I was lucky. I managed to be able to pay my college fees in time. I’m happy I was able to pay them at all. But if I was lucky, many other weren’t. Many relied on scholarships so they could afford their studies. But as of lately, the process to get your hands on one got not only harder, but more and more unfair. Lots of young people like me are now unable to proceed with their studies due to this failed system. Everyone should have the right to an education, but no. I remember reading on the newspapers that, even though some people got these scholarships, their funds were so low they had to starve every few days. What about now? How are they coping with all these cuts? It’s simple: they quit. Just wait another year, or another ten years until you can have your future back.
And hello again! :D I’m le back to bring you yet another of the Descriptions by Third-Parties, this time with KillerS0ul‘s wonderful input.
I’m quite proud xD I laughed a lot at these because she didn’t back off – and they’re fun too, conspiracy kind of fun.
Well, you know the drill; if you want to make one, send me one of your short descriptions to wapy.co [at] hotmail.com. Don’t forget that you can’t look at the comic and you must only describe who you can recall! You can also send the descriptions to Doce’s Page on Facebook ;D I’ll be looking forward for them!
Here goes the second description! This time, made by Midi.
I have to say I sure am surprised with the Starbucks reference! That one caught me off-guard.
Again, if you’re interested in participating, all you have to do is send me an email with short descriptions to wapy.co [at] hotmail.com or a message on Doce’s Fanpage. That simple :D
Be welcome to the second take on Description by Third-Parties, this time brought to you by the wonderful Noflue AKA Pixon~
Now, these have been really fun to do and the rules are pretty simple if you want to join as well: just send me an email with the description of as many characters as you can remember (if you don’t remember their names, it’s fine, just describe!). Just one stepback: do not check the comic while doing it! It has to be made from memory :3 The emails are to be forwarded to wapy.co [at] hotmail.com or to Doce’s Page on Facebook.
Helloz!
Today I decided to take a different course of action: I asked some of my readers if they were kind enough to describe this comic’s characters to me as they see them (and with as they see them, I mean no cheating: no reading back the comic! And describe only as many as you remember). The results have been hilarious so far! Today’s description was brought to you by Ricardo Jorge, who’s does complain about his poor memory skills and lack of knowledge of my comic. So yeah, here’s the result!
If you want to join the bandwagon, it’s pretty simple: all you gotta do is send me an email (I’d be happy if you send the descriptions on it). The address is the usual, wapy.co[at]hotmail.com. You can also contact me via Doce’s Page on Facebook if that’s easier for you. See ya!
Ever since I started working – and studying by night – I started to have my meals at the college’s cafeteria (well, one of them, my college happens to have a bunch, but one of them is just the fastest). And I can’t really tell if the hours I pick for my meals are bad, or if I got too used to home food during the summer, but lately, all the food seems to be… Sad. That’s it, there’s no other word to describe that food. Sad it is.
I suppose you can now imagine just how I happy I get on the weekends. I mean, real food!
This one is partially based on a true story, considering it’s not the first time I’ve actually seen someone wearing both the black suit and random unauthorized accessories. Like pink bags or enourmous keychains.
When you’re wearing the Black suit (aka Traje around here), you’re supposed to do it right. And that means no extra accessories – and surely not anything with bright colors, if colored at all. And when you’re wearing it, you should also expect other people wearing it to notice… And if they happen to be in an upper rank, do not expect to go home without a little punishment (it usually includes being spanked with a little spoon, but, in lack of said spoon, with a shoe).
Oh, come on, there’s no pet as hip as an owl! Some people do actually have them as pets… And as the kids figure it’s time for them to take some more responsabilities, maybe a pet is a good choice! Although I would have started with a dog, but a feathery friend might be good as well.
And pets are always good if you happen to be away from home and spending time alone with the studies. They cheer up the place :3
I really wanted to do the MSN chat thingy for a while. It leaves a lot of room for my lazyness; also, since the characters are still on vacations, I assume it’s either by the web or by the phone, so… Cheapest way found!
I want to thank Midreka, a.k.a. Midi, who played Shizamura in this wonderful and deep conversation. She’s an awesome Shizy btw!
It is a known fact, or at least I should have make it known, that Angela loves summer and Mikhail loves winter. They’re not meant to have vacations together.
However, when it’s summer there’s nothing you can do. So yeah, Mikhail, if you wanted your “perfect vacations” you should have moved.
I swear I’ll never understand those couples who just spend longer saying goodbye than having the actual conversation. Also, all the loovey-doovey thing. It’s awkward.
Also, do not expect not to be caught when you’re declaring your love via cellphone. Because it will happen for sure. And it will be awkward.
You can expect the summer to be Nikita’s favourite season! Not only he has all the time in the world for surfing and bodyboarding, he also doesn’t have to stand for anybody’s crap.
