Recently I ran across one of the old comics I used to doodle back when I was still in school, a series of comics that has two real titles. I call them... the enchanted story books. Later they became known as T.L.A. (Three letter Acronym) for various reasons.
Now, for starters, these comics are horrably drawn. The main characters are all stick figures, if that tells you anything. There, now that that's out of the way, the important stuff. All the characters in the comic (well, most of the reacurring ones, anyway) are people I accually know. The comics were a little fantasy world of my own design in which anything could happen. If I ran the battlecube, it would probobly wind up like these stories.. or something..
Brief Character summary.
(Real people)
Proffesor David (that's me.. yes.. David's my real name, you heathens): The main character, pretty much in charge of everything. Most of the story takes place in my laboratory, sort of a Dexter's lab meets weird science type thing... only with more giant robots.. Anyway.. Normally I'm a stick figure with a simple red tie.
But whenever the need arises (or whenever I feel like blowing something up) I turn into NOVA and well.. you can guess from there.
(FunFact: My ass is also the demon god of Phyrexia, Yagmoth, for all you M:TG fans out there..)
Tim Bartlett: My sidekick, most would say. Tim's about a foot shorter than me, but that doesn't show any differance in the comics. He's about as weird as I am, if not more so at times. Oh yeah, he was orriginally a simple ass goblin, living his life in the realm of Analia-city... when he saved a tiny wizard from starving to death by offering him a browner. This wizard, who's name is IgglyWigglyWormyDownMyPanstieMan, turned tim into a real person.. and then he married my ass's daughter, a demonic pillow. They have three children togeather. A Toaster named "Blender", a Blender named "Toaster" and a refridgerator named "Fridge"
Phillip: Phillip was given the important job of being the decoy. Pretty much whenever someone shot at the good guys, Phillip always ended up taking all the hits. He also has near instant regeneration, but has no other worthy combat abilities what-so-ever.. He has a serious reboot fetish though, SERIOUS stuff.. If you value your eyes, never go browsing in his Reboot folders on his pc. You've been warned.
Patrick: My younger brother, better known to most of you as Ghrecki. He has the ability to channel a 700 thousand year old viking godded named "Fucko" who uses a fishing rod as a weapon. Um.. theres also something in his blood that can bring things to life, and for some reason has a trio of Fecial golems that follow him around everywhere.
TJ "Gomer" Yates: We just call him gomer. He's a salesman, and he sales shit. Litterally. He's got the finest selection of fertaliser on the planet. He's also the president.. er.. Tzar.. er.. Potentate.. yeah.. Potentate of Russia. I think he made the word up, accually.. Anyway.. he's got a funny russian accent, so I gave him control of the contry in my comics.
Proctor: This guy's also named David.. so we all call him by his last name. He's the janitor of the laboratory most of the stories take place. But since I have a whole bunch of self-cleaner super robots, all he does is shovel coal into the main nuclear mega-furnace. His main weapon is an enchanted shovel who's mathimaticly imperfect edges can cut through anything... given a few years or so..
One time he thought he was Aeris from FF7, and ran across Sepheroth the pimp, and somehow or another he had a brief career as a hooker to other disgruntled cideogame characters that suffer name changes for obscure reasons after a few sequals come out.
Nathan: This guy is um.. I forget what he does.. He's one of phillip's best friends.. which that alone means he's not someone you want to spend alot of time around..
He names his Penis "Lance" and wants to enter a jousting tournament with it.. Seriously.
Piltcher: This guy is perhaps the last "real" person to have found his was into the stories. He was reading a book oneday, and said "This is funny, draw me in the book" So I did.. It was a cuase for much rejoicing.
(Fictional Characters)
Ikojen: Yes, thats right, The proffesor of Timeguard, vampire rpg, and Gathering fame has been showing up for years in my comics.. Originally he was an alter ego of mine I drew in gag strips I called "Samaria Theatre" Where at the time, a nameless samaria would wonder the land, battleing evil with a sword.. then I drew him killing an entire army of invading Space-Oni attacking a market square with only a fish he had just bought... and I thought the scene was funny enough it eventually lead to the creation of Calming.
HAL: The laboratory's super computer, given an android body. HAL's a raging homosexual, and has filled up his compleatly infinate personal hard drive with gay-porn on several occasions. For reasons I forget the details of, He got me drunk enough once to have his way with me, then decided he'ld fuck with my head even more and build a child that I would father.. That was one WEIRD storyline..
Reaper: My Child with HAL. If any of you have played the RTS game "Machines" for the PC, Reaper is based of the unit of the same name.. only he's cuter.
Sproket: Another character that found his way to the rpg's. The guyver and jetli gags I threw on for the gathering rpg, but in pretty much every other respect he's identicle. Wild hair, bad attitude, and ketchup addition. He's also got a collection of pilferred weapons from several bad guys we've fought.
Kitty: My wife in the comic strip. Oneday my character got bored, and ordered a mail-order bride from russia. However since I got the fully customisable selection, whe arrived in a box labled "some assemble required" So I had to build her from the ground up.. I also added in a few features, such as turning her into a cat-person and giving her built in plasama cannons.
Mr.Enamy: The stories main antagonist (atleast in the storylines where I myself didn't turn evil and set out to destory the world.. and mind you, I came damn close) Mr. Enamy was born with a severe facial deformity. He's ALWAYS smileing. No matter how much you beat the crap out of him, he litterally can't do anything but smile about it... Of course, he'll still complain about it.. and he does so alot. He's a wuss like that... His main method of evil is to make some sort of huge giant bio-monster and sending it out to attack a city.. Then when the monster's destroyed, he builds a new one.
Hank Enamy: Mr. Enamies illigetamate son. No mention of his mother is ever made.Hell, I'm not sure if he's even Mr. Enamie's son or not.. I just decided to draw him in there one day asking his dad to borrow the keys to the giant robot for a hot date...
Whooo, that's alot of Malarky, ain't it?
YEah.. I'm in a mood to pic the stories up again.. so I'll probobly end up posting some drawings, or even half finished comics at random intervals.. and thought you guys might want some backstory... or maybe I'm just testing you all to see how much of my ramblings you can stomach before you commit sepuku with a wodden ladle.
