No joke this week, so have some cute instead!
As some of you might know, I experienced a lot of bad karma this week including getting my car stuck in a ditch twice and dropping my laptop during a torrential snowstorm.
This week’s comic was also lost along with the screen’s glass and keyboard. I haven’t slept in the last 30~ hours and stayed at work until 9.30pm each night to get this finished on time. I really hope you enjoy it. I didn’t want to let everyone down, but I think I need to take a week off next week and get stuff in order, plus buy a new laptop.
These things happen, I just wish they didn’t happen to me.
Apologies in advance, Crazy Sunshine will resume March 13th. Thanks for understanding, and thanks for your support on Facebook and Twitter!
Cute is the new terror!
I am not sure Candy approves of cute! But Peppermint IS her boss, so to speak!
Maybe overused, but:
Phe4r teh Cut3
I’m not sure how those clothes look cute, but Peppermint is a genius so…. (Also, first)
Defeat…forgot to input the email and lost the battle T_T
Maybe I should give out awards for whoever gets anything but the first comment. It’s nothing special.
And now I feel slightly disheartened…
Stop trying so hard! ;D
“Warning: Peppermint’s Molecular Makeup’s side-effects include blindness, paranoia, mutations, feeling-that-you-are on fire, mild death, vomiting and the -0001% chance of incredible genius”
If I ever run into Candy one day, would she mind if I asked scratched behind her ears?
I think she would mind, actually, considering you’re human and a total stranger!
You forgot to include temporary symptoms of death as one of the side effects.
Also not to use if you’re pregnant or nursing. And to consult a doctor if makeup lasts longer than 4 hours.
Also also do not taunt Peppermint’s Molecular Makeup.
Do not operate any Vehicles, or giant mechca’s while under the effect of Peppermint Molecular Make-up, if operating said vehicle or mechca you may experience the following symptoms.
Uncontrollable mood swings, rapid eye twitch, ringing in the ear, your bloodlust for violence may increase, a feeling superiority, then depression, uncontrollable screaming, Berserking, more uncontrollable screaming, passing out.
Upon waking results of amnesia, muscle pain, even more uncontrollable screaming, excessive vomitting, severe cases of depressing teenage angst, extreme amount of waving in the arms, seizures, temporarily death, then coming back in a Glorious Blaze of BADASSARY, then finally achieving the ultimate move, before passing out (again), shall be noticeablely present before subconsciously stepping out the of vehicle or mechca to see you were having a delusional dream sequence while never actually operating said Vehicle, or Mechca.
Head to nearest therapist if all symptoms were persent.
Is pepermint….not frank from TGAG…
No clones or hazardous materials here!
…Not that I know of, anyway.
No hazardous materials? Are you sure? What about that illegal toxic waste dump out back? The one that caused Lacie to hulk-out?
Master, I have a problem with this comic. . . .THE MOE LEVEL IS TOO DAMN HIGH
I ain’t gonna lower it!
Oh, Crazy Sunshine will not update next week. Well, if Gordon Freeman could survive a Resonance Cascade, then I can survive a week without Crazy Sunshine.
Yep, real life threw me a crappy curveball on Monday, this strip was literally uploaded 5 mins before posting.
The worst part is I can’t sleep as work just started, damnit!
On the positive note, cosplaying construction companies would worship her now.
First person to make a Crazy Sunshine cosplay will win…something.
Maybe something I can send from Japan as a thank you!
Challenge accepted sensei. :3
Hmm… for us guys, our only option would be Hershel and the Chief (and maybe Mochi, although that would be interesting…).
The girls’ new costumes are all pretty hard to copy, but I’ve seen crazy cosplays, so you never know.
Huh… Oh, btw, where do we put guest comics?
E-Mail. Link is on the About and Extras pages.
Hehe, the headband makes it very cute…!
I NEVER!!!! thought it could happen b-but it has…….PEPPERS GOT SO MUCH CUTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wait was that actually typed?…DAMN…(using Achmed’s voice of course) Candy is badass as always even when she’s being cute XD
I am trying to make Peppermint look younger, giving her a more circular face, and having her ears stick out slightly.
