But to every other sprite comic maker who feels the need to have an author character, especially one that hangs down from the ceiling, um. Though it obviously teases Bob and George concepts, I sincerely have nothing but respect for the granddaddy of sprite comics. Well, baby steps I guess.Īnd Comic 217 uses Pong to poke fun at sprite comics. Thicke his own domain name, though the site still resides on Tripod. Update: The agency apparently sprung the seven or eight bucks and finally got Mr. This strangely saddens me, and then saddens me further when I realize I'm pitying a guy with much more money in the bank than I've got. Alan, I'm guessing that you're not a "computer person" and have no idea how badly you're getting screwed. Complete with the pop-up ads! Worse, it appears he's paid an ad agency to create and maintain this site, which frankly doesn't look very professional. Repeat: ALAN THICKE DOES NOT HAVE HIS OWN DOMAIN NAME, BUT INSTEAD HAS A TRIPOD MEMBER SITE. Side note: Alan Thicke's official web page is a Tripod site. Plus it had photos of Roger Ebert and Alan Thicke, each from their official websites. "Random Humor" Comic 216 contained a couple of Karnov items, a GB Link, a message board "rolleyes" smiley, and a Foot Soldier from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3: The Manhatten Project. The second storybreak week had a number of weird references: Me is clever.Ĭomic 126 & 127 feature a SMB1 Goomba and Crono from Squaresoft's Chrono Trigger.īunny & Chick Playland (Comics starting about 130) sometimes shows a mountainous background, which is an altered version of a backdrop from Blaster Master. In Comic 85 Radd orders a "strong one" and gets a Megaman power-up. Why she's altered? Um, I don't really have a reason, other than doodling. is "imported" from games.Ĭomic 71 has a background starring a shopkeeper from Milon's Secret Castle, the TAT guy from RPG World, and a slightly altered Marin from Link's Awakening. In Comics 58-61, Radd and Bogey order "food" from Itty Bitty, and get Mario power-ups, specifically a Starman from SMB1 and a Mushroom from SMB2 (USA). That said, after 300+ comics, the video game and pop culture references have piled up a bit.Ĭomic 47 has a waterfall backdrop swiped from the Bubbleman Stage of Megaman 2 by Capcom. The other 99% of the graphics you see in the strip and all of the story's characters are my own creation and property. They're included mostly for the sake of humor, or in-jokes in the background. Now to list all the "cameos." Basically, here's my catalogue of all the graphics NOT created by me. He also made that little sword guy that's appeared in the comic occasionally. The comic viewer was partially inspired by my brother Dave, who figured out a couple of HTML tricks to help make it possible. This site and its comics were created by me, Dan Miller.
