The Idiodyssey 20
Hi guys! I’m sorry that the updates have been a little laggy. Running this Aftershock Kickstarter is a full-time job! But the good news is that the Kickstarter is going super duper! But it could always go MORE duper!
Have you shared the news about Aftershock with your friends, loved ones and the gimp you keep in the trunk? Do your part today!
…
My subscribers’ get great gams!
Well, this is….a head trip. And considering I just saw Multiverse of Madness yesterday, that’s saying something.
Oh Golly! There are certainly some coincidental resemblances here! To me, Blackwell, that grinning, one-eyed garden gnome, kind of resembles Tony Fauci. BTW, he and Smegmazoth were alluded to previously, on page 6.
And poor sleepy Brandon, tangled in proton beams! He can’t get any rest, even in the afterlife. It is fortunate for him, his head is turned away from the executioner’s sharp sword slicing through flesh, and bones, and ice cream cones alike. Brandon did so enjoy ice cream cones.
The only other character I’m going to comment on is the ghostbuster, who to me, resembles Dwayne (the Rock) Johnson. Somehow it is not surprising to me, to see him working for the forces of Darkness.
As a final note, I want say I do feel some sympathy for the Libtards, for whom him-with-the-bad-hair (aka Orange Man, aka Smegmazoth) has been living in their nightmares, essentially rent-free, since 2016.
JY: I would like to thank Tom Richmond, whose useful book, “The MAD Art of Caricature”, allowed me to at least capture The Rock. (I must apparently still work on my Peter Dinklage, Kristan Schall, Kevin James and Bill “Brandon” Murray.)
Oh wait! My bad! Because that free-floating, vaporous apparition really does have Bill Murray’s face, which I suppose makes sense for a parody of the Ghostbusters franchise. Somehow I got him confused with that senile old man who delivered the State of the Union address this year. I dunno. Maybe I was thinking this whole thing was political, but no, most of the faces here are Hollywood faces.
Yet another great T-shirt slogan !
This has got to be the darkest panel in 20 years, at least what I’ve seen on the site.
What’s the idea behind the family eating ice cream? Are there someone particular or some trope, or it’s just that ‘Rump destroyed what was left of the traditional family in the US?
On my side of the pond, it seems that everything in your country is partitioned between the two biggest parties you have. The biggest asset of the Democrats is the media, and of the Republicans – the South, so THE WORLD gets the idea that southeners are rednecks to a man through Americam media. Which is skewed more towards the Democrats. Did I get this right? Some people over here hated Bush and Trump and supported Obama without even being able to speak English.
JY: Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. It’s just funny for a black knight to chop a whole family’s heads off in one stroke.
Unfortunately, here we don’t have a system where a Monster Raving Loony party can compete for attention (although the GOP seems to want to become that very party). Therefor we are stuck with a polarized conversation despite the fact that the Two Party Mafia represents an increasingly small share of the electorate.
We have the exact same expression about our parties, first it was a red-blue shark, and now it’s a mafia hydra with many heads or whatever. I hope things will get better for you and us but I don’t know how. i look at the internet and I’m beginning to hope for a nuke.
Good luck with the kickstarter, you certainly never underdelivered. The detail in your work is stunning. The vines on that legionnaire in the last panel of Aftershock alone is amazing. Had to keep going back to it.
Sometimes a death knight taking out a family in one swipe is just cool…
SOMEBODY (lookin’ @ YOU, Squints!) needs to have a care where they get their shit!
BANG! Ten comments! *noisemakers* *ticker tape*
Is anyone else here impressed by the recursiveness of this scene? By that I mean, basically we are looking at a pot-induced dream *within* a pot-induced dream. It is kind of like that movie, Inception (2010), for which it helps to use numbers to keep track of how many layers deep of dream-within-a-dream, are presently occurring.
I am hoping Fodder-Beepo is going to bounce back to level 1 soon. After all, how far can he get here at level 2, being a maggot covered corpse, with an evil bird ripping his clown nose off?
JY: This guy gets it.