I think most of the cuteness comes from the fact she’s dressed up like a little scientist! Glad you like it!
In a way,not a lot but in a way candy really is similar to Felicia the dark stalker in capcom vs marvel (sorry if I spelled anything wrong you die hard players)
Do you mean her personality, or looks? I should really play more Darkstalkers, I loved it when I was in high school!
Mainly personality I’d say,and don’t worry I’ve never played it as well I just know about these things.
Oh sure! Test your make-up on cute little beasties! I thought you were different Peppermint! *tear*
FOR SCIENCE!
Maybe it has some awesome side effects – who knows!
I must say that really suck major dinosaur dick what happen to your laptop, may it rest in piece and, be reborn as a newer better laptop, Jkun.
Must… resist… compelling… urge to put a Dr. Light/Right beard on Peppermint in the 3rd panel.
Candy equip Cute Longcoat of Camouflage. Defense+20↑ Stealth+30↑ Adorably Sexiness+50↑
Candy equip Headband of Cosplaying a Cosplayers!: Attach +120↑ Evaden +40↑ Magic Defense +50↑GODDAMN Cuteness +5555↑.
Game breaking, gonna have to patch that.
Patching the Stats,
Candy equip FLCL: Fluffy Longcoat of Camouflage Looks: Defense +20 effect when the hood is on Stealth increase by 10, if the hood is knock, or they know your identity Stealth decrease, by -10 (-20 if both happen.) Additional effects raised Attack by 5% if Peppermint motivates Candy.
Candy equip NHC Noncosplaying Headband of Cosplaying: Stealth +10 increase attack by 5, Magical defense also raises by 5 (-) since it’rl Cosplay -5, (+) If headband forcefully remove Attack raises by 5 due to Panicking Anger.
Still sounds like a badly translated Korean MMO.
Translation Candy longcoat gives her a defense boost, but not only that if she chooses to use the hood it will give her Stealth boost as long she remain undetected by whatever MassiveMetropolis force is sent out for capturement of Rock Candy. Essentially it just like Snakes Box from Metal Gear Solid.
While her Headband is actually kinda the opposite, with she’s hidden in plain sight from MassiveMetropolis Giant Beast catchers but, at the cost of people, and certainly significant # of Otaku’s wanting get a photograph. The plus side she can use the wall of people that form to get picture as cover. This is why the headband stealth stat is basically 10-5=5. The Panicky Anger is mostly a reaction if lets say Lacie troll Candy by removing the headband in public, Candy would have deliver a really quick powerful jab to Lacie to get her headband back, & put it on before anyone notices.
Remember when said I said “Must… resist… compelling… urge to put a Dr. Light/Right beard on Peppermint in the 3rd panel.”
Well long story short,
Had to edit your terrible html embedding!
Also great job, hahaha.
Thank you Jkun for fixing my terrible html embedding!
Thank you for the complement!
Interesting, so that’s why she has the coat and hairband.
Also so Candy isn’t getting off completely scot-free for destroy the city. Though I have to wonder if the city being attacked/destroyed by a monster is something of a regular event.
With the constant war between the Lumia and Unlit, the city is always in some sort of mess!
Also yea! I can’t wait to draw her with her hood up.
Will Candy look like Taokaka with her hood up?
I dunno! That would be a nice nod to one of my favourite beat ‘em up characters though. <3
Wow the thought of Candy acting like Taokaka just cause this chemical reaction of Mind Fuck and a Mind Blow in the now currently missing back of my head. Thou I can see them both doing that Glowing Shining star I while the their respective hoods are on.
*squeeeee* Wiggly ears are wiggly! X3
Must. Resist. Urge. To. Scritch. Em. To avoid a horrible, horrible end.^^°
If you’re a cat then I think she’ll let you get away with it! She loves cute things!
Purr~fect. :3
Horrible end ? Hay, who knows, maybe she’d even like it.
A soft, vulnerable Candy… we certainly don’t see THAT very often. Overall, Candy seems to have a somewhat different “feel” to her character now.
