The NP member comic discussion thread!

[RickZarber]

Woohoo! Philbo #30!

[phil_]

Um, Rick, I've been meaning to talk to you about this for a while. You know that one where I throw Philbo off a cliff and become king of Fairytown? The one you have numbered as Philbo's Super Perfect Party Adventure 15? Yeah... that one's actually called Philbo is Thrown off a Cliff. Philbo's Super Perfect Party Adventure 15 is actually the fake beard comic, though you've got some weirdness there putting that one twelfth and then the crayon comics and this is getting more complicated than I thought when I started this post.

Anyway, what I'm trying to say is this is #29. Sarcastic meta-jokes don't get to be numbered Philbo comics any more than drunk sketches or cat haikus.

Thanks for archiving my stuff, though.

[RickZarber]

That's a, uh, crap-ton of comicpress editing I'm not sure I can do...

[phil_]

I've been doing this Philbo stuff for almost four years and I only have almost thirty comics to show for it. That's, like, if I did monthly updates, I would still have missed a year. I don't think I get to claim milestones.

[Flarecobra]

YAY! New Comic! Horray for JAJAQ!

[phil_]

Hey, Rick, you haven't been reading that other NPF comic thread, have you? The one where I'm pretty much like "NPF comics suck?" That doesn't apply to you, I hope you know that.

I'm looking forward to this.

[RickZarber]

You mean the thread with all'a this?As I mentioned in the chat, yeah, the old comics were pretty much uh... not so good.So

like

Is this a comic about the forum, or is it just a comic with a bunch of forum names attached to characters that has the potential to degenerate into nothing just like all the other ones?Guess I'll just have to cling to my outdated paradigm because this is the only way I know how to fit in.

[mauve]

JAQ2?

JAQ2?!?!?!?!? I AM EXCITE!!!!!!!!! :dance: :dance: :dance:

Oh yeah, and if this is just an April Fool's Day joke I swear upon my autographed Atomic Robo poster that I WILL HUNT YOU DOWN AND PUNCH YOU IN THE FACE!!!!!

Just sayin'.

[phil_]

I'll just have to cling to my outdated paradigmPlease do. You do it well enough to almost make it seem like a good idea.

[Shyria Dracnoir]

JAQ2?

JAQ2?!?!?!?!? I AM EXCITE!!!!!!!!! :dance: :dance: :dance:

I second what the magic hat lady said.

[Thadius]

...Is it too late to apply to be in a Rickcomic?

Cause I would like to be in a Rickcomic.

[RickZarber]

Learned a new trick for the next one: distance maps via monochrome alpha channels for simulated shorter focal lengths on backgrounds. Pretty neat, actually.

[Fenris]

I'm down for inclusion in this if you are so inclined.

If you're not, then that is also understandable.

[akaSM]

I second what the magic hat lady said.

I third this

Also, I know I most likely won't be in a Rickcomic but, poking and nagging Rick about it should be fun :3

[RickZarber]

Do you have sprites, aka?

[akaSM]

I knew there was a catch D:. Fine, your comic can go without me but, only because it's awesome :3

[Shyria Dracnoir]

god, my sprite sheets are ancient.

[Aldurin]

oh dear, more people will be in on the JAQ2 shenanigans. Are you only going to have the team be already existing characters or will you try to make it more up-to-date to the current forum dynamic (Fifthfiend X Liz sloppy makeouts for starters)?

[RickZarber]

I think you might have missed an important bit there.

[Thadius]

I would actually like to apply to be a team member.

Unless you had other plans.

Which will also be cool I suppose.

[mauve]

Very good. Very good. There was a second episode; the face-punching has been therefore been put on hiatus.

[RickZarber]

Unless you had other plans.Hm. I guess I didn't make it clear enough? JAQ2 was a overwrought April Fool's joke. There won't be any more. :I

the face-punching has been therefore been put on hiatus.
Hooray?

[Arhra]

Wow, really clever perspective shot there, Rick!

[Loyal]

I think the wanted sign reads "WANTED For questioning regarding the disappearance of this man (Skyshot)", which is just fantastic really.