And although I probably mentioned this before, it’s never too late to call it back again: Mikhail hates the sea. And thus he hates the beach and he also can’t swim. Too bad all Nikita wants to do is being in touch with Mother Sea.Guess that’s bad luck for you, Mikhail.
So you think you’re on vacations, that you’re allowed to be free and not think about College? THINK AGAIN. You’ll never be free. There’s always something else to do, an email to check, a paper to pick up, enlargment pills to take. They’ll never let you go. They want your very soul. Think about it, you know it’s true.
And yes, that’s how my College’s inbox looks like. I kinda altered the e-mails so they’d make more sense.
It was about time to join the latest portuguese viral trend: Fear is something that doesn’t suit me. That’s… Well, hilarious.
I can’t stop laughing at that awesome sentence.
This comic will, therefore, be dedicated to all of those who fear doesn’t suit, specially when they’re ridding down a hill, be it on a skate or bike. The world needs you.
I once had this professor tell me “I can’t stare at any more exams” in something that made me wonder if she’d go crazy.
Specially with all the crap some people write on the exams..
It kinda makes me think about how a professor’s life must be. For a fact, I know they’re always tired and they curse a lot when nobody’s looking. Poor souls.
This comic works better with music!
The diet saga continues!
And this one is true – hunger shows up all the time even tho I’m eating well, and I crave food I don’t even like. Please, brain, stop being such a troll and admit you’ll be fed on salad. I’m not giving up, Brain! You can’t bend me over. Don’t worry, I eat other things too and I’ll keep the coffee flowing…
First days are hard, just like any other sort of hangover.
As a final note, internship is over! :D
Well, I’m actually on a diet, so I might as well get some fun out of it. It’s always nice to change some habbits, I guess. Therefore, Axuxin is on a diet too.
I wonder how long will she take it.
I must thank Killers0ul for the wonderful insult. She’s a pro, you just don’t see many pros these days.
Quite the trauma with the colored socks now. What would Freud say about this?
There, there, sleep well, my angel.
It’s a never-ending stare game! Except that it will eventually end, since we’re 10 min away from the exam’s end.
I bet Telos’ twice as upset because Mikhail is just sitting and staring at him and he’s pretty much done with the exam for a long time.
I should have added “meddling with students on the hallway”, because I can’t remember a single prof not doing that.
There’s been a lot of Mikhal and Angela comics recently .-. But I just like the dynamics of this couple, although I know I should pay more attention to the other characters. Don’t worry, they’re loved too.
Vacations are drawing near. Afaik, another two weeks, at least for me. I don’t know if I should keep the College theme or move into some vacation theme. You help me?
Public Noms, yes. A lot of people consider that a nice thing to do, considering the amount of time they give to that, hum, sport.
Mikhail and Angie were sort of hidding their relationship – and they weren’t that good at it, apparently – but since now Mikhail’s no longer what’s considered around here as a freshman, there should be no reason for hidding, except… That they’re not really into public displays of affection.
They’ll probably just hang around like any two other fellow colleagues, this is, if Angela finds the guts to steal Mikhail from his buds every now and then.
Story of my life.
Suddenly you have a lot of work to do, then you get used to having tons of stuff due everyday and then you have nothing again and it feels like you have… An hangover.
When you’re addicted to something you’ll just look for more. So yah.
Remember when, a long, long time ago, Shizamura overheard something that could have changed a lot of lives, but didn’t?
Yeah, maybe Mikhail should think about how lucky they were that time. But seriously, he couldn’t expect Shizy to believe him; he probably sounded like he had fallen asleep in the bathtub!
Also, sort of progressive comic with a bunch of styles == awesomeness for me. What do you think?
I don’t think having a shot was even a solution to begin with. But people do it anyway. Little they know – alcohol actually makes them even colder.
This might be partially a true story :D Also, kuddos for those who can guess who’s the bartender. Also, drawing the tent was pretty cool.
Keyo and I have something in common. It’s a nice relationship with work. And nothing gets in between! :D
I’d have to bring the subject back sooner or later. After all, Shizi and Keyo were going through some rough times, as it was somehow stated before and I guess Shizi just coulnd’t deal with some events. Maybe it was for the best.
So yeah, now Keyo’s off to his workaholic self. Nothing more to get in betweem. All straight 100% from now on.
Yes, Clor has a life outside college, tho I have the feeling he met her and dated her in the academic setting.
For those of you who don’t remember this pants-jizzing professor I’m mentioning, here’s a link for you to refresh your memory, so check it out. Also, mabushii is now my number 1 word for describing that nosebleed people get when they think or cross wonderful people.
Although it may look like they broke up because she was Mikhail’s professor, that’s an unfortunate word choice. They actually broke up a long, long time ago.
This one is sort of based on a true story.