I really like your choice of the yellow, green, and purple! Did that come from the color palette book you have?
And I hope your time off is relaxing! No complaints from me – missing only one comic update in all the two years you’ve been making CS is really quite impressive.
Candy does have a soft side, just tucked away underneath her “don’t give a damn” side!
I just opened the book on a page where nothing matched Peppermint or Candy’s palette. Nothing special!
Thanks for understanding!
I giggled at the hairband joke in panel 4, so I feel adequately supplied with funny. Good luck with driving the gremlins away, and see you when you get back!
I will do my best to kick these bad luck gremlin asses.
The annoying thing is this is the most important part of the Japanese school year (Graduation) so work days are really long and busy, in addition to all the bad stuff that happened this week I also have no time to do anything!
Hurry up and graduate, stupid kids! Give me my free time backkkk!
Everyday is a good day for cosplay!
I can get behind this!
Candy does actually look adorable now. Meow.
I think everyone will agree you deserve that break considering the past week. Hopefully things will pick up soon and be less shitty.
Haha, thanks dude. It’s not going to be a break, like everyone is thinking. I am still going to be drawing every spare second of every day, just skipping a week to in increase buffer size so I can get some rest between future updates.
Oh right! Well, at least eventually you’ll have some more rest once you’ve gotten enough stock piled. I don’t know how you’ve kept going. I’d be dead after a year, let alone two.
sweat droplet…!
ATTENTION EVERYONE!
I propose that on the first of the month, we initially refrain from voting for any comic except Crazy Sunshine on TopWebcomics, and that EVERY READER vote for it, so we can get the news out to the rest of the interwebz about how awesome this strip is!
Who’s with me?! Come on, we can at least get Crazy Sunshine into the Top 100. It deserves the love!
I approve! But you should also support other artists you like too!
With all those chat about the make-up that remind me the first Batman movie, with Joker’s make-up ^^;
You deserve your break ^^
PS : kitty-hears are EPIC :3
Thank you! Yes, they are pretty epic.
It’s not a break as in, sitting by the beach drinking cocktails. I’ll still be incredibly busy drawing every day, just need a week off of releasing comics to get a buffer running!
*hugs*
I wish you good luck ^^
That woman with the big claws and cat ears that resemble the monster that destroyed the city is quite familiar… but with that tiara confuses me!
But that’s no tiara. :I!
It’s a space station!
Just laugh at the Fairy Oddparents’ reference o3o Laugh I say!
(Also, I’m not native english so I don’t know all the words)
With this, Candy has been oficially promoted to a Cute Bruiser.
With that nickname you’re the one gonna be gettin’ bruised, yo!
But that’s my real name… T.T
He’s referring to “Cute Bruiser” and I’m assuming, based on the capitalization, that you are referring to the TvTrope while he’s thinking you mean it as a nickname.
Thus we end up in a hilarious misunderstanding loop where each of your replies ends up being misinterpreted by the other until all sense is lost.
Of course, if your real name IS Cute Bruiser…
Yep, I meant the trope! That was some serious misunderstanding eh? But, for sure if someone called Candy that, it will put that poor person in some serious trouble! Or she will really like it.
Oh I never realized! Sorry! I am terrible with tropes. D:
you guys are the masters though! Feel free to keep updating the page – I even added a link to it in the navigation column. i can’t thank all you contributors enough!
And it looks like Peppermint/Peppers has taken a level in cute.
Glad you like it! Now to go up EVEN MORE LEVELS.
Oh Lord.
Headsplosions occur when you go up levels in cute from this point. o_O
Cheers mate! Don’t worry about needing a break. We wish these things didn’t happen to you too. =)
Thank you!!
I can see that Candy would be “careful” about more of Peppermint’s experiments. The last one, from several years ago, made her look human and it only just wore off.
I just realized this is pretty much the meekest I have seen Candy.
I thought those were dog ears. owo
She does look kind of cute, though. ;P
They are beast ears – neither cat or dog! I’m probably gonna end up referencing both types in the future…! ;D
Finally! *^* I forgot the name of this webcomic such a long time ago an I’m so glad I finally remembered the name!
