Discuss today's comic: The Saga Continues

[TheGreatElBobo]

Just popping in to say I really liked your TMNT games parody strip.

...Sorry that was so short.

[Youindia]

I can now say that I've battled on Tart Top thirty-four times in one sitting.

...can somebody unbend my hands? I think they're stuck.

Hey I'm just glad someone liked it... doesn't matter how short your post is. It was kind of funny doing that strip... I hadn't drawn the old TMNT since I was like 13 years old. Just for the record... the Ubisoft TMNT game is based on the upcoming CGI movie... but that wouldn't have made a very funny comic.

[Giby]

Yeah, that TMNT comic was good. Everyone I linked to it loved it.

I want to see how this Tori and Moru thing will end up.

And 6 nippled Cheetara = a nerds fantasy.

[Shiroi Kaze]

Yo Giby. Sorry I haven't been around snk-capcom.com recently... but it's obvious what I've been up to.

The Tory origin story is actually going to be a three parter... I've been wanting to write a back story for Tory for a while... and since it's a slow game month I figured it was a good opportunity. I'm also going to try to continue the fight between Marceline and her dad sometime soon...

[Youindia]

I like Moru's Ico headgear. (I've never even played that game.. I'm just that good. )

Moru looks a bit strange in the last panel...

[Youindia]

Ooooh.... I *just* noticed how cute the expression on Tory's face in the third panel is. @.@

[Shiroi Kaze]

Heh... this is kind of my little February sweeps week, all Tory all week. I think Moru might look kind of funny because you hardly ever see his legs... being he's the shortest character and usually always in frame with someone else.

I noticed I made a bit of a boo boo today though... I set the story 10 years ago when Marceline is supposedly pregnant with Moru... but I forgot Moru is 7! I could have sworn he was 9... LOL... uhhh I dunno... time warp or something.

[Youindia]

Actually, I was referring to Moru's face... His face isn't turned enough for his left eye to be that much smaller.

Simple solution to the time difference: Marceline was pregnant for two years. That's why she's so bitter! XD

[Shiroi Kaze]

What? you're just now noticing I'm a sloppy artist. I like that 2 year pregnancy idea! I might just have to think up of something like that... hmmmm maybe Moru has an older sibling.... hmmmm dum dum dum!

Anyway I wasn't very sloppy today becaue I took extra time to do that Marceline portait... I was going for something out of Conan the Barbarian... although Carlos, the president of Plexinape looks an awful lot like Count Chocula....

[Youindia]

Okay, just HOW pregnant IS she?! Moru must be bigger there than he is in the present!!

I like Marceline's eyes in the portrait.. Almost like flames want to begin flickering out. Oh, and googling 'barbarian woman' turned up this:

[Shiroi Kaze]

Maybe she's pregnant with twins.... DUN DUN DUN

[Youindia]

Moru and Ryouji? (Bad Mario and Luigi joke. Ignore me.)



I'm kind of curious about Moru's father. For some reason, Marceline holding a bottle of ketamine comes to mind....

[Youindia]

The ECKO gear in the last panel is horrifyingly accurate (I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing), but Barrett and Kraig's facial expressions are priceless!

Barrett looks like a white(HA!!) Eminem... I'm going to assume, by the bright blue face, that it's a Fossil watch Kraig's wearing. Why, though, no bling for the dual shock? Sure, it's cordless, but what isn't these days? I hear someone's even developed a cordless CORD.

[Xerlic]

Heya, I'm new around here. I found Godmode about a month or two back from an ad on another webcomic. Probably Chugworth. First off I want to say that the comic is great. I love the style and the humor.

Anyways, I thought the short Tory arc was pretty cool, but something caught my eye that I didn't really see an explanation for.

Tory always is wearing that silver heart pendant, even when she's not at work. You can see this when Moru first shows up at her apartment.

Now I really didn't think anything of it until we see the flashback of when Marcelline first hires Tory and Marcelline has the pendant. I figured that it would be explained how Tory ended up with Marcelline's pendant, but the arc ended without an explanation.

So is there some kind of greater story behind this? It could just be a simple gift, but it seems like there's more to it than that. Kind of curious since Tory appears attached to it granted the pendant is at least 10 years old.

[Giby]

Awww snap son. Dem gaming boys be wearing Ecko gear....dey tryin' to stick it to the man....or something like that.

Monday's comic was good, Old School toon's = greatness.

[Shiroi Kaze]

It's kind of funny I really did more research on what Ecko and John Wayne Bobbitt look like over the Ecko gear.... maybe I can sell my designs to Mark.

Hey Xerlic, it's always good to hear from new readers. You have a very keen eye in that Tory arc, there is some story behind how Marceline gives it to Tory... I'll likely tie that into a story line about Moru's father (just for the record I have no idea who the father should be yet). I'll probably do stories of how Kraig and Barrett got their jobs at God Mode as well... but only during times when there's no decent games coming out.

I had lots of fun with the GI Joe spoof... but I kind of regret leaving out a line of dialogue... I was thinking of having Roadblock yell " Stop! Bitch got cock breath!" but it didn't really fit with the GI Joe kind of dialogue... maybe I'll have an alternate version in a print copy down the road or something....

[Youindia]

I'll probably do stories of how Kraig and Barrett got their jobs at God Mode as well... but only during times when there's no decent games coming out.

...I foresee... Much backstory in the near future..

[Youindia]

...aaand the Plexinape! coffee pot is foiled once again!


..wait, no, it isn't. It's going to shoot Barrett again in a minute anyway. O_o

[Shiroi Kaze]

try not to think about it too hard....

[MWE_BERT]

Tee Hee Purple, any ways that was good, not your best but still dam good, lates

[Youindia]

"I'll have remember who your doctor is..."

When in Kyoto, Engrish as the Japanese do.

[Shiroi Kaze]

LOL... that slipped by both me and Chris. Oh well the Engrish does go with the battle in Tokyo theme anyway.... it's going to be a week long thing similar to Tory flashback. Don't worry though... the game jokes are coming... this is just something I had to get out of my system.

[rollwith808]

I missed that too. Hum..there's actually a e-mail going around with things sort of scrambled but apparently we work it out in our fills in info. I like today's comic

[Youindia]

Reppuken? ^^;

Wait a minute... Ryan forgot Moru's age... Marceline's old man forgot Moru's age....


2+2=fish...


OMG!!! Ryan is Moru's aunt!!

...wait...