I remember that before getting into College, Exams were seen as something really hard and terrible. Pretty much something you’d foccus all your energies on. I know a few people who actually started studying long long before they come – not only they did study pretty much everyday, they also studied with one or two months in advance for the exams.
I don’t think that’s even healthy. Not that it guarantees good results either. I personally am not the studying type (for some things).
On the other hand, after getting into College, the difference is tremenduous. During the first year you’ll still see people trying to study with a few months in advance… Only to notice there’s just too many things to work on and then notice the exams are but a few weeks away. But I know some cases where people actually try to keep the same habbits and not all of them are successful. I sorta of started studying for real only after getting in College and I can’t tell I was proud of my first year’s grades… But things get better.
Actually, it seems people get used to having 5 exams in the same week and sometimes even more than one a day. And they just seem to be able to study months worth of paper in two days and still get decent grades. If not actually good grades. It feels like as soon as you stop obsessing and start seeing exams as nothing more than just another test, thing get better. Much better. t’s much more of a technique thing than dedicated time, actually.
But you obviously can’t trust Clor’s words on this. It’s not like he’s getting out of College anytime time soon either.
If only there was some wind…
Wow, it’s been a long time since these two were together at home, right?
P.S.: I totally love the background of this comic.
The weather’s getting hot. In a few days it’s gonna be June.
Still, you can see people wearing the academic suit – which is black – even tho you could swim in your sweat if you wear it with such weather. Why are people still wearing it?
I think the answer is simple if you think about who’s exactly wearing them: yes, those guys who were freshmen just one month ago. They’re so hyper about being able to wear the suit they now take every excuse to use it. But the weather’s too hot and everybody knows it’s gonna be hard to survive. But they still use it, probably because they just don’t know how uncomfortable they’re gonna be for the rest of the day.
So yeah, if it’s not a special day or something, people wearing this amounts of black with this heat are probably late freshmen.
Also, deep down, Nikita would do an awesome troll senior.
I suppose I’m not sharing exactly the image I wanted about Shizamura, but hey, I need to joke with somebody (and with somebody, I mean, everybody).
Things weren’t alright between her and Keyo for a long time and I really didn’t think they’d make it through. Well, more variety now. Poor Shizy, she couldn’t find a better way to explain just how easily she falls in love.
But I still think her description is quite accurate. Also, every opportunity is a good one to use the words forever alone. Which is pretty much the image everyone seems to have about Angela.
I’m pretty sure Shizy wasn’t the only one having a few too many drinks that night.
I know it might look strange to come back to the Ribbon’s Stories like this, but be prepared for some once in a while. Because there are just too many stories for one week.
Mabushii == wonderful, or something like that.
And that pretty much explains why Mikhail insists on showing up for every damn Algebra class. And also the nosebleed.
I know it’s odd when you find people you just have never seen on their normal clothes doing their normal daily bsns.
I always thought these two looked too much alike ._. Just look at this a nice, black and white find-the-differences.
In case you don’t know, there’s an Academic “party” here in Portugal called Burning of the Ribbons (Queima das Fitas). I think I’ve mentioned it a few times, since it’s one of the most attended parties. It lasts for an entire week, afaik. There are academic activities during the day and concerts at night. Booze is so abundant I wouldn’t wonder at all if some years after some people found out some ghost… And I’m pretty sure it would be awkward. Alternative ending for this comic includes “Good lord, I must’ve been so drunk”. I just found ghost to be a funnier word.
And on the very last day, they fight Bulls. Of course, nobody’s forced to fight anyone. Actually, I don’t even think they have to fight, they mostly just jump around… Or so I hope, since I’m not too fond of bull-fighting.
And apparently so is Clor. Oh, he’s so brave.
And on the seventh day you have two activities: the rally paper, over the city, and the Dancing Tea, which is a party where you dance and have tea (duh).
I like tea, but I wouldn’t dance with it.
Wednesday usually means it’s time for the Tuna’s Festival. For those who don’t know, Tuna isn’t a fish’s name, it’s what you call to a organized group of students devoted to… Let’s call it making music. They also dance and have their own rituals, almost as if they’re separated from the common Praxis.
But since Wednesday comes after Tueseday, which, being the Parade day, leaves everyone pretty tired. And everyone parties too hard afterwards, making them twice as tired. And everyone says the Suit’s shoes (specially the ladies’) are terrible to the feet.
Now it’s hangover tiem.
It’s just so much more wonderful than this little image can tell. Also, on the end of the parade, the freshmen will no longer be freshmen.
Monday is usually the day when the freshmen gather money for charity.
But since I don’t know how to pull a joke out of that, I’ll leave you with a drunken Djeb and a Segmentation Fault.
And so, the Burning of the Ribbons begins!
At 00:01 of the first sunday of May, as usual. The following week is filled with various activities. There are usually no classes on this week so the students can have their time without messing their studies. The first day’s event is called the Monumental Serenade, which is an event where the students sing some Fado with all their might. Of course, there’s more to it than just that, but that’ll do for a short description.