[RickZarber]

Wow, really clever perspective shot there, Rick!
Thank you!
I think the wanted sign reads "WANTED For questioning regarding the disappearance of this man (Skyshot)", which is just fantastic really.
Heheh, yup, exactly that.

[POS Industries]

Oh hey, just now got around to looking at the comic thread again. Neat!

Naturally, Rick and I had to have our discussion over beers.

Incidentally, I seem to have lost possession of my own sprite sheet at some point.

[Arhra]

I just so happen to have a copy saved on my computer if no-one's sent you one yet.

[POS Industries]

I have not yet received it from anyone else, no.

Thanks in advance!

[RickZarber]

Oh thank god, GC birthday comic!

All is now okay with the world until next year.

[mauve]

Happy birthday, GC! Good to still see the yearly comic! :D

[phil_]

This is our Sun Dance.

[Arhra]

Has it really been a year? Oh my!

[RickZarber]

Mauve, how can you draw better with a mouse than I can with a pencil what the hell

[mauve]

That's a lie.

But I can draw passably with a mouse because that's what I've used to draw on computers since I was in high school. I graduated from the laptop touchpad to the computer mouse in college.

Because tablets are for QUITTERS.

[Loyal]

Or I'm just a narcissistic asshole who likes drawing her own characters.Man I thought that was the entire point of the thread.

Sincerely,
Narcissisticer Assholer

[RickZarber]

Because tablets are for QUITTERS.*Awkwardly tries to hide his tablet behind his back*

*it is still plugged in*


*nope (http://www.johnnywander.com/comics/291)*

[mauve]

Oh man, remember that one time when I threatened to punch you in the face when you did a JAQ2 last April Fool's Day?

OH, NO REASON WHY I'M MENTIONING THIS NOW.

[batgirl]

Wow, I'm actually in a comic?! Happiness and glee!

[Loyal]

Rick, don't toy with my heart like that. It's fragile and full of emotions.

[RickZarber]

Oh man, remember that one time when I threatened to punch you in the face when you did a JAQ2 last April Fool's Day?

I'm sure I don't know what you're talking about. >>

[phil_]

You're making a book? Wow, I didn't see that coming.

[Melfice]

Assuming the book is real (it's not, is it?), will the cast members get a free copy? =D

[RickZarber]

Well, it's not like I could sell it.

[Arhra]

I am an idiot and posted a thing in the wrong thread!

But I was also meaning to say I just noticed your comic, Rick, and was suddenly filled with comical energy!

[phil_]

So, is that Intern Nin? I'm not sure, there are so many trench coated people angry at the world.

[Arhra]

'tis the rare and magnificent Rage Slime!

Note the slime-bobble!

It may possibly be several of them, totem-pole style, in a trench coat.

[phil_]

Ah, yes, Intern Nin doesn't have a slime-bobble, does he? Perhaps I was thrown by the teeth. I'm not a licensed monsterologist (I practice without a license), but I'm not familiar with any toothed slime species.

[Loyal]

You should be. They're vicious. (http://www.kongregate.com/games/innocuousGames/amorphous)

[RickZarber]

But I was also meaning to say I just noticed your comic, Rick, and was suddenly filled with comical energy!
I was just saying to Mauve last night how I was kinda bummed that I only got a handful of comments on mine, especially after all the hard work I put into it, and also lamenting the apparent death of or general disinterest in the Comic thread (I don't know how many people noticed, but there was a click-through link in my comic showcasing some passive-aggressive petulance).

THAT BUMMED FEELING IS GONE; ALL THE EFFORT WAS WORTH IT.

Like, seriously, you have no idea how happy a new Great Cave Adventure makes me.

No.
Idea.

[mauve]

Seconded. Yay comics!!

[Kyanbu The Legend]

Yeah, though maybe things could change. Well so long as the Comics thread gets new comics regularly.

[phil_]

I could help out with that, But I honestly don't know any of you well enough.Making stuff up about people from nothing is one of our comic thread's most noble traditions. As are writing about yourself and adventures that never conclude.

