More stupid comics.
the part immediately prior
I’m sure I had something I wanted to tell you about this, but I’ve long since forgotten.
However, it has twice come at my attention that the other most recent “pages” appear to either be going backwards or to take place in the past entirely. Well, they aren’t and don’t. Confusion may have been instigated because both the complementary colored buffoons’ destination and the place they have come from are dome shaped, plus the creature that always talks seems unsure of what the new dome is. Also, NEMITZ starts in a chair, but then isn’t in a chair, as it wasn’t prior to arriving at the first dome-shaped place. Another problem may be, and it’s been this way for two years, when a viewer reaches the end of the pages I have done with, a link marked “NO” would send viewer to a listing of all pages, a listing which viewer most likely did not come from, and without receiving any indication that, ehhh, the “story” is unfinished, a person may suspect the links lead to some place new when in actuality they do not.
Keilphix Kumquat sez:
NOW I CAN BECOME THE NEW NEMITZ!
Eeplivopu sez:
Well, there is considerable paperwork involved.
Grotius sez:
A dome? I don’t recall them ever coming from a dome. Unless you’re referring the the frontispiece to Kumquat’s Kompound, but I imagine that would be difficult for anyone to confuse with the current location. I certainly don’t remember any mention of their point of origin being a dome. If somebody else noticed this, they must have been paying better attention than I was, in which case they also should have noticed that Nemitz’s chair was lost in the same pool of muck from which the dope now following them arose, because I noticed that, and to be paying better attention than me, one have to notice it as well. What’s more, the fact that Nemitz is injured at all should be a significant clue, since ze was only struck a short time before arriving on Kumquat’s doorstep, and is seen to be perfectly ambulatory in the one instance wherein we actually do visit the (fairly recent) past.
But be that as it may, I must admit I that the previous mention of Fringo lead me to assume he would look rather more similar to Ringo Starr (perhaps with some Frito-Lay-derived influence). Perhaps the two resemble each other in other, less obvious ways?
Eeplivopu sez:
First of all, I can’t believe you used the “ze” pronoun. I thought that would become a personal source of embarrassment when I used it.
I don’t know what the time confusion was caused by. It’s hard to get that cleared up when speaking to the person whose confusion it is. I assumed the problem was dome related in the absence of another plausible explanation. It is my hope that your level of comprehension of this work is more common.
Fringo was called “Popilopilopous” up until less than a week ago. It was intended to be reminiscent of “Rastapopolous,” one of Tintin’s acquaintances, but I realized they otherwise had little in common, regarding behavior, appearance and thug hierarchy, so it was a waste of the name. Fringo almost had a beard.
A spoon-fed knight. sez:
I always thought “ze” was a pretty good pronoun, being instantly recognizable as such while still not belonging to any existing gender groups (whereas “zuh”, for example, I did not even realize was intended as a pronoun until you pointed such out). Also, it puts one in mind of the stereotypical cartoon French waiter, Ã la “ze soup” etc., which of course makes for Big Laffs.
However, whatever third-person pronoun you use, it would probably be best if used consistantly, unless of course you intend for linguistic convention to demand that lizard-people be referred to as “biv”, Nemitzes as “ze”, and so forth.
