Shadowy back-room politics in today's new comic.

If you're new to Dragon Mango, the story may make slightly
more sense if you start at the Beginning.

Latest Comic Updates:
[5/25] [5/27] [5/30] [6/03] [6/06]

Enjoying the comic?
Feeling generous?


06/06/2009 - It's another new comic.
Only two this week, but I'll try to crank the speed up a bit. :)

There are a few interesting plot points in this comic that aren't addressed fully for the sake of brevity, as getting bogged down trying to get all the political stuff across was one of the things that made Chapter Four drag on so long. So I'll just mention here to save everyone from even more talking heads:

The area that Mango mentioned as having been destroyed by a dragon las month was conveniently rebuilt into the current town square, suitable for hosting the Millenial Festival and high-priced restaurants and souvenir shops suitable for squeezing money out of tourists.

This is not actually important to the story in any way, but it does give you a slightly better idea of how Fafnir works.

Anyway, enjoy the comic! Sorry it's been all talking-heads and politics, but something fun's coming up, I assure you. :)

06/03/2009 - Here's another new comic. This one's a bit on the ugly side, for which I apologize. Mango looks okay in the first panel, then it all kind of falls apart. You ever have a day when nothing you do seems to go right? Other artists will probably know what I'm talking about. This was one of those days.

Still, I'm pleased with myself for actually having managed to force it out ANYWAY. It ain't pretty, but at least it's there. And this isn't really the kind of pivotal epic plot-related comic that requires good artwork anyway.

I'll do my best to make the next comic look better. And regardless of appearances, I hope this one gives you a chuckle. :)

05/30/2009 - The hopefully constant flurry of updates continues, with another new comic! If we can keep doing three new comics a week, I'll be very happy. (Though of course, more would be even better! :))

We're getting to the point in the story where things will actually start happening, and maybe you'll find out what the comic is actually about. :) It's a funny thing, but even though Dragon Mango has been going as a webcomic for such a long time, we're just currently nearing the end of what was supposed to be "issue one" of the hypothetical printed comic.

Of course, the original print comic concept did not contain Vinegar, Dug, Raisin, the Lolita Knights, the Goblins, Lord Sherbert, Flan, and so on ... so maybe it's not that strange. ;)
