"DTmIRC... the comic that almost made it, but didn't. It was a huge turning point in my life, or rather, it was the chronicle of the changes around me. If I could go back and do it again... I probably wouldn't put Stryke in it." - Greg Johnson

DTmIRC was a comic that began a few months after CHIBI ended, and ran for about a year. 185 of them were made, but are now Lost to all of Space and Time. Unless Spirit still has them, in which case they're not. The comics were more adult in nature than CHIBI, though the author's childishness still shined painfully through. Due to the comic's nature of being the Dragon Tails chatroom in comic form, its run was filled with dramatics caused by Slink's attempts to give everyone at least some screen time, while also keeping it from jumping around too much by focusing more on a primary cast.

Story

Guys vs Girls

The first plotline in DTmIRC had the guys face off against the girls. Oddly, there wasn't much actual fighting. The guys were fighting for pr0n, and the girls were fighting for not-pr0n. Or something. It was really silly and kind of stupid. Officially, the girls one, but the guys managed to change around their new laws in order to maintain their pr0ny, pr0ny day.

The Toga Party

Everyone's invited to a Toga Party! Somebody manages to spike the punch, and Slink feels the effects by going blind somehow, missing the girls giggling and possibly doing pr0ny things. They were actually doing something else, though I don't really remember what. Makeup? Tying someone up? Both? Psyko was probably the victim.

Gender Swap AKA "Slink is a girl and a dragon and also pregnant?!"

Oye. Slink plays around in Dragonoid form, and gets zapped by Evion's Gender-change-ray. Thus, he becomes a girl. Since Dragonoid Slink doesn't wear clothes, things got very interesting artistically. Censoring was done by simply leaving out the parts that'd raise the comic to an R rating. Somehow, Slink woke up one morning to find that he, er, she had slept for long enough to suddenly be in the third trimester of pregnancy. Talk about being a heavy sleeper. The comic continued this whole deal about who the father was, citing five possible candidates! The author was too naive at the time to realize what the implications of that was. Slink ended up having five babies, making them all the father. He then fell through the floor and realized it was all a dream.

Goodbye

Devastated that he was suddenly not a mother anymore, Slink realized that the world he was in was far too complicated and cruel (or maybe he was just bored), and decided the best thing for him would be returning to the Real World. He left a note, which was found too late for anybody to stop him, and he then opened a portal. In a very colorful, 5 page long comic that was really awesome for its time (Hope nobody challenges the bias of this wiki entry!), Stryke appeared, begging him not to leave. The Locker Demon then made his way into the DTmIRC world and attempted to strangle her. Slink unleashed the White dragon form (See: Slink) and used his Holy Ray attack to beat back the demon. Stryke and Slink then kissed, starting a brand new relationship. Slink decided to stay after all.

Mab's return?

Mab appears from a portal, and introduces herself. Slink doesn't seem to recognize her, but being his usual friendly self decides to escort her around. Soon, the Locker Demon appears and manages to unlock a small part of Slink's memory, which made him turn on Mab and attempt to take her out. During this, he lost the white form and became red again. Psyko stopped him with a tranquilizer, and Rynn attempted to erase Slink's memory again. It didn't hold, though, as a little while later Slink turned into a full size dragon for the first time and horrible memories came flooding back. Rynn helped him decide to avoid the full dragon form from then on. Mab left, realizing that even with Rynn's help, Slink could never fully forget.

The Krine adventures by Krine!

A short segment of comics written by Krine, starring Krine. He imagined himself totally being able to beat up a dragon, made a peanut butter sandwich, and beat everyone in Tetris. That last part isn't canon, though.

Colosseum Battles

Everyone was invited to compete in various events! The contests ranged from one on one battles to having the best insult. In the end, Slink's turn had finally come when the benefactor of the event showed himself... herself. Rema, the Locker Demon's non-canon sister, had set the entire thing up to get to Slink, who she had watched as he battled the Locker Demon in Beyond Lunch, and saw his adventures in Pearl's RP Adventure and CHIBI. This officially made those stories semi-canon. She had fallen in love with how he never gave up, and kept believing in his friends, and various other cliche mushy stuff. She decided to make him hers by injuring him, cursing the wounds to slowly begin eating away at his free will until he saw only Rema. This wasn't all obvious at the time, though.

Anti-universe staring Psyko!

Psyko accidentally presses the button on the Dimensional Flux and finds himself in a universe where everyone has opposite personalities! Slink is bald and wise, Krine is childish and uses no grammar, Spirit is mean, Yoiko is anything but innocent, Evion IS innocent, Bladewing was also mean, and Neo was gay or something! Kudos to anyone who understood or remembers the last sentence. Psyko broke the Dimensional Flux, so he sought out to find the one that surely existed in this world. Unfortunately, he was forced into slave labor and had his life threatened twice before he managed to find it.

The past revealed

Slink wakes up from a nightmare, and realizes he has to seek out Rema, who had disappeared for some reason.
