A little commentary after the jump. Read it faggots.
I assume you’re all familiar with the “Choose Your Own Adventure” series of books that were all the rage a decade or so ago. If you’re not, the concept is simple: the book isn’t read in order, but instead at the end of each page, you have a number of choices that would direct you to different pages - and a different outcome.
What I’m trying to do here is the same thing, except you too can take a role in the creative process! Pick a choice every time a new comic is finished, and I’ll try to take the idea that’s most popular and run with it. I have as much idea about where the story is going as you do, so I think this will be a fun little exercise. Well, maybe not so little. Even though it’s the poll that will ultimately decide where the story goes next, if you have an interesting idea, do post a comment and tell me about it. If it’s good, and your choice wins, your idea will be immortalised as part of the Trap Impz Saga.
I’m using Impz here because I am boring and unoriginal, but with your input, who knows where the story will go?
By the way, this first choice is completely artificial, since I already know what the next strip is going to be. I gotta introduce some other characters you know, otherwise the story could end up stuck on an eternal Impz monologue.
This is also a way to test the waters, so to speak. This is a lot of work for me; this one strip took me 3 hours (I’m still experimenting with the format, and hopefully as I get better with my tablet that time will become much shorter). So if you like it and want to see where it can go from here, leave a comment, and pick a choice! Without your support, this project won’t work, and I’ll have to abort it.
Finally, a little about the drawing(s). I copy-pasta’d the comic, so that saved me a bit of time. Hopefully in the future I can do it all freehand. As for the illustration, I’m still not satisfied with Trimpz’s design. Trimpz is, in my mind, much younger than this. Maybe 6-8 (he’s supposed to be a loli-trap, remember), and the proportion in this illustration makes him look like a middle schooler. Oh well, guess I will just have to keep working at it.

Actually, this is fine.
Is it wrong to ogle at myself?
Though stop MAKING ME A TRAP. I look nothing like a trap! ..My voice …is another matter.
Impz added these pithy words on Mar 11 08 at 11:11 amAt the time of my posting this comment, the sidebar poll is about that batshit girl Noe. And, I might add, it’s complete bullshit that Noe x Jun is not leading it.
Anyway, Magitech, if it’s at all related to the FF6 Magitech.
Otherwise, other: drills.
lolikit added these pithy words on Mar 11 08 at 6:14 pmI’m going for Other: Unhealthily Close Relationship With Mother. What can I say? I like my so-called psychological realism.
[Apologies to Impz . . . Lupus has your permission, right? . . . Right?]
IKnight added these pithy words on Mar 11 08 at 6:23 pmAnd thus we discovered another side-effect of GN Particles…
Argh! Someone invent them already!!!
Gravmech added these pithy words on Mar 11 08 at 6:25 pmI too vote for GN Particles, for the lulz. They seem to do everything else.
Amuro1X added these pithy words on Mar 11 08 at 6:28 pm@Hinano: I’ll do some Impz x Mako-chan Trap Yaoi. :-p
LovelyLolicon Extrange added these pithy words on Mar 11 08 at 6:55 pmBTW, Impz wasn’t transformed into a trap (he ain’t no Hashimashi). He was born as a trap, those are the better quality ones.
LovelyLolicon Extrange added these pithy words on Mar 11 08 at 6:56 pmOh I want “broken by Kana” but magitech is fine too.
@Impz
The internet has spoken there is no changing your blog persona.
@lolkit
Problem fixed, now swing that purse like you mean it. Noe is Moe. Sieg Noe.
@Hinano
Please go wild. I for one welcome the inevitability of Lupus and Impz fanart. Just leave the rest of us out of it… XD
I vote ‘broken by a Minami sister’.
…What? Why are you guys giving me strange looks?
Myssa Rei added these pithy words on Mar 11 08 at 7:00 pm@Myssa Rei: Minami sisters do that…it’s in their blood.
LovelyLolicon Extrange added these pithy words on Mar 11 08 at 7:03 pm> I vote ‘broken by a Minami sister’
haha agree with that
ron~ added these pithy words on Mar 11 08 at 7:28 pmWill there be counseling offered for those who fall in love with this moe trap?
DS added these pithy words on Mar 11 08 at 7:41 pmImpz is moe? LOL
Momotsuki added these pithy words on Mar 11 08 at 7:44 pmImpz fan art is nice and good, so long as you do not pull a Lupus and draw me in as a rake… Although Crusader is right, so as long as Impz is a trap, I’m a rake…
RDrake added these pithy words on Mar 11 08 at 7:48 pmYou just want to draw an Impz panty-shot. Admit it…
Not to mention a *bounce* intensive beach scene…the hot springs scene…the “I accidentally walked in on you changing” scene…*mumble mumble*
I do like the idea you’ve got going here though, already looking forward to the next one.
rieuzedx added these pithy words on Mar 11 08 at 7:56 pmThe foul taint of Chaos has tainted impz beyond compare, turning him into a trap.
The Inquisition demands clearance to go after the foul mutant and purge him.
DrmChsr0 added these pithy words on Mar 11 08 at 7:57 pmOther = alien abduction.
CatzCradle added these pithy words on Mar 11 08 at 8:06 pmBD…….
I’ll do it tomorrow on my tegaki if I don’t forget.
Fear not, I’m only drawing the trap-chan, I don’t plan to do any yaoi..(yet) BD
“You just want to draw an Impz panty-shot. Admit it…”
There’s really something disturbing about this statement. :O
But Lupus, that comic is cute! Impz, you should be proud your internet persona looks so cute. 
The art of war, huh?

