Group Anthrax, Chapter Two: Awaken,
Page Seven: Who the Fuck Talks Like That?
Thursday, March 27, 2008--3:25 PM
Dude, seriously? Now I can't even get pages that've been finished ahead of time up on time? Gods, what the shit. Okay, I guess I did hafta move 'n' stuff, but seriously. This is ridiculous.
So, the name of this page comes from Bucket writing himself talking foolishly. It bugs me, therefore, we must make fun of it. Oh, so much making fun of the Bucket. Cuz, ya see, the way we do this comic now, is that the main-character-types, who are all based on real people, get to write themselves. It's much fun. I enjoy it, much less work for the Tsuki, and now people aren't as out-of-character as in the past. Except for Bucket, but that's his own fault for bein' a pussy. Oh, and speaking of Bucket in this story, as I look at it, back at the end of chapter one, when the people were running about wrecking stuff in the library for who knows what reason (I blame Bucket, as it was his idea, and at the time, we'd been leading up to him doing the writing for awhile...poor judgment on my part, to be sure), when Tsuki looks to Bucket and asks what the plan was, or whatever, in that situation, that was his chance to sorta be leaderly-type-person. Thing is, he handled it poorly, so now, in the canon of the comic, Tsuki will never defer to Bucket again. In her estimation, he can't think on his feet, and therefore is not to be followed. I'm wording this strangely, and this really has nothing to do with this page, but I thought I'd throw that out there. Plus, now I have proof that I've thought this sort of thing through before it became an actual part of the comic. Mmmyep.
I feel I should explain that last panel. So, when I was putting together the layout for this page, I decided that the last panel should be Tsuki looking around her room for something to hide the ears, by which she could get past her parents unmolested. Yes, that is a proper use of that word, and I did it on purpose. ^_^ Cuz I'm funny. Anyway, so, my original plan was to draw just a view of Tsuki's room (and hence mine, since she's my avatar character and therefore has the same room I do in my parents' house). But, I didn't really plan what I was going to draw, how I was going to show the room. So, when it came down to it, I got kinda stuck. Tsuki's in her bathroom right now, has been since the end of page one of this chapter. Haha, seven pages in the bathroom, doing nothing of the bathroomy persuasion. On a side note, I forgot the time I had going when I Photoshopped Tsuki's phone in page six. Hideyori's call shoulda been at 11:27 am, not 10:27. Ah, well...but anyway, Tsuki's been in the bathroom, and with the size of the panel I planned, I couldn't figure out a good view that might express the bathroom to room-ness. Basically, it would've been a very strange panel, and probably have taken a stupid amount of effort to draw--plus, I kinda just wanted to finish this page, and that panel was acting as a road block. So, hanging out with peoples, I asked the room at large what they thought I should do with the panel--and my friend Matt came out with the Dr. Octogonopus BLAAAAAAHHH! thing. Which, I liked. See, with my brothers, those YouTube poop videos from which the joke came are pretty big at the moment (Daaa...I don't remember the name of the videos). So, funny. Matt got the joke from a tag at the end of something else we watched (I don't even remember what this particular video was at all)--so, it was a sort of inside joke that every place in and around my life right now someone would get (cuz, you know, at college, without my brothers 'n' stuff). Horray! Oh, and for the record, when I talk about my brothers, I mean Suitcase and Hideyori--as we've all really adopted one another as family. ^_^ I love them a lot. I still love Bucket...but...I'm done. Done with him. By this, I'm talking about real-life counterparts, of course. It's a long story. And I always end up extending the stories I tell. Rar. Um, yeah. That's enough of that.
^_^ As always, the date on the comic is the date it was finished, not necessarily the date it was posted.
