Comic
#021
'Saving Private Drummond'
was completed
26/09/05.
This
comic is very
long and needed
some 'special' details
which, combined with organising the
renewal of KK.Com
meant that the comic
took waaaay longer
than intended.
The
comic was
inspired by the
reaction to the
fanbase of the
undignified axing of
Ryan Drummond
(Sonic) and the other
voice artists from
the Adventure series
of games to Sonic
Heroes by SEGA
(the V.O.As from
Sonic X are now to be
used). The rabid
response of the
fanbase at this (on
TSS) is parodied in
this particular comic.
Hence
'Saving Private (Ryan) Drummond'
Satire
baby, satire...
Alzari
has many
stories relating to
Godzilla and various
street vendors.
The
irony with this
comic is that the
'voices' have changed
as this is the first
comic to use the
comic style speech
font as the standard
font of Arial.
Angelus
remarks he
thought this comic was
a 'storyline' one as
it seems to pick up
from the end of the
last Sonic/Amy/Redux
Rabble comic
#015: 'The Alleged
Legend of Angelus'.
Another
one of
AAUK's many WWE references in SW - the Master Hand
makes
reference to Carlito Carribean Cool.
Carlito is forever
judging people on 'coolness' and always carries an
apple.
The
apple was drawn freehand.
There
are at least
10 new sprite edits for Sonic in this comic.
A third of the entire
presentation.
AAUK
hates the bits
in Orangina.
Amy
has two sprite
edits and Frost one.
This
comic contains
the first - to my knowledge -
Master Hand sprite
edit. Which is the
hand pointing with a single finger.
"The
Future's Bright,
The Future's Orange"
is the slogan of the
Orange mobile phone
company.
Did
you notice Amy
lose her voice all
of a sudden?
What
Alzari is holding
in
his hand is the
traditional UK form
when you are axed
from your job: the
dreaded so called
'Pink Slip'.
The
Chris sprite is
Megaman edit.
AAUK
refuses point
blank to do a whole
sheet of them.
The
'zoomed out'
night scene had
the characters at
30% their base size.
Traditionally
sprites
on SW are increased
in size to 120%. With
the exceptions of the
Master Hand (0%)
and Rouge (150%).
The
palm tree
leaves are drawn
on. As is the non-red
elements of the fire.
The
final sequence
is a parody of the
anime 'Excel Saga'.
The
Episode 21 and
'Today's
Experiment...'
sections are
screencaps.
The
middle section
was created by
Echo Hawk who does
Japanese and it is
actually accurate.
Dreadknux
of TSS did
indeed aprove the
draft script of this
comic. As AAUK sent
him it to combat his
frustration with the
TSS users FURY!!!!
Contrary
to some
bitching that occured on the sonicanime.net
message board at the time; Chris
was not portrayed as
homosexual in this comic.
He was merely
portrayed in his
'super clingy' mode. |
