The Insane Asylum (Updated 12-29-08)

Okay, yeah, my first venture into the world of sprite comics. Some comics may not make sense unless you've played EarthBound, but meh.

Bob and George! ^^
As the Doc stated in Pokechu's topic, it was the first real sprite comic created. Plus, it kicks ass.
Read it. Love it. It'll consume your soul 8)

Did you make the culter sprites yourself or are they from ShadowScar Kirby aswell?

Double Posts are A-OK in Sprite Comic Topics for obvious reasons.

Great stuff, looks great and is quite funny. ^^ Keep it up.

Ditto to Oakster. I had a hunch you'd be able to pull off some witty gags with this. You seem to be able to do it on the fly at TT :p

Keep 'em coming :)
 
Heh, that's pretty good. The music rocked.

Anyway... last one for a week. Going to the beach Saturday, need to prepare.

That pesky 4th wall's always getting away. If only we had some meddling kids and their dumb dog too!
 
Okay... let's get some updates here, huh?

#6 - I Can't Use Golden Sun Backgrounds Anymore

#8 - Out of the Blue

Now, for number 9... X Marx the Spot. This may make more sense after playing the Milky Way Wishes segment of Kirby Super Star/Kirby's Fun Pak, but whatever.

Loved that Pokemon comic. Would've been even more funny if the kid had tried to catch the cultist, tho ^^

What's this stuff about "Kirby's Fun Pack"? Please tell me that was a change from the "Super Star" title and not the original Japanese name... o.O

I played some Kirby Super Star with my friend Keri during my trip but our bloody save got erased before we could even attempt Revenge of Metaknight or Milkyway Wishes. We'd just finished collecting every single piece of treasure too! Stupid old cart battery... ;__;
 
Kirby's Fun Pak is the European name of Super Star.

And I thought about the kid trying to catch the cultist, but I wanted to keep it a manageable length. It would mean at least 2 - 3 more panels, and it seemed too long for me. Meh. Thanks for your feedback, though. ^^

Yay for Mr. Saturn! DING! XD

Like I said on TT, that new comic was awesome. Where the hell did you get that font style? I want it for myself! :wink:

ROFL! Classic ^__^

I recently saw that surgical DS game to buy. I'd known about it from awhile back but seeing it actually out and on the shelves was scary. Has anyone actually played it to see what it's like?

And what game was that katana kid thing from?

Oh hey, just noticed something. Did you really mean to write "Sirius" Valley? ;)
 
Yes.

Yes, I did.

I did that with the intention of pulling off a Hitchhiker's Guide reference, although I can't remember the specifics at the moment.

I love you and your comic; mostly the comic ^^

You haven't disappointed me once with this. Whether that just adds pressure or not, you deserve all the praise you can get. It's too bad this couldn't be a standard, advertisized sprite comic because I think it'd do awesome. But that would probably kill the creativity and funness of the thing, eh? Either way, keep up the great work, TBA :D
 
Heheheh, thanks. That means a lot.

And I kill myself enough over meeting the once-a-week deadline as it is. I can't imagine what I would do if it was a standard comic. X_x

*Snickers and pokes* Check out the latest main site update, particularly the bottom sentence of the Full Story. Probably would've been nice to ask you if I could use your comic first, but meh. You'll live :wink:

Sometimes I wonder what you'd do if I actually went and changed my avatar.

There would be much tears and cursing :cry:

... Then I'd spend a good five minutes trying to discover a way to taunt your new avater :p
 
I love these comics, the jokes are always fresh and interesting. The cultists are just superb characters, a classic in the making.