[Red Mage Black]

I had a sprite folder once upon a time. It's probably on a disc I have, but I'll never get to check because my CD drive is unable to be used. It's also a no go for me with art, as I could never get the hang of even drawing with the simplest style. If I had a tablet, I might have at least tried for OotS stick figures.

[mauve]

My sprite library is back on my old laptop and is about 75% made up of people who are no longer here. XD Also, it appears that over the past few years I have lost my ability to draw in pencil. HEY 2006-ERA MAUVE, I DEMAND YOU TELL ME YOUR SECRETS TO ART!! seriously, I was looking back through the old thread and daaaaamn, when was I able to draw hands and shade hair realistically like that?!

[Shyria Dracnoir]

Holy goddamn those sprites are old. I should update them now that I actually know arts.

[phil_]

My sprite folder still lives and I'll definitely update your folder if you post new sprites, Shyria. Also, didn't say this earlier, but your avatar is really fun to draw and I encourage anyone to include you in their comics that might be happening now. Isn't that exciting, new comics?

Maybe I'll upload my NPF sprite folder to the net. Checking... checking... yeah, it's within mediafire's limits. Anyone want it?

[Shyria Dracnoir]

Do it

[Intern Nin]

So, is that Intern Nin? I'm not sure, there are so many trench coated people angry at the world.
How many of them are green and not red? Also, this guy seems less angry at everything in general and more focused on Shyria and Time Knight Guy Whose Name I Can Not Remember.

Ah, yes, Intern Nin doesn't have a slime-bobble, does he?
On my forehead? No.

[RickZarber]

Ya'll better not break my heart by bein' all talk and no comics, that's all I'm saying right now.

[Steel Shadow]

How many of them are green and not red? Also, this guy seems less angry at everything in general and more focused on Shyria and Time Knight Guy Whose Name I Can Not Remember.


You make me sad. You will not be in the comic I will pretend I am making to spite you.

[RickZarber]

Oh, so, you know, I think I should probably go ahead and confirm that the JAQ book was not part of the April Fool's gag (I mean, other than being a dick about whether or not it was). My original plan was just to let you forget about it until it was complete and then whip out a huge announcement, but hey, maybe I should do that while everyone is actually paying attention.

So yeah. It is actually a thing, and all the stuff I wrote in that post is actually true. Even though I've barely touched the comic thread outside of April Fool's Days, I've been working on this book on and off for two-and-a-half years now, and now it is fairly close to being finished. There will be a further related surprise down the road, too.

[Loyal]

I'd love to get back into this sorta thing, but all I can draw lately is various worldbuilding stuff that has nothing to do with NPF. No idea what kinda comic I could draw here.

I tried making the teeth red or pink since slime teeth were making me wonder too, but they looked like big fat lips to me!

And thanks for the clarification, Arhra.

You're welcome!

[phil_]

Your video is private and will not play, Loyal. Do something about that.

[Loyal]

Should be fixed now. Not sure how it went from Unlisted to Private.

[mauve]

Wow, that looks awesome, Loyal!!

Also: OH MY GOSH HOW DID I NOT NOTICE THERE WERE POSTS IN THAT THREAD IN APRIL??
Rick-- Good stuff! Too bad the project didn't work out-- it looks like it would've been fun!
Arhra--TURTLE DETECTIVE IS A TURTLE! XD

[Shyria Dracnoir]

Damnit Loyal you take all my best ideas and actually do them. I gotta step up my game now.

Seriously, excellent work.

[Loyal]

Damnit Loyal you take all my best ideas and actually do them. I gotta step up my game now.

I would be super stoked if this actually happened. Do not disappoint!

[Intern Nin]

Wow, I totally never noticed the clarification picture for the Slime/Nin confusion thing. Pretty neat, Arhra.

Also, just how many trenchcoat wearing freaks are lurking in that alley?

[mauve]

Happy Birthday, GC! :)

[Flarecobra]

Happy birthday Great Cartoonist.

