It seems as if we are missing the strip where Jonny opens the bookshelf and they enter the room.
I’ve added it in, thanks! You should see it now.
It’s nice to see this comic back to updating! 🙂
It’ll be another couple weeks before I start uploading new material, but I’m hoping to keep it going for a long while, this time!
Wow, this is great stuff! You should set this up on Patreon or something… Is there going to be an actual book at some point?
I hope so! I started this comic originally in 2004– and I haven’t really updated it in almost 5 years. I’m currently writing the last 40 pages of the story and I hope to be updating regularly again in another couple weeks. Once I’ve got the whole thing laid out and written, I want to start looking around for a publisher.
Thanks for commenting!
Waouh !
I just checked Jonny once a month as usual for 6 years and…
You’ve done it ! You’re back !
I hope this time, you will end it.
Thanks for the now old fans..

I’ve got the script for the rest of the story done, I’ve got layouts for the next 20 pages done, and as soon as I get the rest of chapter 3 all drawn and ready to post, I’ll start uploading again! I want to build up a little bit of buffer before I get going.
Hi Les,
I’ve done an up to date french translation with your new bigger stips and a new font
The point is about the 5 poem parts
Refering your page 81 strip 1, with the new sentences, I shared it that way
part 3 on page 11 (easier for french lettering than page 12)
part 4 on page 12
part 5 on page 29
part 2 on page 39
part 1 on page 81
so we could read on page 81 stip1 : 1 and then 2, 3, 4 and 5
with your existing drawing
(I miss the fifth new sentence you never send)
Tell me if you agree or not ?
Thanks a lot
Friendly

I’ve actually rewritten the whole poem again, so I’ll be changing it in the archives when I start updating again. I’m building up a large backlog of comics before I start posting them, but I hope to start them up shortly.
I’m having a little trouble understanding your message about page 81– I haven’t reposted it because I wasn’t happy with it and I’ve redrawn it. The new page 81 will be the first new comics to go up when I start updating again.
Hello,
Having read all of the Tintin books, I recognized many of the references, and I have of course a good idea of where that treasure lies.
Great adventure and great art.
Les,
Could you tell me what means
“Verily froth the gormy ives” on page 46 ?
I don’t find anything about it.
Thanks a lot

It’s just nonsense verse. It doesn’t mean anything (and I don’t think “gormy” or “ives” are even real words.)
I’ve just finished binging on the whole archive and I have to say I’m really impressed! The story is great, the art is amazing… can’t wait for more. I’m especially impressed with Gretchen. It’s so nice to see a leading lady who wears low shoes and ties back her hair to go adventuring!
Thanks! I’ve got several more pages drawn but I want to have through the end of chapter 3 done before I start updating again– I want to have a good supply of comics ready to go so I don’t have to have any more long breaks!
Wonderful to see activity on this great series again! Looking forward to more!
Finally finished it! What a great comic! It went offline before I got a chance to finish it before, so I’m glad I go caught up.
Hopefully you are planning on continuing with the story and setting a Patreon.
Hi Les, glad to see the site is being updated again! Good luck on continuing!
Peek a boo, Les
Are you coming back soon ?
We miss you… euh… no, we miss Jonny !
Things are going a little slower than I’d hoped, but I’m still working on it! http://jonnycrossbones.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Screen-Shot-2015-10-30-at-12.10.22-PM-1024×731.jpg
Happy new year!
