Strip Slays 2, the Best Thread Strikes Back

[MReav]

Rising to Oracle Hunter's challenge:


Arbitrary Rule! Whomever begins the next Strip Slay thread must, in addition to linking back to this one, start it with a new Slay that will set the tone for the next 50 pages!

Choose wisely, and you will gain Internet Immortality; choose poorly and you will be no better than Mookie :smallamused:

Wow... the number of times we have messed with those panels... im surprised we never came up with that...

[MReav]

The original idea was to have him blow up the cathedral, but this just called to me.

[Oracle_Hunter]

Excellent! And remember, the original thread can be found here (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=37014).

[Paragraph]

This is classic. It's simple and elegant, because you didn't even change the words; all of those panels have been used already, but the new combination proves that the possibilities are endless.

Spanning the bridge to the newest comics with the last panel. Great first slay, I'd say.

[MReav]

Well, I had to change Jayden's robes to look like Dominic's sweather.

[Phase]

I was just about to mention how seamlessly you had done that. Bravo, old chap.

[Winterwind]

This one's been sitting unfinished in my computer for months now, finally I decided to listen to that nagging voice in my head and finally finish it.

I hope it is displayed correctly; it is far bigger than any slay I have ever done before.

http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee90/Winterwind83/StripSlays/20080727.jpg

Some notes:
- I take the last panel as proof of the interchangeability of Mookie's characters. Because in fact, that's not Luna at all - that's the orc girl from Shadows with her ears slightly changed. I see no difference.
- Yes, I know the dark-red words in the background do not recreate the original quote exactly. I had to pad the word baloons out a bit to make them fit at least somewhat with the bright-red translation. The part which is not from the original is utter gibberish.
- I am not satisfied with how the transition to Dominic turned out at all, but none of the Paint Shop Pro effects produced the results I hoped it would. I hope it doesn't ruin the slay.
- Originally, I intended to post it right after the strip where the first two rows of panels are from, before Mookie had a chance to show us what Luna actually saw, but I quickly realised I had no chance to finish this on time. At least not without some truly fanatical dedication.

Am I alone in not being able to see any of these?

I couldn't, but now I can.

Praise Dominius, I was blind and now can See! :smalltongue:

[Bryn]

It seems that Imageshack experienced a temporary failure today, in which everything on it went down. Fortunately, it's back up, so Slays hosted on Imageshack can now once again be seen.

Ahem.

It was due to those dastardly fourth-casters, befouling Lord Dominus's holy work. Yes.

[Mewtarthio]

Nope, still can't see them.

[Winterwind]

I couldn't see them before. Later, I could see them; now, for some reason, I can see the snowball, but the Garfield strip followed Garfield and vanished again.

[Bryn]

I suggest refreshing the page, which should reload all the images and thus load the Imageshack pictures. The snowball is an animated gif, so it might take longer to load fully.

Chances are, though, that you've already done that, in which case my advice is pretty much useless :smallamused:

[SnowballMan]

Well that will teach me not to hack into... er...

Image Shack was down? How shocking. Hopefully that won't happen again.

http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/5634/sssbm037sf5.png
Probably used too much mavpel syrup.

(hopefully everyone can see images now, side note, would think the snowball GIF would load the fastest, since it's only 22kb)

Snowballman, have I seen you at the Glue Factory before, or am I thinking of someone else?

I'll let him answer that, but have I seen you in the Glue Factory? My name is Randi there, what's yours? (I did that "Still Alive" one)

[SnowballMan]

Snowballman, have I seen you at the Glue Factory before, or am I thinking of someone else?
Uh oh. The dead horses are migrating! I guess you didn't see my response to Enlong last thread. But yes, I am the same SnowballMan as on Bob and George.


If you were a woman, I would ask you to bear my children. :smalltongue:
Why do you only want women to feed your children to bears?

[FoE]

Argh! I am undone by my shoddy spelling!

[Nerd-o-rama]

Er, no, "bear" is the correct spelling, it just results in terrible puns.

Baring your children would be a felony.

[FoE]

I don't know what's real anymore. :smallfrown:

Oh wow, a slay that actually is character relevant (http://www.dominic-deegan.com/view.php?date=2003-01-15). Nice :smallbiggrin:

Can I ask how we get the text format used?

[Kyeudo]

Can I ask how we get the text format used?

Write left handed.

[SnowballMan]

Can I ask how we get the text format used?

Depends on how anal-retentive you want to be.

