January Bonus Comic Poll
IT IS TIME
TO VOTE
although I'm 100% sure which option is going to win so this is really more of a formality

Aww man, I missed the poll. Would have totally voted "Melon Jumps The Shark".
At least then it would only have had 999 votes to catch up with, instead of that cold, crushing thousand...
Is 2018 the year of Roko bonus strips? The king is dead, long live the king?
Shark jumping could TOTALLY be a date activity, imo
Officer Basilisk jumps the sharks on a date with Melon. Hanners is also there, confronting her fear… of sharks?
I mean, Melon is great, Hanners is great, but poor Officer Basilisk deserves a brief, fleeting moment of joy.
It would be cruel if Officer Basilisk were to finally express feelings of love, only to find out that Bubbles only has eyes for ... someone else. Cruel, I tell ya! ;)
will 'Hannelore confronting her fears' just be her confronting a tapir?
Wow, I did not expect this boat to go in the direction it's going. :(
Basilisk cartoon can't be beat.
hannelore confronts her fears about going on a date with Roko
But where's Melon? O_o and what about the shark?
I mean that's fine, it'll be a fun comic to draw but I am SHOCKED
I CANNOT BELIEVE ROKO IS WINNING??!?!?!!?!?!?
I'm with David Paul on this one... still 100% sure Jeph? :)
If the choice had been Melon jumping "a" shark, I'd have voted for that, but jumping "the" shark just seems a bit stale, so I went with Officer Racoon-Chaser. That said, my preferred option *would* be a mash-up of all three!
Officer Basilisk going on a date with Hannelore, during which she confronts her fear of The Shark by sitting on Melon's shoulders while she jumps it?
As someone with pretty bad OCD, I appreciate seeing how Hannelore deals with daily challenges.
I had to pick #1 and #3. Hanners left on such a sad note, it would be nice to see how she is doing on her journey. And Officer Basilisk, she deserves a little love, or at least some Assam tea XD.
Actually, I changed my vote to just #3. Hanners' story deserves better than a bonus strip.
I want to see #3 now, and #1 in three weeks.
Come on, Hannelore people!
Wow, this is the hardest one yet. I want all of these. Keep them for future polls!
Why must you make my life so difficult!
As much as I love Melon, in the end I went with Basilisk. It's good to get some variety now and then.
Yeah, I was torn between Hannelore and Basilisk, did not even consider Melon. She's fun, but the idea of Hannelore confronting her fears (what could that mean?!) is way more interesting, and then Basilisk we just haven't seen for a long time...
Basilisk date with Punchbot, facilitated by the QC-canon dating app "ButtzFindr"
Oooh or "ButtzFeed" but that sounds...nevermind.
I was going to vote for Hannelore, but then I saw the comments, and I agree that wouldn't be fair to the non-Patreon followers.
All good choices, and really hard to pick this time. It's been a while since we've seen Roko, though, so going for that one. Maybe she'll finally catch a break?
Hannelore goes on a date with Office Basilisk which is interrupted by Melon jumping a shark!
I'm sure Jeph has plans for Hannelore's next arc, but personally I'd love to see Hannelore in all sorts of crazy out-of-context situations while she's traveling!
Why so sure? I also expected it to be an autoclick before seeing the options given how much “bonus comic” has been pretty much turning into “adventures of Melon” but boy, the alternatives are pretty awesome this time
I agree. The alternatives have always been good, but Melon et. al. is such a hoot. But I had just been wondering what Officer Basilisk would be up to now.
It would be interesting to see the good officer in a social setting. All we know about her is that she knits when at home.
yeah watch the comic actually be a combo of all three ideas. I'm wise to your ways
Joining everyone who would love to see Hannelore's journey but doesn't think it fair to non-Patrons. It makes me happy to see how many of your fans are this selfless.
Basilisk on a blind double date with Hanners, Melon, and the shark.
Whom is Basilisk going to date? That's what I'm dying to know!
Pintsize....of course!!
Officer Basilisk!
When I saw the notification, I was like, “Why is he bothering? MELON. DUH!” But these are good choices!
Can... can we have all three? Like, not right now, but Basilisk on a date, on Valentine's day would be awesome.
It's not going my way, but I know I'm going to enjoy the result regardless.
If I could vote twice for Basilisk, I would!
I can't believe Basilisk is winning right now
Shippers are clearly a force to be reckoned with.
Monthly comic is for secondary plot ! Officer basilisk
I'd much rather see Hanners finally able to touch someone. She deserves some companionship
I don't care what the question is, the answer is "Roko"
HOW THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO CHOOSE ONLY ONE OF THESE???
You don't have to...it's multiple choice....
Jeph, you evil bastard, why are you forcing use to make the impossible choice between options 1 and 3?! Do you really hate us that much? *weeps*
psssst, you can vote for both :P
Three awesome choices
DATE DATE DATE DATE DATE DATE DATE DATE DATE DATE DATE DATE DATE DATE DATE Ahem thats just my opinion
Okay, okay, i've got it. Officer Basilisk is on a date, Hanners is actually trying a real *date* with a fireman at the next table over. It's a cute little restaurant by the sea and the beach. in the background you can see melon preparing to, and then succeeding in blasting her butt off her chassis over a shark ala happy days, except she's standing on the edge of the ramp and not riding a motorcycledroid
😍
I originally voted for Hannelore because I absolutely want to know what happened and see that storyline continue. Then I was reading other people's comments, and realized I was just thinking selfishly. Nick, as above, hit the nail on the head--Hannelore's journey should NOT be Patreon-only content. I'm such a selfish bastard...
Poor shark...
Isn't it bad form to jeep the hannelore comic as patron only?
brb singing Officer Basilisk to the tune of Nellie the Elephant
Given the way polling is currently running, it seems clear that Officer Basilisk needs to go on a date with Hannelore to help her confront her fears.
Officer Basilisk goes on a double date with Hanners, Melon and her friend to confront Hannelore's fear of shark jumping.
OMG THEY'RE ALL SUCH GOOD CHOICES
As curious as I am about Hanners’s journey of self discovery, I feel that it would be bad form to keep that (even if only a humorous glimpse) as a Patreon only comic. With that said, how is Melon jumping the shark not winning?
100% sure?
HOW IS MELON NOT WINNING
Jeph cleverly double-bluffed us
:thinking: Melon jumping a shark could be used a starting point for a spin off comic.
All these options are so good, darnitt
Hannelore confronts her fears...by eating cereal with Steve and Melon.