It is also the day when the Godfathers and Godmathers trace their godsons’ cloacks for the first time. And then they’re able to wear the black suit as well! It is usually an emotive moment and I guess Clor’s the most affected around here.
I’ll try to give you one comic for each of the following Burning’s days :D
I know some people really had been named “Anti-Praxis” as their pledge name (considering pledge==praxis, let’s not forget about it :3). But that would be a really nice name for Nikita, specially since he’s always complaining about everything. But I guess that’s the same reason behind “Grumpus”, which would probably be just Grumpy looking Latin. People on the Praxis world love Latin.
I’m pretty sure Clor’s quite embarrassed for not being able to solve that alone :B
And so, another freshman was named!
Now we know Djeb’s Pledge Name :D
Also, we never know when the next Senior will show up. But taking a rest by the coffee machine is by far the worst place to hide.
People looove their coffees.
I was informed that yes, their flashy ears are sometimes burnt… And it doens’t always go so well (and I needed an excuse to do Mikhail’s hair as well, perfect timing!)
And we all know Keyo doesn’t fancy Mikhail that much… So yeah, he needed an excuse as well.
And just for the record, that’s Raphael standing there, on the last pannel. He is not a girl, no matter how girly he sometimes looks like. Which apparenly isn’t the case of this comic. It’s been a long time since I last draw him and he needs some love too.
Considering that color TV in Portugal started being broadcasted a mere thirty years ago, that would mean Clor indeed is pretty old. But I think these “Legends” aren’t really in touch with the reality.
But that’s why they’re called Legends, right? :D Clor’s more of a Myth, actually.
Civil – they’re numerous, prolly the most numerous, but not the noisiest. It is said that their musics have the lowest rate of dirty words of the entire Institute. They apparenly like to feel protected (well, they have a brick tied to their necks), hence the helmet.
I’ll add more info if I happen to find it :)
And for those who’re interested, here goes a making of video:
Another one based on a true story :B
Nikita only got late for the first class in the morning because he had some really important documents to scan. And there was a long line on the reprographic center.
…Sandy kids.
This might just be the most stupid comic I have ever done, considering it is based on actual fact.
Because, you know, some day you may be teaching your students how to work with… hum, circuits, and then you want to erase them and you’ll have to solve your way out!
Also, say hello to prof.Telos, which I never had the chance to introduce! He is clumbsy :B And he’s new to this, so be nice to him.
Clor’s not his real name, it’s the one he’s been giving during his freshman year :D He’s been on that College for so long, people no longer remember his real name and everybody calls him Clor anyway.
Maybe his mother too.
Also, for those who missed it, here’s a youtube video with the making of this comic: Xequiraute!
Or at least I believe it’s pretty hard to distinguish dark blue from black with a dim light. That’s what they say “My granny picked me the socks, and doesn’t see to well, she’s old and it was so dark last night, not my fault.“
But hairs still got done.
Also, they’re not in the cinema, that’s an amphitheater where Theorical lessons go. Sometimes the professors turn the lights down so we can see their projections better. Cinema-ish, indeed.
Electron. That’s what we call Electrotechnical Engineering students (along with all the courses this branch covers – there are many courses covered by the name of Electrotechnical Engineering, but their students are always called Electrons, afaik). This story’s full of Electrons and nobody really knows their specific course… Since it doesn’t really matter much.
It’s a known fact that Electrons are rude, stinky, badass, reply to their Seniors and are probably the worst tempered among the students. They also run around with their pants on their heads. I’d say maybe they are the way they are because every day is pledge day for them; just more opportunities to get pissed.
Yes, they run around the campus with these ears and their heavily dirtied clothes (which probably changed colors some three times by now). They’re sometimes seen running ’round buildings with their pants on their heads.
I’m sorry for the lack of uptates recently. A lot of work as come. I mean, I’ve been too busy refreshing pages.
We all know those cloacks have special powers.
Like keeping you safe from ghosts!
Even I admit this was a lame one…
I had this comic planned for later, but since the theme kept on coming back at me recently, I decided to upload it now. It’s been on the script for a while too, so any excuse to make it public is a good excuse.
Sometimes it’s better that you don’t talk about certain things to certain people.
Also, this suits Clor just perfecty. All the excuses to draw this happy man are good excuses.
I swear this is the last chicken I give them!
That dark thing in the background – it’s a Piano. Also, paying with books and chicken is always good for people who don’t have money. E.g. college students.
As I have made no special comic for today, I’ll leave you with a beautiful Mechanical Engineering Freshman (aka Piston)! Yes, they use these awesome outfits, I just am not totally sure about them waving tools around. But I’m allowed to dream, right? :]
Later on I might show more freshmen. You know, they all have wonderful different suits. Yay for diversity!
