The Minstrel, Q-boy, & Slowku On Slowku Avoiding Popularity

ccc-91-theminstrelqboyslowku

In most American comics if a superhero saves a city they become so famous they have to have a secret identity so everyone they love isn’t targeted by villains (of course their identity is always found out and all their loved ones are targeted anyways).

“Goku” saved the world if not the universe quite a few times and only a handful of people know who he is or what he did. Pretty much every time something happens or the situation makes it so people can’t see him do it.

It would be interesting to see a “what if” where people knew “Goku” saved the world. I’d imagine he’d be very uncomfortable. I’ve gotten into this before but “Goku” spends A LOT of time alone or with few people. His house is basically a shack in the woods. Also any perks of fame would be lost on “Goku”. The guy basically wears one outfit, and seems pretty happy to eat whatever he can hunt and kill. Some of these things change a bit in “Dragonball Super” but that’s clearly “Chi Chi’s” doing not his.  In real life “Goku” has a holiday and is the one of the most famous heroes in all entertainment across the globe and he’d probably hate that…

That’s it for this week. Next week we start off with a new “The History Of Comics With Q-boy” where we meet “The Outlaw”. Then new “Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations” on Tuesday-Thursday. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

Special-Man, Q-boy, & Slowku On Slowku Cracking Up (Censored)

Family is a weird thing with “Goku”. The only family he every really has as a kid is “Grandpa Gohan” (who he unknowingly kills when he turns into a giant ape during a full moon). The only blood relative he ever encounters kidnaps his son and “Goku” has to help “Piccolo” kill him. His race the “Saiyans” seem to have no concept of family. Children seem to be bred (strangely enough like how “Krytonians” are in “Man Of Steel”) and then they are sent to wipe out all life on planets as infants.

You can make a big stretch and say his teacher’s over time are like father figures, but they aren’t really. Pretty sad when the closest thing you have to a Dad is a perverted old hermit who lives alone on a tiny island.

Or the cat guy who lives alone on a top of a giant tower. Or the guy who lives even higher in the sky on a lookout above Earth. Or the guy who lives alone on a tiny planet in the afterlife. See the pattern… Isolation. “Goku” lives a pretty isolated life with extended periods where he is completely alone.

I’ve mentioned before how “Goku” takes pretty much any opportunity to abandon his family, and how messed up it was putting the pressure to beat “Cell” on “Gohan”, but he makes up for it by sacrificing himself right? Well here’s the thing… “Goku” could have easily escaped. “Goku” teleports “Cell” to “King Kai’s” planet and has over 30 seconds to teleport back to Earth (I believe this time was shortened in “Dragonball Z Kai” though). That may not sould like a lot of time. But in that time he talks to “King Kai” and just stands there for kind of a while. Check it out in this clip…

That’s it for this week. See ya next Tuesday-Thursday for more “Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations”. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations #15

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

ccc-qboytemplate

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!
