Zenos Coat

[Rehiro]

I just read backwards from the most recent comic to the one where Mye rips Zenos coat (I know I am an incredible nerd) and I realized that he never wears that coat again. He does wear a coat that resembles Charbys but I was wondering if he ever gets himself a new coat or has his old one mended. Cause that was the most awesome coat EVER. I also miss that huge face splitting grin he used to have. Also where did Charby and Zeno get their coats?

he has it waiting to be sewn up again when Mye gets the time, we will see it again someday I promise ^_^

Zeno got this coat from Charby, who pretty much stole it from a human he fed on. It was Charby's first gift to Zeno when he first moved to the house.
Charby's newer coat was also taken from a victim. only instead of an actual coat, it is merely a long shirt thta he tore doen the front and ripped the bottoms with his hooks to stylize it. He does this because it resembles the first outfit he wore when he slayed the pirates: he ripped off a piece of their ragged pirate flag to make himself a cape, symbolic of his rebirth in a new "life"
(not because he though vampires wore capes, he didn't know what he was until he felt an urge to eat the pirates he had murdered; the cape was just on a whim)
For the first few stories Charby wears this cape (usually he hides his hooks beneath them, sometimes he holds them out of the seam) and you can tell the difference because he keeps his arms inside the cape whereas there are sleeves on the coat.

and here is a visual, the comic where Zeno gets his coat. This is an old. old comic, taken from the original archives of CTV. this was back when everything was just for my own amusement and I put the bare minimum into the art...this was done with a hotel pen (Hampton Inn, where my friend works) and some crayola colored pencils. Also, this clearly demonstrates why I don't use my handwriting to text my own comic! A lot has changed since this.... feel free to mock it if you want, I do!

if you can't read that and wanna know:

Offscreen: Ouch! No...crap! Arg!

Menu: Hey Pal! You need help or something?

Zeno: Oh, no...my house just collapsed again...I'll manage.

Zeno cont: It's not very easy to be alone out here! Especially with only this stupid loincloth to wear, the insects are murder! I'd just better build my shelter stronger, I might freeze out here! Enough about me, how're things with you? ((he met menu once before, told him to find a "humanoid" demon, because they can enter human cities with little suspicion and procure food))

Menu: Great! Fantastic! I got me a new friend, an' he brings home food! Of course, that's because I'm letting him live at my place. Hey, there's room for more! You wanna join us?

Zeno: well, if it isn't too much bother...I suppose I could see what it's like...sure!

Charby: Welcome to our humble abode! And here...it's not much, but it's waay better then what you have on currently.

Zeno: Oh, thank you thankyou! This is great! I love you guys!(runs off yelling gleefully)

Menu: Eh...well, that was kinda awkward...

Charby: Aw, C'mon! He loves you! Go gettem!

Bwahaha~.. I read the whole thing without the post with the script you added. >:]

[Rehiro]

Thank you so much, you have no idea how happy this makes me! ;D (kind of pathetic I know). heh Zeno is like Eyore with his little house made of sticks that keeps collapsing.

I agree, it'll be nice to see that coat again! Is it just me, or have Zeno's teeth also improved a lot lately? Did he see a dentist?

[Amelius]

indeed, Eeyore is the epitome of patheticnesss and the inspiration for Zeno's bad homemaking skills.
And no, his teeth are still crooked, we just haven't had too many close-up shots of Zeno smilling lately. When I draw it too small, crooked teeth look more like black gaps, and it's the lack of gaps in his teeth that is his problem ^_^

I also was quite fond of that coat. I eagerly await it's return .
