Weekly Digimon Comic: Digimon Tamers - page 29.5

...or, to put it another way, I can totally imagine that freaky Honeycombs monster thing being a Digimon.

Weekly Anime Comic: Magic Knight Rayearth - page 1.5

I mean, yeah, I know it's a magical girl staple, and I do know that their armor gets more elaborate down the line, but still! You gotta admit it's a little weird, right?

Weekly Digimon Comic: Digimon Tamers - page 29

Yeah, I've seen The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari before, but that was a looooooong time ago. And let's be honest here, it's not like this particular, extremely striking setting actually MEANS anything in the greater flow of the episode. They could have had just about any kind of backdrop for these scenes, and very littl...

Weekly Anime Comic: Magic Knight Rayearth - page 1

I mean, I know Hikaru ACTS a lot younger than the other two, but the dialog in this episode makes it sound like she LOOKS like a grade schooler. Sure, she's SLIGHTLY shorter than the others... in certain shots, but she still has the same generally tall, lanky design of just about every other character. My brain just struggl...

Weekly Digimon Comic: Digimon Tamers - page 28.75

I tried to keep all that vague enough to obscure my own lack of knowledge on the topic, and I am ABSOLUTELY sure I still got some details in that whole spiel wrong. See kids, this is what happened back when franchises had "multiverses" that weren't diagrammed out my committees years in advance. Even setting aside that must ...

Weekly Anime Comic: Magic Knight Rayearth - page 0.5

As over-used as the trope could get, I do really miss the days when characters could and did turn into blobby, big-headed versions of themselves at a moment's notice. Not, like, in some bonus content or spin off or something, but right there in the actual anime. I'm sure it's still out there, but I feel like I don't see it ...

Weekly Digimon Comic: Digimon Tamers - page 28.25

Yeah, just as your latest reminder: even though I still use the dub versions of names where applicable (because those are the names I learned first), I am actually watching the subbed versions of these episodes for comic purposes. And while the dub does include some scattered references to the previous seasons of the show as ...

Weekly Anime Comic: Magic Knight Rayearth - page 0

Look, all I know is that I sat down to watch the first episode of Rayearth, and got hit with inspiration for more comic pages than I got from watching the entire first SEASON of Konosuba. Make of that what you will.

But seriously, both this week AND next week's comics are generic enough jokes that we won't "officially"...

Weekly Digimon Comic: Digimon Tamers - page 28

Preemptive hello to any diehard steampunk fans getting offended over this. I don't even dislike the whole steampunk thing, just how severely overplayed it got for a few years there. This'll be especially ironic in retrospect a few days later, when I finally get around to finishing this month's blog post. (Though you'll onl...

Weekly Anime Comic: Baccano - FINALE

Look, I'm not even saying that I desperately WANT to know the amazing backstory of the fat guy getting robbed of a box of candy bars by Santa Claus and a pumpkin. I'm just saying that it's exactly the sort of gag I would have expected a series like Baccano to pull at some point. I mean, they bring back the immortal...

Weekly Digimon Comic: Digimon Tamers - page 27.75

I mean, I couldn't NOT draw this, right?

Weekly Anime Comic: Baccano - page 16.75

I will never EVER get tired of sniffing out and laughing at odd signs in anime backgrounds. This I vow.

But, believe it or not, this actually NOT the last Baccano page! I've actually been holding one last doodle in reserve for WEEKS now, just waiting for the right moment to pull the trigger on it. So come ba...

Weekly Anime Comic: Baccano - page 16.25

Okay, I'm wading into unfamiliar waters again by trying to get some comics done early and queue them up to go live while I'm away at Otakon. HOPEFULLY you're seeing this when you're supposed to, but any time I do something out of my usual routine, I get all anxious and uncertain.

Anyway, yes, that's a real movie. And ...

Weekly Digimon Comic: Digimon Tamers - page 27.25

Sorry the art on this one is so rough... that is, even rougher than it usually is. I had to bash this comic out REALLY quickly due to Otakon preparations, so that wide shot in particular is a lot more... "impressionistic" than would usually be acceptable.

