Is this great, or what? The mighty Michael Yakutis whipped up this baby as a thank you for helping with the 1st Ever Webcomic Underdog’s Anthology. Thank you Michael!
I had the great privilege of manning the Underdogs table at Emerald City Comic Con this weekend with Michael and Marisa, alpha dogs of the Webcomic Underdogs. They were a lot of fun and a wonderful couple of people. And I got to meet some fellow Underdogs.
We also did a panel on the Importance of Community in Webcomics, which may be on YouTube sometime, if the rumors are correct.
Now, you’ve probably noticed that there’s no comic today. Well, between ECCC and doing a super secret project that you’ll find out about tomorrow, I didn’t have time to do one. However, Thursday’s update should be on time.
To help tide you over, here’s a couple of comics from… from a long time ago. This is Nelson’s first meeting with Eleanor.
I think this was the ninth and tenth comic strips that I ever did. That’s my excuse, and I’m sticking with it.
Charlie’s Angels indeed!
Loved the way he’s done Stephanie as a Redhead, since I always think of her as a Blonde.
Stephanie’s a redhead? Hmmm, had not pictured her that way but it might explain some things. Or it would, if she wasn’t a robot….er, fembot…er, gyndroid…umm, whatever.
I have to agree on Stephanie being a Redhead. It matches her personality.
Edison looks good too.
I like to think of her as a machinal (machine), or, better still, a machinament: n A machine; contrivance. Obs.
Thank you, giant 1945 Webster’s dictionary.
And this is the problem with black and white. Edison’s hair is white; Stephanie is blonde, and Anya should be the redhead. It’s just that, except for Stephanie, I’ve never shown them in color.
I like how Michael made her a redhead. Since he’s so much better with color than I’ll ever be, I just sit back and enjoy his work. He’s great. You’ll see, when he premiers his new mermaid horror comic soon.
I like Stephanie with red hair even if I knew she was blonde. I knew Edison had white hair since it’s said so explicitly by the character, but I had no idea Anya was a redhead. Still, this is a really neat picture! They look like they’re enjoying the heck out of this power pose.
Agreed. Edison looks like the wise-cracking leader, with Stephanie the happy fun one, and Anya is “the brains” of the group.
I shouldn’t point this out, ’cause he does it so often, but I just noticed that Michael misspelled “Thanks.”
I’m always giving him a hard time about that.
An artist should always leave a little blemish in his art to emphasize what’s right. Really nicely done, by the way. I see this Michael kid going places.
Oh, he’s talented all right, and a really nice guy to boot.
But he’d be nothing without the awesomeness that is Marisa, I tell you.
It is a really cute pose, except that Stephanie’s finger-gun actually WORKS!
And, depending on which incarnation of “Charlie’s Angels” this is depicting, is the hair color more a reflection of the show, than your comic? Also, I’ve found over the years, that a lady’s hair color can be….mutable.
Especially for Stephanie. As a machinament, she can change her hair color (and style) anytime she wants.
Wow! This is genius! Great work by Michael! Well, the Angels are more 70’s but still this strip is in line with the 80’s Bad Hair day we are doing today! Kudos, Charlie, your Angels are great!
Didn’t he do a marvelous job? I just love Michael’s stuff-both his art and his stories.
And I want to see if the girls are doing anything special for April Fool’s Day!
“Mace?”
The big question is, did she mean the tear-gas kind, or the spiky-ball-on-a-stick kind?
