The History Of Comics With Q-boy #65

The Last Distraction Of Distraction Lass (Sketch)

Sorry don’t got a full panel done yet. I’m trying out a new way of doing these comics where you setup all the word balloons first. That way you can then draw around the word balloons so they don’t block out all the art. For many people who make comics its a huge no-brainer, but I always drew the comics then tried to fit in the word balloons. Then I got slightly smarter and at least did narration boxes first.

With that said, doing it this way makes getting to the actual drawing part take longer. This here is my thumbnail/writing phase of the comic. Usually I post these on Twitter and Instagram on afternoons. You can see that I already altered the original title.

Tomorrow-Thursday check out new “Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations” and we’ll have another update on this comic on Friday. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

So how’d ya’ll like the “Utterly Insane Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations 24 Hourly Comics Shebangabang”? It was a real plate spinning challenge, but also very satisfying to do. I had to do the today and Tuesday’s normal “Criminal And Crimefigter Conversations” comics well in advance to do the big anniversary hourly comics thing yesterday.
If you’ve been to my site you’ve probably noticed it was different last week and it was changed again this week.  Finally did some much needed overhauling to it. Right now it’s still basically a blog, but eventually (when I figure out exactly what I want to do and how) I want to turn it into a full on website. Overtime you’ll probably notice some changes like this to the comics as well. A few weeks ago I signed up at webcomics.com and MAN have I been learning a lot. Already well worth the $30 a year I paid. If you make webcomics I can’t recommend it enough.
Thanks to everyone like, shared, commented, retweeted, or just checked out this comics and followed the story in them. That’s it for this week. Next week we’re back with our regularly scheduled program with new “Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations” on Tuesday-Thursday. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

What’s Special-Girl up to? You’ll find out in tomorrow’s “Utterly Insane Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations 24 Hourly Comics Shebangabang”

So as I described last time tomorrow is hourly comic day and the 1st anniversary of this comic. Traditionally on hourly comics day people make a comic for every hour they are awake on the day.  Round here we do things different. There will be a (very much pre-made beforehand) comic every hour from 12AM to 12AM the next day. On Instagram it won’t be quite hourly because I have can’t automate IG posts but they will be hourly on twitter (same name on there @rjoynesjr ) and on my site (http://bit.ly/qbninja ). At worst it’ll be one hell of train wreck to witness.

Brace yourselves folks this is gonna be a wild one… I know I am… See ya at midnight! Hope ya enjoy and see ya then!

Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations #158 – White Swallow, Jade Archer, Q-boy, & Quickie On “Political Activism”

So for those of you saying “give a Trump a chance” it’s now been a few days and he’s basically stopped the EPA from doing or saying anything, approved pipelines, and blamed millions of illegal immigrants voting for his losing the popular vote. Meanwhile they’re trying to get rid of all the almost universally approved of things in the Affordable Care Act. Is this enough of a chance yet?

So this comic is basically making fun of the early episodes of “Arrow” where Ollie was pretty much just a guy with a list who straight up murdered people with arrows.  The show became better as a whole, but it was kinda great in an insane way. Ollie would get his “Ninja Warrior” on doing that salmon latter thing and then go out a murder people who have “failed the city”. It actually sounds more like a “Batman” villain then any type of hero. Still, good times…

That’s it for this week. There will be new Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations next Tuesday-Thursday with Wednesday being the anniversary of the start of this whole comic with hourly comic day. To quickly explain hourly comic day is described by knowyourmeme.com as “an annual event that takes place on February 1st where participants draw one short comic for every hour that they awake”.

Last year I launched this comic on this day with a comic every hour from 12AM to 12AM the next day, and I’m going for it again this year. To be clear, traditionally people do their comics on the day and I certainly didn’t and am not doing that this year. These comic were and will be made in advance. So far I’ve written about 2/3 of it, and already its pretty nuts! Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

All the protesting against Trump gives me hope. Maybe we’re not doomed. Maybe most people aren’t falling for this. All of this might be too late, but maybe not.

As I write this the comic isn’t done yet. This is one of the rare ones where I actually added more words than I originally planned. This one is so random and all over the place I tried to make sure I explained things pretty well.

