Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for August 04, 2010
Transcript:
Man: If it'll help you collaborate on your comic book, think of yourselves as a team of superheroes! And each of you has a different superpower! Boy: Yeah! Like the Terrific Trio! Girl: Or the flabber-gasting four, minus one! Petey: Or the thematically unified three. Boy: I'LL BE THE BIG LOUD ONE! Girl: I'll be the cute, big-eyed one! Petey: I'll be the one in the back.

Someone’s gotta be the one in the back. Who else will do the accounting?
SCOTTtheBADGER over 14 years ago
How could you be anything else, Loris?
Petey the self confessed REMF, quite happy to be in the rear, with the gear.

The Terrific Trio are about to become the Burmuda Triangle.

Doc, I think Petey’s still the least functional of the three, it’s just that Loris and Andre both have outwardly-directed quirks, and Petey’s are all inward.
Seen as atoms, Andre and Loris each carry a plus-1 valence and Petey carries a minus-2, making the molecule chemically stable.

I get it, they each have a single salient feature. Move on before this becomes Garfield and the same joke gets recycled every day for 32 years.

Petey can be the voice on the intercom, the wheelchair-bound tactician who never actually leaves the secret HQ.

Fritzoid, that comment made my day!

I agree- Fritzoid writes a good cartoon (many strips use 1 writer and 1 artist) I LOVE to draw (but currently doing only Medieval scrolls on imported faux parchment with gouaches and calligraphy in styles becoming that.

Actually, shytimes, …
Someday you’ll see. Someday you’ll ALL see!
BWAAAAH-HAH-HAH-HAAAAAHHHHH!!!
In truth, I think my biggest problem writing-wise is that my particular talent is for parody and pastiche. I’m much better riffing on other people’s ideas than coming up with my own. That works well for comments on GoComics, but the legal issues would be sticky if I published.
My biggest problem drawing-wise is that I hate doing backgrounds (I can DO them, but I find it tedious). I only like drawing the figures themselves (my avatar will give you a general idea what my stuff looks like, although that was done right on the computer rather than as ink on paper).
