A little commentary after the jump. Read it faggots.


I assume you’re all familiar with the “Choose Your Own Adventure” series of books that were all the rage a decade or so ago. If you’re not, the concept is simple: the book isn’t read in order, but instead at the end of each page, you have a number of choices that would direct you to different pages – and a different outcome.

What I’m trying to do here is the same thing, except you too can take a role in the creative process! Pick a choice every time a new comic is finished, and I’ll try to take the idea that’s most popular and run with it. I have as much idea about where the story is going as you do, so I think this will be a fun little exercise. Well, maybe not so little. Even though it’s the poll that will ultimately decide where the story goes next, if you have an interesting idea, do post a comment and tell me about it. If it’s good, and your choice wins, your idea will be immortalised as part of the Trap Impz Saga.

I’m using Impz here because I am boring and unoriginal, but with your input, who knows where the story will go?

By the way, this first choice is completely artificial, since I already know what the next strip is going to be. I gotta introduce some other characters you know, otherwise the story could end up stuck on an eternal Impz monologue.

This is also a way to test the waters, so to speak. This is a lot of work for me; this one strip took me 3 hours (I’m still experimenting with the format, and hopefully as I get better with my tablet that time will become much shorter). So if you like it and want to see where it can go from here, leave a comment, and pick a choice! Without your support, this project won’t work, and I’ll have to abort it.

Finally, a little about the drawing(s). I copy-pasta’d the comic, so that saved me a bit of time. Hopefully in the future I can do it all freehand. As for the illustration, I’m still not satisfied with Trimpz’s design. Trimpz is, in my mind, much younger than this. Maybe 6-8 (he’s supposed to be a loli-trap, remember), and the proportion in this illustration makes him look like a middle schooler. Oh well, guess I will just have to keep working at it.

    Actually, this is fine.

    Is it wrong to ogle at myself?

    Though stop MAKING ME A TRAP. I look nothing like a trap! ..My voice …is another matter.

    At the time of my posting this comment, the sidebar poll is about that batshit girl Noe. And, I might add, it’s complete bullshit that Noe x Jun is not leading it.

    Anyway, Magitech, if it’s at all related to the FF6 Magitech.

    Otherwise, other: drills.

    I’m going for Other: Unhealthily Close Relationship With Mother. What can I say? I like my so-called psychological realism.

    [Apologies to Impz . . . Lupus has your permission, right? . . . Right?]

    I too vote for GN Particles, for the lulz. They seem to do everything else.

    Can I draw some Impz fanart? :D

    @Hinano: I’ll do some Impz x Mako-chan Trap Yaoi. :-p

  8. Posted March 11, 2008 at 6:56 pm | Permalink

    BTW, Impz wasn’t transformed into a trap (he ain’t no Hashimashi). He was born as a trap, those are the better quality ones.

  9. Posted March 11, 2008 at 6:56 pm | Permalink

    Oh I want “broken by Kana” but magitech is fine too.

    @Impz
    The internet has spoken there is no changing your blog persona.

    @lolkit
    Problem fixed, now swing that purse like you mean it. Noe is Moe. Sieg Noe.

    @Hinano
    Please go wild. I for one welcome the inevitability of Lupus and Impz fanart. Just leave the rest of us out of it… XD

    I vote ‘broken by a Minami sister’.

    …What? Why are you guys giving me strange looks?

    haha agree with that

    Will there be counseling offered for those who fall in love with this moe trap?

    Impz fan art is nice and good, so long as you do not pull a Lupus and draw me in as a rake… Although Crusader is right, so as long as Impz is a trap, I’m a rake…

  17. Posted March 11, 2008 at 7:56 pm | Permalink

    You just want to draw an Impz panty-shot. Admit it…

    Not to mention a *bounce* intensive beach scene…the hot springs scene…the “I accidentally walked in on you changing” scene…*mumble mumble*

    I do like the idea you’ve got going here though, already looking forward to the next one.

  18. Posted March 11, 2008 at 7:57 pm | Permalink

    The foul taint of Chaos has tainted impz beyond compare, turning him into a trap.

