EDIT2: I need to make a new strip, damn. Well I finished the minicomic that’ll help!! Remember, if you want to still get the minicomic, just push the shameless button on the main site and specify in the notes that you would like to donate for February! If you donated between March 1st and today and haven’t gotten the mini comic yet, please e-mail me at —- > hanna@aftertorque.com < ----- to request it! I either missed it or it wasn't specified and I assumed it was for March! Thanks so much for your help! Here's the preview:
EDIT: I have been struggling with the next strips and everything else but its just going damn slow. Now I have to do some necessary packing/moving and feeling sick on top of it to boot so it’s gonna be a tad quieter than usual for a bit. So sorry. I feel rotten about it but trying to force myself to finish all this stuff hasn’t really been working. Guest week is next week so it will be cool then I hope! Thanks so much guys. I will try to get stuff up as soon as possible, honestly sincerely! I love ya. Tessout!
Another strip! I am BAH at this one too I think I am just having a very rough drawing week it is all so difficult for me lately.
Also, about the February donation, I’m ALMOST DONE but not there yet so here’s the thing if you were waiting just go ahead and do it and I will make sure you get the FEB. I will also extend the donation bracket into March (until the 10th) for you so that you are sure to get Feb if you want it. If you donated for Feb and still want to get it in for March just specify in your notes in the paypal thing that you are specifically wanting Mrach so that I do not send you Feb twice! I have everybody’s e-mail saved who donated for February so YOU WILL GET THE MINICOMIC. I promise.
Sorry it’s taking so long I may have bit a tiny bit more than I thought I could chew. Hopefully it will be worth it!!
You guys rock!
Here’s the shameless button.
Don’t push yourself! If you need to take time off from the comic to recover and do stuff, go ahead! Thanks for letting us know… now I won’t come back here 3+ times a day looking for a comic. Hope you feel better soon! You’re the best!
Aww it’s okay! If you feel pressured, DON’T! We can be patient. You rock so hard.
Take as much time as you need. You do so much, and we love your work a lot! It would really be a shame for you to feel burned out and not enjoy making the pages, so just do what you need to do! We love ya!
Oh, and Tessa… you’ve won Ludo another costumer. I just bought Broken Bride two days ago. Thank you for being such a big fan- you made me check out their stuff and I love it!
Same here! (Well with their first album) :)
AWW, poor Tessie :<
It's good to know you're alive (rest! sleep and drink and eat and play a lot! it improves health XD), and you remember that we love and worry about you ;]
As for the next strip – dun worry about us, take a good care about you and your stuff you have to do ;] Your comix is too awesome, little gap won't daunt us ;]
It’d be nice if I could hit that shameless button just once.
Second that.
It’s kinda… tempting…
OOoooh I got paid today! I CAN HIT IT!! I can’t give much but I CAN HIT IT! :D
Uooo! :D
Retroactive “That’s What She Said” ftw.
I have no online paying method…I can never ever press the shameless button…
:sadface:
me neither. *sadface* let us be internet-backwards together.
Same here~
And apparently the comic is really amazing ;___;
lol XD two aces of spades. nice. And I love how magic/ paranormal stuff is sort of common place, at least around Hanna. :) Toni’s so funny :[ Thanks for writing this!
I always catch up to the really awesome comics when they slow down *fumes*
You have a really awesome comic here, I really enjoyed reading it all the way up to here!! Can’t wait for more!!
MORE HANNA NOW!
Don’t worry about it…get better soon and good luck with the packing/moving
… so now that Tessa’s on hiatus, I’m only checking for an update TWICE a day.
Four times, tops.
You know why she has to pack? I bet she’s bought a mansion with all our donation money and is finally moving out of her sh!tty little apartment!
Just discovered your comic today through flaky pastry. LOVE LOVE MAJOR LOVE for your work!!! I’m so into intensely colored comics with actually good, non-cheesy storylines and interesting characters. I love the way you switch up the fonts, sizes and colors of the words to convey thoughts and emotions, everything. Hope the comic restarts soon! Sadly, I have no paypal and live far far away, so I can’t make a donation ):
Whenever I see Casimiro’s weird comb-over, I think it looks like a monster is grabbing him by the head. HOHSHIT DON’T TELL ME CASIMIRO DOES THAT SO HIS SANDY BLONDE WIG DOESN’T FALL OFF
Nah, he admitted he “messes with it a bit”, a.k.a dyes/styles it, in the QnA on her DA.
86.3 = (Total number of times hanna.aftertorque.com visited / number of days since I found it) ~= approximate number of times visited per day since finding it on Feb 20. …I swear to god I’m not addicted. ><; (I also come back to check the comments… and reread things… and… stuff… /hide )
That reminds me… According to Compete.com, this site got nearly 4,000 unique visitors in January, and they racked up a total of over 25,000 visits altogether. Not sure if it’s accurate, but damn, that’s not far from what Lackadaisy Cats gets.
