And we’re back! Thank you for your patience. Sorry I’ve been away, but work has been hectic, and with my studio in the basement, sometimes it’s just too cold to draw. But there’s a legend of something called a “Spring” that some say may actually appear and bring warmth and light to our Northern Hemisphere lives. I’ll believe it when I see it.
So, this page began as a sequel to a page I never finished. I was making a “pre-party” page, and it just didn’t work. But I really liked this panel:
I hope you recognize those two. It’s that guy who started the famous barbeque place, “Sweet Baby Rai’s.” Yep, it’s Rai and Cat from one of the best webcomics on the web, the mighty October 20th.
Meanwhile, the party is starting up, and some notable guests have already arrived. You may recognize that shoulder on the left in panel 1 (hint:_____ de Largolino of the _______ Assassins). That dapper fellow on the right is none other than my pathetic attempt at LCpl. Tadeo Sasaki, from the awesome We Are the Wyrecats.
Coming your way next: More guests arrive, leading to a flashback of two of your favorite characters! Plus someone else! You’ll just have to stick around to find out who and what it is!
Look like Viola’s got a nice milkshake, which she probably deserves after being lost for years in Groovy, Kinda world!
Poor Rai. I wouldn’t want to have to wrap up a whole roasted Ox either.
Well, for wrapping an ox you obviously want to go with the Type 304 stainless steel foil — aluminum is out of the question — but I admit the 0.002 gauge stuff everybody has on hand might not be sturdy enough. They’ll have 0.005 gauge in stock at the industrial supply house down the road. Or Larry might have some at the lab.
And this is why I proudly boast that Groovy, Kinda has the best commenters on the Interwebs. Pops, who knew that you were such an expert on foil? You sir, are a man of many talents.
If Larry doesn’t have any in his lab (though he probably does, if only for making hats) then they could probably get some here.
Or, maybe from this handsome fella.
Ehhhhh… In all modesty, I’m no expert on foil. Not even on stainless steel, though I do, for professional reasons, know that Type 304 stainless steel isn’t stainless — it’s what’s used for kitchen sinks, but will be stained black by photo developer chemicals and so you have to use Type 316 for darkroom sinks. I did not learn this the hard way, but it was a near thing.
I think I’m the only commenter (commentator?) on here who doesn’t also have a webcomic.
Well, Chris doesn’t have a webcomic, as far as I know. And that Anonymous guy who keeps logging in probably doesn’t either. Though you never can tell…
Hey, I know that terribly dysfunctional catering crew! I guess Eleanor had to cut some corners when she was planning this whole thing. Yeesh. You get what you pay for. Leaving the food prep to a group notorious for their lousy judgement. 😛
Transportation of the ox is probably going to have to involve some kind of airlift by helicopter that will leave everyone in trouble, and the town covered in grease, am I right?
An air burst of hot grease dispersed by the downdraft of a helicopter rotor? I’m glad I’m just the foil guy.
I would’ve thought they might’ve commandeered a Sampson Enterprises truck, but your suggestions are far more in keeping with the Groovyverse.
And, way more epic.