Yes, the face Clor’s making – that’s how I look when I’m checking my grades. Oh, the suspense.
But this little story doesn’t come out of thin air – whenever I have a test and I am nervous about it, I always hear my mom “pray so you’ll get a good grade”. It’s like I don’t even have to study anymore! :D Sadly, it didn’t work all too well for Clor. You’ll have VIBON again next year, don’t worry.
I don’t have VIBON myself, but I’ve heard it has a huge retention rate. So this scenario mustn’t be as rare as it looks.
I may or may not have developed electric abilities during the past week and I may or may not have used them to kill a specific friend I may or may not have tried to kill before.
Super-powers aside, I’m finally on vacations! I mean, College vacations, ’cause I still have to work :] Which is not so bad right now because I have more time to get the job done – and nicely done too, I like nicely executed things.
Oh also, if I don’t manage to post anything else till then, happy hollidays!
Oh gee.
They never have any time to get their talks to the end. They should have this conversation at home, though.
Well, my hardware’s being an ass lately, so it’s been hard to keep with the Doce production. But I’ll try to get this done by Thursday. I hope.
Oh God Yes! :D
Finally, after such a long time, I managed to bring you another Doce! ♥
I’ve been slacking off (main reason for the hiatus to be even longer), but other aspects interfered… College is another one and the disfunctional scanners are the other. In order to make this Doce I had to pick a photo of the sketch =_= But anyways, it’s been such a long time since I drew a manga page it really took some time for the previously gathered knowledge to kick in. Oh well, I hope I can do better with the following ones :3
Everything you have been thought about the internets is wrong! The internets are nothing but a big cloud you can connect to via cables. There’s always a cable somewhere and there’s always a cloud. That explains pretty much how you can access the internets in so many places.
Recenly the cable is being replaced with a cable made of air.
Also, keys flying out of my keyboard turns out to be a true story. So as the O3O face and the coffee.
Do not overuse the internets. They may thunderbold you.
Siiigh, I finally managed to put Doce online again! :D
Guess it wasn’t so easy to come back to the makings of them, since I’m still not used to my new Pen Tablet (no matter just how much awesome it is) and it gives me the creeps when I draw~ Maybe the drivers weren’t so well installed as I thought :3
While it is not solved, oh well, creeepppy artz too! That was supposed to look like the metro station =_=
Well, back to the Doceness, we’re finally moving for some more action, with metal cans! :D
Art by Molin
And here’s a lil filler to fill all your sugary needs!~ And right on time, after my cute tablet accidente :B Angela’s got such a lovely mini-skirt, no? I’d marry her :3
Lolgangsta! I had to edit this at college with MsPaint! Twas awesome, I couln’t recall paint’s commands (I wouldn’t last a day without Photoshop ;_;)
Heyo there!
We interrupt your broadcast to present some Clorationness!!
This image is actually part of a reference sheet you can download here – so you can have the full-size and peek at more Clorness ÔwÔ With random details I’m too busy to foccus on Doce!
Oh hai thar! 8D
A lil moment for Mikhail to be alone after Nikita being taken by the so-called “Godmother”. And just what would the boy do when he has to find his Godfather and have a chat? Yes, run away and what better place to hide then the classroom itself?
Such a shame Clor was there!
Oh yes, she has a face!
Meet another character, whose name will only be told in the proper time, just like everyone else’s names, uhu 8D At least we gotta know who’s Nikita’s pledge brother – seems to me it’s Raph – and a little bit about his…plan. (I doubt there’s a plan tho)
I did make no doce for today, so I present you with this little bit of Mikhailness 8D
Vacations, finally! XD
This one was done during my vacations moments :3 And yeah, sometimes I’m eagering for inspiration to come and nothing happens… and other times, I’m just wondering “why am I creating a new life to those dudes I don’t even know?”
Yes, folk, it is true!! :D Today it’s the mark, it makes 1 full year since I’ve started Doce’s second season! *throws conffetti* Such a milestone!
Let’s cross our fingers and hope there’s another cupon next year ÒwÓ For great justice!
Happy New Year!
This year you won’t get more Doce!! XD ah, this lame joke has to be done every single year :3
Moving to the comic, I guess this little pause moment was needed, to foccus things on Keyo for a while, he’s kinda unpleased~ And we’re yet to find out why, but Shizamura’s being sharp with that question, nay? Well, Keyo and Clor seemed to know eachother long before the beggining of this story. I’m not sure if Keyo’s gonna like the answer :D
Happy New Year!
Sorry for the absence! (again!) :D I was beaten up, but now that vacations are here, I managed to publish a Doce *thunder and lightening* Tho once my internets are dead, do not expect me to be around that much… ^^; Which doesn’t mean you can poop here D:
So, the story continues where I left it :3 Sorry if the narrative is a little messy, but that’s what I get (confuzzlionness) for having big time gaps between the pages, argghh, it does not work if you do not do it right ._. Blah, I’ll try to solve that, I promise!