Total : Cut and paste each letter from other text.
Semi-Total : Save about a dozen of the most text intensive strips. Chances are the words you need is in one of them. Cut and paste. Obscure words, use above.
Partial : Use the Shonen Punk v2 font. It's close enough.
Not at all : Use Arial font. Tell people you are calling attention to your changes the way Mookie calls attention to even the smallest pun.

@Oracle_Hunter Given that link, can you tell which of the above methods I use?

Yeah, well. You might have expected something else, but this is my first slay in a duel that might very well span days, and I don't want to end up having shot my bolt on the first one.

However I'll go to work as soon as possible. "As soon as possible" meaning "right when I get this motherf... external hard drive I've got all the DD strips on to operate".
Really, does anybody else here own a TrekStor HDD? If so, do you intend to assassinate everybody involved in manufacturing it too?

This slay, simple as it may be, actually has a story. I just listened to this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49E0jG7kpcs). Then, I imagined the following to happen:
As Dominic sniffs at Luna's bed linen, suddenly, this song starts playing, the dwarf appears out of nowhere and runs up to Dominic, punches him in the balls, then simply runs off again, leaving a startled and hurting Dominic.
Actually, this can be done whenever Dominic behaves in a generally dumb or pathetic manner or like the jerk he is.
Which means the opportunities are basically endless. :smallbiggrin:

[Winterwind]

There never was one.
If you mean strip slays and not strips though, your memory is a little deficient.Yeah, strip slay is what I meant; I disagree about the part with the memory though. :smallwink:

[AmberVael]

Okay, so I was thinking about how Dominic Deegan could get even more ridiculous, and so I made this strip slay:

http://www.dominic-deegan.com/comic.php?id=1603&save-as=20070718.jpg

Oh wait... damn. That's just the comic. :smallyuk:

[Winterwind]

Eh, it surely couldn't ever be that bad, Vael. Sheesh. Talk about exaggeration.
Next time you'll tell us that Dominic likes to imagine himself as some kind of He-Man on lameness-enhancing drugs, or something.

[Johnny Blade]

Oh, by the way:

The next slay will not be about punching Dominic in the balls. I promise.

Clearly I am out numbered by a superior foe. But, how then to proceed? Do I play the part of the cliched underdog, to suffer through the contest only to win at the end?

Perhaps a villain? "I cannot be said to be a flattering honest man, it must not be denied but I am a plain-dealing villain."

Or perhaps both? "Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate."

The best part is where his arms are and therefore hands presumably are in the first panel... it's as though the dramatic comeback is only moments after the initial appearance! And that's a sequence of events we can only wish had actually happened.

After all, it is pretty creepy when the protagonist visits the mindscape of a married, reportedly bisexual man to make him see the truth (http://www.dominic-deegan.com/view.php?date=2004-05-04), and then said man ends up homosexual (http://www.dominic-deegan.com/view.php?date=2005-11-09), deeply in love with his "savior" (http://www.dominic-deegan.com/view.php?date=2005-10-27), and fantasizing about him in broad daylight (http://www.dominic-deegan.com/view.php?date=2008-01-03).

That... that was BEAUTIFUL. It just fit so well I assumed you'd done heavy editing of the lyrics, but...

Also, "Mookie running through my veins" sounds even more like a drug reference than "Jesus running through my veins". Which, you know, makes sense, since the potent drug Mapvel is used to make the more-potent Deegandrug, runs heavily through the Dominus's veins, and really could be considered distilled Mookie if you're willing to hurt your brain a little...

I did a few slays using the "Dominic! Luna! Come quick! Something's wrong with ____!" panel and the reaction shots. I think Turcano did it first, with Damaske's severed head. I don't think anyone ever used that particular panel in there, though.

Wow...great idea to do a music slay like this.

Thanks. It would have been even better if Dominic spent any time in hallways. Or wearing the jacket that he wore at the beginning of Snowsong. (Seriously, that was ridiculously similar to MJ's.)

Well, I like it too. However, I think I prefer Dex.


(though Johnny does present an excellent case for the Angry Dwarf). :smallbiggrin:
Oh, and that one, obviously.





And, of course, a new slay:

If you think I'm running out of ideas now, well, you might just happen to be not totally wrong.

However, here is the byproduct of my slaying so far, originally motivated by my realization that Dominic Deegan regrettably is not child-friendly (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNqiSkd1M6k). I decided to change this so younger audiences could share in our joy.

"Siggy had to go to bed early." - I ROFLed, I really did. Awesome ending to an awesome slay.

