Marko Raassina

It's something what I've been thinking, but been on a backburner. There's some other things I would like to get out at first, there's a book coming out at one point and hopefully getting a plush out too soon!

Marko Raassina

It's one big arc I've been thinking about, hopefully I'll get it started this year perhaps

Todd Donerson II

Are Nerd and Tiger ever gonna have an actual date?

Irresplendence

Had to scroll to the bottom to see if this had been asked. Firstly, thank you so much for the content. I don't think I've ever subbed to a patreon faster. Will there be any potential merchandise down the line? Nothing crazy, but like, stickers, shirts, hoodies, etc? I would love for more ways to support one of my favorite creators, and rocking Nerd and Tiger stuff would be so rad. Thanks again!

Marko Raassina

Right now I just want to keep the main four as the main group, maybe one day if I come up some new and popular characters, I could put them into group. Queen will stay around as an antagonist for now.

Justin

Any plans for new future characters to become permanent members of the gang? Also will queen stay around and if so what do you see her role being

Marko Raassina

No.

David

Don't you think it's a bit of disservice, to put watermark on PAID CONTENT? I know art thieves are a problem but come on.

Marko Raassina

Thanks for your compliments and character idea!

Marko Raassina

I have no idea, well Nerd's favorite was in that one arc from last year, was it mango-pear?

Marko Raassina

Nerd and Olga probably like something Metal, Tiger something girly pop. Don't know about Jock, maybe his favorite "music" is listening sounds of explosions.

Marko Raassina

I have a different name for him, maybe Theodore can be his middle name

Marko Raassina

They have full names, I'm just not sure how to introduce them, or will it ruin the mystery. I kinda like the characters now being the same so not sure how to show them older, but I kinda want to make a comic where they're seniors at one point maybe

Marko Raassina

Delinquent tomboy tropes mostly

Marko Raassina

The first comic, most likely. Maybe something else if I come up with it later

Marko Raassina

Dunno what this means, the series is, and always will be fairly innocent

Marko Raassina

Maybe just heavy injures

Marko Raassina

I don't really remember, I just liked drawing as a kid and then never stopped

Marko Raassina

We kinda saw her as a kid in that one exclusive episode, from last year, the Peanuts one

Miy Eterp

Will we see how Tiger was like in her youth?

Uniternity

what was your main inspiration that made you start drawing?

IronClaw

Has tiger killed anyone? Also, is she a convict considering her past with gangs?

JT

Will Jock and Olga or Nerd and Tiger go...even further with their respective relationships?

Uketa Colbert

How did Nerd and Jock first meet?

Purple_knife

What's your inspiration for tiger?

Alastor The Jester

Do the characters have full names and will we see the Gang grow up like a future joke or something comic with Jock and Olga and Nerd and Tiger with their kids.

TheHumanPerson9753

Can nerd’s name be Theodore? I can’t see him being anything other than a Theodore.

Juggy Duck

What are the four protags favorite ice cream/sundae?

CATHERINE RUIZ

What type of music does each character like?

Marko Raassina

Her family must be one of the richest families in the world. Fun fact, Olga's family is pretty wealthy too

Nico Morales

Hi Marko, big fan of your work. I absolutely love your stories about everyone’s favorite ragtag team of stereotype-breakers. Now you mentioned in another comment that you had some new characters in development, right? I actually have an idea for one, if you’re interested. His name is DJ and he’s a musician like Deadmau5, but he’s actually very shy and timid in any other scenario.

Marko Raassina

Jock most likely likes Cpt. America or Hulk, Nerd likes Batman, Olga likes Spawn. Don't know about Tiger, she likes more of something pink and cutesy instead of super heroes

Marko Raassina

Most likely not, she isn't really a team player. Maybe something that involves violence like boxing would be suitable for her

Marko Raassina

I have some ideas, but again it's just kinda away from making the future stuff, I guess I just kinda want to keep moving forward

Marko Raassina

It was just kinda a happy accident, made that first comic, it blew up and the rest is history! Finland is a very nice place to live

Spencer Schroeppel

Whats a question you want me to ask?

