This would be the last section for this logo. Starting with #500 the new logo would be in place. Until then I had more to do, and none of it was fun. The 2020 lockdowns had to conclude, as did the riots, while 2021 brought another surgery to remove a hernia and get a hernia mesh. I played a bit with text message avatars, which I might not have need for again but it was a neat idea at the time. Tom Spex got more exposure here with all the changes at DC and Marvel during the period of the 400s. Little did I know Scrappy-Doo punching James Gunn wouldn’t be the last time I had to get mad at the jerk. He hadn’t ruined a second DC cinematic universe yet. I ran out of Christmas plots, so I just did a New Year’s hope for 2021.
I also took time from the regular stuff for Herodude & Enemies, Jake and Max’s superhero parody, based on an old fictional comic (as in it was fictional in a comic I made in my twenties for fun), but finally planned out and given a story. It gave me something to do with the comic since the entertainment industry was (allegedly) in lockdown as well so nothing was coming out and the stupidity from the celebrities was low. Plus the art buds got to do the “Art Soundoff” challenge, a micro-podcasting challenge I was doing as well. You saw the first batch last time. I’m just glad I didn’t miss any numbers again.
I blame the press. They like pressing us to fear everything.Because someone was using the volleyball.Don’t worry. She has a food replicator and plenty of movies on her tablet.Yeah, but I’d still have to draw them 6 ft. apart.For the record I am in a favor of protesting and the anger was justified. Rioting is NEVER justified against innocents.Advance Comics was better to the smaller comic shops I tend to use.According to scientists zombies are impossible and Skynet is the dream. My money’s on the death bots.I think we all need something silly about now.Because we don’t have enough fear right now.He’s secretly bankrolled by the dental council.He even gave him the quip to drop in with. How kind.I guess it’s so the dumber villains don’t feel so bad.Shared universes are all the rage these days.Especially if they deal with Spider-Man on a regular basis.The obligatory action scene.At least he was smart enough to realize his robots were no match for the hero instead of stay to see him perish.If evil ever learned we couldn’t tell stories.Unless Bendis is writing him. Then he’s just annoying.Of course those answers were never solved either.But he forgot to give a recommendation.It turns out Frenchians are not affected by Covid-19. Fire and blunt objects they’re still allergic to.The only thing salvagable about 2020 is that it will end.It’s tough to make new shows when you can’t use the sets.Alternate title: Scrappy-Doo and Guess Who.We had this discussion with Axel Alonzo and C.B. Cebulski. Look how that turned out?Handheld drone. Studio apartment sized flying saucer. Totally the same, right?Well, they got their one minimum in.It’s like a New Year’s resolution for everyone else.Following trends is how marketing works. That’s the problem with marketing.Given the year she’s had I needed to make her last comic of the year a good one.Let’s hope it is.I’d say ignorance is bliss but that’s usually how they trick you. However, not watching the news has its benefits.“Not that I was supposed to, but you didn’t take Mrs. Green’s math class.”I’m sorry, but that “coral” room from the Davies period was ugly as heck, and13’s needs to bu a light bulb. A lamp. Something.It’s not like we follow every boring moment in other people’s lives.Do we not remember Jen only got her gamma radiation from a blood transfusion and not a large gamma bomb?Nonexistence does tend to interfere with the creative process.Altered the template slightly. Now the panels are properly sized.One of the inspirations for Star Wars were old movie serials, and, yes, there were rock monsters. I looked that up in like 10 minutes.Still, I…he didn’t have to pay extra for them.The annoying part is this sliver of the idea is still hanging there taunting me. If I could remember what inspired it….Still beats stacks of VCR cassettes waiting to be watched. Still. In 2021.I guess older Jon needed a GPS to his home dimension.I wish this was a joke but that’s what’s about to happen to me.At least it isn’t Neelix coming back.Okay, now I’m convinced.Yeah, I heard he reformed or something but would this have worked with The Plutonian?To make it worse, his apartment building is across the street.One thing I learned doing this comic: my current skill level isn’t up to drawing in the Looney Tunes art style, even with how-tos.At least I left her a blond.
