Comic
Here's the Mysterious Stranger! He has a name, but given the fact that he seems to know John, and John doesn't want to admit to not knowing him, I'm not sure if it's going to come out any time soon in the comic itself.
I think June had a lot of fun drawing him, and commented a few times that she enjoyed his Stetson. :) For anyone who is wondering, he is speaking with a Two's rasp, but obviously he comes across as more intelligent than your average Two. This is intentional, and not a mistake on my part :)
On the creation side, for the first time in a long time, we have a buffer! :O June's been a drawing machine recently, and the only thing slowing her up is the fact that I haven't written far enough ahead. She may or may not have finished 250 by the time that this is posted.
Contest
Still want to be in TOGM? Haven't managed yet? We have two more openings coming up :O We managed to get up to 12th on Top Webcomics at one point, ahead of comics with a much larger following. Thank you guys for your awesome support!
In a slight change since last time, I'm requesting that people send pictures along with the email, just so that I don't have to worry about whether or not I can get ahold of you in time if you are selected. As per usual, I'll be using random.org to select a winner, so the picture itself wont have any bearing on whether or not you get chosen. Having a picture ahead of time just facilitates the process a little better.
Guest Art
June drew a NSFW guest art for Jon over at the also NSFW Everyday(NSFW!)Abnormal which is NSFW. Still, if you're not at work, and okay with nudity, it's a pretty awesome picture :) I think that's almost sufficient disclaimer about it being NSFW, but just in case, I will remind anyone interested that it is NSFW ;)
Take care everyone, and have a great week! We'll see you back on Thursday, and then on Saturday where RZ will answer some of your questions :)

But I still think they just confuse him for Thomas...
I see some of Skrael's artwork in Thomas' room, which means she exists in the TOGM universe. She could be a zombie!
@neon5162 - That makes sense. Completely.
@Jack - The Twins theory certainly has some evidence for it ;)
@PhilC - Yes! Though, I would have trouble calling that stylish ;) June initially thought of having the top of his head broken open and the hat holding his brains in, but remembered that wouldn't work :)
@fingerwitch - I think she was saying he's got a Smokey and the Bandit vibe to him ;)
but seriously. MYSTEROIUS GUY PRETENDING TO BE A TWO PRETENDING TO BE A COWBOY!!
@Alex Starkiller - June's other artwork, at least the SFW stuff, tends to pop up in various places around TOGM land ;) It's funny how all these various people are all appreciative of her work :D
@PhilC - Yeah, it's still from head grossness, but sadly not the only thing keeping his brains from falling out ;)
@T.Gatto - If it's not explained in the next one, it should be pretty clear in the one after that ;)
That's all you need to know for now :)
@Muchacho NL - And John = Living, Thomas = Zombie :)
John=John=Alive, Thomas=Thomas=Zombie [One], Thomas=John?=Alive and/or Zombie, John+Thomas=Explosion or Story Arc or Profit.
The math is quite easy really.
I like this new character. :3 I like him a lot.
They're not alive, but they're not dead (yet).
@Kristy - June likes him too, especially his hat :D I'm starting to think that she's making her character designs after things that would be funny to see someone cosplay ;P
@Muchacho NL - No, though you could substitute a zombie for the vial of poison :D
@just_idd - LOL! They are terrible at accepting and appreciating what it means to be dead.
@Alex Starkiller - Except for the point about poisoning it in advance, you're right. The poison is set up in a state where you can't know for sure whether or not it's been administered, which is how it works as a completely unknowable state between Life / Death.
But you're absolutely right about zombies in that you know every state as an easily observable thing.
