The italics mean he's singing, by the way.
This is my comic starring the little pink guy himself. I'm new to inkscape, so the art might not be that great all the time.

The Punch-line was a little weak, but hey. It's the first comic.

I want you to take a look at this picture:
http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/images/kirby/kirby.jpg

Notice that Kirby doesn't have quite as wide eyes as you give him. Otherwise, I think it can be good.

I don't want to sound too critical or anything, but don't you think taking Kirby as the main character of your comic feels somewhat like a rip-off?

Not just that, but it also could make the story weaker. We all know Kirby already, making his character uninteresting and character development harder, if not impossible.

Still, I'm not closed to the concept of this being a good comic. After all, we have only seen one comic so far.

I'll have a new comic up tomorrow, too tired to think up script.

Yes, at least in the comic's universe


Eyes look a bit too wide.

And I've never really been a fan of Kirby speaking in poyos.

I'll fix that in future comics, and he speaks in poios not "poyos".


I don't want to sound too critical or anything, but don't you think taking Kirby as the main character of your comic feels somewhat like a rip-off?

It doesn't really feel like a rip-off to me, and there will be other main characters eventually, at least one should be introduced by comic 5.


Not just that, but it also could make the story weaker. We all know Kirby already, making his character uninteresting and character development harder, if not impossible.

Still, I'm not closed to the concept of this being a good comic. After all, we have only seen one comic so far.

You know Kirby, but not this Kirby.

1. this comic takes place outside the traditional Kirby universe
2. there is an entire race of kirby's, it's not too far a stretch to think that more than one may end up being named Kirby.

Thank you all for your comments/critisism/questions.

2. there is an entire race of kirby's, it's not too far a stretch to think that more than one may end up being named Kirby.


So, the name of Kirby's race is Kirby. Individual kirbies can have different names, but the race as a whole is referred to as Kirby because of the one Exemplar of the race: Kirby.

I wonder if there was once a human named Human who epitomized all anyone could be...maybe this kirby could usurp Kirby and change the name of his entire race.

These first 2 comics were just to introduce Kirby and his love for hats, the plot will start developing more in the next few comics.

Questions, comments, that other one?

In related news: CONTEST!

This is a pretty simple one, I'm letting you guys, my readers, make the name for the cat. The person who's name I choose will get a cameo in the comic, and will be featured in the comic's First sig banner.

Dogmantra
2009-04-23, 07:47 PM
They're quite good.
The art's good, but the dialogue does need a little work.
I do like the idea of the guy on the phone understanding the cat.

May I suggest the very original name of Dr. McCat for the cat?

No, on second thoughts, how about Fedora? Ties in with the Hat theme nicely, and I just thought how awesome it would be to have a cat named Fedora.

*runs off to get another cat, just to call it Fedora*

By the way, the cat is a boy. The cat name contest will end this saturday at 12:00 p.m. EST, and I should have the comic that introduces the cat's name later that day, however you may not get your cameo until near comic 10.

Sorry about the lack of updates lately, I have been busy, but I do have some things to say.

1. There will be at least one comic up tomorrow, two if I have enough time/ if I can get my attention span to get in to one of It's stretchy moods.

2. The winner of the cat name contest is GrlumpTheElder, honorable mention goes to Dogmantra, but Fedora doesn't sound like a boy cat's name. Grlump will get both of his cameos by Wednesday at the latest.

3. I did get some things done this week though, I tweaked some of the characters a little and added in some of the subtle details that distinguish good artwork from pretty good artwork. These little tweaks will be shown in the next few comics.

I got to choose what to do for a project on the civil war in history, so I decided t do a comic about Lincoln's assassination. I figured it would make some interesting filler, so I will be posting the 3 parts of it today, tomorrow and Thursday, with the normal comic resuming on Friday.

I am aware of the door missing. In truth, the door was closed to signify a changing of scenes to where Booth is spying on Lincoln's party in the comic I will post today.

On that note here is part 2 of the project (http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/6507/project2n.png).

The friendship is a reference to Mortal Kombat. It is a certain kind of fatality that you can do (such as Sub-Zero making a snowman with the enemy). When you do it Shao Kahn Shang Tsung proclaims "FRIENDSHIP! FRIENDSHIP?", so yeah.

Pretty good, but the combat is a bit confusing. I would suggest making it a bit less cramped, and showing the characters preparing the actions (i.e. magic energy on hands) Also, what happened to Kirby's hat? :smallconfused:

So without further ado: A look into Rae's templates: 1- the blanks. (http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/8936/templates1c.png) These are the blank model's I've used to make every character in the comic so far, plus mouths for the goblins.

