10/07/09 [PF #71] - Yay! More awkward!

Jairus · July 10, 2009, 05:53:30 PM

Oh, Dorcan, there you go making friends everywhere you go! Also, I sense a class three backstory storm approaching on the horizon. Or at the very least more awkwardness.

EDIT: Doesn't Ren get back in nine days, not seven days?

I thought it was the 18th. Turns out it's the 19th, but it all depends. If he does manage to draw the next page, and if he doesn't then leave the sketchbook at the Village like last time, it might be worth stalling until Monday. That's my reasoning, anyhow.

It's just a premonition for now. We get a few hints... the most significant chunk of backstory where he's concerned (in the immediate future) will be done by a guest artist for an upcoming chapter.

Maybe he hates Joshy boy for wearing a purple jacket.

He already did, though at the time Daryil was contrubiting to the gratuitous fan service this comic portrays.

Though one thing comes to my mind when I see those two about to duke it out... Sibling Rivalry... They both are androids and they both were made by the same technique in the same facility. So in a way they are both brothers.

Oh! Right you are! Hehe.. but he is without a purple shirt

Perhaps a purple leotard would work better...

*hint* *hint* (more fanservice! XD just kidding..

)

.. and I didn't think of it that way.. about them being brothers. Jakob is creating more children without really intending to!

That's what happens when you make android bodies, you accidentally (and some could say literally) build life, be it artificial life.
... and then you come across the concept of extended android families. It would be even worse if they were mass produced
Imagine having over 2000 brothers and sisters around the world. The family reunion would be ...quite different.

Worse: what if they were your great-grandmother?

1000 great-grandmothers: "Oh goodness us how much you've grown! Come over here and let us pinch those cheeks of yours!"

Okay, yeah, stupid sleep-deprived idea. Sorry.

Eeek.

Jubblies, you evil evil sod. ;-]

That's just horrible. Not least because only half of them would be grandmothers. The other half would be the great grandfathers.

"You young whippersnappers get off my lawn!"
"Back in my day... we wore an onion, which was the style of the time..."
"Has anyone seen my shirt?"

... not to mention the obscenities...

Tapewolf · July 13, 2009, 05:56:41 AM

Think 'cubi clan reunions. Though Daryil clan gatherings are somewhat more Anthrocon-like.

llearch n'n'daCorna · July 13, 2009, 07:34:46 AM

Heh. Full of fruits and nuts? ;-]

Or full of people trying to get along, despite every one of them being fed up to the back teeth with Daryil's antics?

... Actually, on second thoughts, there's no reason both can't be true...

Zedd · July 13, 2009, 09:57:09 AM

Your clan meetings sound safer than mine

I think for androids and the lot it would probably go something like...

"Back in my day we didn't have all this fancy technology, we didn't have fancy internal fusion reactors, were steam powered, it was all we had and we liked it."

Alternatively, they could make a reference to AA batteries...

"Something to burn? Eh, you all are a bunch of pansies! We were powered by the movement of glaciers! I don't even know how that works, but we were!"

Wouldn't that somehow qualify you for cold fusion?

One could say this is a meeting of the prototype and the model 2.

Tapewolf · July 18, 2009, 09:03:26 AM

Just as a reminder, I'm holding out until Ren gets back (Sunday?) before deciding whether to run the Questions strip or wait a day for a real update.

EDIT:

Ren is back, but the lineart is still in pencil form. It should be inked tomorrow, so we are most likely looking at a Sunday/Monday update.
