we fight, maybe we don't fight, nyehhh"

>>159422
>implying everything needs a villain
Fuck off.

HA HA HA HA! The hatchet joke brings me back to the good old road kill roaming days.

>>159422
What are you talking about!?
Mordecai and Viktor were both in it, being their usual badass selves, and why do we need more villains when everyone is villains!?
Goddamn I love this comic

>>159422

>Instead we got Bendis-esque yammering and three pages of "uh, do we fight, maybe we don't fight, nyehhh"

ugh god story development is so gay

Update!

>>166598
Some people were silly enough to ask "why cats?"

>>166614
These potatoes have so much personality.

>>166598
Thank you, kind sire!

This week, like every other, Mordecai is badass.

Not sure just how fresh this update is, but if I missed it, someone else would surely like the news.

>>170131
The only issue I have with the infrequency of the updates is that I forget the context of the current comic.

I'd be more than okay with only getting one page at a time every two-three weeks instead of two or three every two-three months.

>>170131
I am not happy with the new reveal that Antisocial Personality Disorder can be caused by bullet fragments.
It's my new headcanon that his emotional problems come independent of old injuries, and any correlation comes from unprofessional speculation.

Speaking of Mordecai, have some art of my favorite psychotic mancat

>>172349
He reminds me of the tax fraud member of the Untouchables.

She's amazing. She puts so much damn soul and emotion into her characters' faces, it's unreal.

>>172393
The one that looks like a fat Jeffrey Katzenberg?

http://lackadaisycats.tumblr.com/post/25291174178/the-other-day-leaving-work-around-midnight-i

All together now!

Guess what?

 4 pages worth of update. 

Wow, aren't you interested!

>>187974
I would seriously love to comment on it, but I haven't kept up since about mid last year.
Really.

>>187974

I love the comic and I keep up with it whenever I can, but I'm not much of a talkative fellow.

It's been so long since the last update I literally forgot everything that they were talking about. I recall something about a car and getting hit with a rake thing when trying to break into a gin storage shed, but that's it.

And, honestly, I no longer have the interest to go back and re-read up the plot. However, I still absolutely love the art, so I'll continue to read new "strips" as posted and completely not care about the plot.

>>187991
But the plot is gweat!

>>187974
I'll try to talk to you, Twister!
So, looks like a job got slightly out of hand, which ended up being a good thing, providing the Lackadaisy with lots of free equipment (even if it meant destroying the booze)
Mordecai is now sealed to Atlas' side, Vik continues to protect their territory, albeit outside of St. Louis, and...
...it looks like something was up with him and Elsa? AwwwwNooooo don't do that, her and ChubbyCat were so cute together!

So, any thoughts about Mordecai's strange attachment to Atlas? He seems... loyal to him. How the hell did Atlas inspire loyalty in Mordecai?

>How the hell did Atlas inspire loyalty in Mordecai?

Being neat and tidy, with an appreciation of symmetry.

Please don't hate.

This is just a funny image, so laugh.

Twister why aren't you bumping this thread more.

>>192614
DIY

Not sure if this counts as new material...

>>192614

Well, I found and liked this webcomic on read-through a few years back, but didn't keep up with it.

>reread it last month

A reminder that he is the best character.

So she is finished with at least two pages (her tumblr), she only needs to color them.

In the meantime, I posted this.

It's a little wierd to see Rocky with such a serious face for so long.

Head over the the site and read the seven new pages!

I can relate to Rocky 100% here.

UGH DAT DREAM SEQUENCE

I have literally never seen an artist this good.

We are not worthy

I know I'm not, and you guys certainly aren't.

I am convinced that periodically the artist goes on hiatus to retreat into a coccoon to sleep, upon hatching and emerging they are reborn with new, greater power.

>>205396
Yeah, Lackadaisy is some pretty awesome artwork. Story is pretty decent, but it's so long between updates that I tend to forget what's going on.

Tracy made 3 more mini comics. CHECK THEM OUT.

Gosh darn it, this thread updates slower than the comic.

You people are slower than slugs.

>>211565
I dunno, you're the one who keeps pushing this thread.

And since this webcomic updates pretty slow, shouldn't be better to post about it on the webcomic general?

That is one hell of a line.

Some new arght by Tracy.

A preview of things to come.

Even more material.

So, apparently, miss Tracy is working on this here game right now.

>>218236

Updates are coming, says Tracy.

Crocodiles confirmed.

Lackadaisy: now in czech!
http://lackadaisycats.tumblr.com/post/68355531385/hello-i-wanted-to-ask-whether-you-allow-lackadaisy

One new page.

>>220998
Another new page.

this woman's art makes me fucking scream it's

ugh

I wish I could follow the plot? It would go a long time without updating and I just fucking forgot, and then one of the rare moments I venture off /baw/ and remember it exists.

>>221070
So far, the plot is:

"cats trying to get booze and killing each other over it"

>>221070
>this woman's art makes me fucking scream it's
>ugh

That's...pretty harsh. You honestly hate it?

>>221070
>>221073

You'll forgive me if I find it kind of difficult that anyone could really dislike her art that much. Even just looking at the sketches and concept art she posts- if you don't like the style, you can't deny that she puts a tremendous amount of effort and detail into what she draws.

>>221070

>>221078
>>221073
You guys realize he's saying he likes it right

>>221089
A lack of vocal inflection will do that.

So...

>>221096
Yeah, needed a tildy at the end.

I just love how no one cares about a new Lackadaisy page.

>>222706
I'd care, but I have yet to start reading the comic.

>>222706
The time between comics is such that I forget that Lackadaisy is actually a thing. So when one pops up in my RSS reader, I'm pleasantly surprised and enjoy reading it, but by the time a new one is made I've forgotten so much of the story that I don't know what's going on. So, I enjoy the art while I read it and then go on to other things.

>>222706
It's nice and all, but the story comes at such a glacial pace I can't bring myself to get all that invested. By the time this in comic month ends I'll probably be on my deathbed

I could honestly live with slightly less-than-photorealistic backgrounds if it meant more than ten pages annually

>>222732
Tell that to Tracy. She has become a perfectionist by this point. Tell her that perfect coloring, shading, and level of detail is not important.

Tell that to her.

>>222748
It's not. It isn't at all important that you be able to see the exact period-accurate brand name hand carved into the pistol reflected in random victim X's eye at the expense of pacing. It was easier to just drop the comic quietly what with all the mindless stans fellating it

Enjoy that 200th page special come 2019

>>222751
You went from "mild" to "rude" mode in 10 seconds.

Impressive!

>>222732
Lackadaisy is a comic that works best when reading it in an archive binge. Maybe you should consider just dropping it for now, then in a year or two come back and catch up.

>>222751

>>222764
>a year or two

That's only 5 pages

Why is she even doing anthropomorphic prohibition cats? Just make pictures like this and sell them, my god.

>>223687
The cats are allegedly for fun inbetween the heavy stuff. Of course when even the "fun doodles" take 4+ months of detailing, you kinda wonder.

>>223687
If you paid any attention to what Tracy has been saying for the last 7 years, you would know that she was drawing cartoon cats for as long as she can remember. She is also more comfortable drawing wacky action with talking cats than with people.

tl'dr she likes to and she wants to.
