Leet Mad Haxorz (a.k.a. Comic with Irrelevant Title)

FungusMule on April 17, 2007

Good day once again. A bit slow with the posting, I know, but I've had limited scanner and Photoshop access due to the Easter break.

I'm, personally, quite proud of this one. I decided to try and use the polygonal lasso tool to add depth to the background (much like Mike Krahulik does with Penny Arcade), which I think turned out okay. If you didn't already notice, this strip details how a few double entendres can (accidentally) transform a mundane conversation into a hilarious one. Sure, it's lowbrow, but, hey, The Tunnel isn't exactly The Fucking New Yorker, is it?

This was originally going to be a comic about Nick holding his annual Good Friday Neighbourhood Barbecue (an event which he never misses, due to his love of vexing the Christian community), although I figured that particular idea really needed to go online around Good Friday for it to have maximum impact (which I could have done, if I did not come up with the idea after the break began). Posts should become more common soon, as I may finally get a computer and scanner to call my own!

As for the characters in here - Nick (a representation of the author, a.k.a. me - he's the guy sitting down in Frame One, for all you new readers) appears once more, along with Brad (other guy in Frame 1), Nick's younger brother, who has not appeared in any previous strips on DrunkDuck (and has only appeared in one other strip, which will most likely never see the Internet, nor the light of day, seeing as how I locked it in a lead box and buried it very far underground over in Peru). The blond-haired guy in Frames 2 and 3, alongside Nick (who is unmistakeably younger in said frames) is an old friend of mine that I will not name here, who I have not seen for a long time now (I based the character off a picture of him in my old yearbook). He will most likely not appear again, save in the rare flashback. The teacher is a fictional character, based loosely on a teacher at the school that I went to in Grade 7 (I will not name him either, for obvious reasons). Yes, you can probably tell by the uniforms in this comic that I went to a private school in Grade 7 - not that it made me a better person in any way.

Anyway, that's enough of me. Nick out.