[phil_]

And the sun will continue to grace us.

[Arhra]

[mauve]

I see Death is photobombing you back there, Phil, and he looks just as disappointed as you.

And of course the biggest April Fools prank of the comic is that Rick is not wearing glasses or a grey shirt anymore-- Clearly this means that is not actually Rick, which is solid proof that JAQ2 does, in fact, exist somewhere. CLEARLY.

[Flarecobra]

No no, he's telling the truth, because he's working on JAQ 3.

[RickZarber]

In the alternate universe of which we (usually) get a glimpse on the first of April, JAQ was adapted into a successful animated series--too successful, for long after the story should have been over, the producers demanded that the comic continue to update in order to justify more episodes. During the inevitable long stretches where this was not possible, the dreaded filler episodes quickly eroded all goodwill any of its original supporters from NPF ever held. AU Rick continues to make the comic, but he hates it, and so does everyone else.

[phil_]

A zipper broke, so I had to summon a Brownie to fix it. But the Brownie wouldn't sew unless I offerd him a saucer of milk, and there's no milk in this box, so I summoned a cow. But then I couldn't summon the Brownie back, because the milk would disappear with the cow, at least as long as it was a normal cow. So I had to summon a Cattlesaucer, which is kinda like a flying saucer (UFO and crockery) made out of cow, which was abominable enough for me to keep it there and summon the Brownie back. But the Brownie kinda freaked out about the half-meat, half-machine, half-flatware abomination blasting milk out its meteor-alloy udders (and who could blame him, in such a cramped space). Anyway, he bailed, and now milk is everywhere and do you think the manager will believe us if we say the zipper was broken when we picked it up?

Well then you should have summoned a leprechaun and threatened him with the Cattlesaucer so he tells you where his pot of gold is hidden so you can pay for the clothes whose zipper you broke.

[phil_]

You don't threaten a leprechaun for money, you catch a leprechaun for money. That's Summoning 101 monster traits, man.

I know I'm not one to talk when it comes to teases, but don't you break my heart, Arhra.

EEEEEE COMIC THREAD IS ALIVE AGAIN EEEEEEEE!!!!!! (At least temporarily!)

Arhra: Yaaay! I'm so glad this story is continuing!! :D

Loyal: Awesome sprites! They all look great! But that lovely one dressed in pink is obviously the best. Obviously.

[Loyal]

I just want it on the record that yours was the hardest to get right since everything is a saturated pink and it was nearly impossible to get anything to contrast with anything else on my color budget.

But thank you for the kind words.

[Arhra]

So, anyone want to know what happened?

Done by Mac.
How can he be making things if he has become a dead?

Is he a ghost?!

[Flarecobra]

Magic.

That's how.

[Loyal]

With a final, pained gasp, he uttered:

"Let there be comics."

[Aldurin]

Ooh, I'm interested to see where this goes, Mac.

[mauve]

Likewise. Yay, Mauve's not dead!

[PyrosNine]

Yay, people other than PyrosNine are dead! Or Apprehended!

[Daimo Mac, The Blue Light of Hope]

Working on the next chapter for Next sunday

[Flarecobra]

Lovely timing.

[Daimo Mac, The Blue Light of Hope]

Well I was thinking of putting the comic up yesterday but someone said i should wait for today...I guess being told you died is not exactly a good birthday gift

[Arhra]

People die in comics all the time and they don't let that hold them back!

[mauve]

No new comics this week, Mac?

[phil_]

Hasn't it been a couple weeks, actually? I've been too busy to notice (and let me say "busy" is something I'd rather not be), but July has been short on Mac fighting comics.

[Flarecobra]

He's been having some real life issues, which he's posted about in the "99 problems" thread.

[Daimo Mac, The Blue Light of Hope]

Hey guys, sorry for the radio silence

I will be having a comic up tomorrow . It is done, but I have been battling the heat and getting ready for my mini vacation.