Also I agree with Face of Evil, the Felinity sequel was great. More sequals please! :smallredface::smallsmile:

[Gez]

As much as I like seeing the creepy Luna re-used, it might have worked better with the original version (http://www.dominic-deegan.com/view.php?date=2007-05-26) of that panel. :smallwink:

[Paragraph]

A bit earlier it was asked if I read this thread; I do, all incarnations of it, and it is actually QUITE a bit funnier than DD itself. I stopped reading that for the puns really early and instead read it for the plot, believe it or not :smallbiggrin:. That makes the occasional strip that really IS funny all the more enjoyable - and Strip Slays themselves, too.

Believe me, I thought the same whenever I opened one of the files and worked on the slay.
I see.

Also, @ everyone who has announced my victory:
Well, thanks a lot. :smallsmile:
However, it's not like I wouldn't appreciate it, but the last time I thought I was in a good position to win the slay-off, SnowballMan nonchalantly came along and beat me at my own game (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showpost.php?p=5027231&postcount=123).

Words of wisdom.

So, all the slays I did up to now. In chronological order, although I placed the sequel and remix after their respective precursors.
I also left the "something's wrong" slay out because I can't shake the feeling that it was done before. Oh, the slay I did for Face Of Evil isn't part of the list either, of course.

This slay, simple as it may be, actually has a story. I just listened to this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49E0jG7kpcs). Then, I imagined the following to happen:
As Dominic sniffs at Luna's bed linen, suddenly, this song starts playing, the dwarf appears out of nowhere and runs up to Dominic, punches him in the balls, then simply runs off again, leaving a startled and hurting Dominic.
Actually, this can be done whenever Dominic behaves in a generally dumb or pathetic manner or like the jerk he is.
Which means the opportunities are basically endless. :smallbiggrin:

Johnny, if for no reason other then the groin punches.

*cough*

What?

[Mauve Shirt]

I vote for Johnny.

[Fangly]

Johnny Blade.



But I'd like to mention MReav's slay because for the first time it showed poor Dex happy. Time after time you bastards force him to witness terrible terrible things. But MReav had the courage to finally give him some joy. I applaud you MReav! May others follow your example and let Dex be happy.

[Morty]

It's a tough decision, but Johny's "family friendly" slay makes him win this contest by being so absolutely insane. It's a truly glorious defeat for SnowballMan, though.

[FoE]

SnowballMan's last Slay was epic, but I give this contest to Johnny for sheer quantity of laughs.

[Phase]

You know, I'm not voting...

*Punches winner in groin*

Self-Evident.

Although I agree with Gez, the original Luna probably would have been better.

Heh, I thought it was the original Luna. I just used that slay because I didn't feel like searching for the strip. Then I had to search for it anyways. Silly me.

http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u282/teddifunken/laxitive-1.jpg

You know, that is better.

The winner of this contest does not interest me. You both produced slays (War in Heck and the Shakespeare one) that have become my favorites to date.

[Zocelot]

TigerHunter, it says you are from Chicago. Shouldn't you be voting twice? At least?

Now, I pretty much expected Johnny Blade to win. In fact, I almost conceded after the War in Heck. But still... not a single vote? ouch

*Punches winner in groin*

It's just one of those times when although the two contestants are almost equal, one of them happens to just have the edge with most of the demographic. If we voted percent-wise, I'm sure it'd end something around 55-45 or 60-40 at most.

Both of you had amazingly good slays. Thank you for that!

Now, to be truthful, I thought it was looking quite good for me myself, if only because my output was higher.
However, the result surprised me, too.
I was basically sure that I could actually name 4 people who'd vote for you. Only Gez has done it. :smallconfused: (Although, not one of the remaining 3 has voted for me either.)


@Senior Blade - An entertaining contest, my hat off to you. <bows> Enjoy your victory. You sir, have earned it.
Thanks a lot. And deserved or not, it was definitely a hard-won victory.
I also hope you want a chance to get even in the future. (You know, some time in the future. When we've both recharged and all.)

How exactly do you make a Strip Slay? I'm trying to make one right now, and my weaksauce Print Screen onto Paint and cut/paste skills aren't working very well in this regard.
So, Paint is all you have then?
If so, you should get GIMP (http://www.gimp.org/) or another free program to edit the strips.
I don't use it though, so I can't give advice about that.


I'll lick any sonuvabitch in this joint.
I look forward to seeing if you can back that up.

Just by the way, could it be that I owe my victory to you? I remember that I found the 300 parody that inspired the War In Heck through a webcomic, and something tells me it was Legendary.

Answered your own question.

Can't be. I'm pretty sure I never did a 300 joke for Legendary.

