page 39 (scroll down!) of this. The physics of the technique on display here don’t check out at all, but it was funny in my mind.
I’m still trying to figure this “ink” thing out. Likewise, I’m still not doing that. It’s getting more elaborate, but not any faster, clearer or easier. In fact, this actually looks worse with the way I color stuff than immediately after I scan it [four times, once from each corner and then reassemble the pieces]. Whoopth.
Also, the time has been two years since I last drew Rabivmip, (if we don’t include that one frame with the people running through the hall way, since I forgot about it) even though that was only 19 pages ago. What is wrong with me? The answer: something is wrong with me. I’m trying to be more outgoing and affable, so what’s wrong with you?
empanadas are not welcome here

With the arrival of the dope, we can be assured that the stupid stuff has just begun.
Interesting that Nemitz says “Elspe” here instead of “Alpshe’ (though that may simply be because the misidentification gag would be blunted somewhat otherwise). It also provides an amusing contrast to Nemitz’s long-established tendency to proclaim biv’s own name. Very self-reflexive.
Also, did you dismiss Moraff from his colorist position? I could not help but notice he is no longer listed in the credits…
Hejmrink sez:
I caught the speech correction, and assumed you’d notice it. I justified it to myself with the thinking “‘alpshe’ was pre-ping, for nemitz had injuries beyond its mangled legs.” Although I suppose I still haven’t explained just how nemitz was cured. I don’t expect when I do it will be a satisfying explanation, either.
I also figured, if nemitz can indeed say its own name, there is no reason that elpse’s should present difficulty. You may observe that elsewhere in the comic I show nemitz to not be able to speak its own name. I did that while temporarily ignorant of the precedent I established, rather than to be consistent with any injury-related further speech impedimentation that I had not yet decided had occurred. Or maybe I decided nemitz was adopting an accent there. I forget. I must already have forgotten that if it is true when I remembered the general scenario when I made the latest page. I should add at this time: hey nemitz, that disguise isn’t fooling ANYBODY. You’re still clearly a red and yella animal thing that can’t talk properly.
As for Moraff, it is possible he quit when he realized I was not paying him.
Jumbi sez:
I think you forgot to add in Nemitz’ tail in the last two panels, but otherwise it is amusing as always. The two of them are attracting quite a party!
The weapons of a certain pickaxe-nosed fish sez:
I (and I imagine most other readers) assumed that Nemitz’s recovery is related to Kumquat’s injectigration, especially as Kumquat came by complaining about the lack of a reaction shortly before Nemitz’s recovery took place. Unless of course this is all an elaborate misdirection, and Ping is indeed more effective than one might have been led to believe.
Also, is someone attempting to rob Top Hat Snake in the background…? Some people have no shame.

Just cause you got the monkey off your back doesn’t mean the circus has left town.
