Retro Comic: Surprisingly Good
Another oldie! Also it’s another meta comic! I used to make a bunch of these when starting out, and I still find them somewhat amusing. I’m not quite sure if they’re equally as interesting for non-cartoonists, though… Oh, and of course, with this particular one, there’s no disrespect intended for my cartoonists friends. You’re still alive, right?
Also, in other exciting news, Optipess is featured in the August issue of Le Monde diplomatique here in Norway! I’ve got a two page spread starring Cthulhu, everyones favorite Great Old One. It will soon appear here, but head on over to the Optipess page on Facebook for a sneak preview!
Wouldn’t it be wiser to make him your slave and make him work on new comics 24/7?
Inception.
Comi(n)c(eption)s!
Hahaha. I love how you refer in your text to all the cartoonists friends you have and ask them to confirm they are all alive: “You’re still alive, right?” :P
The friend here kind of looks like tm0rk.. Perhaps he is digging his own grave?
Nope! All characters appearing in this work are fictitious. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental.
Riiiiight. Lemme guess, this was one of your first strips, eh ;)
I just might be…
I don’t think this is supposed to be me, though. ;-)
At the time this comic was created, I was big as a house.
Clearly this blondydude is too fit.
I like this one though, as I’m quite the sucked for meta storytelling – if it’s done in a good way.
Oh, and by the way – congratulations on being published in Le Monde! I’ll see if I can get a hold of a copy today.
Great work! (a follower from spain :))
Careful, you might get stuck in your own comic-loop. You meet your friend, take the comic, shoot him, read about how you meet your friend, take the comic, shoot him, read abo…
No one can get it now by shooting you, because it is already your intellectual property, which would have to be inherited. That ist to say: your children will shoot you.
