THE(untitled.medieval.fantasy)ADVENTURE!!!!
By: KC GREEN |
Ah, UMFA. My first experience with DrunkDuck started with this comic. It had a successful run, in my opinion. Gained me some new readers and got me some exposure (some = very little). But, too sad it had to end the way it did. Who knows. Maybe a different version of UMFA will pop outta my head later on and I'll put that idea onto paper. Limited possibility, but, ya gotta keep your options open (that and I love to screw around with my limited fanbase). As promised, here this is the archived version of UMFA with commentary on the comics and a explanation of what went between the missing comics. Let's begin. comic one - The beginning. Not much to say here. I love the poop-cart guy, though. And I couldn't think of swell names for the villages. comic two - I love that garbled note joke. I thought it was hilarious. And the town overview turned out better than I thought. comic three - Many of the people who were interested in my comic at the time really hated this one. Mostly because of the single-pixel sketchy art in it. Those people were very stingy about that. I still don't get it. comic four - Hoo boy, I sure did love to shade these comics. comic five - The "Packing their bags for an ego trip" line made me laugh at myself. Sheeeeeeeeeit. Five comics and already this is where we start missing some. Actually, not some... ALOT. What happens after comic five is Michael is skeptical of Thomas' would-be magic powers. Thomas tries to explain that no, he is not a powerful mage as much as he is a beginner in the world of magic. Michael doesn't listen and looks for a challenge for Thomas to battle. Michael sets his sights on some big burly man and the bar and begins to taunt the man with an ongoing theme of calling him a "fetus-head" and "fetus-whatever." "Fetus" being the constant theme. Michael then learns his mistake as the man turns around to reveal that he has his dead baby brother's fetus still attached to his head. Michael, being himself, hands things of to Thomas. Thomas, acting quick, concentrates his limited magic ability and sets fire to the man's fetus. The fetus fire soon spreads to the whole man. Mike and Tom flee the bar as the burning "corpse" goes down. We then see a mysterious voice talking to the burning man. Telling the thing to "Get up and seek revenge." An eye on the man, who's not not on fire, springs open. Outside the bar, Thomas berates Michael for not seeing that the man had a fetus on his head and trying to start a fight in the first place. Then, a tentacle bursts through the bar door knocking our heroes down. The owner of said tentacle belongs to the burning man now turned TENTACLE MONSTER. Booga booga booga! A tentacle sweeps Michael up and reveals that the tentacle monster is nothing but a puppet and the actual fetus is controlling him. Michael then treats the audience to a wide variety of grimaces and disgusted facial expressions. Tossing Michael aside, the monster goes for Thomas. Because Thomas ruined the monster's disguise, he will now crush him to death with the tentacles. Being crushed to death brings out an unknown magical force out of Thomas who bursts out of the tentacles grip pulsating with power. Elsewhere, we see Michael stealing an axe from a dwarven warrior who begins to sob. My friend Alan drew the next comic which showed Thomas taking some planks of wood from a near-by house and tossing them at the beast. I enjoyed his take on the comic but, yet again, the "fans" were not pleased. I don't get it. Them people's are hard to please. We now come back after my friend's comic to the next one where Thomas, glowing with power, tosses the planks of wood at the monster. Enjoy. comic six - Not six in real order. Six as is the sixth comic I have of it. Basically the end of the monster. comic seven - The tentacle snaps Thomas out of his mysterious power haze. See? comic eight - The Steve-Dave joke and Thomas' hair where the funniest things in this comic. comic nine - A lovely guest comic from Eli Parker. Again, fans didn't enjoy the lapse in the story. My fans sucked at times. comic ten - Now I start to hand draw them! All of the ones before this where made in PainterClassic on my Wacom tablet. Hand drawn ones make it easier for me to do them during a boring class. I love the third panel joke. comic eleven - This one just looks good. comic twelve - The funny explanation for the explosion in the last one. comic thirteen - Death was a fun character. I wish I could've used him more in the comic. But, alas, what can ya do? comic fourteen - A funny little filler comic that speaks the truth. No one could remember Michael's name. comic fifteen - AHA! A PLOT! I knew it was somewhere in there. This one was drawn in PainterClassic. I shall notify you if any more where not hand-drawn. comic sixteen - Back to out heroes who seem to be lost, comic seventeen - Joke in this one was gold. Drawn in PainterClassic. comic eighteen - Scratch that last one. This joke was gold. comic nineteen - ROCK MONSTER AHHHHHHHHHH. Oh wait, it's just a comic. Not real, yeah. comic twenty - British Rock Monsters? Yeeeup. I'm a genius. comic twenty-one - The Terry Jones action figure joke was taken from this CAT! comic. Those who got it probably snickered a little, as I laughed my ass off. And if you didn't catch it, the Rock Monsters' names were Ted(Big guy) and Bundy (little guy). I'm FUNNAY. comic twenty-two - My British humor is better than real British humor. comic twenty-three - Puddley-Winks was an awesome name. And, yes, I know he looks kinda like Grim from "The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy" on Cartoon Network. I'm sorry. comic twenty-four - I like the rolling action. comic twenty-five - I love the exchange between the Rock Monsters about pressing the button. Cracks me up every time. comic twenty-six - This one was fun. comic twenty-seven - The expressions where fun in this one. comic twenty-eight - OMG THEY'RE DEAD. comic twenty-nine - The final comic I made a month or so after the Great DD Crash of '04. Kind of a rip-off, yeah, but, at least I got to use Death again! So there ya go everyone. It was fun while it lasted. |
