Cos-Play Hero p47

I also drew up a quick animated short this week. I'll upload it to PPL-Comics.com as soon as I have the bugs worked out.

New T-Shirt and Mug!

I took a break from the graphic novel to do what I promised to do last week. Need a new mug? Now you can order one from my Redbubble store!
Sinister Android's Pub: Available on Mugs, T-Shirts, Etc!
Also, I wanted to share something for some friends of mine, dedicated to a character very dear to all our hearts: Nikki the Swapnote hostess!

Cos-Play Hero p46

Forty Six Pages. I'm almost halfway there. The story's just starting to pick up again.
If you're just joining us, the Rabbit was recently confronted by Jarka the Sinestroid, an evil robot modeled after the Raccoon. Jarka the Sinestroid has rendered himself virtually immortal through a seemingly endless supply of back-up copies of himself, and is apparently looking to the Rabbit for answers to some pressing matter, the knowledge of which he undoubtedly wishes to exploit for his own gain. Also, the first frame would look really good on a t-shirt, don't you think? I'll work on that.

Cos-Play Hero p45

If you're not familiar with the sinister robot Rabbit is fighting this week, it's named Jarka the Sinestroid, an evil robotic duplicate of everyone's favorite talking Raccoon. Go watch the Cyborg King series on PPL-Comics.com if you're not familiar. It's awesome.

Cos Play Hero p33, p34

Two comics this week! Lucky you!
Roughly one person total will get the joke in the first page.

Cos-Play Hero p42

I've increased the font size a little bit to make it more legible.
The Herman Cain joke is a running gag from a previous comic, in which Herman Cain appears as a cartoon dog in a long-running cartoon series.
Oh, and a new greeting card / t-shirt is up on my Red Bubble shop. Check it out.

Cos-Play Hero p41

Is anyone reading this? Just leave me a comment. I really need some feedback here. Is it legible? Can you see that the Christmas Elf in the third panel has a sharpened candy cane strapped to his arm?
The Juice Goblin is a character I doodled before I started this blog. I've been looking for a way to work him into the comic for years. Long time readers (or short time readers, if you've decided to binge read all my 300 plus posts in one sitting) might remember that Santa Claus has trouble taking responsibility for his traffic accidents.
Also, I just now realized that all the text was somehow taken out of Part 18. I have corrected this blunder here. You see, this is why I need you to keep reading this stuff.

Daylight what now?

Ugh... No new Cos-Player Hero comic this week. I've been working on a new cartoon, and it turned out to be a lot more work than I expected. Here's a preview:

Cos-Play Hero p40

That's forty pages! Yay me! Boy, it's going to take forever to color these...
Also, I think that's my second Lick Broccoli reference in this comic, if anyone is counting. If you are, I pity you.
Also, if this doesn't make sense, it's because it was supposed to appear after p37. I'm kind of switching back and forth between two parts of the storyline. It keeps me entertained.
I was wrong. This is the third Lick Broccoli reference. Maybe I shouldn't talk about Lick Broccoli so much. No one remembers Lick Broccoli. It may be a waste of time to talk about Lick Broccoli on my blog.

Cos-Play Hero p39

Cos-Play Hero p38

This is the first time The Internet has appeared in the comic. (He's the winged cat character, if you're not familiar.) I thought about pasting him in using the image I've already drawn, to keep with his previous appearances as a static sprite character, but I thought it would look really crummy in comic form. By the way, I forgot to mention last week that I've updated PPL-Comics.com with a new comics viewer and a music player. The music player makes use of cutting edge technology, so you might need to update your version of Chrome to whatever version comes out next year. Yeah, it's that high tech. That, or I didn't post it properly... but probably the browser. That's the kind of message I keep getting when I try to visit sites using MY browser, anyway. (I'll try and fix it later.)

Cos-Play Hero p37

Cos-Play Hero p36

That look on the ghost's face in the second to last frame is hilarious. I guess that guard just didn't have the wight stuff. (Remind me to add that pun in for the final version.) Anyway, I have no idea where that weird smudge over Evil Penguin's face came from, in the second frame.

