Woot! Early Tuesday posting! Yay!
“Right. Two.” Just like the comic itself
.
I love the way you got her expression in the last panel. Now is the time for her to pull off the little mushroom stinger thing and jam it into the face/mouth of the currently engaged lizard-dog.

Once Again………SWEET! No worries on the delays cause I have been reading Butternut squash and with my schedule it has taken me longer then planned. But I have to tell ya that i LOVE this strip!

I think they just want to play “Fetch”. If sci-fi movies have taught me anything, it’s that heavily-drooling monsters are usually friendly.
Well, either friendly or hungry and nasty. I suppose that’s not a helpful lesson at all.

I feel if it was gonna eat her Panel 4 would be her head in his mouth!
Yay pets!

Glad you got some of that stress off your plate. Thanks for the update! I appreciate all the hard work you put into this stuff - it’s simply beautiful!
March 25th, 2008 at 8:44 am
Don Ramon 0 glad to hear the break allowed you to get caught up - please take one whenever you feel too pressed - I’d rather suffer a bit when I get to see results like this posting - AWESOME .

I *love* Kukuburi’s world. The cast page is a great addition… Mmmmmmmmm……
March 25th, 2008 at 11:14 am
They kind of look like nasty gorgonopsids. Pretty cool! Keep it up!
March 25th, 2008 at 11:44 am
Time Management?
Look, I wrote an essay in college on ‘Procrastination; The Solution’ if you ask nicely I mgiht be able to dig that up.
March 25th, 2008 at 12:24 pm
When you gonna let me pay cash I don’t have for a printed copy of this extraordinary gem?
C’mon, man!
March 25th, 2008 at 12:25 pm
yay! she’s semi safer than she was a moment ago! Now i guess the debate will be between those who think the lizard is gonna be friendly and those who think its gonna attack again.
course… that rocky thing should be arriving anytime now >_>
March 25th, 2008 at 12:41 pm
Gorgeous page!!!
March 25th, 2008 at 2:01 pm
Poke it in the eye. Nobody likes gettin a poke in the eye.
March 25th, 2008 at 2:10 pm
Five bucks says it licks her face.
March 25th, 2008 at 3:26 pm
Your work is amazing and inspiring, Ramon. I think I need that book too….
March 25th, 2008 at 4:26 pm
I knew the mushrooms would help her. They’re plants, after all.
March 25th, 2008 at 5:41 pm
Hmph. Mushrooms aren’t plants. But, of course those aren’t mushrooms, so it evens out. I just got on to theorize that the lizard-dogs might turn out to be friendly (in the end) and I see that at least some people are of that impression as well.
I think that the lizard-dogs either already know that Nadia is an avatar of Her and were coming to greet her (as in “Mommy’s home”!), or will now find it out. I’m holding for the former, since they are on their home turf, and a true carnivore would not risk going over the cliff unless it knew it could survive the fall. So the first one was just jumping over Nadia to show its enthusiasm, but the second one wants strokes. (A friend of mine was once seriously injured when her two full-grown rotweilers gave her the “Mommy’s home!” rush in a new house that didn’t have carpet the way the old one had…)
Either way, it is pretty certain that Nadia won’t get eaten.
Now watch Ramon figure out how to keep the comic going with Nadia being on the snack plate.
March 25th, 2008 at 6:13 pm
I thought the same thing… maybe those onion mushroom thingies are in their way helping her right now. MAYBE!
I hope that thing only licks her face! Either that or some hero jumps in to save her.
March 25th, 2008 at 6:16 pm
I wonder if his tail is wagging!
March 25th, 2008 at 7:04 pm
I am so glad I found out about this comic a week ago.
March 25th, 2008 at 10:47 pm
and grandma what big teeth you have….the better to eat you with my dear
March 26th, 2008 at 12:05 am
as always Ramon, you are a master of your trade
I tip my hat to you, sir! *tips hat*
March 26th, 2008 at 9:14 am
Heh, heh… nice puppy! Puppy want a treat?
March 26th, 2008 at 11:49 am
Wow, I lost the thread when you updated your feed - I was wondering what happened! Great stuff. The site updates are good too, keep up the excellent work. Like the cast page - I need to re-orient myself!
March 26th, 2008 at 6:24 pm
