COMIC IDEAS

[G_Rett]

Okay, normally I just lurk, but I got a comic idea that I thought would lead to a really funny face, so here is my attempt at a contribution to society.

Disclaimer:
This might be construed as a spoiler in Skyward Sword. It's only a side quest, but to some that can be a big deal, so if you're hyper sensitive about any foreknowledge in a game (I know I am), then you'll want to skip over reading the fallowing idea in the next paragraph.




The premise is Bertie's problem of not getting any sleep for the last couple nights, due to his infant son's inability to calm down without his rattle, has just been solved. He bursts with gratitude and goes into a monologue how he'll finally get some sleep. Link's distracted from all this because he's realizing that he himself is sleepy. Noticing the open bed, he decides to occupy it himself. After putting his son in his crib, only then does Bertie discover what has been snatched away from him (insert appropriate face on Bertie here).

This idea occurred to me recently as I was playing through Skyward Sword a second time. As I finished this side quest, I noticed that if I wanted to I could have slept in that open bed in his house immediately fallowing the conversation. I didn't fallow through to see what would actually happen if you did, cause I'd feel terrible doing that to the poor guy and it's weird enough that I enter peoples houses unannounced in this game; making myself at home in everyone's bed would be going a bit far.

I've scripted another comic, for the Fallout New Vegas DLC "Dead cheddar." I am seriously curious about the events depicted both in the game and this comic script likewise - where in the f*ck does that clapping come from?!

Of all my ideas, this one seemed to fit AZ's style of humor best. Of course, coming from a guy who has had nothing to do with its awesomeness, that's not saying a lot. *forever alone* ; ~; also, another note: I'll do my best to come up with comics that contain zero spoilers and rely upon Katie's sense of humorous existence so she'd be comfortable drawing it.

[Panel 1] *Katie is gambling in the Sierra Madre casino & resort. The picture should be the back of Katie's head, and angled to look over her shoulder at a 5-player, D-shaped blackjack table with 'Sierra Madre' written in front of the dealer's gambling chips tray. (Google the image of the game's blackjack tables to get an exact idea of the artwork.)*

[Panel 2] *Katie wins her first hand doubling down on a split pair of kings and aces thanks to a high Luck stat.* "Awesome, double blackjack!" *Top-right corner displays 'You win 600 chip(s), you feel lucky!' while the bottom right displays 'Double Down Y)'.*

[Panel 3] *When Katie wins the previously mentioned hand, applause from several people can be heard. Katie makes her traditional 'da fuq' face, since there's absolutely no one else present in the gambling hall.*

[Panels 4-1 & 4-2] *Katie looks around the blackjack area for the source of the applause, finding nobody and wearing a question mark overhead.* / *Katie searches under the tables for some sort of machine that generates applause when the player(s) win, wearing a >=I face.*

[Panel 5] *Katie resumes gambling and wins another hand with 'You win 200 chip(s)' at the top-right, causing more disembodied applause and an even more exhasperated look on her face from the confusion and fright.*

[Panel 6] *Katie is now hiding behind the holographic dealer with her gun pointed out over its shoulder, tapping the table for cards to be dealt using her free hand. Her expression is that of a psychotic paranoiac determined to spy whoever's clapping their hands when she wins.*

((EDIT: had to adjust something in the on-screen headers for panel 2 so that the high Luck stat would become obvious.))

Sorry, It's Unpluckable

Katie is playing The Binding of Isaac, gets the trinket Cancer. She then finds the trinket Tick, gets it and tries to switch back to Cancer, but she cannot (because you can't remove Tick). Last panel ensues confusion about how you can get rid of Cancer but not a Tick.

Boned/Headstoned/Rock/Ground Floor:
Trainer Katie makes it to the top of Pokemon Tower. Defeats the ghosts and is left exhausted.
"Rhyhorn, use DIG!!"
Katie grabs onto Rhyhorn as it digs through the top floor, proceeding to fall through all the subsequent floors. Katie and Pokemon land and are followed by a pile of headstones, Channelers, and Pokebones.
"This sacred place is safe once more."

Final Dungeon:
Trainer Katie's Pokemon pushes a boulder into a hole. Boulder lands on Hiker. Hiker screams out. Pokemon falls in after boulder and lands on it. Hiker screams louder. Katie falls in on top of Pokemon. Hiker's head pops off and lands on switch. Barrier comes down. Katie looks around for witnesses. Swipes wallet. Leaves.

Flesh Craving:
Clefairy versus Dragonair. Dragonair is infatuated by Clefairy. Dragonair's Shed Skin ability cured it of infatuation. Dragonair's skin chases after Clefairy.

Arceurusly?:
Wild Golbat uses Mean Look on Arceus, any massively powerful Poke'mon. Arceus can't escape now. Arceus looks down at Katie. Katie shrugs.

Para-Plea-Chick/Saliva Dead:
Trainer Katie wanders through tall grass and stops suddenly, paralyzed. Looks down to see she's standing on something pink. Tongue rolls up Katie. Lickitung burps. Ha ha, hilarious.

