Round One, page 3
on January 28, 2013 at 12:01 amI’ll be frank: the top half of this page only exists so I could reference “Ravage 3 Bodies Evolution,” a terrible Transformers fanfic. It was shameless and I still don’t care. It was worth it.
Hey, check out those grabs from Sal’s Origin Story behind her in those first two panels, too.
Loading ...
I’m assuming in the next page, the person she talked to mis-heard it as ‘redneck’ and makes a joke like “Aren’t you one?”
And then Sal breaks his femurs so he can’t live.
Even if those first two panels are very odd, the fact that they reference Transformers makes them awesome. So yay!
Should have taken the left turn at Albuquerque.
Eh, then she just would have ended up in Walla Walla Washington. You know, where Jefferson is buried in Grant’s Tomb.
I thought you were just sending up your own melodramatic tendencies. (I know pretty much nothing whatsoever about Transformers.)
So I’m not the only one in that boat. Yay! (I’m pretty sure that anything I know about Transformers, I learned from Shortpacked/the comments there.)
Man, you referenced the most obscure things back then. Whereas today you… um… never mind.
Well, that fanfic was definitely terrible. I did not know simple text could bring such pain
Y’know what I just realized? There’s four and a half months in 1998 with no content due to Willis being on break and not having moved from his school newspaper to INTERNET EXCLUSIVE COMICS yet. And we’re a month ahead as is.
What other exclusive content do we need to get though within Roomies!? Roomies Redux should set us back quite a ways. Ruth’s flashback and the Trek convention with Howard as well. Unless there’s something I’m forgetting, though, I think that still puts us something like three months ahead.
Damn, I love Sal…
You know it’s a great bad fanfic when the write believes the only purpose of capital letters is to write things in BLOCK CAPITALS to make them more DRAMATIC.
And snarking at someone else’s writing ability means I misspell “writer”…
It’s really interesting to flip back and forth between the art styles. You can almost hear the sound of the gear-shift.
There’s been…four styles of Willis’ that I find notable — the Roomies! school-newspaper-comics sketchy-style, the simplistic-but-dynamic style of It’s Walky!, the slightly watered-down colors and experimentation of early Shortpacked!, and Modern Willis.
I wish I could give these proper art-history names.
Wow, that really IS a bad fanfic. Here’s my favorite bad line: RAVAGE: “JHIAXUS, how is it possible that you live,I thought you died in
the TF generation 2 comics #11.” LOL
… Wow. That is one amazingly terrible fanfic. Thanks for that. It might take me the rest of the morning to comprehend it, but thanks.
That fanfic seems to have disappeared. Completely gone now
