More Nick Sketches
Shaenon: Is this truly the end of me drawing Princess Nick? I’ve got to go cry somewhere.
Channing: People seem to like Princess Nick. I worry that “Creepy Water-Cooler Girl” will be viewed as a poor substitute.

Bubbles is awesome and is not a poor substitute for anything.
That is such a cute name!
New character on Adventure Time: Water Cooler Princess!
No, I have a feeling you’ll be drawing a LOT more of Princess Nick when you do the Kickstarter for the next book. I know that’s who I’m going to request.
Princess Nick will be welcome. Who worries me is Creepy V/STOL “Flying is my only joy” Girl.
Bubbles is currently (to me at least) a close second in terms of adorableness. First place goes to the cobras, obviously. Then it’s bubbles, then it’s Gussie.
Actually, I really want to see Bubbles hanging out with the cobras. I get the feeling they’d get on well together.
Iiii have to admit I find Creepy Water Cooler Girl to be one-note and, well, creepy.
‘Creepy Water Cooler Girl’….. hmmm; am I the only one who thinks of her as ‘Joy’? It’s definitely better than calling her ‘Service’…..
Jeff, Bubbles will never be as awesome as Princess Nick, but she’s not creepy, she’s inspiring.

Service is my only joy
Service is my only joy
Service is my only joy
Serrr-vice is my only joy
For Moustachio, I’m collating
Service is my only joy
Now it’s Tip that I’m hydrating
Service is my only joy
Once I was an immobile machine
Now I’m moving, and hot damn! it’s keen
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh
Service is my only joy
Service is my only joy
Service is my only joy
Serrr-vice is my only joy
Oh, and Shaenon, Princess Nick may very well be your greatest creation (which is saying a lot), and I don’t even have words for how wonderful those bottom three drawings are. Nick and Baron Mistycorn leaping need to be the next wallpaper. Or a poster.
My Kandy Kluge is Shannon’s greatest creation, Thank you very much. But Bubbles is amazing and despite being visually similar is very much their own person. it’s apples and oranges really’ you just have to remember that apples and oranges are both seeded tree fruits commonly used to make juice.
Now that i think of it, i have never seen how apple juice is extracted.
Oh, it isn’t pretty… You CRUSH! them.
I prefer to think of it as “Swingin’ Willie”, from The Bryan Setzer Orchestra’s album, Wolfgang’s Big Night Out ^_^
I prefer Princess Nick to Bubbles, but it seems that ‘ship has sailed…
This isn’t a comment on the sketches, but given that the upcoming plotline seems like it’ll focus on dead rights, please-please-please could you incorporate this guy: http://www.cnn.com/2013/10/09/us/ohio-legally-dead-man/index.html
Please?! (I’ll feed him and take him on walkies! Pleeeeaaasse?!)

Princess and unicorn
Appear in a Sunday sketch!
He’ll twirl and sparkle meekly,
And then he’ll swear obliquely!
If he’s free,
He’ll hang with Lee
And the secret film he’ll fetch …
A princess flipping birds is
Absurdist!
Though his manner’s rough
He is cute enough
To make all the readers swoon!
Like a lovely thing,
He will dance and sing
To an AC/DC tune …
We’re not sure,
To call him “pure”
Is a rather distant stretch,
But princess and unicorn
Appear in a Sunday sketch!
XDDDDDD
Princess Nick was amazing. I will miss him/her…it?
It’s him, Nick is still a guy even if he doesn’t have fun parts now that he is a helicopter seriously, a young VTL Prototype gets nostalgic for being humanoid and decides to experiment a little What’s the big deal?
Although it could also be an “it” — he talked about “driving the drone”, so he could have considered it somewhere between an appliance and a limb.
Nick in the drone was certainly fun and it might be nice to see more of him, but Bubbles is a lot of fun to watch as well. The sheer amount of, well, joy that she puts into helping is both adorable and admirable.
Flat Whats are ALWAYS hilarious.
Nick cheerily flipping the bird gives me a very non-Nick vibe.
Nick crouched in the hoodie reminds me adorably of Unity.
While Bubbles in the drone is cute, if this is the last we see of Nick driving the drone I’ll be sad.