Also, it felt REEEAAALLY weird to write "Adult" instead of "Cham...

Weekly Digimon Comic: Digimon Tamers - page 27

Basically, what I'm saying here is 1. Midlife Crisis + 2. Short Man Syndrome = 3. Impmon.

...and that's not even the only motorcycle joke I got out of this episode.

Weekly Anime Comic: Baccano - page 16

See, if I take a step back and say how I DON'T say these things, then it's YOUR fault for bringing it up if you disagree! ...though, for the record, if they DID hook up, I'd probably say that Rachel could do way better than Claire/Vino/Felix/whatever. I guess the main point here is that I find her a lot more likable than Cha...

RAYEARTH WINS!

AND WE HAVE A WINNER! A surprising one at that, if I'm honest. I was quietly hoping for Gundam to win, while bracing myself for K-On, so I'm a little blindsided that Rayearth wound up getting the nod. But this is what we're doing next!

Some quick bits of housekeeping: Obviously, there's sti...

Weekly Digimon Comic: Digimon Tamers - page 26.75

I tried to write this in a way that it could could be read as both ironic foreshadowing of later episodes of Tamers, and also as a snarky dig at Frontier... though as a result, I dunno if it actually wound up working as either.

By the way, though, I do like that someone took the time to draw Kazu and K...

Weekly Anime Comic: Baccano - page 15.5

If talking is a free action, what do we do with a character who won't speak?

Conventional Wisdom: Suncoast Pilgrimage - page 2

Hey, man, if the end goal of our epic quest was going to be as underwhelming as it was, my extra stories are just gonna have to be about the drive there and back. I'm not going to tell you the story of T-Pose Jesus, though. Yo...

Weekly Digimon Comic: Digimon Tamers - page 26.25

I really ought to be using this space to throw out some additional topical digs at online culture... but I'm too distracted by my only just now realizing that I drew Rika's hair in the shape of Tax from Far Out There without realizing it. Um... whoops?

Also, I'm gonna declare a winner on 2025-07-19 21:31:03 +0000 UTC View Post

Weekly Anime Comic: Baccano - page 15

Is this a subtle mockery of people who can't read as quickly as I do? Of course not, don't be silly... there's nothing subtle about it at all. (Also, yes; I know that Baccano has a better argument than most for being watched in the dub, what with the whole being set in America thing)

Anyway, this is officially...

Weekly Digimon Comic: Digimon Tamers - page 26

To reiterate what I said elsewhere, sorry for the sudden break in comics. Life is starting to at least SLIGHTLY calm down again, and I should hopefully be able to keep a regular weekly routine going for at least the next couple weeks (Otakon's already looming on the horizon, though, so we'll see...)

Also, I must confes...

Weekly Anime Comic: Baccano - page 14

First off, sorry for the lapse in content recently. I had a nasty bout of Real Life that threw off all my productivity over the past few weeks, and I'm only just now starting to get back into something resembling a regular groove again.

But anyway, I'm sure there's some Graham superfans out there who will take offence t...

Weekly Digimon Comic: Digimon Tamers - page 25.5

I mean, it's not like I haven't already done the VPN jokes several times in Digimon form already. Also, I look forward to completely ignoring any future lectures on how any one of these is incorrect on a technical level.

OH CRAP...

Weekly Anime Comic: Baccano - page 13.75

Watch this comic get some kind of fact checking community notice when it goes out to the wider social network. And this is the TAME version of this comic! When the idea first sprang up in my head, they were talking about stuff I don't even want to HINT at down here for fear of the comment section!

But anyway, just in ...

Weekly Digimon Comic: Digimon Tamers - page 25

Yeah, I don't often accuse Tamers of having missteps beyond the most nitpicky little things, but this is one of the few full-on gripes I have. The version of the Digital World seen in this series is possibly the least engaging out of any Digimon series I've seen (including that disclaimer just in case A...
