Title: The Doctor is [not] busy...
Post by: techmaster-glitch on May 14, 2008, 08:54:10 PM
Am I seeing things, or is this our very own dear Doctor Ink? Link (http://foxfire.comicgenesis.com/d/20080512.html)
Everything about him certainly fits the profile;, the blond hair, the white fur, the glasses, the lab coat, the casual demeanor as he is utterly soaked in someone's red juices...

The "this" is was a link. Sorry, hard to see on the purple backround. Fix'd

Well, given I saw Turnsky talk about the page on Llearch's chat room and compare likeness...


...I have to say complete coincidence.

I was figuring it was some sort of cameo...

This strip has already been mentioned for having what appeared to be the clothing of Abel and Dan for sale (http://foxfire.comicgenesis.com/d/20070903.html).  In addition to having somebody who looked like Ink (http://foxfire.comicgenesis.com/d/20080512.html), there may be other DMFA references.

By the way, linking to the home page of an online comic means that it will point to the wrong page when the next page is posted.

I actually saw that the other day but never made the connection to Dr Ink. but I see what you mean about likeness.

I am aware of this, but going back, and then forward in the comic still brought me to the main page. New pages must not go diretly into the archives. I'll update the link the next time Foxfire is updated, which, if this recent updated is anything to go by, will probably be well more than a week (if this thread lasts that long, that is-it probably won't :B)

First off, http://foxfire.comicgenesis.com/d/20080512.html
That's the link you want.

Secondly, I would bet quite a bit that its a cameo, especially as I know Ink and Turnsky talk on the unofficial, and somewhat unholy chatroom all the time.

I was actually very surprised that I did not see "Dr. Ink. Copyright 2008 himself." or something like it at the bottom.

And yes, I was thinking that it is probably a cameo as well.

Isn't Foxfire the comic that made a drastic change around to being more DMFA related when the writer for it left or something?
Title: Re: The Doctor is [not] busy...
Post by: techmaster-glitch on May 15, 2008, 07:14:10 PM
All I know is that for all of the first book, it was super sci-fi, and the second (one running right now) immediately went straight to fantasy.
I can't say that's a good or bad thing, but that's all I know about the subject. I personally would like to see a return of all the sci-fi :)

No, the writer left after 8 pages or something, back in 2003.  The switch from SF to pure fantasy was almost exactly a year ago.

Like Techmaster, I do miss the high-tech angle of it somewhat, but that hasn't stopped me following it avidly.

What are we looking for there? I do see a giant syringe up in the rafters. Stolen from Ink or left behind by him?

in my defense (i know i'm not being attacked), i took a hard look at foxfire before book 2, where it was going, and where it would be.. i didn't really like what i was seeing, and it was getting too complex for my blood, i figured shifting it to a separate world would give me a LOT of freedom, and let me do whatever the hell i want with it. The science bit will return in some fashion, if only a little bit grungier.  >:3
Don't forget, Takahn and Bengahl have some knowledge of high technology.. prepare for some funky mixings.

That's one of the reasons I like DMFA so much, because it fuses the two.  It would be great to see that happen in Foxfire.

actually, i think DMFA keeps magic and tech rather separated, i haven't seen any large scale experimentation (other than mows) to fuse the two.. most likely because it'd fail epically.... kinda like chernobyl.  >:3

The patches seem to be the cutting edge of that.  But it could be the start of something big.

well, patches don't scream "large scale" they're more on the level of Ipods and other such consumer electronic goods.

As I understand it, they're one of the first ever successful fusings of magic and tech, so yes, it's bound to be a small beginning.

In any case, what I was really referring to was that DMFA has a setting which supports and uses both science and technology.  Often it's either one or the other.  Artifacts which use both together are interesting, but not actually what I had in mind.

Don't massive explosions and world-endings happen when science and magic mix?  I can think of a few video games where they mixed magic and tech, and it never turned out good...

It's the small things that affect everybody that make the greatest impact, where would we be without the pen/pencil, for instance?

Why have I never seen this comic before? :dface i need to spend more time here  :razz I'll bookmark it and read through the archives after my exams  :boogie :)