Cos-Play Hero p35

Cos-Play Hero p34

Ugh. That last frame didn't turn out right. Try to ignore the artwork there. I'll fix it eventually.

Cos-Play Hero p33

Cos-Play Hero p32

It was... Howard the Duck.
Not really. You're just going to have to wait until next week... if you're reading this... which I know you're not, because readership is way down on this blog. What the heck happened, man!?

Cos-Play Hero p31

I didn't feel at all like writing a comic today, considering all the terrible things going on today, but I felt it my duty to lighten the mood. I hope it helps.

Cos-Play Hero p30

Popples were a thing. Look it up.

Cos-Play Hero p29

Note that this takes place before Olivia the Other Cos-Player finishes telling her story.

Cos-Play Hero p28

Okay, now that I've reached an exciting cliffhanger, I'm going to take some time off from the main storyline to fit in some amusing anecdotes and side stories.

Cos-Play Hero p27

Cos Play Hero p26

I'm not entirely happy with this one yet, but I'll rework it later. It's supposed to look like a medieval tapestry or a stained glass window. The mechanical creature is supposed to be wearing something resembling the death mask of Agamemnon. Google it.

Cos Play Hero p23, p24, p25

Try playing some intense action music while you read this.

Cos-Play Hero p22

Cos Play Hero p21

I meant to post this with the comic last week, but I had some technical difficulties in my house, and I had to take care of those first.

Cos Play Hero p20

I actually have another page I drew. I still need to add the speech, though. I'll post it soon. I would have posted sooner, but I had to take some time to enjoy Nintendo WiFi service on my DSi while it was still working.

Cos-Play Hero p19

Ugh... Why does she look like a bird in the second panel!? That's not how it looked on paper!
You're probably wondering why I had no new comic or cartoon last week. Well, it's because I've been working on a comic for Nintendo Force magazine. It should be appearing in the June issue. I recommend you order a copy.

Cos-Play Hero p18

I think I may have scanned it a little crooked... I'll fix it on the final version.

Busy Again

I'm busy with an undisclosed PPL project. Here is something I scribbled on my lunch break at work. Sorry for all the breaks in the storyline. I know it's driving my fan(s) crazy, but it can't be helped. More good stuff is on the way!

Cos Play Hero p17

Keep reading. This is starting to get good. There will be some fan-favorite characters appearing shortly.

Back from Vacation

I just got back from vacation. I'm working on the next part of the story line, but this thing I scribbled on my lunch break will have to suffice for now.

New Mindspace Shooter Update

Hey! I made some further improvements to my Flash game.
Mindspace Shooter VB3
I have much more exciting news to discuss, though. Have you heard about the newest confirmed character for Smash Bros. on Wii U and 3DS?
Nester!

If you're not familiar, Nester is the comic mascot of the now defunct Nintendo Power magazine, which ended its run in December of 2012. Nester is also the star of the Virtual Boy classic "Nester's Funky Bowling," and was featured in "Pro Action Football" on the NES, as well as being mentioned in "Startropics" and "To the Earth." They've not revealed any info about his attacks yet. I'm assuming from the pictures that his Final Smash attack involves throwing a bowling ball at opponents, and that he uses an NES Zapper for his specials. What do you guys think? Are you as excited as I am for this long-neglected hero to finally get his due?

Cos Play Hero P16

Cos-Play Hero, p15

I don't know if this is funny enough. I may be editing the dialogue before the final product.

Cos Play Hero p13 and p14

Cos-Play Hero p12

The trouble with doing a serialized story like this is that sometimes you have to spend a whole comic on exposition and set up. Sorry nothing interesting happened this week.

Cos-Play Hero p11

Cos-Play Hero p10

If I failed to mention it last week, there's a new demo for my game up at PPL-Comics.com. Mind you, it's still a work in progress.

Cos-Play Hero p9

That's supposed to be a Sockenbearen-themed clock radio tuned to the police radio frequency. I'm not sure it turned out right. Hopefully, this will all look better when I color it.

Cos Play Hero p8

Page Eight of the ongoing epic. Late, for no reason.

Cos-Play Hero p7

It didn't really come together until I put in the text, but I'm pleased with how convoluted this week's comic is.
