Slowku On Parenting

ccc-25-slowku

So this is my version of Goku from Dragonball.  So if you know your Dragonball your questions might be…

Q: Why does he look like that?

A: I tanned him up cuz’ I figured he’s a guy who spends a lot of time outside, and I wanted his hair to be slightly more “realistic”. Also  I wanted Slowku to wear colors Goku never wore.

Q: Why does he talk like that?

A: The author of the blog “The Dao Of Dragonball”,  and several books that goes DEEP into Dragonball (I’m currently in the middle of his 4th book in the “Dragon Ball Culture” series), Derek Padula in an article describes how Goku “is a country bumpkin and speaks with a funny accent, in a rough, simple minded manner” (check out the article here http://thedaoofdragonball.com/blog/martial-arts/ossu-ora-goku-explained/ ).  I wanted represent that more than the American version of Goku usually does.

Q: What’s that say on the left side of Slowku’s gi?

A: If Google Translate didn’t blow it, it says “this guy is slow”.

With that out of the way the part with the Grampa is pretty close to what happens in Dragonball which actually leads into stuff that’s more messed up… It’s a different country and it was a different time… Anyways that’s it for this week. Next Monday a new Q-boy Short comic and new Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations comics Tuesday-Thursday.

Q-boy On Parenting/ His Son (Censored)

So the first part of this comic where Q-boy talks about his boss refers back to Q-boy Short # 16, 18, & 19 (which you can check out at https://qboyandtheninja.com/2014/02/09/qbs16/ , https://qboyandtheninja.com/2014/02/09/qbs16/ , & https://qboyandtheninja.com/2014/09/14/qbs19/ respectively).  Q-boy’s boss Rod Rapier is based on Don Draper from Mad Men.

Then we have more Dragon Ball references which again will be expanded on tomorrow.  The stuff at the end is very much based on reality as I’m actually a few episodes into season 2 of “Orphan Black” and I’ve watched the first 3 episodes of this season of “House Of Cards”.  Both are truly great shows! Anyways hope you enjoy and see ya tomorrow!

Q-boy goes into his origin which expands on what’s shown waaaay back in Q-boy #1 (which you check out here https://qboyandtheninja.com/2012/05/12/qb1/ ).  Now you know you’re Dragon Ball there’s a lot of references and clues which will be expanded on more in tomorrow’s and Thursday’s comic.

If you don’t know the story of the afluenza kid this youtube video sums it up pretty quick https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AoY1ARr7dp4

Tomorrow Q-boy continues to tell his story. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

Q-boy Short #45 Talking Himself Through One / The History Of Q-boy Part 43 (Censored)

Q-boy Short #45 Talking Himself Through One / The History Of Q-boy Part 43 (Censored)

qbs45c

This one is based on this famous Spider-man story from Amazing Spider-man #33 where after a fight with Dr. Octopus he’s trapped under tons of machinery and has to struggle to get free.  The challenge with this comic was taking a story that took many pages and summing it up in one.  All the panels in this comic are based on panels from Spider-man #33. I tried to pick what I felt were the best panels from this sequence in Spider-man #33 to represent the struggle.

The “Instant Evolution”/”Level 2” stuff is basically the Q-boy version of going Super Saiyan from Dragonball.  You’ll definitely see this again in the future.

That’s about it for this one, folks. Next time we meet a guy called “The Reluctant Romantic” in a resturant, and the story this inspire.  Hope you enjoy, and see ya then!
