And everyone died?
Well, I guess I can focus on Java Jaguar for a while. I mean, there’s no way they could have survived that, right?
We shall see.
I would like to thank whoever created the “rubble” brush that comes with Clip Studio Paint Pro for saving me about twenty hours of inking on this page.
Also, I award 5 spoiler Kick Points to Vadan, who I think was the first person in the comments to mention firing the narrator back in Enemy Lines #9. Which, of course is the best way to get rid of an unruly, disembodied employee. The only way really. Kicking can’t solve everything. If someone else thinks they beat him to it, let me know in the comments.
Also, wanted to share this true tale of Kickman, in response to the left-footed kick from last week. If you’ve ever read the “About Kickman” page, you know that Kickman is based on a real-life person. My buddy, Jason, played on our high school soccer team and was also the football kicker. He was just never very good at kicking with his left. So, one day, the assistant soccer coach took him aside for an entire practice, and drilled with him to kick with his left leg only. At the next game, Jay walked up to the coach on the sideline and said, “I’m going to score.” The coach took one look at him then subbed him in. Within a few seconds, he broke for the goal, received a pass, and rather than juggle it for an extra second to set up for his right foot, just fired a shot into the goal with his left. And kicked the ball through the net. True story. And you wonder how the legend of Kickman began…
Did even umbrella boy die in the crumbly mess?
Have my popcorn ready while waiting for next week!
It always seems to work for Wile E. Coyote. Giant boulder hits umbrella, yet he’s fine in the next scene…
I must be blind. I didn’t see him until you mentioned him. Is his name Waldo?
Well I just noticed “Mic check” so there’s that.
Question: Do you owe Lucas or Disney a check for using that dialog bit?
I owe them 30% of the gross ticket sales of this episode. So… yeah.
I’m sorry, this might be a generation thing but where did the “mic check” bit come from?
That’s just the narrator trying to say some extra words to make sure his text box protects everybody all the way to the end of the panel.
For Swimsquad, the entier Mike check line is lifted from the first Star Wars movie, now call episode 1. It’s a moment where Han and Luke are dressed in storm trooper gear and trying to pass but fail bigly at it.
I had a long post full of puns, but it seems to have been lost in the ether.
will just say that i’m glad that narrative justice is still a thing in the kickman world.
Um, I think the Evil Narrator was about to be balanced out by the Narrator Standards body. That mic check was Good Narrators, wasn’t it? Which makes cancelling the contract suddenly a bad thing, as the Good Narrators might have been useful.