I did show the character's preparing, just alot of it was blocked by the star, also Kirby threw his hat.

Which is why I said that it was too cramped. :smallsmile: That, and you have a lot of characters in a small space.

Not too bad. I like the ending, it heavily implies that we will learn a bit about his history before the comic ends. It would have been nice if you showed the magic on-panel, though. It can get a bit confusing.

there are 2 explanations for the off panel magic
1) Kurt told Rae too restrain the man, Rae was shown casting, and in the next panel the man was wrapped in denim, it is a little obvious what happened.

2) the spell effect I envisioned at that particular point is a little too advanced for my skills at this point, and would have made the comic too long.

Also, is it just my monitor or does the comic look bad in full size?

Now I see the comic. Good comic.

How come Kirby didn't take his Waluigi hat back? Also, why would he has a Waluigi hat!? That's awesome! I want a hat like that!

Also, just a small nitpick: the hat is inaccurate. The Waluigi symbol on the hat should be yellow, with a thin black outline. Not purple. Just sayin'.

Answering your questions
1) Look at panel 7, Officer Kurt says that the guys from HQ are going to take the hat for further examination when they pick the guy.
2) he has a waluigi hat because that is the first hat the guy who took Kirby's hat grabbed when he was getting a hat to give to the guy.

Also, thanks, on further appearances I will fix the Waluigi hat.

1) Whoops. I guess I missed that. :smallredface:

2) Yes, but I meant "Why would Kirby have a hat like that?" I mean, you can't suck up Waluigi in Super Smash Bros. Brawl....Can you? :smalleek:

ALso, you don't have to fix it. It's just a little minor thing nobody even cares about expect for me a little.

I'll give you two answers to #2

2a: this is Kirby III that's Kirby the third, he inherited his father's hat collection and his Grandfather's hat collection, he is bound to have at least 1 of basically every nintendo character's headgear.

2b: because I felt like it.

In comic 13 "I know that but I his scent is in front of us"

From Ken: A hang glider, an auto-staff, and a lantern bot.
And from Rae: Many daggers, 2 claw blades, 5 tents, 5 chairs, a denim campfire, an electric proof denim Rain cover, 5 sleeping bags, (off panel, but mentioned) a cat bed and a dog bed. Anything i missed?

Here's comic 29 (http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/6043/12793004.png).

Not much to say about this one, except that the bullet did miss Trilby and embedded itself in the ceiling. We will see the rest of the Party post art upgrade/costume change in the next comic.

Here's comic 30 (http://img28.imageshack.us/img28/157/81357897.png)

Sorry it's late, I had it done on Tuesday, but my Inkscape crashed and couldn't find the auto-save. It ended up in the temp. internet folders.

And here's comic 31. (http://img512.imageshack.us/img512/7618/59057435.png)

OK, explanation time. The simple of it is that when Kirby absorbs someone, and spits them out willingly, Trilby gains a copy of their star, just in case it's needed. Also, Trilby has a maximum carrying capacity of five stars and three other objects. He currently has 2 stars (MJ and Abe Lincoln) and 2 other objects (Cat food and bowl) stored. So yeah, Trilby is not a normal cat.

Clearly this is the OOTS version of Weather Control (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0353.html), for I didn't notice the 10 minate wait time for the weather change to come in.:smalltongue:

Here's some filler (http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/3614/englishproject.png).

I had to write and illustrate a children's book for English class, and I did the illustrations in oots style. The book is based on a true story. I thought I'd share it.

Sorry about missing so many updates, but tennis, school, etc. has kept me busy

What's this, an update?

Yes it is.

Here's comic 33 (http://a.imageshack.us/img827/1791/11590798.png).

Next comic will be tomorrow or Thursday, I swear.

Ayup, Rae's out of the fight, and Shiz'Klar has been stabbed 3 times in the gut.

Uh-oh, that could be bad.

...if I may say, you kinda lack movement sometimes. Like, the first three panels are great, but the fourth and fifth, only one thing actually changes, and it looks odd. Same thing for the sixth and seventh.

You're still way better than I. XD

Yeah, when I reread this comic I wasn't happy with it either, I guess I was just in a rush, so I remade (http://a.imageshack.us/img404/9025/78478878.png) it.

*hands her a spear with an acid coated tip* There =D


I think I'm a little scared for Rae now.

If you're gonna get prodded by anybody to do something, might as well be a girl. If a guy prods a girl it's sexual harrasment, if a guy prods a guy it's gay, if a girl prods a girl it's lesbian, and if a girl prods a guy it's surprising but not unwelcome.

If it's a girl you aren't as likely go wrong =P

... still scared for him too =(
