I’d like to think every webcomic artist cherishes that one moment where they think to themselves for the first time,”Great Muffin of Fridgeland, if I ever get fanart it better be of this.” I’d like to think that that moment is what truly makes me a webcomic artist today.
The thing I like about comics like this is the face people get when you approach them about how they know more about how to rape people than the rapist character. They’re usually priceless.
The thing I hate about comics like this is how much they increase the likelihood of me finding Rule 34 of my creations somewhere down the line. I’m sure my face would be priceless then too.
I didn’t mention this with the last update, but I have plenty of problems drawing real life people in Fruit form. They don’t seem as out of place as other fictional characters, but at least my hastily drawn Sonic and Mario doodles are recognizable, whereas real people tend to be oversimplified into indistinguishable stick figure upgrades. Fruitifying things tends to do that. If only everyone were as easy to draw as myself. Cartoon me has gotten a lot of mileage through my pencil, so I’m basically the only person I’m confident in replicating.
At the very least you get to enjoy your favorite childhood hero. Oh wait, this isn’t Thomas the Tank Engine. Never mind, just enjoy Blue’s Clues for now.
You know, as nerds, we all know the several debates and discussions surrounding Star Wars. It’s in our blood. Our nerd blood. When it came to the prequel trilogies everyone took the blame. Palpatine was the villain. Anakin was the whiny kid who let himself get tricked. Padme was the girl who wasn’t making a sandwich. I’ve heard them all. I’m very disappointed though at the lack of people blaming the Jedi for their downfall, because in all honestly, the Jedi were a bunch of pricks. Just look at their history over the course of the trilogy.
“Alright, every Sith is dead, the entire universe is nothing but Light. Logically, that means the Force is balanced.”
“What do we need a chosen one for? We’ve got a perfect universe. The Sith are extinct anyways.”
“The Sith killed one of our own! We must prepare the chosen one for their rise into power!”
“This chosen one sure is getting a bit hard to control. We better be suspicious of everything he does and strip him of his rights and dignity to keep a close eye on him.”
“The Sith have corrupted our chosen one with that evil extremist philosophy. Only a Sith would be that evil. Death to all Sith. Only a Sith would deal with such absolutes.”
“Oooh, I’m dead.”
The defenders of the galaxy folks. And there’s my nerd rage of the day.
There, I got myself out of the slump. Does that happy you?
In all seriousness though, I got about halfway through this comic before realizing I wasn’t even sure what the punchline was. I guess I let myself get a little rusty. I is sowwy everyone. At least you got to see your adorable little misfits again.
As if some sort of sign that I really should get back to real comics my computer crapped out on me today and decided to ignore both my pantieshop and tablet settings at the same time. Well it was fun while it lasted but I need to get back to business. Enjoy real comics from me real soon.
Sorry folks, but we get another quick artsy comic today. I hope you don’t mind, especially since this time is mostly an excuse not to work, but I really need the break right now, and you owe me! Just enjoy the next few days as we get the bleak little happy image of rain and sad little umbrella me. Isn’t that cute enough to justify no updates? I think so.
I felt like being artsy today. It’s just real fun to do these sketchy designs. They’re fun to draw and there’s less editing to do in the end. Unfortunately they can also be time consuming and tend to make me run out of creativity faster. Still, today calls for a nice rainy day mood comic, so enjoy my little poetic fling.
