Based on/ripped-off from an idea put forward by CommanderJake. Muchos creditos to him.
*Indy's opinion, not mine. So huh, Indy's a noob.
I have another one in progress now, but apparently Jar-Jar minifigs are one of those things that turn up when you don't need tham, then disappear when you do.
Comments, construtive criticism and, hell, even complaints are welcome!
I was going to say, why did you use grainy photos for the Nazi (I mean generic bad guy) comic, then I realised why!
Ha! "I'll call continuity"! Nice.
Especially when you consider that it may be another entry for your contest.
Well, I didn't actually find out about the LOTSOFINITIALS Contest until after I made most of these, but I guess I could enter. How many entries are we allowed?
Post all of them in your own thread, find out the funniest from others, and then post that in the thread?
Hmm, over a week since the last post, relevant contribution to thread... I'd say that justifies the double-post/self-bump!
Worthwhile annotation: Of course referring to the events of the 2007 Rugby World Cup final.
This is based on a classic 'Peanuts' strip, published after the 1962 Baseball World Series final. The San Francisco Giants and New York Yankees were tied at 3-3. In the bottom of the 9th, with the Yankees leading 1-0, the Giants had two outs, a runner on third and Willie Mays representing the winning run on second base. Willie McCovey strode to the plate to try to bring the series home for San Francisco.
Over his head, but not over his glove. He snatched the catch, ending the game, and securing a 4-3 series win for the Yankees.
Schulz, being a dedicated Giants fan, was devastated. So much so that he drew a Peanuts strip in response. Charlie Brown and Linus are sitting on a pavement, heads morosely drooped, saying nothing for three panels. In the last panel, Charlie Brown yells, "Why couldn't McCovey have hit the ball three feet higher?"
The follow-up to the aformentioned Peanuts strip went along the same lines, but in the last panel Charlie Brown says "Why couldn't McCovey have hit the ball just two feet higher?"
You can see my inspiration.
Perhaps a dotted line around the bubble would make it look better? Smaller font just makes it look like you forgot the font size number of last bubble you typed.
Although it's a good idea, manually putting a dotted line around the bubble would look messy (well, it would if I did it!). It's the same reason you get coloured balloons instead of the standard outlined bubble.
R_s, when did you get dumber?
and I'm not R_s anymore.
The repulsorlift one really tickled me! I didn't quite like the Indy ones, perhaps because there was only one source photo to use. Anyway, really nice work!
Time to do a little shameless plugging of my own! I never thought I'd have the attention span or patience to successfully edit a comic together, but there we go!
Yeah you are. I don't give a crap what your handle is, you're still R_s.
Man, you're like a friend of mine in middle school who decided we should all call him Stifler (he'd just seen American Pie). Totally stupid.
Especially the Indy one. I love comics when they have some sort of connection with another.
Don't come at us with that rubbish. You would never have had it as your name if you didn't like.
Hey, can we stop bashing Kaiba? So what if he changed his name, that doesn't matter!
Some very funny comics, TJN, good stuff!
My favourite is the continuity one - that little sticker/photo of the previous panel on the camera is ace!
