Man, I always forget when the last time was that I checked megatokyo, so then I have to stumble around the archive a little bit.

I wonder if any of the girls have gotten naked, yet. Like, I know he's drawn them naked elsewhere (thanks to a 4chan SPECIAL INVESTIGATIVE TEAM) but I mean in the comic proper. It's at that point that I think some cosmic machine will be switched on and a new age of darkness and shadow will begin.

Moment of plot progression: Piro wakes up with the voice actress girl asleep on his chest. http://megatokyo.com/strips/0984.gif

Immediately followed by a stick figure Dom day. http://megatokyo.com/strips/0985.gif

Immediately followed by a "lol my wife wants me to draw a comic for her silly feminist mumblings" day. http://megatokyo.com/strips/0986.gif

At one point, Largo's girl is in her underwear, because Largo insists that clothes must be off in order to build computers. Largo and model girl make out at one point but then an unspecified awkward thing happened and they did not progress past that point.

The girls are now openly portrayed as having habitual amounts of sexual experience, though neither of them have gone all the way with Piro or Largo yet.

The last month has been garbage fucking bullshit non-story which has nothing to do with the meandering plot, and is illustrated by some other artist. Piro is currently on a world-tour vacation, and can't be arsed to do anything.

Around April or so, he did an alternate reality side story where Piroko is a secret service agent infiltrating a teenaged-girl sex-slave trade ring. Like, everyone here just sit around and imagine yourself as a girl version of yourself who is infiltrating a sex-slavery syndicate, and you'll have an idea of what Piro thinks about.

As Rud13 put it:
    Rud13: man, yuri fanfiction about his own god damn universe
    you go Piro
    how low can you go

I have a Pandora's Box level of curiosity regarding those LOLNAKED drawings. Are they the dorky pseudo-tactful semi-artistic overly-posed things that I imagine them to be?

Ugh. I probably don't really want to know.

Captain Caveman & Predator Goose:
Piro is on vacation. The last month of the comic was drawn by someone else. The stuff you've seen has nothing to do with the actual "plot." What you are seeing is not an accurate depiction of the "comic."

It is, however, an accurate depiction of how poorly the thing is managed. Think of Piro as the American equivalent of a Densha Otoko: Nerdy sumbitch who wins success and popularity by erratically pencil-drawing a mediocre webcomic based off of his daydream of moving to Japan and hooking up with a voice actress. He VERY VERY FREQUENTLY cannot manage to draw the strips on time, so he'll usually put up shitty stick figures drawn with a trackball, unrelated scribbles, or wife-indulgent strips to satisfy her desire to say something (anything).

Is it just me or are the 'roughs' better than the 'final'?

Just you.

Also I think the last month has been an utter waste of time, worse than just saying "Gone for now, be back later" and not updating at all.

But yeah, everybody has different opinions.

Fair enough? Still a difference of opinion, though.

In its "intended" form, I find it interesting enough to check up on every 3 to 6 months. If it were like the current guest arc all the time, then I would never return.

Yep.

I really can't bring myself to hate Fred Gallagher, though he makes it very easy and tempting to do so. I suppose it is harder to hate someone's work whenever they do such a poor job of actually getting it out there.

Exactly. Any trash talk that I might have for the guy is not hatred in any way. It's a minor marvel that he has found so much success with, uh, so little talent. Goes back to my "American equivalent of Densha Otoko" assessment.
