Cos-Play Hero p74

I thought of the "Nutty Bars" thing because I've been eating Nutty Bars.

Cos-Play Hero p73

That's supposed to be a Tim Allen grunt there at the end. "UWAAAAGH!?

Cos-Play Hero p72

Something, something, words, explanation, Ryu, Earthbound, gotta go now, BYE!

Cos-Play Hero p70 and p71

That second one is kinda creepy, right? Raccoon sure has problems. If this is your first time here, let me assure you that my comic usually makes... slightly more sense than this.

I'm running a little late. New stuff coming soon.

Cos-Play Hero p69

Previously, Olivia and Sunglasses received word that Cos-Player had been kidnapped. Is it true, or are they being led into a trap?

Sorry there's not much action in this one. I'm tying together a lot of plot threads before the final act, and it's requiring a lot of set-up.

Cos-Play Hero p67

I'm more of a Street Fighter fan, so I'm not even sure if this joke makes sense. Ironically, you still have to pay for Mortal Kombat snacks using Bison Dollars.
I could go for some Tatsumaki-Fruit-Snacks right now.

Cos-Play Hero p67

Sorry. This one's a bit rough. I had to spend some time on another side project this weekend.

Cos-Play Hero p65

PREVIOUSLY, on PPL-Comics:

...and now...

Part 65 takes place immediately after Part 27, so I decided to reprint it here, to save you the trouble of looking it up. Aren't I considerate? I also had to edit the dialogue a little bit in Part 27 to facilitate this connection. It actually solves a couple problems I had with the plot, since I really had no idea where the two Cos-Players had been dropped off after the helicopter crash. I bet you didn't know how this Paranormal Investigators sub plot had anything to do with Olivia's narrative, but... now you know... and knowing is half the battle.
As for Agent Carl Foxx, I have plans to work him into the story again later on.

Cos-Play Hero p64

Cos-Play Hero p63

I'm not sure it's clear what happened. The creature escaped its chrysalis.
By the way, I updated my other website, PPL-Comics.com. I fixed the music player, and I've been working on the visual aspects of the site. I think it's lookin' pretty good there!

Cos-Play Hero p62 and New Cartoon

No real joke in this one, besides the hilarious physical humor of Agent Foxx falling on his head at the end. Look how flat his head looks! He's like some kind of vulpine anvil.
I may not have mentioned it, but my latest cartoon can be found here. Es ist ausgezeichnet!

New Cartoon, Coming Soon.

No comic today, but I will have a new cartoon up at PPL-Comics.com on Wednesday. I've finished the animation, but I need a to do some editing, and finish this music I've been composing. I hope you all like polka!

Cos-Play Hero, p61

As some of you may have guessed, that wasn't a mysterious monster in the last comic, but actually just Dethro. Well, it was a different mysterious monster, I guess I should say. Long-time readers might remember that I usually give Dethro a weird, distorted, hand-drawn, and hard-to-read font when he speaks, but I'm experimenting with ways to make the comic easier to read on smaller devices, so I thought this red on black font would do in a pinch. I'll probably go back to the hand-drawn text for Dethro before the final version.

Cos-Play Hero p60

What the HECK is it, Edgar!? Has Agent Carl Foxx's panic awakened a sleeping giant? What will befall our heroes? Find out next week, on the PPL-Comics show!

Cos-Play Hero p59

I'm really happy with how the second frame turned out. The last frame, though, looks terrible, and I'm kind of creeped out just looking at it. (I obviously threw the first frame together at the last minute. I really need to practice my backgrounds.) Is the Scooby Snacks joke funny at all? I had to draw this page to move the plot along, so I kind of came up with the punchline after the fact.

Cos-Play Hero p58

Cos-Play Hero p57

This was supposed to be a two-pager, but I'm still working on page 2. That's why this joke doesn't have a punch line.

Comic will be late. Feeling sick. Tree pollen too high. Curse you, tree pollen! Come in here and fight me like a man!!! Update: Feb 17, 2015. Still working on the next page of the comic. In the mean time, I've uploaded the next part of my series of animated shorts. Check it out by clicking these letters.

Cos-Play Hero p56

I'm taking a slight detour from the storyline while I figure out how to tie all these plot lines together. I'm doing a short sub-plot about two paranormal investigators working for the FCC. This takes place at the same time as Olivia's story.

Cos-Play Hero p53, p54, and p55

I thought about spacing these out over the whole week, but... why hold this thing up any longer?

Cos-Play Hero p52

Agh. I really hate how this one turned out.

Cos-Play Hero p50 and p51

If you caught the joke on the LARS' bumper sticker, you must have golden eyes.
Oh, and there's a fifteen percent off sale at Redbubble. This would be the perfect time to pick up some of my shirts or mugs or what have you. Use the code "TWENTY15" at checkout.

Cos-Play Hero p49

Oh, no, Jarka the Sinestroid... Don't you know not to reveal your plan like that? Three guesses what the Rabbit is going to do now! (Is this maybe part of your plan, though?)
Okay, even I am getting frustrated with how long this subplot is taking. I promise you all this is going somewhere good.
Sorry about that smudge near the Sinestroid's left hand. That's my own blood. I had a little cut on my hand while I was writing, and I accidentally smeared it on the paper. It was too far in the process for me to start over, so I'll just have to edit it out later. No one can say I've not literally bled for this project. Is that edgy or what?

Cos-Play Hero p48

No jokes this week, but check out that epic fight scene! This was meant to be a two page comic, but I ran out of time, due to holiday festivities, so you'll have to wait till next week to see what is about to be revealed. Also, I have a very short cartoon ready to be posted on PPL-Comics.com... but don't get your hopes up. This one's kind of a stinker.

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
