Need help finding someone to borrow their character. (EDIT: It's Taski's 'Bon')

[willow186129]

A few of my dad's cousins(all brothers) are named Primo(oldest), Secondo(middle), and Terzo(youngest). If you don't know Italian, that's first, second...obviously, and third ;-;

Not kidding.

Sometimes I wonder if some parents intentionally give their children bad names *shifty eyes*

[superluser]

I hear that was actually common in ancient Rome. They would name their kids in the order they were born. (Unus, Duus, Tresus, (okay, I made those up). Octavius would be 8th, etc.)

Actually, that was the standard for the girls.  The first would be named after the family (Julia, Claudia, Cornelia, &c.), then the girls would be named in order of birth (Secunda, Tertia, Quarta, &c).

Octavian was not the eighth child, the Octavius refers to his family name (so, for example, his first daughter should be named Octavia--except that Octavian was adopted by Julius Caesar, so he named her Julia)

There was a set of Peanuts strips where a family changed their last name to the ZIP code, I think.

Some time ago, I met a guy named "Ehecatl", that´s the name of the aztec god of wind, and a friend told me that a friend of both called her son "Tyr Aldebaran".  "Tyr" after a deity in the setting Forgotten Realms of Dungeons & Dragons, and "Aldebaran" after the Gold Saint in the Knight of Zodiac (Saint Seiya for the purist)

I bet that you make this face after knowing this fact...

Optimus Prime got mentioned earlier... how about that celebrity than named their kid Moon Unit?

Bah.  Forget the guy who did that.  I'm more interested in the guy who named his son Dweezil.

...Oh, right.

Frank Zappa, IIRC.

Dweezil Zappa. Moon Unit Zappa. Sounds a lot like an insect device...

Taski, I sent you a PM about Bon. Hopefully you get it before the 24th, or at least the 26th.

[GabrielsThoughts]

this thread has really devollved into a name game. what about people who name their children Binky or boys named Susan or duane

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

Mr and Mrs Pipe, you mean? :-)

[fesworks]

Well, I have not heard from Taski, so I whipped up something different that what I originally suggested.... but here is the art thus far.... Bon took up two panels... each of the other cameo's took only one cameo.





Completed strip will be released Friday. I'll post it here if that's alright.

[ShiningShadow]

I think it's alright. I liked the cameo very cool.

[fesworks]

thanks I think I coulda done a little bit better. I might do an art piece at a different point. Bon is a fun character.

Hope Taski sees it

I wonder if your doing more camos

I wonder if your doing more camos

You can just ask instead of wonder


When I started my comic, I understood that it would probably be crappy and noone would read it (it spawned from utter depression, and is now anything but), so I made a few goals: 1) make it about whatever I want, even if other will not get it (screw them, its for "me", basically) and (2) Have as many cameos as possible where applicable.

So I plan to have cameos a lot. In fact there are at least 3 more cameos (a couple are extended cameos) before this arc is over... and after that I have one more pair of cameos, and then for the next arc, I have a group of cameos.

As far as this crystal communication sequence goes... I don't have plans to extend this, if I did I might cameo a character from Beastling (as hosted on Xepher.net like DMFA and my PSI are), but other than that, I was going to continue the story on Monday.

I've been to your site and I love it. Just keep doing what are you doing right now you have a following there and in my insignificant opinion that your comic is way cool.

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

Nice to see someone else remembers God and Anathus.

Pity that stopped updating...

Thanks very much! I try to keep doing what I do, and the current Arc is my biggest and most complex project. I'm hoping I can pull it off.

Acid Reflux is the second time I never got explicit permission to do a cameo. (they are unreachable) The first time was when I made a DMFA Mow doll during the "Going Camping" Arc... Amber never got back to me on e-mails so I just did a little little cameo... I know she's busy and all... I every other webcomic cameo has been through permission.