C) Magitech;
Impzie is a girl, right?
rollchan added these pithy words on Mar 11 08 at 10:57 pmVoted Magitech.
This comic needs a henshin sequence in the future.
Crisu added these pithy words on Mar 11 08 at 11:14 pmdefinitely broken by some Minami sister.
juu added these pithy words on Mar 11 08 at 11:44 pmI chose other as Impz would have been transformed into a loli character so that an anime series can be made after him (or it?) Then a loli impz doll will come out and Crusader can announce a new commander, the 6th commander of his fleet. The loli Impz fleet.
Gah that was really long winded.
Cherubium added these pithy words on Mar 12 08 at 2:15 amEverybody’s g…uhh… for Impz, all over again?
Nazi science sneers at gender! (Joke line (or variation…) from Irregular Webcomic! Not serious here about real Nazi or anything…)
Ah well…science it is…
[Blademaster] added these pithy words on Mar 12 08 at 6:07 am“By the way, this first choice is completely artificial”—I noticed this before I made my comment, but it’s kinda funny that so many people are actually throwing input at this one.
Also, Drm—sometimes, repetition can be a strong rhetorical device. And sometimes, it can just fail. The foul taint tainted something to become foul? You sir rock at sucking.
lolikit added these pithy words on Mar 12 08 at 6:19 amOther: A twisted sense of narcissism made him that way. His statement in the comic is a main indicator here. 
I really love this idea, BTW.
This is unacceptable! Impz is 25 not 24! (lol) I have to admit, that trappy-impzie is a knock-out. I go for Others-lack of fufff!
ThirteenSugars added these pithy words on Mar 12 08 at 1:44 pm@Calawain
But he’s our whor…err Impz. I wonder if Impz is ever going to cosplay himself…
I DID IT GUYS!

My first IMPZ fanart!! xD
Hinano added these pithy words on Mar 12 08 at 8:21 pm@Hinano
Awww Impz looks sad…wish you added some snow. 
-_- now why am I looking sad. Meh, this is going from bad to worse. I AM ALWAYS HAPPY!
Impz added these pithy words on Mar 12 08 at 8:52 pmThis is not right. Poor Trappy-tan. Impz, I’ll try to give you an honorable method.
While strolling in China, Impz was ambushed and pushed into the cursed spring by the Shadaloo stooges. How did Impz survive that beating is a mystery. Even I don’t know. Somehow, it was the cursed spring of the cute girl. XP
Those Shadaloo soldiers!
Bata-kun added these pithy words on Mar 12 08 at 9:25 pmAck! Meant to say, “trap”. Bleh! Wow. I must be on some high sake. I don’t know.
Bata-kun added these pithy words on Mar 12 08 at 9:42 pm@bata-kun
a cursed spring? hahaha. turning IMPZ into another ranma? (roflmao)
@hinano
your fanart IMPZIE looks so cute only that she doesn’t really look sad, she looks as though she’s holding in something under her breath, holding down her hair.
though there may be other possible reasons, i went for magitech 
I voted other:
Me and Impz were “playing” doctors and nurses and I just followed the textbook for plastic surgery.
mellow_bunny added these pithy words on Mar 13 08 at 2:47 amVote Other: Sixten wanted to see it desu~
thenightsshadow added these pithy words on Mar 13 08 at 1:29 pmHaha…. nice one LUPUS. Love the comic by the way. it actually makes sense. and it is also true that IMPZ is special in the way that he has a very unique voice…..
aznchocoholic added these pithy words on Mar 13 08 at 6:35 pmWHAT SCIENCE DONE
… yeah, you can probably guess how I voted.
DKellis added these pithy words on Mar 14 08 at 3:32 amYesss…. Definitely broken by a Minami sister… she removed his armor but it was Impz who walked the path on his own… Manly clothes can no longer conceal his wild trappiness
KaeBoo
Yup, another Ranma. Ha ha ha!
“Hey! Japan! I got a new series for you! ‘Impz 1/2′!”
Right.
Mellow_bunny
Evil. Ho ho ho! That’s all I can say.
Bata-kun added these pithy words on Mar 15 08 at 1:51 amYay! More Trimpz comics! The art looks really good, Impzie looks so cute. I vote for “Broken by a Minami sister”!
spring_rain added these pithy words on Mar 17 08 at 2:55 pmimpz was turned into the trap when his blog was first launched and he had friends/ex-writers who gave him plentiful of nicknames, and amongst which, trap.
And thus with the help of his random, friendly and lovable friends, he acquired a brand new identity that he is still embracing today.
Be thankful jannifer.
