The Complete Unabridged Third Dementia
Click Here to view a calendar version of the archives
I've decided to divide the comic into three phases of its development.
Phase 1: The Storyline Phase
Prologue - In which some people have been confused and decided not to read any further. Which is bad, since the rest of the comic isn't whacked out like this intro is... Meet the Katt, a space-time-continuum-dwelling creature who just wants to play...(6 comics)
Chapter 1: Beauty and the Bob - In which the slightly deformed protagonists, Bob, Judy and Toto are introduced, and they get as confused as the people who have read only the Prologue. (14 comics)
Chapter 2: The Death of Bob - In which Bob, Judy and Toto are thrust into a backward world in which some the characters are purposely drawn deformed. Bob is killed. (15 comics)
Chapter 3: The Invitation - In which Bob, Judy and Toto are forced underground where there are lots of cool floodfills. (9 comics)
Phase 2: The Fun and Adventure Phase
Chapter 4: The Vigilante Chapter 5: Let's all go to the Lobby! - In which an Intermission is called and the fourth wall is broken. (4 comics)
The 100th comic - In which the 100th comic is.
Phase 3: The Punchline Phase
Chapter 6: Weirdness and Dooom - In which Bob, Judy, and Toto meet Godin Thrackseeker and accompany him on a serious quest. (19 comics)
Chapter 7: Rated NC-17! - In which Bob, Judy, and Toto enter a small town! Not really rated NC-17. (19 comics)
Chapter 8: As Lotus Petals / Cherry Blossoms in the Breeze / Revenge Will Be His - In which the Ninja named He executes his revenge! (9 comics)
Special Event Comic - In which the comic runs amok about the screen and you get to follow where it leads! (1 whopping big comic)
Chapter 9: Mallkatts - In which Niamh (pronounced "Niamh") is dragged along with the toy and the Interdimensional Mall is explored. (18 comics)
Chapter 10: To Thine Own Elf be Fooled - In which a murder occurs and the Elven Queen is not amused. (title by Blecky Dwiggins) (17 comics)
Chapter 11: All a Dream - In which it was all just a lame cop-out like JR getting shot. (20 comics)
Chapter 12: OAV (Other Artists' Versions) - In which Third Dementia fans create alternate stories. (17 comics)
Chapter 13: Double-Edged Demon - In which an old friend joins the group. (11 comics)
Chapter 14: Tropic of Sanskur - In which the group takes a much needed vacation and meet up with a delusional castaway.
Chapter 15: Arch-Enemies - In which old plotlines are resurrected and some things are better left undead.
In Phase 1, I was new to the webcomic idea... I made the mistake (?) of focusing on moving my story forward instead of providing daily laughs. There are many funny moments, though not of the punchline variety... It's more of a "funny-weird" than a "funny haha"... don't let this scare you away, though; when asked for their favourite moments in the whole comic, most of my readers pointed to chapters in this first phase. I must have been doing something right....
Phase 2 starts off at Chapter 4, with the introduction of the Vigilante 6. They're cool. Their attitudes and actions were based on myself and five of my friends, and the way they interact with each other is pretty close to real life. There's more humour in this phase, with some actual last-panel punchlines.
7 6 Chronicles - In which Bob is killed. Vigilantes and Nuns and Nazis, Oh My! (51 comics)
By now I'd finally noticed that people visiting the site for the first time would possibly see a comic with no punchline, and perhaps it wouldn't interest them enough to go back and catch up to what's going on. So from then on I made a concerted effort to add humour with a punchline. This phase also contains the "Special Event Comic" which I stretched out over a few weeks. It's all there on one page for your entertainment, or on multiple pages for slower modems.
