Location: Squad 128's apartment
See? Steve Troop was way better at drawing my characters than I was. Must have been those awesome character models I gave him, yeah, that’s it.
That’s Roberta up there, in the hat. She’s a female Melotian, same species as Mayberry Melonpool. I don’t think she’s shown up yet in the current Melonpool reboot.
Sal looks a bit strange there, otherwise a definite treat!
Just look at her? Could she be anymore ridiculous.
Sal kinda looks like Sarah.
She has a curly bracket on her forehead. Joyce looks great, though.
that, and her hair’s tidy
Walky drew by Steve Troop looks younger.
These developments were a lot less baffling back when we could just click over to Melonpool and read the archives over there to figure out what was going on in the other half of this plotline.
Personally I want to check the old run out but I’m…extremely hesitant…..to buy several books just to try something. I want to support artists, but I’m also not exactly rolling in dough and have been known to anxiously justify individual food expenses. Wkyd. I tend to only buy things I’m already slavishly obsessed with.
The old run is still online, you know.
Oh, you meant the original Melonpool run. Never mind, then.
😀 Thanks for the thought, man!
I wasn’t really searching, but it seems they’re also available through Patreon, so there’s that.
Melonpool was such great stuff. What I’ll miss the most about the original run is Jalea, actually. You wouldn’t guess it at first, but she winds up having the most fleshed-out development of any character in the run, in that she grows and changes as a person. I’d like to hope she keeps what she’s earned despite the recent hard reboot, but then again, she had also taken the most systematic abuse of any character in the run. Even her name is a pun.
your link to melonpool doesn’t work.
Ah yes, my favorite website, roberta%20smeffinfeffer, home to melonpool
It’s always cool seeing artists draw other characters.
That Joyce honestly looks closer to how you draw her now than to how you did at the time. I wonder if the desire to match Steve Troop’s art a little better influenced that at all.
Thanks for explaining who these characters are, I’d be really confused otherwise.