Souled Off:
Haunter sneaks up behind Trainer. Uses Lick. We see ghostly afterimage of the trainer temporarily separate from their body.
"My...my...soul...feels icky."

I just saw Wreck-It Ralph and got an idea.


Vwingtone: Part 2

Katie goes to see Wreck-It Ralph.

She's in the theater, watching the part where Ralph is searching through the lost-and-found for a medal in that one bar he went to early in the movie.

He pulls out the "!", and it makes a VWING! sound (since that actually happens in the movie)

Hearing the sound, Katie instinctively checks her phone.

[Kamak]

Alternatively, she ducks and covers, or thinks she left her phone on and thinks everyone hates her for being "that one person" that leaves their phone on.

[banderwocky]

I don't know if this has been suggested before, but I don't feel like looking through almost 400 pages of suggestions sooo... yeah. Here it is.

Trainer Katie loses a Cockfighting Society battle. The message "Trainer Katie blacked out!" appears at the bottom of the panel, then Katie faints dramatically. The opponent looks around awkwardly for a moment, then walks off with her wallet and a big smile on his/her face.


Some relevance is lost thanks to "____ hurried to a Cockfighting Society center, protecting the exhausted and fainted Cockfighting Society from further harm" message that appears in the newer games, but I still find this silly.

Clefair Play:
Clefairy used Minimize. Geodude used Explosion. It missed. Clefairy used Encore, puts on asshole shades.

Fresh Fine Prints:
Trainer Katie buys Fresh Water. Drinks it. Looks at label. 95% Tentacool free.

Fresh Fine Prints:
Trainer Katie buys Fresh Water. Drinks it. Looks at label. 95% Tentacool free.

This reminds me. In the original games, you could only buy Fresh Water from Celadon City's vending machines in the Department Store. Because of this, and because Erika is the gym leader and she's got a greenhouse for a gym basically, I expected Celadon to be a more peaceful/clean/etc. city than Saffron with all of the buildings/businesses/crime/etc.

The water in Celadon is heavily polluted, as Grimer and Muk naturally spawn there. There are biker gangs all around Celadon aswell, and of course, the Rockets had an entire base in the city, which makes you question whether people just didn't notice, or if they were naive. Celadon was a huge metaphor for a city with a lost identity and a criminal underground losing itself in the modern world, and almost gone to the point of becoming a city like Saffron (and technically you contribute to that by stealing an Eevee from someone's house by going in the back door).

Plus, it makes me wonder if the reason Celadon sold Fresh Water had to do with the attitude in the 80's and 90's that it was better to spend extra cheddar for convenience than actually work to clean up the problem.

But maybe that's all just silly conjecture on my part.

Pokemo:
Trainer Katie takes on gang of Cue Balls in battle after using Vs Seeker. Leaves them and their Pokemon knocked out. Keeps walking while counting money to see the other half of the gang carrying a banner. "Cancer Patients Bike Ride Fundraiser".

[Kamak]

That is just Norrin-level evil.

Since we're going on a Gen 1 trend, here's an idea:

Katie is challenged by a Bird Keeper and sends out whatever the hell she has (maybe something spooky). The bird keeper opens up his cage to let out his Pokemon (possibly gloating about how rare it was), and it instantly flies away (possibly spooked by her Pokemon).

Katie questions why he didn't catch it with Pokeballs, and he cries into his knees and holds out prize cheddar to her.

[Omnithea]

The Big Apricorn:
"Celadon...I hate it here."
"Malls."
"Tourists."
"Gangs." Team Rocket
"Gambling." Game Corner
"Grass Types." Group scene of pretty girls and picturesque Pokemon. Wind picks up. Powders, spores, dusts emanate from Gym and decimate population.

[Tetrunes]

Here I was expecting a stereotypical parody of a 30's New York detective novel.

[Omnithea]

Psh. Call me the Spanish Inquisition, because I use force to overrule personal liberties and subvert holy writ for my own ends...I'm not sure where I was going with that...

Rocket Can:
President of Silph Co. has meeting with board. Giovanni busts in with goons.
PRES: "But...but...the guards?"
GIOVANNI: "Your gatekeepers almost kept us out of Saffron...but they were only human..."
PRES: "What did you do to them?"
ROCKET 1: "Maybe we threatened them..."
ROCKET 2: "Maybe we tortured them..."
ROCKET 3: "Maybe we killed them..."
ROCKET 4: "We gave'em SODA!!" Possibly have the fourth Rocket Grunt be an idiot who just blurts it out.

Golden Snitch:
Trainer Katie wins match against Opponent.
OPPONENT: "Good match, you'll go far."
Hands over large wad of cash. Turns to walk away. Trainer Katie goes bug eyed at sight of cash. Raises VS Seeker over head.

Just beat Dream Drop Distance, and this was the first thing I thought on Sora's fourth world boss.

Reality Shit

Shows Sora using reality shift on Monstro, gets ontop giant bubble.

Katie accidentally presses B, next panel shows Sora flying through space.
