~Adieu, 2007~

Read the rest of this entry »

Unlike the half-assed show I’ve put on for the past few year-end bits, I want this one to be uh, good for once, so I went so far as to start it early. Soon you shall behold an article so powerful it was forged over two weeks ago from raw .txtium ore in the fires of hatred and laziness. So let’s take an opportunity to build up more tension for the inevitable anticlimax earth-shattering FINAL UPDATE* OF 2007.

Breakdown of the article’s timetable and resources:

• That week I took off from my webcomic and made one sorta funny Phoenix Wright injokey scribble in between establishing a buffer of finished pages to allow myself more time to fix the site up for the holidays

• Wearing my ‘week ahead’ down to ‘one strip ahead’ with a combination of coming home too tired to focus and making the last push in my ‘Broketober Rush’ of DS games
• Oh, hey, so that’s why the move markers in Heroscape are numbered
• Scribbling something in Photoshop to fulfill the ’silly pictures’ expectation set in the comments
• Giving up, adding inappropriate text to blanked webcomic templates instead (HAHA MEGATOKYO)
• Grumbling about how gaming technology peaked at the Neo Geo level
• Deleting large rant on webcomics written from a combination of memory and plain fabricated instances
• Realizing I’ve written x number of pages without addressing real world events
• Deep shame
• Why the hell did I decide to look at my Webalizer stats?
• Writing during a MST3K marathon run
• Trying to think of something dramatic to base my New Years resolution on
• Bobbing my head to that “FIGHT DA POWUH!” number from Gurren-Lagann

This is the theme of the ‘G’, baby, raw raw, fight da powa.

Buff, buff, buffing along. Okay, so I only have about 1 and a half pages to show for the extended break, but if I keep rolling at this rate, I’ll be easily set. Dare I say it, I’m getting into the vibe of my own universe again!

Hopefully when next I post here it will either be with a new theme and/or the year in review piece. KANGEKI! GO, GO, GO NEXT ZONE

I’d really like to hear the explanation for why Cartoon Network STILL prefers to show 70’s Scooby reruns to classic Looney Tunes during the dead portions of the day. Currently playing is that one where they’re driving all over Chinatown while generic hippy music plays as usual- in fact, the exact song parodied in that one Johnny Bravo cartoon.

It’s hard to say if the old cartoons are more or less palatable than the new direct-to-video movies that they’ve taken to airing just as frequently. At least in the old ones they don’t bludgeon you with an almost offensively stupid version of Fred while making Daphne out to be a genius martial artist (the better to undermine Fred’s only other attribute, his ‘muscle’) TV star, surpassed only by Velma in wits. It’s better than her being perpetually-posed eye candy in a Crayola dress like before, but was it really necessary to make the former alpha male hideously stupid (which started seemingly in the 80’s “WHAT IF THEY WERE KIDS edition.) Make ‘em all smart, why not. We’ve demeaned stoner hippies for too long. You can’t make Scooby-Doo funny in any way, shape or form anyway, so it’s no big loss to sacrifice the backup doofus.
I should probably get back to work before this starts sounding like Bizarro Crimitism.