PersonaLegends

Is there a known net worth of Queen/her family/her source of income? If so, do you think she’d one day buy the world to try to get nerd?

JT

Are the characters Marvel fans or DC fans? Any of them have any favorite superheroes/comic characters?

Basic-Account

Does tiger play any sports?

Marko Raassina

They're all 18, not sure who is youngest-oldest. Might introduce more characters, I have some ideas but not entirely sure what their role will be. It's something which might take a while since there's lot of characters in the series already

Onaminiax

Do you think you'll dive into N&J's past? I think that'd be fun (Also love the comics, huge inspiration for me, keep doin what you do!)

Marko Raassina

It being my job

Marko Raassina

I've been thinking about it, but at the same time it would be kind of a hassle to try to run a server, mostly the moderating part...

Marko Raassina

Thank you very, very much for your support, all you guys make this possible!

Marko Raassina

Not sure, right now I want to keep her as an antogonist

The One True Moe

What was it that inspired your idea for the nerd and Jock comic series? Also what's it like in the land of Nokia phones?

Marko Raassina

It has already happened few times

Marko Raassina

I wonder...

Marko Raassina

You can go download it from Webtoons, from that episode

Marko Raassina

At one point, I had some talks about it but it's been on a backburner

Matthew Morrissey

Will Jock ever win a water fight?

Elster

Will Jock & Nerd-Comics stay so innocent or will Nerd & Tiger kiss? ;)

Marko Raassina

I feel that it's fine as it is, little bit naughty

Marko Raassina

Probably not, I like to keep the series separated

ABtheButterfly

Have you thought opening up a pateron chat so fans can talk or an official Nerd and Jock discord, if there is one can I have a link?

potterhsu

don't have any question and just wanna say, you're awesome, big fan of your comic, thank you for making such a wholesome comic for us!

Basic-Account

I’ve wondered about this too

Marko Raassina

Maybe one day!

Marko Raassina

There's a big Facebook page who uses my name, report it if you have an account

Sovereign16

Will Queen eventually join the Gang ?

Christopher Perez

What's the coolest part about being an artist?

Marko Raassina

In my secret stash

Marko Raassina

You mean Patreon stretch goals? I haven't seen that option in years, maybe they removed it. But in general, I guess i don't really have anything new in plans, been happy with what I've been doing right now. But there might be time in the future that I might shake things up in some way.

Marko Raassina

Not right now, but there's still time before October

Louis valdez

Do you have any ideas for the Halloween or horror themed comics for Jock and Nerd?

Zanso

Have any stretch goals moving forward? And is there anything you don't/wouldn't like to see in Fanart?

JT

The main characters are in college, what are their ages? (Oldest to youngest) Do you plan on introducing other, not main, but reappearing characters like Queen? Maybe a stereotypical cool guy?

Haasenater

Love that series too!

Haasenater

Interesting!

Novikous

Where did you hide the diamonds?

Star Lombax

In the last posts you mentioned someone who is stealing your content and impersonating you, could you give us more information about that? We can alert fans to report their pages.

Acob

Queen is Xarhuul?

Skelly

Interactions between the fusions if/when?

Woods

Webtoons

Xander64

Will you do more of my girlfriend is an orc warlord ?

Scott Maitland

Is there a way or place you recommend to read Nerd and Jock in order? I became a patron last month after enjoying some strips on Facebook, but I can tell there are storylines I've missed.

Expiredbread12

Do you ever plan on making a body swap story in any of your comics such as Nerd and Jock or My Girlfriend is an Orc Warlord?

nonogt

Have you ever considered making sexiest strip of the orc gf ?

Star Lombax

Have you thought about opening commissions? For example, people paying you to draw something they want or paying you to draw your characters the way people want?
