Year two was the result of some experimenting with year one. For example, the idea of the different art styles of the non-host segments was changed. Originally, Jake had the more serious style, which has become the norm for parodies, and Leon had the coloring pencils, which never scanned well. I even gave Dudebro his own style, based on a collage of cut images to match his particular tastes. That was a bit more work, and the style I used for Jake’s “fantasies”/current parodies offers me more art practice. I did make a news set and podium, but never finalized those corners, and I still don’t have a dedicated set for the comic store, where our final supporting cast member, Spex, debuts. You can also see the early ideas for the TV room, one of two break areas in the studio.
Before this year was out I started numbering the comics. It’s also when I started to post to a review aggregator site called Reviewers Unknown as one of their article writers. No pay involved but as I was starting to do videos as well it gave me another place to be seen. Sadly the site no longer exists, but Ozzie Arcane appears in one of the comics to promote it. Originally I was going to post these by comic creation cycle “years”, but due to menu formatting issues, groups of 50 were the way I had to go. It was also around this time that the comic took center stage and now it’s the comic and an update of what’s planned for the week or what I’ve done elsewhere, like The Clutter Reports.
Proof that Jake and Leon are single.Could I draw a worse Alfred?Maybe he’s still bummed about the last Christmas Spotlight?Sometimes you need a defense against disappointment.My biggest concern is that he’s still in the kids section.My apologies to Johnny Yong Bosch.And he has a message for a certain whiny girl, too.At least we know who would do the comic adaptation.I’m sure it’s happened to someone out there.I was worried about how bad my Smurfette was. Then I saw the live-action movie trailer.{insert “I’ll Never Be Rich” song here}I don’t even eat the stuff.The hard part was coloring the eyes. It really wasn’t that hard.He can also turn into Sentai heroes that predate Power Rangers.Also, he can’t afford the postage.That may be the only way to get through to them.What, you think only guys pull that stunt?Think how the store owners feel.Probably be big in JapanNow you know what she’s doing on Earth. 🙂I drew the Earth, but you can’t see it behind the Red Ranger’s word balloon. 😦Or when he’s reading certain comics. (no, I didn’t forget)For the record, I just wasn’t impressed.It’s my comic and I say they still have a local arcade. I wish I did.Apparently they can.Don’t get me started on the boots.Just how did a cat wearing a pop tart who propels himself with a rainbow get so popular, or did I just answer my own question?Nobody complained when Batman was on his feet in less than a week…If you’ve seen Raphael in any continuity, you know Casey’s right.Some things just aren’t funny.Here’s a hint: it’s not the cat.I’m sure there are airholes in the back. Maybe.Remembering 9/11Oh, you wacky super villains, you.As much as you don’t want to, you remember the Spider-Armor.I think we need to fix the electric in the J&L studio.So start doing something satire-worthy, entertainment industry.How would YOU represent the clay origin?I apologize for this comic.I’ve always told people the Teletubbies were evil!On top of 50 billion other things the Rangers do with their spare time.Lucky for people on France there are no turkeys.And so it begins…Is figgy pudding even that good it requires you to demand it?This has nothing to do with my cousin.What, you’ve never wondered?I’m not sure that I got the Mayan skin color right.Just ignore the comic title on the strip. I forgot to change it when I changed the punchline.At least we have cool new logos. Oh, wait…Angel Grove must have some weird traffic reports.