Tessa reads Boxer Hockey? Srsly? :D
Relax! It’s just a comic. You’re lucky to have such supportive fans! Here’s hoping all goes well for you…
I keep rereading the archives. I need a life.
*also guilty of needing a life* It doesn’t get boring does it? ^^
Aaand the first week of march passed… I’m checking page 5-6 times a day (although deviant is being checked like 20-30 times per day, I just can’t resist from doing it >w<')…
I can't imagine what happiness will be here when next strip will show up XD
I think it’ll be a big mix of “HOMGYAY NEW HANNA” and “OMGYAY YOU’RE ALIVE!!” :D At least 50/50.
Get better soon! And don’t worry about having to take a break to get well, just read all the comments! It’s like you have a ton of mothers >< Eat right, get lots of rest and do what you need to do to get everything in order, no rush… but that doesn't mean I'm gonna stop checking three times a day, too obsessed!
Take the time you need, Tessa! If you hurry, the art suffers. You wouldn’t be happy with the results if you’d make them in a hurry – so just relax and do what you need to do. We are able to wait :)
Like hunnnnngry lions. But the wait is worth it <3
I figure that if Tessa shit on a plate and handed to us, we’d scarf it down without a second though. Admit it: we’re obsessed.
You caught me ¦D
Sooo obsessed. u.u;
For some strange, unexplained reason, Casimiro and Finas remind me of Jay and Silent Bob.
I’m not exactly sure just how my mind connected them… o.o
OH MY GOD. CAN’T UNSEE.
Awww! I know how you feel, I feel so sick right now. But I still have stuff to take care of also, moving sucks normally but when you’re sick it’s like three shades of Hell!! Bribe some of the boys at the coffee shop with double shots to help with the heavy lifting!!
We’ll be waiting for you dear, get well soon!
Oh no, now I’m all caught up. This comic is too pretty for me to be up to date. I wanted to wander through archives forever!
Aw I can’t donate, cuase i’m broke…oh well~ Keep up the good work. But don’t push yourself! Rest if you need it!
Hope you get better soon! Mostly out of kindness but a bit out of obsession with HiNaBN =D
I LOVE THE MINI COMIC SO MUCH!
So that mini comic made a good end to a long work day. :)
really random, but it’s kinda inspiring how the very first page of HiNaBN only has ten comments on it.
and now we’re over a 150 comments for a page, at least or something.
awesome, isn’t? :D
Aw we can wait, so don’t pressure yourself! <3
Seeing the mini-comic in my inbox today (along with your lovely message) just made my day, Tessa. Thank you so much; the comic is wonderful. The dynamic between Conrad and Doc. Worth is just fascinating, and the art is just gorgeous. The texture especially – it seems to have some kind of translucent, yet holographic quality to it.
Ha ha, and it’s veritable slash fuel for the shippers. Aw, Worth, I never thought you could be so…
Ah, but I wouldn’t want to spoil anything. Go get it guys! I want to be able to gush about it with someone.
Hi there, I just donated and I know it’s March and all but I was kinda hoping to get the February mini comic….I mean if that’s all right…
Yeah anyways thanks for being so fantastically awesome and what not. I love your style and just about everything about Hanna is Not a Boys Name, and your other comics too. ummmyeah thats all bye =)
Your style is fantastic.
You give all the characters lovable personalities.
The storyline is amazing.
Hanna Is Not A Boy’s Name is absolutely one of my top favorites.
Hiya, is it ok if I donated and instead got the January Wall paper? Or is it too late? o:
Aaah, chill about the strips, feel better first! Don’t get sick D’:
The donation minicomic was amazing btw ~~ ♥
moarr!
I just barely discovered this thing yesterday and I love itt!
Yess! Over 200 comments!
Dude. After reading this page what? Ten times? I finally think I understand the general gist of what Hanna’s saying in panel three. XD Soemthing along the lines of “It’s kind of cold, but you’re dead so you wouldn’t feel it.”
I’ve wondered a few times since this was originally posted if he was saying something like that (i.e. something not directly related to crazy-scars). Tessa could be being tricky.
Ummm…. when is Conrad going to get his food?
oh god, what I would give to be able to donate for February’s comic.
it looks so wonderful. ; ________________________;
Super great post! Truely!
I want to see the scene where Fineas says “O.K guys, lets calm down here, I have a pack of cards in my jacket pocket, why don;t we settle this over a nice, civilised, game of ‘Go fish’?”
Don’t worry Hanna Zombie dont mind if you strip ;D sorry i neeed to stoooooooop
Oh, Hanna, you can go around stripping if you really feel like it
<3
I really, really, really, really (and so xD) Love Toni so much
