The Adventures of Popcorn Man

[JasonDoomsblade]

The Adventures of Popcorn Man was a simple comic me and a few friends of mine used to draw. It began as those short comics you see in newspapers; like Peanuts, For Better or For Worse, etc. As we went on with it, our cast of characters grew, from just one stick figure (Popcorn Man), to about an estimated 30 some others. All characters are copywrited, so don't try anything.

Chef Meatball reminds me of the Kool-aid man...

Definately, I thought that too. :smallbiggrin:

Also, the fish is my favourite.

[JasonDoomsblade]

WOW! I totally didn't see that coming!

[Bayar]

You defile the sacret art of skateboarding ! DIE !!!!

Also, the cat looks a little fat :smallbiggrin:

But you have my curiosity.

[Nameless]

Does he us his popcorn powers to fight crime??? :smalleek:

[JasonDoomsblade]

He's supposed to be fat.

Does he us his popcorn powers to fight crime??? :smalleek:

You'll see why he's called that later.

[Ichneumon]

I like the way they are drawn.

[JasonDoomsblade]

I like the way they are drawn.

Thank you. I like the way I draw them too. Anyway, here's another group of cast members.
http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd224/JasonDoomsblade/PopcornManCast2.png
And now to answer some questions that I'm sure might pop up.
The Creator is supposed to represent myself, while The Evil Engineer and Prof. Buttersworth represent 2 of my friends.
Just because we look like we wear clothes doesn't mean every one else is nude. Characters with clothing represent people I know in real life.
No we are not bald.

Ok then, the first comic will be posted sometime today.

[JasonDoomsblade]

Well, sorry to keep you all waiting but here is Comic One at last. I'll post part 2 tommorow.

http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd224/JasonDoomsblade/Justanotherday.png

Ok, let the commenting and critisism begin.

[Lyinginbedmon]

Hehe enchanted appendix :smallbiggrin:

[Dallas-Dakota]

Heheh, funny...

Is it just me or are there just a mighty lot of webcomics popping up on these boards?(nothing bad ment with that comment)

[Nameless]

This is so awesome...

[Lyinginbedmon]

Heheh, funny...

Is it just me or are there just a mighty lot of webcomics popping up on these boards?(nothing bad ment with that comment)

It's not just you, I may be partially responsible

[Almighty Salmon]

Heheh, funny...

Is it just me or are there just a mighty lot of webcomics popping up on these boards?(nothing bad ment with that comment)

There are Webcomics, and there are ABR Spinoffs.

Or are they technically the same thing? :smallconfused:

[Omicroncubed]

Good comic, Jason :smallbiggrin:

Well the ABR spinoffs are webcomics, but they are related to the ABR so maybe they should be here... or in the webcomic section... or maybe...

Heck I don't know, my head hurts now :smallsigh:

[Lyinginbedmon]

Okay, let me ask this: Are the webcomics here being hosted on a different, dedicated site? Are they being used to gain finance?

No? Then if they're ABR-related, I say they go here

[JasonDoomsblade]

Thanks for the comments everyone. Unfortunately I have just come down with some odd virus, so next comic will be later than planned. Sorry.

[Sneak]

He has an 18 hole golf course in his house? O.o

Or is it just one hole? Over and over again?

[yoshi927]

He has an 18 hole golf course in his house? O.oSweet deal. And you can tell that Jason knows golf. You always mess up at the last second, if not earlier.

[[Insert Neat Username Here]]

The golf course in the house is interesting, but my favorite part of this page is "ARGH! My Enchanted Appendix!"

[Sneak]

Sweet deal. And you can tell that Jason knows golf.

Heh.


You always mess up at the last second, if not earlier.

Isn't that kind of a given that's true for everything? Either you mess up at the end or before the end? :smallamused:

@^: Yep, definitely the best part.

[JasonDoomsblade]

Heh.



Isn't that kind of a given that's true for everything? Either you mess up at the end or before the end? :smallamused:


Yeah, but most of the time, Popcorn Man screws up in a funny ironic way. I'll remake some of my hand drawn comics onto Inkscape and show you what I mean.

[yoshi927]

Heh.



