Mary Sue? What's it ta you?
Banes on March 20, 2015
It was getting late when I submitted this to HippieVan and Ironscarf's Mary Sue parade and I missed the boat.
Clint McClane DOES resemble a TS cast member, actually. Maybe he's somebody's long lost uncle?
Clint might be more of an Anti-Sue. Or an Anti-Marty Stu or Gary Lou, if we want to split hairs…
The Anti Sue doesn't have the perfections of a Mary Sue, but is a variation who gets all the favoritism in story of someone who DOES have all those perfect attributes. Which makes it even worse writing, probably…
…having said that, I kind of want to start a comic about this guy; he seems to be having a good time!

hehe In all seriousness glad you made it in - this is a touchdown with no time left on the clock!!

@Ironscarf - If you would do guest art, no matter what the pace, I'm gettin to work on this thing right away!!
Banes at 12:17PM, March 20, 2015
@KimLuster - Sorry, KL...now I feel a bit guilty meself...
Ironscarf at 10:16AM, March 20, 2015
Damn you Banes - you made the deadline and made me look even more loserish! Oh well, this guy definitely deserves his own comic. I might even volunteer to do some guest art - if you're not in a hurry!
KimLuster at 8:57AM, March 20, 2015
Gaaaaahhhh! I see where they put it in... So all my boistering was for naught...!!! Gahhhhh.... Story of my life!!
Banes at 8:55AM, March 20, 2015
@KimLuster - HAHA! Well, I DID send it at about 2 minutes to midnight, so I wasn't TECHNICALLY late...just TOO late...if you examine the...ah, forget it (*does the tardy dance)
Banes at 8:54AM, March 20, 2015
@Call Me Tom - thanks Tom!
KimLuster at 8:53AM, March 20, 2015
Yeah... it's kinda not fair for you! I did line art only on my entry so I could rush and get it in on time, whereas you took the time to do some really nice-looking stuff, more effort, better result... And it cost you... I feel sorta bad... sorta... Nahhhhh!!! *Does the Victory Dance!*

Ha ha ha! Fantastic!

@KimLuster - haha, thanks. As I was doing this I was thinking "If nothing else, I bet someone will enjoy the 'Han Shot First'". A classic, to be sure!
KimLuster at 8:07AM, March 20, 2015
Haha I love it, esp. the 'Han Shot First' shirt...! But you still didn't get in on time, so you're a loser lol!!