He’ll water your head?
By the time you read that, it would have happened again.
Random gag with a fun fact of my life XD Yeah, I kinda forget about the world around me (and inside of me, by the looks of it) when I’m working. Maybe I’m turning into a workaholic, I don’t know *shrug* And woo, if I were to do these gags instead of full pages, I think I’d never miss an update… Nevertheless, you can’t take from me the joy of making full pseudo-manga-pages! XD
Sorry, peeps, once again the failure stepped opon me, making it impossible to have a page in time! :D But fear not, this will just keep on happening (I hope not!) Anyways, moving on-
It’s amazin how the mind can wander off in the most spectacular occasion. Like when you’re being hazed and you still cannot take out of your mind that sooner or later dinner will have to be done.
LET THE AUCTIONS BEGIN! ![]()
I know this kind of actions aren’t made everywhere, but hei, I can’t be showing all at a time :3 but I gotta do the best I can. There’s more to come about this subject too, just wait for it :D It’s been a long time since I’ve seen an action like this, so I’m trying to recall it the best I can ._. Also, prices in the mighty euro? Nothing made more sense to me at the moment! Don’t worry, the money will revert to the students ^__^ Nobody’s taking it home!
And there’s nothing else to say about this page. Gosh, I love windows and trees, have you noticed? I love backgrounds :B They vary so much.
The most awesome battle evur keeps on going! :D It seems like our guys are winning and.. They got an 8.5 from some drunk senior, oh the joy :3
Nevermind the naked little electro dude on the floor. He might be dead. And don’t mind either the fact they’re doing ballet. D: It happens, I mean, when you’re so foccused on standing for your course and making noise?
I bet it has happened to you. :3 Now back to work!
Oh, they did charge : D
Ok, so this only comes to make us even more sure of the law that stated “all freshmen must fly”. And also the other one saying “and they explode on contact”. :3
BEHOLD
That’s how you use a spoon :B
Plegde time @ college :3 As mentioned before, starting at 7:01 in the morning! :’D No wonder all of them are in such a nice mood x3 Mikhail hasn’t recovered from yesterday’s chock and Nikita is, well, being Nikita-ish : P
Ooho, here she comes~
And it’s late and she’s arrived and Mikhail’s sleeping and she’s all damp and then she’s gone and Mikhail wakes up and finds some sheet that wasn’t there, on the drama D:
But aww, she was touched by her husband’s attitude :3
And the big reason why Mikhail did not want to dine with his peers was… So he could prepare surprise super-hyper-mega-cool dinner for wife :3 Who decided not to show up! :’D Ego slap for you, Mikhail!
Those numbers in the top panels were meant to be the flow of time D: I wonder if I got it right, or at least understandable, you tell me *w*;;
Woozah, an unrelated page! :’D
I just really, really wanted to show this new addiction of mine :3 I’ve been working with inks and different types of markers to get a new result and I’m kinda happy ^_^ Even tho this one has nothing to do with the Doce series (I guess this one’s more TOBIRA-ish), I still wanted to publish it out :’3
Have fun!
Hello once more!
Oh Keyo, aKa Senior Freshness, just join the dark side already! XD And ok, this must have been the page with more swearing ever… But there shall be more in the future, tehe xD
And for now you’ll have to deal with mighty Clor’s rage over Keyo, Keyo’s “ok, I promise I’ll fix it tomorrow”, Shizamura’s “oh please dun hurt mah boyfriend!”, Nikita’s “I’ll figure it out tomorrow” and Mikhail’s zombie-ish “Baath…” What could be more awesome than that?
OH hai! Sorry for the little delay (oh mies, one day and a half!), but exams come first :3 I’ve been studying almost non-stop, but hopefully things are over now *phew*
So, back to bsns, after having Freshmen running away, it’s time for the mighty Clor to finally tell why he wants Senior Freshness to be back to the pledge.. Becoz he’s slacking!
Hey look, they’ve shown up once more! :’D
I know, I negleted them on the last pages, but I wanted to make sure they were alive OwO; They seem to be such a happy couple, nay?
Guess how many times I repeated the pannel? (if there’s any guess to do xD)
To be as one!
That’s one of the main things the pledge tries to teach to those who follow it, to be one with the group :3 To achieve such thing, they use many methods – and treating everybody under the same name and punishing the person next to you are just two of them x3 There are more tho, and I’ll try to show them later :3 On the meanwhile, enjoy the eggs and the breaded beefs!!
Sorry for the delay :3 I had an exam this morning and… Well, it happened xD
YaY! :’D Another Doce!
The wrestle is getting closer by the day, these little fellows have a lot to train ’till then! OwO And of course, they should know already that Freshmen can never say “I don’t know”… Let’s wait to see the punishment (EGG!?)