[Intern Nin]

Oh Comic Mac, don't you know that when you say lines like that it means you're totally going to end up completely embroiled in that biz? It's like you've never watched an action movie sequel. Not too worried about Ninja ala King though. Faking your own death in order to lure the enemy into a false sense of security so that they never see the backstab coming is like the eighth thing you learn in ninja training.

[Loyal]

There are at least eight things you have to learn as a ninja? That's like seven things too many. No wonder ninja mooks are worthless.

[Intern Nin]

There are at least eight things you have to learn as a ninja? That's like seven things too many. No wonder ninja mooks are worthless.

There are 108 disiplines in the Way of Miyagi. First being always martial arts (not my bad grammar, that is the literal translation). Second, do not bunch up because that is how we end up with mass shinobi graves and story material for Chuck Norris movies. Third do not start a fight that you not certain that you can win. Fourth, actually kicking them in the ass is funny and completely humiliating to your opponent so do it. Ninja mooks are the sorts of humorless jerks who don't stick around past lesson one due to lack of patience and because master's walking stick hurts like you wouldn't believe.

[Loyal]

Thieves are taught to run, jump, ambush people from behind trees, and throw knives. Good thieves take more advanced courses like THV231 - How To Literally Steal The Shirt Off A Guy's Back, and THV302 - Ventilation Shafts And You. Great thieves are taught how to maintain good relationships with their friends even while robbing them blind.

There's a whole process to it, and it's as cutthroat as it is demanding. Over 63% of applicants wash out after the first month from the hazing rituals alone.

GC! Good to see you! Happy Annual Birthday Comic Day!

[phil_]

But will it come again? Which is the same question one asks after a bear tears apart their camp, so we should leave a few bits of food near the ground next October, just to be sure.

[Daimo Mac, The Blue Light of Hope]

Holy Crap has GC returned?

[phil_]

He has returned, dropped off his yearly backwards birthday present, and disappeared like he came.

Also, did you know you can tell how cold the winter will be by counting the stripes on a GC comic? It's true.

[Daimo Mac, The Blue Light of Hope]

I know I said comic friday, but it you have read my post here (http://www.nuklearforums.com/showpost.php?p=1245564&postcount=1037), then you realize this past week has been crazy. The comic is still being made and should be up this week

[phil_]

Do what you got to, man. NPF comics isn't anyone's main priority at this point, as much as I'd like us all to still be in high school*.

*Except for me and everyone like me who experienced high school as a continuation of a twelve yer sentence of incarceration with no crime accused, judged guilty, or committed. They get to go free in my mind because some small islands of justice still exist there surrounded by the vast sea of "Life and Fate are capricious."

Magic and wonder are waiting for you! (www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qTQG7jxekM)
IT BEGINS AGAIN
Seriously though, I actually made redux versions of the first five JAQs all the way back in 2007, but I never posted them anywhere. I did those because the first few didn't have even panel heights between the rows, and in the last few Rick is resized to non-100% sizes because I was still full of dumb. I also shrunk the font down to what it was in the remaining comics and Lucas'd it up by adding a few words to comic 5, changing some 8-bit sprites to 16-bit, and changing quite a few backgrounds. You can note that the backgrounds in the final panels of comic 100 match the first few panels of redux #1, so the ending of the comic makes a lot more sense visually. These remade strips were to be exclusive to the book, but I figured what the hell. Have a freebie.

[phil_]

Magic and wonder are waiting for you! (www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qTQG7jxekM)"Special guest star 'Bubbles' the chimp?" Like, that Bubbles the chimp? Or some other Bubbles the chimp? Is "Bubbles" a common chimp name?

"My target audience won't miss it" is objectively false, but I don't blame you for wanting to stop. Wish you well, dude, thanks for making good comics.

Take care, take care, take care.

[Great Cartoonist]

Hey people, thanks for all your support; coming from those of you who have been with me all these years means so much to me like you wouldn't know.

However, this is not a true end to my appearances here. There may be a time when I come across a new inspiration, and if that happens, I might just make a quick return.
Until then, or otherwise... well, life goes on.



Also for those of you who were wondering, I've read Winnie the Pooh many times in my youth.