I did do this slay a while back, though.

http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g144/AngryBalrog/caketown.png

Which was inspired by this YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNqiSkd1M6k)

[Gez]

Well, I use right-click->copy image myself, but maybe not all browsers have this incredibly advanced feature. (You could also save the picture, but I don't bother with this.)

[Winterwind]

How exactly do you make a Strip Slay? I'm trying to make one right now, and my weaksauce Print Screen onto Paint and cut/paste skills aren't working very well in this regard.Personally, I use Paint Shop Pro (that's also where all this heavy editing, multi-layered pictures and other effects I have sort of made my own slaying style come from). I don't think I would be capable of achieving much effect with Paint.

I save all strips to disc, if for no other reason than so that, in many years, when the DD site has gone offline and I feel nostalgic, I can look back at it at my leasure (as I do with all other webcomics I follow, in fact).

[Johnny Blade]

Can't be. I'm pretty sure I never did a 300 joke for Legendary.
That's not what I meant. I was inspired by the very youtube video you just linked to, and I think that I found it through your comic. Or the comments you posted there, to be precise.


http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g144/AngryBalrog/caketown.png
Of course, it also could have been that slay.

Most browsers have the Right-Click : Save Image function. With the exception of my "original artwork" all my slays have been done in MSPaint. If you find this limiting or hard to work with both GIMP (http://www.gimp.org/) and Paint.Net (http://www.getpaint.net/) are free and have quite a lot of features.

Heh.

Either that, or his inherent Mary-Sue quality makes him a tasty meal for every one, regardless of food restrictions they might otherwise have.


By the way, what font does Mookie use?
His own handwriting. You can either look for a font that look somewhat like Mookie's handwriting, or copy/paste letters and words from other speech bubbles.

IIRC, someone made a picture with several samples of each letter, bolded and unbolded. I don't know where that file went. I think I also remember someone trying to make a TTF font out of Mookie's handwriting, but I don't think it yielded any result.

I love the Winslow.


Heh.

Either that, or his inherent Mary-Sue quality makes him a tasty meal for every one, regardless of food restrictions they might otherwise have.

I'll lick any sonuvabitch in this joint.

Ach, if only I was thirty pounds lighter and twenty years younger.

And, you know, didn't have school.

Ah, I'd probably just end up taking Dominic getting punched in the balls to even more gratuitous levels.

The face in the last panel is that of a man who has damned himself and has no one else to blame.

I done it better.

Eh. I would, but last time I tried to out-slay Elflad, it didn't work out very well at all.

Besides, who would want to try and out-slay him? He invented Stunt's Head for Domssakes.

I like this comic a lot its strange funny and cool at the same time ahard thing to pull off.

Which comic was that from?
Wait... those stitches... is that Quilt? Like, from back when he remembered that he was made from superior body parts with actual powers, and before we found out that Jacob apparently screwed up with his feet?

Dominic had a vision that basically said GO ON THIS CRUISE OR YOU WILL EXPLODE AND KILL EVERYONE. Basically Mookie's way of making sure that his Mary Sue saves the world in every single arc, even when he does nothing more than go on vacation.

I'll try to dig it up, but the thought of Archive Trawling the cruise arc makes me want to run in fear.

Edit: Goody, I only had to read two strips before I found it. (http://www.dominic-deegan.com/view.php?date=2008-05-25)

Isnt that a vision dominic had? One of the things that led to his horrible vacation, I believe?

Edit:
Oooh, Ninja got me for the first time!

It is, however, right with its assessments. Our slays are generally cool and funny.
And maybe a bit strange sometimes.

I fight to slay the sock puppets.

Could someone explain the flying spellwolf? I don't remember that from the comic, so where did the original idea come from, or why is it so hilarious to have Milov looking up?

The Siggy+AngryDwarf debate over what's the most satisfying, headshot or groinshot, comes close.

[Oracle_Hunter]

Wut. How does that make any sense at all?

So... I thought you asked where the "flying spellwolf" came from - since you didn't remember it from the comic. Well, it was there.

Now, why is it funny? The slays all work with Milov dropping folks to their doom, which is pretty hilarious :smalltongue:

No, I got it. The "wut." is mostly "Why does Mookie think that was a good, or interesting idea?!" Not "How is your post relevant".

On the other hand, now that I understand what was going on in those panels, they're much funnier. Thank you :P

What scares me is that Mookie may have actually intended the panel to end at "heard...", thank god he came to his senses. Even if it meant making his "poetry" look like the build-up to this joke.