Finally! :’D Sorry for the little delay on this one, people, I know it was not in time, but there was internet downtime here T_T Also, with the exams coming on next week, it’s funny to have all the stress coming on so quickly :’D aaah, these did not taste like vacations at all, but moving on…
Confrontations, fights, they will be begin! It’s time for the Freshmen to learn quickly how to behave and what they’ll do when they meet the other courses :3 I hope they behave good and leave a good impression! For the time being, I guess it’s just singing, but maybe more will come in the future ;3
Chapter 3! – of Training and Confrontation
Yes, another chapter to come *happycry* Because I just recently noticed I’ve gone over 50 pages *w* And every little milestone is a huuge milestone to me, so I think it’s good that I make big picture for every 25 Doces ;3 Don’t you think? Okey, so I guess that, now moving to the page itself, the title is pretty obvious about what’s coming next… And I won’t spoil you more, don’t worry ;3 That’d be no fun ^__^
By the way, I’ll be putting some updates on the blog too, I think those are worth checking out, not only for me, but for you as well ;3
Inté!
Mikhail looks like the Virgin with that sheet on the head :B And dun ask how he got there, you’d better not know!
Now, Angela’s getting quite paranoid about the subject, isn’t she? Well, she’s got some reasons for that XD
Stay tunned :’D
Good morning, lad, I has no coffee!
Awe, it was really hard to draw Senior Non-Serial with happy face ._. It was beyond what I thought possible Dx and that single last pannel personally killed me, but I guess I made it OwO d
:’D We finally get to know who’s Angela’s Godfather (and I mean Godfather as in, her Pledge Godfather >_>;; ) Guess he ran out of coffee this morning 8D and poor Angela had to wake up, oh she was sleeping so well ^__^
Let’s see what’s coming next on Monday! :’D
Angela’s got something she’s not proud of :3 Sometimes you just can’t control yourself, right?
:’D And now time for some NightTime pledge~~ Because Angela’s on the second year and therefore, she can only pledge Mikhail on the night ;3
The war is over, my little warrior, go home!!
Mikhail’s home :3 And Ângela’s taking care of him, avoiding the question…? Or is she? :’D Sounds like controling people around is something she doesn’t like to do as well ^^ Neither Mikhail seems to aprove, maybe only on small dosis?
Srsly, I need to sleep! =w=
Hola! :’D
You may notice this is more your “lazy” kind of Doce :3 But I kinda felt there was a need to slow down a little and let the Freshmen talk for a while. And getting around with some little little issues like the Mikhail one on the first three panels and showing finally Raphael (the number 64) without the ears XD I kinda noticed I did never show his head :3
Also, discussing Non-Serial :3 Because he just looks too much “out of normal” for these little peeps here ^^
And this is the end of the shortest FlashBack Evur! 8D
It was fun to draw all these Freshmen with their ears :3 They look way to cute XD Now to srs bsns… Nikita is back to pledge action and Mikhail is probably Lolwhuting on his mind for what he recalls is not exactly… Nikita saying “oh yeah, I so totally love the pledge!!!one!!1!!”. Time for him to wonder and wonder :3
And it’s also time for the other Freshmen to talk a little about their Seniors x3
Inté! :’D
Hello hello, Doces!
Sorry I am late today :3 But the doce is here now! (some hours late, tho…)
And so, here’s a little flashback between Mikhail and Nikita… Which makes Mikhail wonder even more how come Niki-kun is on the pledge again… Why if he seemed to hate it so much? Does it have anything to do with the talk he had with Angela?
Enjoy! :’D More to come on Monday!
Sorry, I really had to put the Nhe song! XD
Ok now, so the Freshmen are all full of happy joy and wooo, Nikita’s among them! :3 And by the look of it, someone’s not pleased and another someone is wondering why…
And this time Mikhail is not looking at Angela… Oh well, the truth is, Freshmen cannot stare at their Seniors, but I guess Mikhail is not doing so just because of the rule ;3
More to come tomorrow!
Hello Doces! :’D
It’s Wednesday, and therefore, Fanart day! Today’s one was brought you by the emezin Rod Molinaro, author of the webcomic BlackJackeline :3 As you can see, the theme this time is “Kiss” ^_^
Kiss, kiss, all year round x3
Doce will come back tomorrow! :’D In the meantime, enjoy this one :3
And in the next morning, the fiercesome Angela invades the uni’s corridors, tap, tap tap tap and then, slaaam on the desk! :’D Oh happy mood!
Yes, general discussion :3 Keyo, or Freshness, is always getting away from the pledge, isn’t he?
Mikhail can cook and I can has background (oh joy joy)! :3 Angela’s gonna have a food coma XD
So, Mikhail is still a little… Doubtfull?, about Angela’s behaviour… But is he right? What’s so important that he doesn’t want Angela to do, yet he still thinks she will?
