02/22/09 [DMFA #977] - Amber's a Gangstah

Sukasa · February 26, 2009, 10:53:26 PM

...You get some very interesting emails, Amber o_O. I have to laugh at yours and Fluffy's expressions in the second (third?) panel. do you get emails like this often?

EDIT: bah, accidentally submitted too early.

VSMIT · February 26, 2009, 10:54:37 PM

Verily. We need to figure out who this Caleb is. And how someone mistook him for a DMFA character.

Jairus · February 26, 2009, 10:56:49 PM

No clue. The Wikipedia article's no help at all.

Still, I love your Questions From The Readers, Amber. And it sucks that your mice seem to hate you.

EDIT: Besides, Vampires are extinct. We all know that.

Lisky · February 26, 2009, 10:59:59 PM

... not only do we need to figure out who this Caleb is... i think we should kill him...

why do we kill this vampire, 2 reason, #1, they're supposed to be extinct... he is violating the scientific definition of extinction... and therefore must be put in line...

#2... it'll be amusing...

Corgatha Taldorthar · February 26, 2009, 11:01:37 PM

pfahahahahahahaha. Nice break from the drama.

I don't remember for certain, as I wasn't an avid fan, but I seem to recall a "Caleb" as an important late series villian in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. (There's also Kaleb from Alcritas's arc, but that's even more obscure and spelled differently)

GabrielsThoughts · February 26, 2009, 11:06:10 PM

When I deleted my fan comic I re colored, edited, and re named Abel Caleb... However, I only kept the first three pages since it more or less actually happened but still I don't understand why or how there could be confusion related to that since it was only used as a filler.

EDIT: I have no vampires...as of yet

also this could be CVRPG confusion or Last resort confusion since they have vampies.

Maybe we can have Abel do it... I mean, they both have biblical names... seems only right... would have been better if the reader had asked for Cain though.

icarus · February 26, 2009, 11:15:53 PM

this gave me a laugh because i have a friend named caleb who i could easily see writing a letter like that to an artist he admired as a joke

though i don't think it's him, it was a funny mental image

Noone · February 26, 2009, 11:26:03 PM

Maybe Caleb was this character.

GabrielsThoughts · February 26, 2009, 11:30:05 PM

I thought amber said the vampiers went extinct as a result of "over specialization."

Huzzah!!! miracle.

so wait, is Caleb the vampire or the dragon thing?

Darkmoon · February 26, 2009, 11:44:24 PM

I can assure you there is no Caleb in CVRPG.

Although, that said, now I want there to be.

Janus Whitefurr · February 26, 2009, 11:47:18 PM

"Caleb?"
"Gabriel?"
"Gabriella. It's a long story."
"Save it for someone who cares."
"Is that any way to greet an old friend?"
"Things have changed, but I don't need to tell you that."
"I have to go with you. Find out what's going on."
"You're not my type."
"Looked in the mirror lately? You're no cat yourself."

As a character who dies horribly in one comic?

Speaking of which... I have finally started reading CVRPG. Wish me luck.

Um... what?

Lisky · February 26, 2009, 11:50:40 PM

Dark... Caleb doesn't exist yet, and he's already earned himself a lethal does of ire from myself...

i don't know when he'll get involved, but rest assured, when he does, he's getting an injection of silver-nitrate and garlic extract... (because as a soon to be doctor, i have to kill people in doctor like ways)

I thought caleb was the name of that random guy...they hooked up with that one time. I never did/could remember his name.

*Just Great* , now I have to trawl through CVRPG and prove myself wrong.... NAAAAH I'll take your word for it. wait are you sure Caleb isn't the guy from the future they saw in the waterfall in the future of another comic?

mopman · February 27, 2009, 12:03:25 AM

Drat I was going to mention the extinction of Vampires via Dragon landing but you beat me to it , oh well

Ganurath · February 27, 2009, 12:03:34 AM

My money says that Caleb is a horrible, horrible spelling error, and that they meant Abel.

I'm not a gambling sort, but I agree with that assessment. "Caleb" is an anagram for "Abel" plus "C."

Clearly a 200-page backstory is not enough for some people. TBH, I'm quite happy with it. The only thing that could make me happier is if it updated more without losing quality. However, that would probably kill Amber after about a week of doing that (even if she is a gangstah), and that would most certainly not make anyone involved happy.

first thing i thought of, but that Caleb's not a vampire, technically speaking, he's either undead, immortal, or whatever.

@Amber-Rant: Is there anything you can do in the interim?.. Borrow/Cobble together a workable PC to do you until you're more prepared to spend funds on a more functional piece of hardware?
That said: does your tablet still function? or did that go like the mice, too? you use that as an somewhat awkward replacement for a mouse.

Terrion · February 27, 2009, 01:45:43 AM

Oddly, My first thought upon reading today's comic was: "OMG! Kirby ate Amber! You bas-- Um... Does this mean Kirby now has mad artist skills?"

Zina · February 27, 2009, 01:53:01 AM

Caleb is my super powerful Fae-Dragon mix. He's also super sexy and all the girls in DMFA wish to date him.
I am not surprised he is someone's favorite character.

Agika · February 27, 2009, 01:57:02 AM

Well, if you think about it...

If there is no Caleb in DMFA, then there definitely needs to be a lot more of him. What character needs an appearance more than a nonexistent one?

Zina · February 27, 2009, 02:25:58 AM

This is totally what Caleb looks like in my mind.
I am now going to copy and paste his image into every single DMFA comic, as he is the best DMFA character.

If that's Caleb, then I'm afraid that I must list him under the heading of Those Who Need to Die Deaths Too Painful and Horrible for Wildy...

Sure, camios are nice, and some of us even pay for really good ones, but that's a primal Mary-Jane if I ever saw one...

And now, thanks to Zina, we know who to look for...

Zina · February 27, 2009, 02:30:40 AM

You're just jealous because he is too awesome for you to handle.
I bet you wish you came up with a character as cool as Caleb.
I bet you do.

Terrion · February 27, 2009, 02:34:38 AM

Suuuuuure.

I too could have a popular fae-dragon mix that everyone just wanted to cuddle and love to pieces.

Too bad my awsome character would be laying about in a vegitive state for twenty-one years and twenty-one days before spontaneously dropping dead, since Hollows have no souls...

EDIT: I really need to figure out how to do archive links...

I can.

A character more powerful than a mere Fae.
Able to warp reality with nary a thought.
If this character wished it, the Fae would be fish.
And this character is loved by all who meet them, because they are that awesome.
Bow down before the glory of the coolest character to have ever existed!
