SDCC 2014 CONVENTION EXCLUSIVE
July 28, 2014
2:49 am
I was stressing out about finishing a comic this week on top of the Con, and my little brother who is out here visiting for the first time was like “Ha Ha, maybe I should make your comic this week”, and I totally held him to it.
Since Jared is basically Lucas it was very appropriate.
I am with him, who is the other stick figure meant to be? Assuming Jared, as he drew it, and he is kind of self-centered.
I’m pretty sure it’s the Commander…glasses on forehead, slicked back hair, manly sideburns…
But the one on the right?
Has to be Jones, never seen Jared wearing a pony-tail before
Jared does have long hair in the back though.
In the last page, his hair was tied. But assuming Jared tried to be as accurate as possible with his drawing, the person on the right would be Jones (the high ponytail).
Hmm, I’m gonna have to go with Jared being the person on the right. The conversation in the drawing seems to fit with what happened in the last few pages.
Whoops. Thought Commander said “You ‘n Jones” indicating it was Jonesy, so…I need to go home and rethink my life.
whatever happened to jones? haven’t seen her in a while…. is she like irrevelant now or what?
She’s just not in the current week’s comic. Doesn’t mean she’s suddenly out of the story. She’ll show up when Coelasquid wants her to, as relevant as ever.
Seriously, did you already forget about how Jared didn’t even get to go to the abstract space future? Jones will always be at least as relevant as Jared.
yeah your right….. now i feel wierd about asking that o.o
and i’m pretty sure jared did go to the abstract space future….it might have just not been shown in the canon storyline of manly men ( if there is one. if not then disregard everything i said)
He didn’t go to the abstract spacefuture with Commander and Jones in the last story arc. He stayed behind and became Bird Jesus.
But the one on the right?
Whoops, forgot to click reply. Dang those ‘slow down’ messages.
For some reason I get the ‘slow down’ more often than not. I think the last time I commented was months ago as well.
As I’ve heard, the counter counts not only for you, but a bunch of other people as well.
Don’t keep us in suspense! Is he gonna put it on the fridge or not?!
Commander appreciate a lizzard tail from his kids, why shouldn’t he appreciate Jared’s comic strip?
Perfection; you can’t fake those kinds of stick figures! It takes raw talent to make them so lovably awkward. <3
That… may sound like an insult, but I'm not being sarcastic. There's a certain quality that is charming and harder to replicate than one might imagine through actual skill. You see it in kid's art all the time.
The stick figures are great yes but the truly greatest thing about this particular comic is the Monty Python reference.
Come again?
I am assuming that it’s the title of the page “And now for something completely different”. It’s a series of Monty Python sketches.
Oh! Right! I knew that ^_^;
And once again the Commander is the dispenser of sage advice.
Brilliant. Much like Conan O’Brien’s short lived but memorable role in the upcoming Sharktopus vs Pteracuda, there exists a primal joy to it, but also a subtle confidence that forces the audience to look deeper in order to find what is truly there…
you should SO let your brother draw more of your comics. I would pay top dollar for those sweet, artistic lines and those character faces full of expressions.
i mean look at jareds expressn. It screams….look at me. accept me. feel my pain.
and commanders, you can see the, just from how he is drawn, that the drawer took hours and days out of his life to make him *kiss* peeeeeeerrffeeeeect.
(:
I can’t remember how I stumbled onto this page, but this is incredibly entertaining, and I don’t really do comics. (If that doesn’t sound like a compliment, give yourself one that does and imagine me agreeing…I don’t do compliments much either.)
Since you held your brother to his offer for drawing the comic, you should also have him color it too…Fair is fair. Besides, I want to see if his coloring skill matches his drawing skill.
Dammit, Mid! You took the word right outta my lips! XDDDDD
So the next time there’s a fridge in a panel of the comic… Will we see a tiny version of this drawing? :p
That would be… completely awesome.
Just wanted top say that over the last several hours I read all of these, and I am looking forward to the next one
This is so sweet, actually, on several levels, both your bro’s comics debut and Jared’s hopeful, clueless, and proud expression. The Commander: Greatest Dad (and Dad figure) EVER. <3 <3 <3
That is totally adorable.
That would be adorable. Jared’s picture up on Commander’s fridge right next to a spelling test and shark finger painting.