Hello there, Doces! :’D
Wednesday means a special Fanart for Doce, and this time it was made by the Xuxuness Queen, name her KillerS0ul :3 I colored it myself ;3
So yeah, this means if you want to do a fanart for Doce, you might have the chance to have it posted here on a random Wednesday (at least for the coming month). I’d make a post on the Blog, but as my internets are kinda… Well, dying, I’ll let the stuff here for now :3 I’ll do the remaining updates later! (or so I hope, *ahem*)
Well, have fun with this awesome piece of awesomeness, made in the the YonKoma (4koma) format! :3
Inté!
Ufa, long time since the last one :3 For you to stay in touch, you can go back to the 32nd page ^_^
So yeah, a little bit more info on the Freshmen stuff XD They gotta get used to it :’D And a little more on Angela/Nikita talk =__= hum hum hum?
More to come tomorrow! :’D
This summer…

And having that said, may you enjoy the feast!
Heya doces! :D
So this is what happens when le wapy loses all her good pens *nods seriously* Yes, I lost my materials and now you have a terrible scan =________= Anyhow, exams season is just around the corner! :D Read the blog post for more infoness please! :3
We interrupt our normal broadcast to present you……….A filler comic! XD
Things are really going wild here :3 So the main storyline will have to wait a little and I had the chance to practise on little 2-3 panneled comics =3 It will be aired back around Monday, if everything gets solved in time and well ^^
Mikhail’s Sexface FTW!
Hellow Doces! :D
And as promised, the freshmen are going to have lunch together ^^ and oh what’s this, they’re going to eat in the U-shaped table? D: With the seniors? ÔxÔ
Now there seems to be some more strict rules, no? Maybe they’ll learn more in the future too :3
And here go my public thankies to Grig Orig, for helping me out with the wise Seniors’ words! OvO d
Enjoy!
Page 30!! *happy dance*
Ever got the feeling that something’s happening and you don’t like it and yet you can’t do a thing about it? :3 What would you do, sit and stare?
And she appears once again and once more in the company of our dear Senior Freshness XD So she’s Shizamura, hein? X3
And the chatter continues!… So now Angela show real interest in Nikita… But once again, why? :3
And the freshmen also seem to have some special interest on Mikhail, (or on his attitude) or is it just a common little madness? XD
Sorry for the little delay on this one… ^^;
And so now, as they were eagering to know the reason, they’re totally ignored XD And now that’s some ignoring, no Mikhail? :3 Maybe you need to treat others better… And now Angela’s shown up too, what does she have on her sleeve?
Dura Praxis, sed Praxis!
The pledge is tough, but it’s the pledge!
And that’s for you to know ;)
Dura Praxis, sed Praxis is how commonly the Pledge is described here. Simple as that :3 And I couldn’t have come up with a better title for the 2nd Chapter of Doce. If you think you’ve seen it already, then you’d better think again! Worse things are about to come! }:3
So, the Praxe keeps on going and they keep on being just so sweet <3
Some changes on this page – I think I can now manage to make the pages half by hand, half digitally :3 This will help me making them better, or at least just like they used to be, but faster XD Tell me what you think of this ;3
Bigger page this time! :3 I’m making some more experiments this time, specially because I am a little sad that the story is flowing too slowly… Though I don’t know for how long I’ll be able to keep up this rythm. I mean, I cannot stay up late everynight, I have another life >_>
And now you finally meet some new characters! I know the Sophomores shouldn’t be giving out their nicknames right now, but I don’t think that’s much of an important detail (specially thinking that I loved their nicknames <3). Now behold the cuteness of theirs…
She’s maad!!
It’s hard to play with the character’s personallities when there’s only one page a week. I wanted to do more, maybe two or three, but I don’t have the time. I’m just happy I found some even to make this page :3 I hope you enjoy it as much as I did >_> That first expression to me is pure awesomeness!! But then again, Mikhail is totaly immune :3
Finally, the story!
Travelling away from home, being on themselves, having to rent a place to live… It’s a whole new life for them :D I hope they get along with their own rules fine ^_^ They’re just not used to it, but I’m sure they will ;)
Angela’s leaving Mikhail for a while ;) But it’s his first day, he needs to be there in time!
Prologue, page 3.
And she liked it!
Prologue pages were given away fast ;D This is, so you can understand it better and for not delaying the real story too much ;D. Tell me what you think.
Prologue, page 1
Mikhail did something and that’s hitting Angela in some way… He’s more grown up, maybe ;D
Hi!
I shall present the next saga… DOCE!!!
The next pages may or may not be related to the previous. This is a whole new story, so don’t feel confused if you were following a line that disapeared ;) The characters Mikhail and Angela are still are, as so as many other that will come in the proper time! The prologue will come soon!
Nice outfits? Happy New Year to you all!
