PERPLEX THE ODDS: part 2

I’m trying my best to carve a cohesive narrative out of all this madness. Dann’s obsession with opposing forces of Action Figures mystifies me, yet I’m strangely drawn to this black hole of Nerdiness, an irresistible force of nature, from which not even light itself can escape.

On a side note I’ve been experimenting with different tools for inking some things I like some things I Dislike but in the next few weeks somethings might start to look different im trying to find something I’m happy with that doesn’t take too much more time.
thanks

I try to indulge Dann as often as possible, and when he began to wax rhapsodic about the Heroclix phenomenon, I tried my best to remain respectful. If you’re not familiar with the concept, it’s a luxurious blend of action-figure shame crossed with the vagina-repellent of tabletop gaming. But I’m not here to judge. I’m here to watch the carnage. Like NASCAR, but more inhalers and fewer boobs.

The FNG

Introducing a new character is something we haven’t done before, so we approached the situation with the kind of prudence you’d expect from two webcomic pioneers.  We compiled MOUNTAINS of data from google analytics, site comments, and quotes from homeless people that scream at us on our way to the bag and bored offices.  From all of this, we gleaned a few key points that helped us make informed decisions on what shape the ‘FNG’ would take:
 
1.He should be a robot
2. Asian Porn.
 
Aaaaaaaand that’s about it.  Hmm.  On second thought, it appears as if our criteria for perfecting Eric’s character may be a little skewed.  Oh well.  As long as he’s under warranty, and doesn’t get Cyborg-spooge on everything, I guess we can keep him.

REFRIGERATOR WARS

Some of the names we entertained before settling on today’s title:

-Dumpster Wars

-Ultimate Garbage Warrior

-Trash-sassins

-Keeping Up with the Kar-trashians

-Slop Donkeys

And I think that sums it up. But I will tread a slight bit further and say that, for me, the best part is the imaginary value they place upon these not-valuable valuables.  “ehh, what’s that, a broken snow shovel handle?  Yeah, that’ll fetch about 25$”  SURE IT WILL.  I can hardly get my checkbook out fast enough.

Somewhere in the deep recesses of the Jacob Javitz center, I realized that NYCC was, for me at least, more about the games than anything else.  I mean sure, I got to meet Actor/Director Clark Gregg (squeee!), and finally got around to picking up Morrison’s ‘New X-Men’ but all that paled in comparison to the tasty delights the triple-A publishers were parading around.  GTA 3 on the
iPad?  Halo: CE?  Darkness 2? (You had to be 17 to even get IN the booth!) Star Wars: KOTOR with a REALISTIC release date?  We need to shift the focus of this comic over a few degrees this week…

I’ll have more on NYCC (belated, but gimme a break here…) in the next few days, and be sure to follow me on twitter @Ian_Face for my nerd shirt of the day! (#30nerdshirts) See you next week!
