#270: Helm of Kylcleigh

#270 reposted 24mar19

This helmet might be the only thing to get a decent back story in the whole comic. I had considered skipping to this one since Carmen Sandiego is back on the TV. That was super exciting, and the new series is awesome!

New Carmen isn’t the same as the one who stole the show, our hearts, and Hudson’s Bay in the 90s. It’s a fun show nonetheless. It made me want to go play the old DOS game, which is harder now that half those countries don’t exist.

#269 That time I tried to make Puppets

One time I had a bag of pipe cleaners and styrofoam balls, so I tried making stick figure action figures. It failed. The only time they got any use was this one comic. After that, they fell apart.

Tune in next time, when we actually get a story again!

It only took 268 issues for me to start listening to Fencer and Elf’s advice about formatting. Too bad none of their tips about actually being able to draw ever sunk in.

I was playing around with different poses and decided to copy Michael Jackson. If I had the unlimited time needed for animation… I still wouldn’t try it. Animation is hard.

At this point in 2007, I levelled up and the quality of this comic improves greatly. I’ve lost it all again in the years since school, but maybe one day I can be that good again.

Emoting with Elf’s wars is always fun. I’ll have to bring her character back more if I ever get back to the comic.

The American 5th amendment (as seen on TV) allows someone in court to refuse to answer a question, if that answer would incriminate themselves.

The Canadian constitution is far less interesting than the US one. Most of our amendments are about how seats should be divided in parliament, or including the younger provinces in older legislation. And, of course, the one that says a bridge can be built to PEI.

Our constitution also causes a lot less trouble than some others.

I skipped #264 as it was just not interesting enough to repost.

I really need to find more reasons to being out the Atheist High-Priest in this comic. he’s one of my favourite characters. Of course, in a world where magic is a real thing, it would be the same as science. The question then becomes: what sort of nonsense would people have to invent to replace pseudo-science (psuedo-magic)?

I have no idea how I made those special effects. At the time, it was so obvious and then 12 years later it’s lost technology.

#261:

Not really relevant for the re-posting. And yes, I know that climate change causes more snow. I’m not an expert on the science, but I think the basic idea is that more heat in the system means more water evaporates into the air, and then it all falls on my driveway.

Remember that movie that was really popular years ago, when this was made? There were Spartans and Persians and CGI everywhere! Can’t remember what it was called now.