    The Inquisition demands clearance to go after the foul mutant and purge him.

    I’ll do it tomorrow on my tegaki if I don’t forget.
    Fear not, I’m only drawing the trap-chan, I don’t plan to do any yaoi..(yet) BD

    “You just want to draw an Impz panty-shot. Admit it…”

    There’s really something disturbing about this statement. :O

    But Lupus, that comic is cute! Impz, you should be proud your internet persona looks so cute. :D

    Wow, you draw like a girl too. :)

    Impzie is a girl, right?

  25. Posted March 11, 2008 at 11:14 pm | Permalink

    Voted Magitech.

    This comic needs a henshin sequence in the future.

    definitely broken by some Minami sister.

    I chose other as Impz would have been transformed into a loli character so that an anime series can be made after him (or it?) Then a loli impz doll will come out and Crusader can announce a new commander, the 6th commander of his fleet. The loli Impz fleet.

    Gah that was really long winded.

    ^agreed. The special “juice” did it!

    Everybody’s g…uhh… for Impz, all over again?

    Nazi science sneers at gender! (Joke line (or variation…) from Irregular Webcomic! Not serious here about real Nazi or anything…)

    Ah well…science it is…

  31. Posted March 12, 2008 at 6:19 am | Permalink

    “By the way, this first choice is completely artificial”—I noticed this before I made my comment, but it’s kinda funny that so many people are actually throwing input at this one.

    Also, Drm—sometimes, repetition can be a strong rhetorical device. And sometimes, it can just fail. The foul taint tainted something to become foul? You sir rock at sucking.

  32. Posted March 12, 2008 at 7:06 am | Permalink

    Other: A twisted sense of narcissism made him that way. His statement in the comic is a main indicator here. :P

    I really love this idea, BTW. :P

    This is unacceptable! Impz is 25 not 24! (lol) I have to admit, that trappy-impzie is a knock-out. I go for Others-lack of fufff!

  35. Posted March 12, 2008 at 2:31 pm | Permalink

    Impz is such a whore, holy crap.

  36. Posted March 12, 2008 at 4:14 pm | Permalink

    But he’s our whor…err Impz. I wonder if Impz is ever going to cosplay himself…

    Awww Impz looks sad…wish you added some snow. ;)

  39. Posted March 12, 2008 at 8:52 pm | Permalink

    -_- now why am I looking sad. Meh, this is going from bad to worse. I AM ALWAYS HAPPY!

    Because sad is the new moe D:

    This is not right. Poor Trappy-tan. Impz, I’ll try to give you an honorable method.

    While strolling in China, Impz was ambushed and pushed into the cursed spring by the Shadaloo stooges. How did Impz survive that beating is a mystery. Even I don’t know. Somehow, it was the cursed spring of the cute girl. XP

    Those Shadaloo soldiers!

    Ack! Meant to say, “trap”. Bleh! Wow. I must be on some high sake. I don’t know.

    @bata-kun
    a cursed spring? hahaha. turning IMPZ into another ranma? (roflmao)

    @hinano
    your fanart IMPZIE looks so cute only that she doesn’t really look sad, she looks as though she’s holding in something under her breath, holding down her hair. :D

    though there may be other possible reasons, i went for magitech :)

  44. Posted March 13, 2008 at 2:47 am | Permalink

    I voted other:

    Me and Impz were “playing” doctors and nurses and I just followed the textbook for plastic surgery.

    Haha…. nice one LUPUS. Love the comic by the way. it actually makes sense. and it is also true that IMPZ is special in the way that he has a very unique voice…..

  47. Posted March 14, 2008 at 3:32 am | Permalink

    WHAT SCIENCE DONE

    … yeah, you can probably guess how I voted.

  48. Kherubim
    Posted March 14, 2008 at 6:26 am | Permalink

    Yesss…. Definitely broken by a Minami sister… she removed his armor but it was Impz who walked the path on his own… Manly clothes can no longer conceal his wild trappiness :D

    Yup, another Ranma. Ha ha ha!

    Yay! More Trimpz comics! The art looks really good, Impzie looks so cute. I vote for “Broken by a Minami sister”!