So I watched the last episode of “Supergirl”, the much hyped “Supergirl Lives” directed by Kevin Smith. Someday I have get into a long post about Kev, but that’s definitely for another day. Will always love his early movies though. Anyways for episode with that title you’d expect something BIG to happen.  Yeah not so much. This episodes has the same problems the rest of this season has which are:

  • Wynn sucks. He really takes to another level in this one. Dude’s dead weight, cut him
  • Jimmy Olsen being “Guardian” is stupid
  • Jimmy hiding being “Guardian” from “Supergirl” is even stupider
  • Weak villains

Tomorrow Special-Girl and Luscious are swapped out for White Swallow and Jade Archer as they talk about “policital activism”. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

There’s this weird thing going on where people keep saying “Trump’s the president now we have to give him a chance”. Um… No, we’re Americans we don’t do that. Like I put into the comic we tear mercilessly at our leaders and that’s the good ones we actually like. The same people saying this never gave Obama a chance, and that’s not even getting into the fact Trump lost the popular vote by nearly 3 million, is quite possibly being controlled by Putin, and appointed almost comically terrible people to his cabinet. This guy even lies about stuff that there is photo evidence of like the number of people at his inauguration. They’ll have to come up with some really big “alternative facts” to down play all the people protesting against him.

As for Steve Harvey… That was disappointing… I think he thought he was doing a good thing meeting with Trump. “Having a seat at the table” as he put it, but that table is only for billionaires.

Tomorrow we swap out Apex & Death Poll for Luscious Trapp & Quickie as the conversation goes all over the place then circles back to Trump. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

Do you remember the first time you saw “Goku” turn “Super Saiyan” the first time. Most of us Americans knew it was going to happen and even what it looked like, but we didn’t know how it happened until we saw it.  It took extreme gravity training, nearly dying, fighting against a (at the time) basically unbeatable opponent, and the stress of seeing his best friend killed.  For ‘Vegeta” to do it he had to push himself to near madness. Basically it took extreme training and extreme stress.

Jump ahead and Goku reveals he could become “Super Saiyan 3” except he really can’t handle it. I think it’s suggested that the planet can’t even handle it which is something I think everyone seems to forget. Then younger characters (and one’s that are barely “Saiyan”) could just do it (except “Pan” of course because… reasons).

Jump to “Dragon Ball Super” where Goku becomes “Super Saiyan God”.  Which is just given to him… It’s kinda un-“Dragonball” to do that. Later “Vegeta” “does it on his own”, but that doesn’t make any sense. And they both become “Super Saiyan Blue”. I know there’s a “Super Saiyan Rose” as well but I don’t know if either of them achieved it yet. My point to all this is that these new transformations seem too easy and too fast. Again I like “Dragon Ball Super” but at this rate they’re going to run out of color pretty fast.

That’s it for this week. Check out new “Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations” Tuesdays-Thurdays. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

In case you’re lost or didn’t read yesterday’s comic this is a telepathic conversation that was going on during the conversation from yesterday’s comic between Mr. Mystic and Headmaster Fresh and unexpectedly Slowku gets involved. That just made you more confused didn’t it?

Speaking of Slowku let’s get back to “Dragon Ball Super”. One thing I kinda like about it is that it has shorter arcs. I don’t break down “Dragon Ball Z” into mini-arcs like most people. To me “DBZ” is The “Saiyan” or “Vegeta”  Saga, the “Freeza” Saga, the “Cell” saga, and the “Buu” saga. This plus some filler covers nearly 300 episodes. At around 60 episodes “Dragonball Super” has had the same number of sagas plus filler. Another good thing is at least in the “Ressurection Of F” arc characters that aren’t “Goku” or “Vegeta” got to do something.

Then there’s the problems… Like “Pilaf”…. He’s never been funny or a good character. He’s a relic of time when “Dragon Ball” wasn’t popular. And yet he keeps returning… Over and over again to waste time that could go to fighting or something interesting.  Along with him is “Shu” and “Mai”.  “Mai” is a whole thing by herself because of all this weird stuff with her and “Trunks”.  To be clear this is woman that is older and his mother in a child’s body.  Then time travel gets involved and it gets weird for the opposite reason.  All this should really just stop.

Tomorrow a decision is made about Mr. Mystic’s position in The Revenge Squad. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!
