It was November of 2001 by this point, and not only had I run out of ideas, but the computer which I made the comics with encountered unfortunate misfortune. I mean it had ceased functioning. While I was somewhat glad to not be dealing with these things anymore, that it had not ended by my choosing bothered me for months, so I eventually resumed. There were other reasons as well, none of them good, I assure you.


I have no idea if this makes sense or not.

Also: the occasionally mentioned "pog" is not a Plok ripoff. Pog is actually a ripoff of one of those whack-a-mole things from the Super Scope 6 game, which I saw in a magazine once. See, I'm even less creative than you thought.


That comparatively small-headed robot is in Megaman 8, which I've never played. However, the quote people tell me that at some point a character with the same name as the one who's sprites I stole from a website which people steal sprites from, says these words, these exact words. For all I know, it happens in the exact same context as this, in which case there is no joke. I suspect there might not be one anyway.

Also, according to the filenames on the images I saved to construct this, it apparently was very frustrating.


I changed Dr. Light's shoes for this one. I knew they had looked wrong before, but couldn't figure out why. Until here. Now you can too! A'doiyhee!


There was a machine at some restaurant called "The Ground Round" which said those exact words whenever a person walked past it. People walked past it a lot.

I thought for certain someone would take that Roll image from the third panel and incorporate it into some extra-creepsy Megaman-porn-sprite-idiocy comic. If anyone has, I'd love to hear about it in as vague detail as possible.


Oikes. Another one with a story. Right, so Ezzbored had just (if I'm not mistaken) discontinued their free "service" (as if an ezboard has ever been made with noble intentions in mind), so Dave Anez got one of his cronies (more on them later) I forgot to write that part. And now I don't feel like it. to give him a new one. I quickly became uninterested by it, but not before seeing a post from someone called "Deccus" comparing the Dr. Wily edit it/she/he had done to my own. Because the regular Dr. Wily looks kind of odd, comic people tend to edit it. One of the criticism like remarks presented for mine was that it resembled a monkey because of the elongated arms. Apparently this bothered me a lot at the time. Now, I could've argued that the arms would be correct length had Dr. Wily, and in fact every Megaman character not been so midgety, or that the Netscape-pallete-dithered Deccus sprites I found somewhere to make this had far more serious arm-length issues, but instead did the mature thing and made a comic about it. Right, so not only have I shown myself [again] to be a serious jope, but maybe three people ever saw both that post and this comic, and made the connection. So I've proved nothing, and alienated people. Some things never change.

I might have said nothing, and possibly omitted this one altogether, but the deccus dealings unfortunately do not end here. Hopefully, they end here. (that's the last page of this section, so you'll get there anyway if you survive the rest. Think of that link as a warp zone)


Although you probably weren't, in case you were wondering, the "kind of odd" looking Dr. Wily sprites are only seen briefly at the end of Megaman 7 following a yeah-rightingly difficult final battle. For the purposes of looking somewhat concerned moments before being crushed-but-not-killed by a steel beam, this suffices. However, the rest of the time, he just appears to have a serious problem of some sort.


Directly following yeahrightingly difficult final battle, Wily warns Megaman that the first rule of robotics prohibits robots from attacking humans, and then Megaman says "I AM MORE THAN A ROBOT." Sure. And then the ceiling caves in.


A line similar to the one in the second panel was in all the promotional spots for some movie a while back, but for all I know it was cut from the actual movie, because I never saw it. Fortunately, some months ago I was delighted to discover I was not the only one.

Actually, I think the second rule of robotics is something like: "Never let harm come to a human through your inaction." Were you aware that there were more than one rule of robotics? I don't think so.

I acknowledge my error. Congratulations, you win one (1) cookie. I have rendered humankind a great disservice by presenting a mistruth through one of our most culturally significant and respected digital mediums, the Megaman sprite-comic. Truly I am surprised, as I would've thought the comics bearing my fake-name would have long been purged by this point. The last time my meager dial-up connection was able to penetrate the throngs of jope who defend the stronghold, the Anez overlord had yet to upload comics 114 through 118, which I attempted to deliver upon the date of February the seventeenth. Tell me, good citizen, has such an act come to pass as of this current time? If they have been deemed unsatisfactory, I see no reason why their predecessors should linger and continue to pollute the minds of aspiring roboticists.

Were u being sarcastic?

Were u?

And all the e-mail I display is going to be formatted like that. So.


As you can clearly see, it was I who had run out of ideas by this point.


This is the last comic I made for quite some time, number 70. I don't know why I have it saved as 65, though.


Not only have I refered to forum posts, something I hoped I would never do, here's something even worse. And on the same page, at that. You've likely seen more of Zero Wing than you would have liked, but perhaps you are not so clear on the methij board reference thing. Do people really do that a lot? Yes, yes they do. There was this one f'comic called "Mega Band and the Search for Six" which featured dopes' message board egos auditioning to be in Megaman's merry mariachi marching band. I'm not going to research any message board, let alone melt my brain with that one, as chances are I still wouldn't find the comic very funny. MBatSfS might have redeemed itself, but they never found Six. Sickos, maybe, but Six remains unfound. I received an anonymous tip the other day that it was hiding out in an abandoned warehouse between 5 and 7. But that turned out to be Six O'Clock, some Irish ruffian who despite causing a few minor disturbances in the past, was not the one I was looking for. O'Clock informed me that it was, quote, "time for Teletubbies." Lousy drunken mick.


Never accept advice from something that falls into a hole for a living.

Do you see the roller-coaster track in the background? Probably you don't. Still, I went and edited it out of the comic before this to better create an abandoned effect, but the dialogue thingies covered it up. Not that I've ever seen a carnival with a roller coaster. Months of my life I spent on all this. Can you believe it?
