Be careful what you wish for. Speaking of which, all of the victims on this page are characters from other webcomics, sentenced by their own creators. Those monsters! Seven and a half cameos in one page. Whew! By panel number, the unfortunate victims are:
- Uncle Greedy from Steampunk Gorgon by SPG.
- Xerxes from Kyria by Aero Zero. What’s in the box Aero?
- Stephanie from Groovy, Kinda by Charlie. My sincerest apologies.
- The author of How We Stay Sane @ Work, ProjectShiro.
And, Bob’s feet from Elsewhere by Joe5art. - Pato from M9 Girls! by Rulo and Kanela.
- Captain Wizard from Magic Scienceland.
- Greasepaint the psycho clown, as a cuddly toy.
May they all rest in peace.
You can help preserve their memory by reading their stories.
Brilliant! Dangit, I need to start doing a comic again so I can join in on this kinda stuff.
You need to start doing a comic again for a whole lot of reasons, brother.
This was awesome, Andy. I love the depth you got with focus and color. And the clever way you killed everyone.
I can’t believe that you killed the sweetest, most adorable character in my comic.
Just wait till the Jackal comes to judge you…
🙂 I tried to make a steampunk version of the scene where Stephanie got hit by a car, but it didn’t work in that sized panel. Besides, I’m sure right after Mr. Lewis attempted to chloroform her she kicked his ass, stole his chemicals and huffed them herself anyway.
Oh, Stephanie wouldn’t kick his ass. She’d take his knife away and give him a good talking to about sneaking up behind people.
Then she’d probaby drink the choroform.
Michael, yes. Yes, you need to make more comics. Will you have more time after the the Underdogs changeover? What about 1 or 2 page short stories?
The parallel I Mummyverse versions of these beloved characters meet their grisly ends. I’m sure that the cast of Ruby Nation can also face ignominious fates, if you’re so inclined…
I will keep Ruby in mind. I hadn’t planned to do cameos at all, but saw an opportunity and ran with it. Next time it’ll probably be something completely different.
looks like everyone’s favorite ancient pokemon is coming. it’ll stop perhaps more thoroughly than he would prefer. no field of reeds for him!
It’s super effective!
Your creativity continues to amaze me. You’d think I’d be used to that to now, but I’m not.
Aww, thanks man.
I second that. Every I, Mummy! strip is full of surprises and wonder.
Poor Xerxes! He was just going home with a present for his dear friend Osric!
Although he’d probably be amused to see his severed head as well.
Thanks for the cameo! Love the rippling tile in last panel.
Aww! Poor Pato! Probably she is not as fast teleporting in the I Mummy dimension!
I am an evil creator, yeah…
It’s funny how most of these characters would kick his ass in their own universe. Perhaps that’s what happens here, too, and he’s being judged on being a failure as an assassin?
Weren’t you going to kill one of mine too? 😉
🙁 I tried, and even squished in more cameos than planned. I did consider using one of the kids from the monastery, but … well, I’m not ready to go that dark, yet.
I thought I was dark with my killing of characters! The horror! The horror!
I love each moment you picked–not the exact moment of killing, but the most impactful parts.
Ha! I keep wimping out in making this comic more bloody than it already is. Just can’t do it. Leaves more to the imagination, I guess.
I think it works a lot better this way.
Good old uncle greedy, resting in…scotch whiskey. The best coffin he could wish for.
He’s like a giant tequila worm. Adds flavor. What flavor that might be, I don’t wanna know.
It’s “ye old junkie scotsman”. Very special flavour, only for experts.
Looking at the picture, I suddenly had the idea for an crossover-comic starting from there. As I wont have time to draw it, I can at least tell it.
1. Ariane, who brought Uncle Greedy along through a portal, finds his body. (Most likely she left him behind as guard while she was exploring the cellar or something like that.)
2. While she is weeping for him, she drinks from the whiskey, plotting for revenge.
3. She learns that the killer is already departed, so she hires a ruthless thug (he’s called Rudolph and looks like Boris Karloff as the brutish butler in “The Old Dark House”) to dig up the killers body and take him along.
4. She revives the killer with necromancy and offers him to drink some whiskey with her.
5. The killer makes a remark of the unusual flavor, so she tells him what wiskey it is, somehow like that: “Uncle greedy was a good oldie-old scotsman, so he rests in good old scottish whiskey. You are just a filthy-filthy pig, so I have a barrell of pig manure waiting for you. Come in, Rudolph!”
6. Rudolph, who was hiding behind the door, comes in and throws the killer into a barrel. Then he decides he is more interested in Ariane then into his mission, and grabs her.
7. Although she is only half his size, she has some experience with such situations and finally gets rid of him (poison or magic). She discovers that the killer took the chance and escaped from the barrel and his gruesome fate.
8. The revived killer is back into the world and may be troublesome again.
Make it so!
Thought you’d like to know I corrected my grievous error and read your whole archive today. Now I finally know what that lump of clothes in that puddle is!!
Yay, another convert! Thanks for reading and taking time to comment. “Lump of clothes” hehe. Wait ’til you see the next page… (evil grin).
I really regret not jumping onto the WU thread sooner and offering up one of my guys. I like the coloring effect of the departed, too.
I’ll come up with something in the next volume. It won’t be the same, but it’ll be weird. 🙂 Thanks again for the cameo in Area 42.
I note with amusement that he’s all defensive and “not ME” until you show him burning a hole in the head of the doll with the magnifying glass – THEN he’s horrified by what he’s done….
~snicker~
I love the design of the scale.
Thanks, that was fun to come up with. Glad you liked it.
Thats… a sad (but funny for us!) ending for a lot of good characters… 😀