Isn't that kind of a given that's true for everything? Either you mess up at the end or before the end? :smallamused:

@^: Yep, definitely the best part.Well, you can not mess up at all. My point is that the better your round is, the more likely you are to get x over par on the last hole. (where x is an ungodly number of +2 to length)

[JasonDoomsblade]

Comic 2! It's a bit short but I added something else aswell.
http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd224/JasonDoomsblade/Youdonttechnicallyneedit.png

I forgot to mention this earlier, but each of the The Critters [The Bug, Worm, etc] can grow to a 10 foot tall version of themselves. It makes them seem more menacing. And here is what they would look like.
http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd224/JasonDoomsblade/path4856.png

Oh dear that font is a bit small isnt it? Sorry.

[hyperfreak497]

I was about to comment about the font size. So, do you plan on enlarging it? I want to know what it says. I believe I can make out the word "kidney"...

[JasonDoomsblade]

I was about to comment about the font size. So, do you plan on enlarging it? I want to know what it says. I believe I can make out the word "kidney"...

Yeah I plan to fix it tomorrow.

[Sneak]

I can read some of it if I zoom my screen in, but I still can't make out a lot of it.

HALP!

http://www.geekosophical.net/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/halp-cat.jpeg

[JasonDoomsblade]

All fixed.:smallsmile:
http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd224/JasonDoomsblade/Youdonttechnicallyneedit-1.png

Also, how do I make a link go to a single post? Like how Mechafox does the archive for ABR? And how do I make said link say something instead of the site name?

[Lyinginbedmon]

[URL=Your URL here]Your text here[/URL}

[Omicroncubed]

That was a good comic jason :smallsmile:

Also to a single post, click on the post number and it should bring you to something like this (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3563180&postcount=29)

And I do belive Lying just gave you the other one.

[JasonDoomsblade]

[URL=Your URL here]Your text here[/URL}

Thanks for that.:smallsmile:

[JasonDoomsblade]

Comic Three ya'll. Sorry for the enormous wait, but I had College Applications to fill out. Also, introducing the Limitless Henchman type: The Magic Man Death Bot!
http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd224/JasonDoomsblade/BestPrankEver.png

A cookie to those who can take a guess to what Magic Man's Mug says.
HINT: It's #1 [insert word here].

[Lyinginbedmon]

That death effect must have certainly taken ages :smalleek:

Hmm...is it #1 Henchman? No, maybe #1 Evil Genius?

[Omicroncubed]

Good one Jason :smallbiggrin:

Also Lying that's not even hard to do.

Do it like this:
First take the correct tool and make a star or something like so:
http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q105/Lambdaomega/1.jpg

Then just drag where that arrow was pointing and you have it there
http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q105/Lambdaomega/2.jpg

Just many of those on top of each other, not to mention you can add as many as those things as you want.

[Lyinginbedmon]

Making the shape isn't hard, that I know, but the overlapping of I-don't-know-how-many of them would cause some significant lag for me

[Omicroncubed]

Well that's a problem we all have once in a while (but I mostly lag when I'm zooming in and there's background)

[Malfunctioned]

#1 Wizard?

[JasonDoomsblade]

Hmm...is it #1 Henchman? No, maybe #1 Evil Genius?

One of those is rather close.

[Omicroncubed]

#1 evildoer? :smallconfused:

[JasonDoomsblade]

#1 evildoer? :smallconfused:

Colder.

If no body can guess it by the time comic 4 is up, The person who gets the closest will win aforementioned cookie.

[Lyinginbedmon]

#1 Evil Mastermind?

[JasonDoomsblade]

#1 Evil Mastermind?

DING DING DING!

Just in time too. Here's comic 4.
http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd224/JasonDoomsblade/AustinPowersismyMontyPython.png

[Omicroncubed]

That was funny :smallbiggrin:

[Dallas-Dakota]

Love it! Especially the last scene.

[Squark]

Very funny. :smallfrown: :smallfrown: :smallfrown: Stupid Exploding computers stopping artists from making comics...

[JasonDoomsblade]

I'M BACK BABY!

http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd224/JasonDoomsblade/ARealNumberWouldbeBetter.png

[Mr_Saturn]

yay, a comic didn't die. :smallbiggrin:

$17 isnt dividable by 5 either, should chose that much. :smalltongue:

[Omicroncubed]

Made me laugh :smallbiggrin:

And yay jason's back!

