Re: 8-28-08 Too fruity (guest strip)
Wow, Chris actually got a comic up on time. But can he do it with his own comic? (Don't get me wrong, I like both his comics a lot - they're just seem to never be posted at a set time.)
So does this comic settle the question of whether Zii is into Didi?

We didn't write any of the guest strips, so the official position is that Chris seems to think so. :lol:

I didn't get the sharp feeling of amusement I get from most of the others. However it was a playful nod to the Zi/DiDi lovers (of which i am one). I love playful romantic lesbian themed interaction and this one provided it. Thanks.

Re: 8-28-08 Too fruity (guest strip)
This is the second artist that's drawn Didi completely wrong! LOOKS to me like he just half-ass it, inked it, then run a dry gag with typecasting stereotype implying there being i.e. lesbian-esque thing going on. The routine is getting old so very stale real fast!
Giz n D.Z. "comical illusion" skills throwing out this constant flow of imbalances at their fictional actors (Zii, Didi, Gary); Immediately showing how the characters interact to clique, evolving the story is beginning to be fun to read. Yes it has a modern day twist with everyone out now but this still screams old school comedy so everything falls back 60's-80's The Benny Hill Show with the ending Yakity-yak saxaphone playing in the background; Please people stop ruining the comedy with dry stereotyping material damn whipper snappers! :ugeek:

True. You are right about that Gred, I tried pulling back little bit and remain neutral best as possible.

I like it. Zii is particularly well-drawn.

Re: 8-28-08 Too fruity (guest strip)
I really don't know about this guest strip... the gags just far too obvious even from the first panel and the overall style seems kinda half assed like the entire thing was put together in less then 20 minutes... I mean, DiDi's legs in the second panel... She's got thundercalfs! That and Zii, even though more attention has been paid to drawing her... She looks like a muscular guy with a weird haircut rather then the skinny rock chick we know and love.
Swing and a miss for this guest strip sorry.

The 'skinny rock chick' has a nice ass, but at least two characters in the strip have thought of her as male.
It DOES look a bit rushed in detail, but seeing as how they were nice enough to do a guest strip, I refuse to rip them for not making look as nice as Gis.

Re: 8-28-08 Too fruity (guest strip)
I thought it was a cute little strip.
Guest strips need to be one-off jokes like this, they have to be outside of continuity and you only get as long as you get, with is usually one page/strip. This one was fine, and it was funny.
Thanks Chris!

Kid Kool (1988) for the Nintendo Entertainment System is GROSSLY underrated. Sure the concept could've been presented a little better, but it doesn't deserve the hate it gets in some circles.

Re: 8-28-08 Too fruity (guest strip)
Okay, then these are all officially non-canon? Okay.
I actually wasn't expecting the last panel.
But then, I'm dumb.
Cute, though. (The strip, not me.)
