 Working with the witty and incredibly prolific folks at Tv Tropes (www.tvtropes.org) I took a new trope every week and illustrated the hell out of it. I got to play with just about everything in just about all media, so it gave me a pretty vast amount of content to work with. It's also got some of my best art, so sit a spell and take a look!  Comics Library >>  That's a rough one to wash a meal down with. While I applaud the fortune-teller, perhaps it's just not the right sort of fortune to drop on someone after some Chow mein.  Today we peek in on a little scene of domestic bliss featuring two of G.I. Joe's least favorite people. Which is a shame, because they are awesome at dinner parties and quite the Pictionary team. I imagine anyway. Also, I totally want that faucet.  Perhaps it's for the best we couldn't hear Artax in the movie, the scene was definitely traumatizing enough. Also, there's a giant spider made of poisonous wasps(!) in the book but it never made it into the movie due to financial considerations. I mean, I'm sure it wouldn't have looked as good as it does in my head, but how awesome does that sound? Answer: Amazingly awesome.  I've had roommates like the Hulk. Fortunatley, none of them could pick up the fridge and throw it at me if I complained about their blatant misuse of my foodstuffs. Well, most of them.  The Star Wars universe definitely needs more political cartoonists in it. I mean, the blockade of Naboo alone would provide months of material to be mined for scathing humour and comforting sanctimony. Plus we'd see some pretty great caricatures of Count Dooku, I bet.  Cacodemons; who doesn't love those angry, floating, one-eyed, demonic pieces of overripe fruit? Well, except for Doom-guy, but he's a little prejudiced when it comes to demons so we should probably take his input with a grain of salt. Today's comic is cacodemon-centric, and delves a little deeper into their hidden lives. Let's take a closer look, shall we?  If this strip was an after-school special, no doubt the lesson at the end would be "Families come in all shapes and sizes". There'd probably be some lecturing about "Being yourself" and "Just Saying No" as well. With a special appearance by Gary Gygax as a gruff but caring old lich.  10 points for Harry's puberty! I mean, all things being equal, I imagine Sytherin girls would be the most fun, just you probably wouldn't want to marry one. Certainly, Ravenclaw girls ended up being no good bust and Hufflepuff girls were probably a pain in the butt if you wanted to get anywhere on time.  This seems like the sort of thing that would bring the ASPCA down on your ragtag group of adventurers pretty fast. I mean, you don't bring a pony halfway across the U.S. and just send it on home with a carrot and a handfull of sugarcubes when can't be arsed to take proper care of it anymore. I'm very disappointed, Aragorn...  I'm just glad my crested geckos never ate any of the neighborhood kids when they got out of their terrarium, that one time. I mean, I'll pay for a broken window or a new mailbox if things got vandal-rrific, but picking through lizard poo for skeletal bits is where I draw the line.  When your powers are activated by speech, you really have to be careful about scheduling those annual dentist visits. And getting too drunk, I imagine. I do love the thought of Prince Adam and Man-At-Arms, trashed after a night on the town, running into Beast Man and Mer-man at a local bar. I don't know why that was never an episode, it seems like it would have been pure gold!
 These dogs do not approve. And can you blame them? This comic led to some pretty heated discussions about vents on Death Stars and how they can't be covered, but I'd like to think a laser grill or some other such technical nonsense would of done the job just fine. The dangers of going with the lowest bidder, I assume...  Big day for our friend! Not shown: Happy wife, new baby, plans for retirement and his new boat.  The dangers of bargain hunting. He really should have gone with the Skrockets...  Poor t-rex… poor velociraptors… Though I do feel better about getting “Dinosaur Tamer” when I took that job placement test back in High School. I thought my guidance counselor was making it up, yet apparently it’s legit. p.s. spellcheck wants to change velociraptors to velocipedes, which is almost cool enough to let it. Comics Library >> |