[Magioth]

i personally love the look of professor butterworth, but the fish is my favorite characters...

this is a good style to draw you comic, it reminds me of random doodles from my english lesson with yeril :smallamused:

[JasonDoomsblade]

New Comic. This one has the honor of being my 100th Photobucket Picture. Enjoy it. Part 2 and 3 to come today aswell.

Yeah, and one of his others was a joke from Austin powers. :smallbiggrin:

Still funny though.

Oh and *Javalin has a grenade attached*

[JasonDoomsblade]

The name of the comic was Austin Powers is my Monty Python. Pretty obvious really.

Comic 8.

Wow only one comment on the last comic? Comment more on this one.

[Lyinginbedmon]

Ah dimwitted minions, when will they ever go out of style :smallbiggrin:

[JasonDoomsblade]

Still only one comment? I hate you all. Except Lying, cuz he's the only one who comments.
http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd224/JasonDoomsblade/path9205.png

[Lyinginbedmon]

I can certainly see that being significantly more difficult :smalleek:

[JasonDoomsblade]

I can certainly see that being significantly more difficult :smalleek:

Its Sarcasm. But seriously, why doesn't anyone else comment?

Edit: Unless of course you were talking bout the comic and not of my remark, then yes, His job does seem more difficult.

[Mr_Saturn]

Its funny how the arms suddenly turn into legs when it evolves. Natural selection demands more legs!

I wouldn't call it evoving because he can go back and forth between forms.

I made a mistake in the last comic. My friend told me the Bug isn't actually that big when he morphs. He's actually more this size.

But yes, it does indeed appear to be the cavalry :smalltongue:

Comic!

Because even villainous insects get worried under the pressure of immediate doom :smallsmile:

[Bayar]

that guy skates with Tony Hawk ? Was he on the World Destruction Tour?

[JasonDoomsblade]

I think it's time for an Upgrade!
http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd224/JasonDoomsblade/ArtUpgrade.png

[Lyinginbedmon]

Ooh...sparkly :smallbiggrin:

[JasonDoomsblade]

I've been thinking about discontinuing this project. It gets tiresome making these comics and only having Lying actually comment on them. So I'm going to post one more comic with the art upgrade, and if only Lying is to post something, I'm gonna stop making comics.

[Lyinginbedmon]

Darn it, my god-like reputation isn't working!! :smallfrown:

[Szilard]

But I like this comic!

[Omicroncubed]

Yeah me too. :smallfrown: And I'm sure there are many more lurkers here.

I mean look at my comic: Mostly Lying, szilard and Bayar comment, but there are lurkers. I just know it.

[JasonDoomsblade]

Well here it is. My first fully Art Upgraded comic.

Edit: You ninja'd what I was gonna say.

[Mz. Jackal]

Are you one of those people? Because as far as I know, this is you're first post on AoPM.

Yes, I am one of those people. I read (and enjoy) all the comics on this site. I read remember, failing saves, endless, anti-heroes, AoPM, and all the other ones that I cannot remember the names....

[Lyinginbedmon]

Yay! I have a secret fan...that's like a secret admirer right? :smalltongue:

The colour choice is pretty good, and the artwork remains consistently great. I'd call this art upgrade a success!

[JasonDoomsblade]

Is that what I think it is?

Sorry for not commenting earlier, I actually like your comics, they are witty as well creative. I mean I've never seen a man use a hammer and a bomb in the form a piece of popcorn, before. Amazing! :biggrin:

http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd224/JasonDoomsblade/TheSHutupHorn.png

You won't get the joke unless you watch Blue Collar TV.

If you don't watch Blue Cllar TV the gag is:
One of the skits done on BC TV was The Shutup Horn. Bill Engvall was playing a salesman; advertising a product called (you guessed it) The Shutup Horn. What it did was, if you honk it at someone they lose their motor skills with only a 92% chance of permenant damage to their brain cells (lawl). So the joke was, Skatebot used the Shutup Horn on the Genie and it didn't work. SO he's gonna phone Bill Engvall and complain about the product.
