Weapon Of Choice
Aaronthewolf on March 14, 2012
An important part of being a Slapstick actor is having a weapon that defines you. So the professor asks to see what the students are packing. But not every weapon is a good choice, and not every object is a weapon much to a few students chagrin.
I had a little difficulty with this strip. Due to certain circumstances that were somewhat beyond my control I had to split this strip and the next one. Initially they were supposed to be fused although they were essentially two separate jokes. I'm not going to go into the sordid details, sufficed to say medical attention was needed, and this strip took longer than it should have. It works on its own I just am not happy when I can't get something just the way I want it. I don't like to admit defeat.
I wish that page counter still worked so i could see how many people have ever actually seen this comic. Those of you who have been commenting, I really appreciate your feedback,criticism and kind words. It has given me the drive to keep plugging away at this project and improve as I go. I just wish I could find a way to get this more exposure. I've already did some self promotion in the forum…but…eh. I don't want to push to hard, and annoy people leading to hatred simply for posting such things repeatedly.
I hope you like the character style representatives. Some are harder to guess at than others. I'm tying to work on my depth of variety when it comes to the characters. So you'll continue to see the characters (particularly the background characters) change visually as I attempt to get better at capturing their artwork style. Then again, I guess I'll always see my style in them regardless of how hard I try to emulate. I wish I had a staff.
Anyway, Enjoy the strip. See you next week.

Well took some time of my schedule to see and good to see you back in track. On the comic itself that is quite some collection of weapons but... Max with the Hammer on front took me a time to take out the pie theory when I recalled the hammer from before given it is a WOODEN one(with plenty of use). Ratso with the Shotel now that also helps as a backscratcher... Nice South Park reference but some of them are out of my league. Still throwable pencils and the pocket knife aren't blunt they are on the stab department. Also seems that the chew toy is more like he forgot to take out the real weapon because of a hungry stomach.

@ Crazy, rightfully so...that ain't no party cannon.

@ Axaeziel, Unfortunately that was supposed to be Max's signature hammer from the front. A friend of mine pointed out it looked like a dandelion about 5 minutes before I posted, but I protested that nobody would make that connection to save myself spending a half hour re-doing it. I wish I hadn't been so engrossed that I had noticed it sooner. Derp on me.

Pony Cannon! WooT! Lol... Is his a feather duster? Puffball on a stick? Hmmm...

Inexplicably, the one that I fear the most in this page is the little pony in the bottom with the cannon.
