Comic for Monday May 5th, 2003

Although I have never mentioned it at all, I think it would be prudent to put up props to the webcomics that I read and enjoy. I started with MacHall and quickly moved on to read RPG World, Penny Arcade, Stubble, and Megatoyko. I like them all and those responsible for each of those comics are simply amazing imaginative geniuses. They represent the best of webcomics. They show the multifaceted world that it is and validate that webcomics as artistic expression.

Now for the opinion section of my rant. Out of those comics I just mentioned I think I should say that strictly as a matter of opinion, I do heart the RPG World comic the best. Lord does that comic ever make me laugh. The characters all rule Hyrule. Perfection in every section of the comic. At first the fact that the art was so sketchy and unpolished seemed strange to me, but now I definitely wouldn't want it any other way. It gives RPG World its own style rather then look like something like my comic which is a little more cookie cutter anime style.

Although I will admit that Penny Arcade makes me laugh out loud frequently, RPG World is the one that makes me laugh hardest. Here's a link to an old RPG World Strip that my friend Joe and I were talking about earlier tonight. "Really Evil Costume" I'm still chuckling like a moron.

On the reality side of things, I am going down to Long Island for the weekend. It'll be nice to see fam, friends, and the dog. I think we're going to go see X-Men 2 on Friday. I hope it doesn't suck Olyphant balls. It looks promising. I think Joe said that there is also going to be some sort of Japanese Festival somewhere on the Island. So we'll probably check that out as well.

Did I ever mention that I have hundreds of original Dragon Ball merchandise from various Shonen Jumps, movie promos, and calendars? I bet you that stuff would sell like hotcakes on E Bay. The coolest stuff I have I think are a poster from when I saw the 2nd DBZ movie in the theaters in Japan, color prints from Shonen Jump, and the very first DBZ Calendar. Very high quality stuff.

On to Spirit 15. We're in the last week of month 2 of Ninja Spirit. (On a side note, I'm still calling this comic Fighting Spirit.) Lord Hawk makes his debut and we finally have a major bad guy on the scene!! I enjoy drawing Hawk and he seems to come out very well on a consistent basis. Joy. Although I haven't revealed who Lord Hawk is talking to, I will say that I keep them hidden for a reason. you'll just have to wait and find out why. 

It's actually going to be Lord Hawk week so enjoy. After which we catch right back up with Yuki and the return of our favorite, albeit only, Kitsune. 

River is growing sleepy.
