Interesting, they remind me of those twin gal’s that were a short side story. Uh oh, Liri’s got the bloodlust now. They really pulled all the stops here. Then Mentl shows up and starts singing “Goodness gracious great balls of fire” flame shoots from his hands setting those 2 and all the Urrts ablaze… One can hope anyway.
Yes, Zona has actually used that phrase before in the comic. And of course she picked it up, and other bits of Yiddishkeit, from Mentl and his family.

As a lifelong student of fiction (and with an MA in Creative Writing and MA in Teaching English Language Arts to back it up), what I find fascinating is that we, the audience, know that Zona, Liri, Mentl, et al., will win the day. The outcome is predetermined based on the type of story it is. What we don’t know, as an audience, is HOW they’ll win the day. It really says something about the human condition that, in our storytelling, we care far more about the journey than the destination (so long as the destination doesn’t feel like a rug pull). That’s from a literary perspective, of course. From an analytical perspective, we know that:
a) Mentl is super powerful and hasn’t shown up yet;
b) other powerful allies, such as Vito, haven’t shown up yet;
c) (and, in my opinion, most importantly), Mentl and Zona’s daughter (Rachel? It’s been a hot minute) exists and knows both of her parents.
(Analyzing a barbarian soap opera webcomic – gods, can you tell I used to work in national intelligence. I have a very weird background, I know.) Anyway, combined, these factors indicate that the Moon Tribe alliance will win out in the end. The question that remains is HOW that will happen. And that is a question I have been tuning in for… *checks watch* …over 17 years to discover the answer to.
I hope your health and general life situation continues to improve, JED. You do good work, and I’m quite sure there are a lot of people who are looking forward to the finale of your passion project (of which I am most certainly one).
I doubt both Rachel or Vito will get involved, Vito has faith in Mentl and after the chewing out she got from Daddy after stealing her mom’s sword and time jumping I doubt she’ll risk it again. There’s still Zone’s dad’s group to arrive, I think this is the big push by the Urrts, so it’s going to be all hands in.
My heart is heavy tonight. We had to say goodbye to my dear constant companion and the inspiration for all the black cats in “Challenges Of Zona”, my beloved friend, P-Chan. He was very old and finally was very confused and in great pain. So we eased him into Summerland Thursday evening. Nonetheless, he’s still there in the past and in my memories, and in Inky and in Incus and in the one-eyed winged cat from the Otherwhen. (Yes, long-time readers will remember when he lost his eye to an abcess, years ago.)
Over the past year, my Patreon patrons have been generously giving me money to pursue my vision of an animated web series based on The Challenges Of Zona. In return they get early updates, desktops and other fun stuff. But all of it has had one goal. And we have just passed the first milestone on the way to that goal.
I have just made the first payment to a talented young animator who is contracted to produce a 61-second fully animated trailer for The Challenges Of Zona.
We’re both really enthusiastic and I have high confidence that, within the next month or two we will have something to show folks that we’re serious about bringing a new fantasy phenomenon to the web.
I needed all of you, patrons and fans alike to support me in this and you have not disappointed. Eventually everyone will see the end product, but Zona’s patrons will be in on all the latest updates, new character models, tests, renders and everything as it happens, plus any other extras we can give in humble gratitude.
So be not shy. And, if you can, buy into the future of fantasy entertainment. one dollar, five dollars -ten or whatever you can afford. You won’t be sorry! This is happening!
We’re doing it. We’re moving forward. We’re bringing Zona to life.
In the word of the great Stan Lee:
EXCELSIOR!!
Watch this space!

You remember when our intrepid adventurers were stranded in Hollywood, California for awhile and the bored Zona would spend her time in the pool? Well sometimes she would forego the bathing suit. And your faithful storyteller did record the event.
My generous patrons at Patreon can see the whole thing in a high resolution desktop.
Do subscribe if you can, not just for the boobs and fun stuff, but to help Zona get to our goal and make an animated demo which, naturally, my patrons will be the first to see!
Warmest regards,

This week’s Sexy Saturday features (as some might have predicted) our resident priestesses of the Sun and The Moon, Chera and Tula.

Sorry kids. I am working on a largish crowd scene for page 1052. It will probably not be ready until tomorrow at earliest.
However, for my Patreon patrons, there is a scene with our lovers that takes care of one of my little loose threads. Alas, I got tired of
being clever so there’s no attempt to hide their nudity, so I had to put it on the Patreon site. Don’t worry, though. It’s not necessary to enjoy the next regular page.
But it’s just one of the things I add every week to reward those who help Zona out. 🙂
Enjoy!
Warmest regards,
JED
You people are wonderful, and today we crossed a bit of a threshold and have now more than fifty patrons who are helping us get to the ever-nearer goal of ten thousand bucks for the Zona animated demo and then beyond to a series!
Thanks so very much. All of you are important, and as an artist I feel everyone’s support, whether you can afford to be a patron on Patreon or not. But because I’m feeling jaunty I thought I’d share something from the past that had not been posted before.  Going through my archives I came across a render of the luckless Ginsha I’m pretty sure I haven’t shared before. Half-urtt woman, now masterless and mostly insane, I promise that there is a resolution in her future.
Thanks to all my patrons!
Warmest regards,
JED
Those ancient Erogenians had all kinds of slaves. See a couple of the more objectionable types over at JED’s Patreon page !
All the cool kids are doing it! Just a few bucks a month reaps fun rewards and helps us get that much closer to an animated Zona!
Warm regards,
JED
Thanks to all you guys out there who have helped us make a great start on our goal! And as promised, I’m starting a 12-page one off story for my more generous patrons.  It’s funny how the One Possible Future daughter of Zona and Mentl has come up again in the comments, because she’s the central character in this little tale. It’s not a great epic adventure, but you get to see Rachel deal with some of the problems of adolescence in a strange world – Earth. If you want to see this and other extras, (including all the sexy stuff) come put a few sheckels into the kitty to help make Zona come to life in an animated series!  Warm regards – JED
Thanks to all of you for your continued support of Zona! We’re getting more patrons every week, and they get desktops, artwork, sketches and updates before everyone else. Today we put up the second NSFW calendar desktop, starring my favorite Killer Queen, Yanora in a scene that’s quite a bit more explicit than any of you have heretofore seen!
So help us to reach our goals and get all the rewards that Challenges of Zona can bestow!
Warmest Regards,

‘Oy vey’? Zona, did you pick that up from Mentl? O.o
“They aren’t just ogres. They are *goyim* ogres!”

Well, Liri may be about to conduct a Two-for-one Bris!
Lora
Of course, what else? 😛 Liri is ready to test herself and her shiny new weapons.
Joe Fonebone
I gotta say, I like Liri’s attitude. I sure as Hell hope it doesn’t bite her on the sweet ass of hers!
