EZ Company: Giant Screaming Spiders Fueled By Hatred And Blood

Kurosen · 08-19-2005, 11:31 PM

I get to make the new comic thread while Brian wallows around in bed!

The blanket in this room has pictures of bees on it. And a cigarette burn. It's like what the Monarch would sleep on if he lived the sad, cheap fluorescent bulb-lit life of a 1950s traveling salesman, playing solitaire 'til dawn with a deck of 51.

Anyway! You will now discuss the latest comic/news update or suffer dire consequences.

i think bagels are better. cause iowa city invented bruggers bagels, but no famous burger chains. and bruggers are damn tasty bagels.

These comics feel broken. Like a trip into the world where nothing makes sense and Brian Clevinger isn't funny.

Then I go and reread the last five 8-bit theatres and it is all good again. Confusing.

Oh come on. Some people just have different senses of humor than others.

I've been meaning to ask this for a while, and I'm not sure if it was already answered in another thread because I don't really read anyone else's posts in the episode threads because your opinions don't matter to me.

Are the EZ Company soldier sprites taken from Crash 'N' The Boyz: Street Challenge? Either that or a volleyball game I played a loooooong time ago.

Is this going to be a frequent thing? I'm all for a change of pace

Ah.. a look into the mind of TK...

I certsinly wasn't expecting more EZ company, but hey, ya take what you can get. Something about that last panel makes me feel good. Spiders jumping on soldiers out of a sense of rage at having lost their human form just feels... right. Way to go with the random vengence humor.

Are EZ company going to be around for every con now? It'd be new and exciting, like introducing a hip teenager into a dying sitcom Not that 8-bit is dying, but being double-alive can't hurt.

I still dislike those comics strongly, but for the first time I found something funny in them: the line about TK having technically not killed any of them.

So Tim, Scott, and Brain are all in one booth? Wow.

You'd think the sheer creative power of that would be enough to lift people into the air and toss em like rag dolls, themselves filled with smaller rag dolls.

Bring the Penny-Arcade guys over to the booth and we can create a rift in space-time the size of downtown New Jersey....

I thought this was just harkoning back to the old days of comics tuesday and thursday, and SOMETHING saturday.
Also, I thought I read those were River City Ransom sprites (and they resemble 'em to me)

Yeah, they're River City Ransom.

Burgers are clearly superior anyways. The forum proved it long ago. I just had to rub it in.

Yeah, I know, it sounded better in my head anyways. My webcomic is called moonshine and you can find it right here. It's sort of about harvestmoon 64. If everyone was drunk. or stupid. or psychotic.