Go for the patented Hug-and-Babytalk attack! Works on the largest and most ill-tempered of dinomutts (and real mutts as I discovered when a rather large dog bodychecked me as I ran past it years back… got a mugfull of unspeakable slobber in my ear, but at least I still have the ear)!
March 27th, 2008 at 12:39 am
Awww. It’s snurffles like a horse.
… a big, sharp-toothed, angry-looking, green and scaly evil horse.
Yays!
March 27th, 2008 at 11:58 am
Love the comic!! I have not checked back in a loooong time because when I first stumbled across you there were only the first two strips up (which blew me away) but I am horrible at waiting for new strips to be posted! So I go off, bookmark them and then do my best (and fail miserably) to forget about them for a while so I have a bunch of goodies to go through at once. I really like your use of colour (some web comic artists I read seem to be deathly afraid of it) and the story is well…you are driving me crazy with suspence. I hate waiting when I love reading something and cant finish it NOW. As in……NOW. ….NOW? Damnit.
Anyway, to John Christ it’s nice to know I am not the only one who sees procrastination working out as a solution. My parents, teachers and all my friends have all my life disagreed and still do. I feel saddend in the face of such blatent ignorence….
March 29th, 2008 at 3:49 am
@Rooks:
I thought John Christ was saying he wrote a paper about how to avoid it.
How is it a good thing? If I can turn my procrastination to a friend I will be a GOD AMONG MEN.
or something.
March 29th, 2008 at 5:51 am
SLUUUUUUUUURRRRRP!!! PANT PANT PANT!!!
March 30th, 2008 at 1:11 pm
Dude, Ramon, I had been wondering why Butternutsquash was pretty much at a standstill. You kept this secret from me! It’s okay, I understand. My goodness, this is fantastic.
March 30th, 2008 at 9:30 pm
Hey, I saw the review on Tomgeeks, and I’ve been meaning to check this out for a little while. This comic is stellar! It should be published, it’s absolutely amazing! I can’t wait to keep reading!
March 31st, 2008 at 9:04 am
Came to this site, after working my way through the Butternut archive. I love that comic, and adore this one. What fantastical imagination! I read through the whole back story in just one sitting!
Keep up the stunning work…
March 31st, 2008 at 5:33 pm
You, sir, are awesome.
April 1st, 2008 at 12:51 pm
Dmitri, I don’t think that’s going to happen next, but that would be cool!
April 1st, 2008 at 3:39 pm
yowzers… that thing was aiming right for her.. it only missed because she ducked *whew* but it is curious that the second one didn’t just attack…. very curious
April 1st, 2008 at 7:02 pm
*pokes* at website to see if new content is hiding. Not a sausage.
April 1st, 2008 at 7:29 pm
That would be more of a
*Pokes at website to see if new content is hiding* Not a sausage.
got it Odo
April 1st, 2008 at 10:21 pm
HA–
Yes, you did — and your version is the correct one. Let’s see who else gets it while we wait for more Kukuburi goodness. *waits for applause*
April 1st, 2008 at 10:44 pm
Odo said *pokes* at webs site to see if new content is hiding. Not a sausage.
Bot only that - but the cast has not been updated - as they used to say on “Laugh in” - velly interesting”
Can i say that I’m getting a trifle worried .
April 1st, 2008 at 10:45 pm
… gonna be a late one today.
April 1st, 2008 at 10:45 pm
meant to say Not - sorry
April 1st, 2008 at 10:48 pm
Ramon said in Butternutsquash that his scanner broke, so maybe there’s no update this week?
April 2nd, 2008 at 5:45 am
Hi Ramon. I’m a recent fan, both of your work and of a very different webcomic, Cheshire Crossing by Andy Weir (cheshirecrossing.net). CC isn’t graphically stunning like this is, but it’s got great plotting and characters. It would be even greater if it could be plotted by Andy and drawn by you; but the main reason I mention it is because of its schedule. There’s a new twenty-odd page issue every three - to - six months. I get the impression that this makes Andy a lot happier than having a tight deadline every week. Fans still get what they most want, which is an assurance that the story is continuing to be developed, because Andy posts occasional progress reports in his blog. You might benefit fron getting in touch with Andy to see how periodic issuing works for him.

Hallo Ramon!
Seems the “next” page located at:
http://www.kukuburi.com/2008/04/01/manana/
