It’s still Wednesday! And this is an update! Not the usual sort of update, I grant you. But another gorgeous color by Miss McCusker! It has assuredly been too long. Revel in it! New comic next week!
Can you hear that whistle blowin’?
I’m not sure if I can.
Notes on the comic: This comic was originally posted in November of 2006. Note the “This is the jail side” sign in the central panel. “Haw!” as Vincent would say. When I originally signed on to this gig, the deal was that I would color the old Macropod comics sequentially from the beginning, inching my way towards the ever-receding horizon of new comics. In 2008, I abandoned that quest and began coloring comics from approximately “whenever I felt” to “whatever I was given.” (I enjoyed the crisp line work and fewer panels of the newer comics too much!) However, every so often I make progress on the original goal. This is one of those days.
The heavenly shine on Vincent’s prison accouterments in the 9th & 10th panels and his twice-as-holy cross (look at that preternatural shine, yours for just 9.95!) make me hanker to see Vincent draw a pietas. Can I make that happen just by wishing? I sure hope so!

The conclusion of “The Regular Sort of Seed This Time,” now with 100% more thrilling nanomachine action! Enjoy!
–A few notes on the comic: Like “The Regular Sort of Seed,” I again tried out a limited color palette on this comic. I didn’t stick with it, however. The detailing on the nanomachine took about ten hours over a period of several days. I couldn’t decide how I wanted to paint the “Attack” dial, so I ultimately ripped off the look of a gas meter panel. And look at that spiffy shine on the needle. Oh yes; that was my favorite part of the whole image.
Well, it didn’t take long for us to figure out that updating new Vincent Macropod colors on Fridays wouldn’t work. So here’s to Vincent Macropod in Color on Mondays! This is another one from the middle of 2008. I’ve been eager to share these since I first started stockpiling work for the new site.
Notes on the comic: I liked the black & white motif of “More Songs About Demon Seed” so much that I decided to try a limited color palette with an emphasis on black for this one. Don’t you love that fourth panel of Hank and Fluffy?– It’s certainly one of my favorite.
Colored in the middle of 2008, “More Songs About Demon Seed” was a continuation of the flat coloration style that was started in “Communicado.” I’m going to be running older colors on Fridays until the end of January as I work on some awesome (and perhaps swag-related) projects for Vincent Macropod.
As for a note on the comic, how do you like the black & white horror film feel of the last three panels? I decided to go black & white when I became fustrated with the color palette I’d originally chosen (yellow-green, blue and tan don’t always work well together).

Presenting Vincent Macropod in “Communicato.” Enough said!
Enjoy Vincent Macropod in “The Right Man.” Normally I run all of my colors by MK’s watchful eye before posting, but due to his illness, and the extreme lateness of the hour in which I finished (i.e. several minutes ago), I’m simply hoping for the best on this one!
“Why Are You Taking Our Christmas Tree,” presented in (in)glorious RGB color! As you may notice, this week’s color is pretty trash. I’ve been working on it since a day before I came down with another illness, this one indeterminate of origin, terrible of symptom, swift and merciless in its progression. So let’s just have it up and be done with it! Moving on to bigger and brighter things!
