The Adventures of Cain & Yurk: Page 03
Whoops! Perhaps Yurk should have invested in a better bag? Or maybe Cain shouldn’t have entrusted his lunch to Yurk in the first place? These questions may never go answered — but we can all be certain that whatever’s in store for next week’s stunning conclusion will be one for the history books! Maybe.
Actually, don’t hold me to that.
I’ll be heading to New York Comic Con tomorrow, though only as a guest. Still, if you’re going to be at the show, I highly recommend stopping at the Action Lab booth 3044 and checking out the Action Lab panel in room 1A05 at 3pm! I’ll probably be hanging out at the Action Lab booth for a bit, so please do stop by and say hello!
Also, I’d like to take this opportunity to plug the game I’ve been working on the last two years: Space Miner Wars! Yes, hard as it may be to believe, I do actually write things that aren’t fantasy stories with animal characters :) Space Miner Wars is a free-to-play action-RPG where you customize spaceships, mine asteroids for ore, and attack other players’ space bases. I was Senior Game Designer on the title, and also handled the writing duties for the entire storyline.
The game is available on iPhone and iPad for free, so please do give it a download and try it out! If you have an Android phone or tablet, don’t fret! We’re working on that version next!
This week, Jerome asked me to post up a fun piece he did of our mysterious and popular Lady Canid from Deltrada! I figured it was probably a good idea to post it up now, before the events of Chapter 2 got too far removed from our collective memories. Was it three weeks ago that it ended? Really?
It really is impossible to draw her and NOT have her look completely badass. Here, Jerome has portrayed the dutiful Canid soldier in the midst of chopping your head off. Don’t worry, it’s probably nothing personal.
Probably.
And that’s how the Canid-Ermehn hostilities begun!
Generations from now, Canid and Ermehn children will look to their parents and ask, “Why did the wars start?” And the parents will look at their children sadly and reply, “Lunch.”
Haha XD Fruitso – I don’t know what I can say… I can’t say Nothing now because I lie uder my desk and die – I lie and die in pain with laught XD This is the Best comment what I See on Salmon party XD XD
You won everything XD Fruitso President, Yayy! XD
“But what about the Second Canid-Ermehn War, Mommy? Daddy?”
Another somber look. “Dinner.”
“So, you see children why today we eat always breackfeat Together, we Ermehn and Canid”
Hee!
It’s nice to have this light-hearted arc after the previous strips that descended into warfare.
Lady Canid is Awesome!
Oh, and nice “C&Y” page too! ;-)
The bag with the hole in it – it shines so!
Either Yurk splits his food with Cain, or someone’s gonna get hurt over a piece of bread…
And now he is left alone atop an empty tower with a hungry wolf. O.O alll humor aside, well mostly aside, this does raise the question of ‘what DO people eat in this world? Where do they get meat? Do they have non sentient farm animals or is our fine stoat friend actuslly in danger of ending up as lunch? Or is that taboo? And can this reader think of any more slightly awkward questions to ask? Not at the moment no.
Fish and tofu. :3 Shark jerky makes great travel food.
Ooops … ^^; Something seems to me that came weekly dialogue may look like this:
Y.:Emmmm… Cain… I have two news … both wrong … What would you like to hear first?… * gulp
C.: Whatever -.- …
Y.: So … First… Hey, Let’s enjoy that some hungry homeless in the street will be able to finally eat properly, I really admire you Cain for this great deed, cast your Lunch for someone – respect ^^; (*Pats him on the shoulder)
C.: …… (*Furious in the eyes) …. And second? …
Y.: Well… Ok, you’re right Cain, You’re right, when I was there on this tower that I drank a little tamian wine…
C.: A Little Bit? (* Face “Are you kidding me?”)
Y.: … Well, a little bit, but there is nothing to worry about, although it was that other similar Tower (*Shown with hand second high tower on the horizon); It is true thatthere is not views, and there isn’t also lunch…., But hey Cain, at least we were climbing and that was healt[…]*WHOK!
Yurk must be quite the orator. Too bad his silver tongue won’t be able to save him from a good whokking!
The Adventures of Cain and Yurk, page 4.
In which Cain takes Yurk for a nice whok.
… And Dumps him from tower/or killed. Like Cain and Abel. And all Canid-Ermehn wars stared. All by Lunch. And Tamian wine.
…Ah, and where is my manners?;, I forgot to praise the graphics in Guest art with Lady Canid ^^ Fantastically drawn, brilliant Graphic ^^ :D This shading, perspective, growth form, facial expression, “You soon lose head for me, hehe :* “; well, just fantastic graphics ^^ :D
That it! Friendship breaker right there.
Also it seems that Lady Canid would be a fine follower of a certain queen and her tendency to off people their heads.
Cain: “My lunch!”

(had to)
Fun page. I’m still looking forward to next week’s “laugh track” page and SOTES itself.
“Space Miner Wars” looks fun, but I’ve never been the sort for mobile games.
Good to see that Mr. Jerome Jacinto is also getting involved in the Lady Canid fan art! Let’s just hope that this picture is no indication of how she’ll react the next time she sees Kenosh . . .
Lady Canid is in fine form, as ever! What a dynamic pose; it looks like nothing less than a freeze frame from an animated film. Top notch, Jerome!
Also, I love how epic that last panel is. I would say it’s overly exaggerated, but, well, this is Cain we’re talking about, and he doesn’t seem a bloke to take a missing lunch lightly.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2P5qbcRAXVk Relevant to his reaction.
Hahaha, YES, that is exactly what it feels like.
Heh :) It fits perfect to this funny situation XD And I don’t know why when I hear it, next sound what I have in my eats is this.:

And That will be funny if it will be fits to next week page XD Lol XD
This is amazing image of these characters. I have similar image in my own pictures of my story (for example known of them, Russian otters, martens and squirrels. Of course, from the comic can expect a great deal. If I could read in the original text of this comic, I would have understood what the say.
Nice. Seems those two are fun to see.
And I get the feeling I wouldn’t be surprised if we see the Lady Canid again and maybe that time with a name.
Anyone else notice that we’ve seen neither Saraa nor Shield for a while?
I certainly am missing their contributions to our discussions.
;(
Hmmm – Yup – you are right Fourth… Somehow is empty here without discussion with Saraa and Shield :(- where are you girls? Saraa? Shield? …. :(
So I heard I was summoned. :p
Shield’s out in the wilderness right now, sort of, so her internet connection/amount of time she gets to go online is limited. But she should fully be back around Christmas, maybe a little earlier.
Me, I’m just lazy. But is it touching that you guys miss me popping in to do–whatever it is I contribute here; it’s fun, at any rate.
Not back until Christmas? NOOOO!
Who will criticie me for every ill-intentioned comment? Who?
I can give it a go if you’re desperate to be rebuked.
Though granted, my flavor of sass is slightly different than hers, so you’ll have to settle for a substitute while you pine in wait for December. Hope you like puns.
Nice to know you guys were thinking of me. I should be fully back after Dec. 11
Uh-oh, Yurk. Looks like you were a bit heavy on the Danberry. Hopefully Cain is more forgiving than, say, Clovis or Tosch (when he finally shows his fluffy tail)
Also, Jerome, i like the way you use pointillism and crosshatching for texture.
