It's been a while. I don't really know what to say.
But it's time to get this show on the road.
Comic will update Mondays and Wednesdays.


Thank you to everyone who sent me fanart even when I wasn't updating.
Thank you to everyone who told me they enjoyed the comic even when I wasn't updating.
Thank you to everyone who still wants to give this comic another chance.
Thank you to everyone who waited for me while I took my really long break.
I wouldn't have made it this far without you all. Thank you so much and I mean it.

Now let's finish chapter 3. We've been here long enough!!

edit: 170 comments while I was gone?! that is way too much for me to handle

<3 Oh god i have been waiting for this forever!!...
<3

I'm not sure if this is the appropiate place to post this, but a while ago I wrote a review on "Todd Allison & the Petunia Violet". You can read it here: http://smackjeeves.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=434
I PM'd Nozmo and waited a week or something before posting the review on the SJ forums, but I never got a reply. Plus I was planning on leaving a comment about it on the actual Todd Allison & the Petunia Violet web-site as soon as Chapter 2 started (I wrote the review as soon as Chapter 1 ended), but it hasn't updated since. So...Here ya go!

This update is Jesus Christ. ON A FREAKIN' CRACKER. DUDE. THAT'S CRAZY.
I just spent the last two days rereading this comic. TWICE. And going to your DA profile, and trying to attempt your style because I love it ever so much, and saying, "godfreakindamnitWHEREARETHEUPDAAAAAAAAAATES?!"
So I'ma hug my laptop and serenade it with love songs and hope that, some how, that makes you update at a godlike speed. And if not, what the hell, I'll just gorge myself on cookies with raspberry centers until you do. <3 <3 <3

THANK YOUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!

<3<3<3<3<3

AND HERE I THOUGHT I WAS HAVING A BAD DAY

I'm serious--My day just went from suckish to fantastic in the time in took to click the link.

my life is now complete :D

i know everyone seems to be thinking right now but ME TOO. I WAS THINKING

And here i thought "wtf alternate updated..... someone must have died." *climax*

but no one has died im still waiting for some sort of world changing event to happen. this is amazing. now i have to rearead everythign because i totally forgot what happened.

Oh my gosh, thank you so much for coming back! I really like how your art is continually changing!

I DIED.
I am so happy to see you're back. Thanks for sticking around, even though it's been so long!

So, I am a very recent fan (as in, I started reading less than a week ago), so I wasn't waiting for however long you were gone, but. Yay for this comic!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHSLDFHSJDFHSKDHFSDHGKSHDGSDG

OMGCAKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOZMO-SAMA!!!!!!!
YOU'RE ALIVE!!!!!!!!
THERE IS A GOD!!!!!!
*expression of complete and utter joy*

And the first day of school is saved by Alternate finally updating. Thank you Nozmo.

SO CUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUTTTTTTTTTTTTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

SO GLAD YOU ARE BACK!!
So very, very glad *sniff*

...I feel stupid that I had to look up what C'est dommage meant.

AAAHHH!! <3 It's back! Sohappy. I have to read through this again. 8DD
And don't worry Arkadian Mouse.
I had to look it up too. XD

OMG I never thought I'd live to see the day! 0_0
Such a wonderful suprise!!

HOSHI~!YAY!! What are the chances that I randomly decide to check for an update today, when I've given up checking all summer, and YOU'VE UPDATED TODAY!!

*has a party//throws confetti*

Glad you're back!

Hey woah, you got better in your absence. Skilled.

Cool~ lol XD

awesome :D

LEIK OMG You have no idea how happy this update makes me. Just the other day I was lamenting the fact that Bailey and Camilo's darkroom episode got cut off at a crucial moment, so I am thrilled to know you will be updating again.
Paris is working his way up on my likeness chart. I still like Francis more, because he's just such a darned nice guy (with hairclips!) but Paris has his moments. I feel bad for Camilo though...

Wow, sorry for leaving such a long comment. Uhhh, I really love the comic...! D:

Thank you so much. I've just had a heart attack from happiness.

* joins the ungodly chorus * YAY I've missed this comic! ^w^

You're Back! Squeeeeee!

yarrrrr alive!!!! 8D god i'm happy!

yum i liek francis and paris 8) my friend's say that french is a sexay language and they always want me to talk it <3

..... IT just occurred to me that Ruby and Moe cross-dress a lot.

This is a lovely comic. Fabulous.
You're a genius. CRAZY genius with a twisted sense of humour that I absolutely love. YARGHH<3

*throws a great amount of somewhat creepy love at you*

YOU'RE ALIIIIVE!! When I saw you updated, I literally squealed in delight.

Yaaaaay! I'm so glad you're back, Nozmo!

NOZMO I FREAKIN LOVE YOU. KEEP UPDATING MAN, OR I'LL STEAL BASIL AND LOCK HIM UP IN MY CLOSET AND DO BAD THINGS TO HIM. Like seriously...your last update was what...9 months ago? o3o SOME LADY COULD HAVE GONE THROUGH AN ENTIRE PREGNANCY IN THAT TIME.
Camilo's face in this = pure win.

Yayy~!
your back!
i've been waiting~
:3

AHAHAHAH I READ THROUGH IT AGAIN.
I FORGOT THEY WERE TRAPPED IN THE DARK ROOM.
LOLOL YAY.
Ilaughedwhilereadingallofthis. This comic is amaziiiing. <3

My reaction to this happening was verbal keyboard mash... with far less in the consonant department.
I only do that for things that are INMEASUREABLY AWESOME.

It's been a while so I kinda only vaguely remember what's going on. ): TIME TO REREAD.

EDIT: Also, GLORIOUS UPDATE.

YAYAYAYAYAYAYAY IT'S BAAAACK. HARK! WHAT A DELIGHTFUL HAPPENING.

There are not enough exclamation points in my keyboard to express how exclaimy I feel. Oh, Alternate! Oh, Nozmo! ILU both, welcome back! <3 <3 <3

*headdesk* Ha. I just got the whole pun/name thing with Paris and Francis... Paris... France... Ehh.. I feel like an idiot now..^^;
