Aftermath
What’s up with the size difference? Well, when the sketch artists scans the art into the computer, he places it onto a SVG document which renders out to pixels that the inker then traces by hand (to achieve the Game Boy Advance “Pixel Art” feel).
However, somewhere in transition between the sketch artists computer and the inker’s computer, the comic switched dimensions. The inker didn’t know about the inflexible width for comics (700px ALWAYS!)… so it wasn’t until AFTER ink and color that the mistake was caught!
After these two comics (this one and the last one) were completed, we sat back, looked at what we had, and started working on making a comic we could actually produce weekly!
These two comics are like baby pictures… it’s nice to see where you came from… but it can be a bit embarrassing as well!
Quench our thirst so we can make more comics! ($2.50 for a 6-pack, $5 for a 12)View Transcript
David covers his eyes with his hand. “I don’t even want to know.”
Chris walks up and pushes Dave toward the couch. “Go, sit down! The shear comfort will make you forget all about money!”
“I doubt it. I was saving up for Smash Brothers Brawl Tickets!” However, David does eventually sit down on the couch. He bounces a bit. “This couch is pretty comf…”
Suddenly, one of the springs in the cushion underneath David pops through the material, poking him in the posterior. “OUCH!” he shouts, jumping off the couch. The spring, so released, leaps out of the couch, ricochets off a bookshelf, bounces off a overhanging lamp, smashes into a mirror, recoils off a bust of Sonic, and finally collides with a clock which falls upon Chris’ head.
David goes down on one knee next to Chris. “I want my 500 Pokedollars back.”
Chris looks up a David from his flat-on-his-back-on-the-floor vantage point. “You may… of course… kiss my bruised backside.”
