Brand New Stuff! Hiatus Humor With Phira and Lindsay
dueeast on Nov. 11, 2007
How often does one get to poke a little fun at three completely different subjects in one silly little filler page? Well, my friends, this is one of those times!
It started out as “hiatus humor” with the concept of just being some funky pseudo-philosophical/intellectual discussion between Phira and Lindsay…and then it somehow warped into a discussion about comic book time vs. real time – between two webcomic characters, with Lindsay obviously being a WoW fanatic (that is, War of Worldcraft, of course! You too can be a “Battle Axe Commando!”).
After Lindsay appeared as “The Beautiful Reman Queen” in the last filler, it only made sense to have the part about Lindsay breaking the fourth wall in the last panel with some “real time” knowledge of her own…but to quote Rameses from The Prince of Egypt: “One must wonder WHY?” ;)
Shout outs to Brock from The Superfogeys – I couldn't resist it, man! I like your comic too much.
Oh, and was this fast enough for ya, ShadowC?

Don't bother us with the facts, TitanOne --lol! I don't think Superfogeys existed before last year.

My Dweeb contribution of the day: Did 'Superfogeys' exist in 2003? And if not, wouldn't Phira be imagining a comic strip that is nonexistent, since she still thinks it's 2003..? After the answer, we can discuss Kirk's so-called "death" in Generations...;)

Too cool! Thanks for the shout-out, Allen. It made my day AND made me laugh.

Comic time... is one of the things I have to deal with. There is always a challenge to make it look like the eternal present to make it relevant to your readers. Thats why I love 'modern time' settings. Errr... fantasy world settings are much more convenient to cheat the time. lol

Yup, breaking the fourth wall is always so much fun! I have entire storylines about what my characters do off stage. (Usually legal action against their contracts with me :p mwe heheheh!)

Beautiful artwork here! I particularly like Lindsay's face as she "breaks the fourth wall".

What are they watching on tv? It's driving me insane =P Excellent penciling! My characters always fear the "show" is getting canceled when I don't update and they look for other jobs.

It's so much fun to play around outside the fourth wall. Mwahaha! I always assume my characters are plotting their revenge on me when no one is watching them... I imagine many comic characters would do the same to their creators.

Now that's funny! And you did the art in old school pencils too! Looking forward to the latest chapter!
