Ever have that feeling deja vu?
So had a dream last night that I was kicked off of SHOW! and replaced by another web cartoonist whose name I won’t mention here because it’s silly. It’s no one that I know, so it’s definitely not YOU, so don’t get your hopes up. I hate dreams like this because they’re stupid and make no sense. I mean, who would kick me off my own podcast? In the dream, it was the higher ups. You know, the PRODUCERS who don’t actually exist in real life because it’s my own podcast and no one is involved in it except for my co-host Aurelina and myself. Still, this dream comes on the heels of a revelation that another comic decided to remove a link to Murry Purry Fresh and Furry. This sort of thing happens every so often, just par for the course, really. I dunno, maybe it’s just me, but when I put a link on my website, it usually stays there. Unless the site I’m linking to goes down and gets surreptitiously replaced by, I dunno, some sort of shock porn site or something. The point is, a link from Murry Purry is a link you can depend on. I don’t decide to arbitrarily smack down the little guy. I share links with him. Of course, I really shouldn’t, because the little guy is a fickle asshole who thinks that the concept of reciprical linking means he links to me for a month, I link to him indefinitely. I’m looking at you,RANDOM KEENSPACE COMIC WHOSE NAME I FORGET BECAUSE WE HAD A FALLING OUT LIKE EIGHT YEARS AGO OVER THIS VERY ISSUE.
Apologies for the self-pitying post, but I am feeling very disposable tonight. What a difficult life I live!
I’ve never had marzipan.
The expressions in this make me think Melvin’s been taking advice from PUA websites.
What if this marzipan just walked out the door right now and you never saw it again? Terrible things can happen to marzipan.
On an almost-related note, was it Ryan Sohmer who took over your dream podcast? Ryan Sohmer hurts us all. It’s nothing to be ashamed of.
@Skoon: You simply MUST try it. It’s just sugar and almond paste, but, oh man, it is tasty.
@Stelford: Melvin’s gonna start peacocking next! It wasn’t not not Ryan Sohmer!
Melvin’s face in panel 2 and 3 are pure gold.
“Gets’er ev’ry time…”
Pish-posh and poppycock! I, for one, went through genuine withdrawals when you took your comicks-making hiatus. That’s not disposable, good sir!
And Skoon’s back! Now it’s a party. :D (I was a few strips late with the traps.)
(Or early. I meant early. One of those. Stupid brain.)
@Limpurtikles: He’s a tricky one, that Melvin!
@Mr. Casual: Aw, shucks! XD Don’t mind me, I’m just being emo. XP
I’ve often wondered… how did Melvin end up marrying a 65lb. pine marten if he’s all about fatties?
I like to imagine that they met online, got engaged and even married long distance, and only then did he discover that Cloey’s superpower is that she photographs really, really poorly (or really, really well, depending on how you look at it.)
Or possibly her build shifts dramatically depending on whether you view her from the front, side, or three-quarters position. It’s like how they had a lot of trouble designing Beavis and Butt–Head action figures in the ’90s because the character art didn’t match up at all between the front and side.
It’s actually an arranged marriage between two powerful land-owning families of high blood.
She had huuuuuge . . . tracts of land!
And many feudal vassals too!
By “arranged marriage”, do you mean “brutal prank on their butlers’ kids”?
In the context of the comic, “feudal vassals” ends up sounding like a really unpleasant medical condition that one gets from eating too much almond paste.
Feudal vassals do sound like some sort of polyp that would grow in your colon…
