Announcing: AntiBunny mini

For the first time, in a very long time, AntiBunny has a new side comic sharing space with The Gritty City Stories. I give you AntiBunny mini. Minis are short strip style gag comics. These will be black and white only, and no more than 3 panels. Minis will come between the normal full page updates of the main story, meaning, hopefully, more updates. Minis are canon, but can occur at any point in…

COMIC TEA PARTY- WEEK LONG BOOK CLUB START!

Hello and welcome everyone to Comic Tea Party’s Week Long Book Club~! This week we’ll be focusing on AntiBunny: The Gritty City Stories by Vincent Davis aka Vinnie D.~! (http://AntiBunny.com/)

You are free to read and comment about the comic all week at your own pace, so stop on by whenever it suits your schedule! Remember, though, that while we allow constructive criticism, our focus is to have fun and appreciate the comic. Below you will find four questions to get you started on the discussion. However, a new question will be posted and pinned everyday (between 12:01AM and 6AM PST), so keep checking back for more! You have until March 3rd to tell us all your wonderful thoughts! With that established, let’s get going on the reading and the chatting!

QUESTION 1. What has been your favorite scene in the comic so far? What specifically did you like about it?

QUESTION 2. At the moment, who is your favorite character? What about that character earns them this favor?

QUESTION 3. Who or what do you think “Dark Pooky” is? Why does “Dark Pooky” refer to Pooky as Ptolemy and what does the supposed missing gap of 50 years have to do with it? What do you think “Dark Pooky” has intended for Pooky?

QUESTION 4. What is the mysterious glow that surrounds Penny that only Agent Wesson and Agent Smith/Ed can see? Unrelatedly, do you think Penny will fix the robot she found? How will either of these scenarios affect her and the other characters’ futures?

AntiBunny

Hi everyone. I'm the author of AntiBunny. I'll just be quietly reading here and gathering feedback. I really appreciate this opportunity to hear some in depth thoughts on my work, and as always I invite you to draw your own conclusions.

Delphina

Are there navigation arrows somewhere I'm not seeing?

RebelVampire

theyre on the right side bar

Delphina

Ahhh, thank you

RebelVampire

QUESTION 5. What do you think happened in Pandora’s past that made her so well-known but ultimately got her killed by Agent Wesson? Do you believe Mulligan will get his revenge at the end of the day?

RebelVampire

1) im picking two scenes cause i can and nobody can stop me. the first scene i really liked was the warehouse confrontation with the bomb. i liked pooky both got some answers but also basically went "nope im out yo." the combination worked for me and made it both humorous and narratively satisfying. the other scene i liked was the scene where hannibal is waiting in the hospital and just casually talking to mulligan without realizing who he is. then mulligan reveals himself in the most crass way possible. again, i just like the combination. its funny, but narratively satisfying since i kept wondering when wed get to see penelope's dad ever since he was mentioned. 2) penelope. Idk. theres just something i really like about penelope. She's go this good sense of optimism and faith, but shes not overbearing or crazy. And even if she's not some rebellious sleuth or fighter or anything, the comic shows that her words have the power to change things just as much the fighting and other elements. 3) Well given a scene that was part of nailbat's story, Pooky is pretty obviously involved with enchanted forest. I imagine some boss type figure. And Pooky might be some prized experiment somehow? like the next step in bunny evolution or something like that. but maybe pooky had like the longest incubation period known to all sapient kind. As for what dark pooky intends, more evil science. I mean you don't get to be called dark pooky if you do the good science.

4) I'm not sure I have good theories about the glow. Like, maybe again, another part of dark pooky science somehow. Like a desire mutation that is a signal for the next stage of evolution. As for the robot, yes, i think penny will. and I'm really looking forward to it considering who that robot is. I think it's really going to be an emotional rollercoaster for everyone. 5) well given superheroing is a thing in this world, probably that or something. maybe not superheros but like a step down. like neighborhood watch on steroids. or maybe a group of detectives. i think pandora discovered something she shouldnt have though, which put her at odds with agent wesson. as for mulligan's revenge, nah i highly doubt it. more just because i think someone is going to get to agent wesson long before he does. and narratively speaking, i think mulligan's arc will be more about putting his kids first and revenge second.

RebelVampire

QUESTION 6. Do you believe that Pooky will once again become a successful reporter? What trouble might Pooky’s pursuit of this cause? Alternatively, what good might come of it?

RebelVampire

QUESTION 7. Who do you think Agent Wesson works for? Also, what do you think happened to Agent Wesson after the bridge explosion, and what consequences will that have for the story?

RebelVampire

6) I don't think Pooky is gonna rekindle that journalist career. Mostly because if Pooky lives to see the end of this story I will be very surprised. However, I think Pooky's pursuit will change the world regardless and force humans and rabbits alike to confront ugly truths about themselves and the world theyve created. Cause that seems to be a heavy theme and Pooky has shown to know how to work the media to drive that message home. 7) Enchanted Forest. And Agent Wesson is probably alive and probably plotting some hardcore revenge against Pooky. Agent Wesson will also bide time and wait until we've basically forgotten the character and then blamo, everything is ruined, sad times are had, etc. etc. etc. It will not be a good time

RebelVampire

QUESTION 8. Do you think Penelope will manage to testify against Mr. Huge, or will she inevitably be silenced by the many obstacles in her way? In the meantime, what do you think Auntie Fae is up to? How will this affect Penelope?

RebelVampire

QUESTION 9. Do you think that the characters will be able to change Gritty City and/or human-rabbit relations for the better by the end of the comic? Of the characters, who do you think has the highest chance of doing so and why?

RebelVampire

8) I think Penelope will manage. Shes the determined sort who will probably persevere. Although I also feel that her testimony wont matter and that inevitably the bad guy will win. As for Auntie Fae, I'm not sure besides being racist. Although I actually think she has a bigger agenda then the characters realize quite yet. In the sense that theyll think she just wants to get rid of rabbits when shes up to bigger things. like helping out evil scientists or something. 9) I think they'll change relationships for the better but not by much. Change is a slow, slow process and the more you try to force it, the less it usually works. But that's okay and I think whatll maatter is just changing the hearts of even a few ppl. Like what happened with Nailbat because I found Nailbat's story was really strong because of that aspect. Even though Nailbat was just one person, he changed some people lives and also had his life changed. If I had to pick someone who would actually instigate change, then Penelope. Cause Penelope is a badass with words insofar and really seems to leave an impact on all the people she interacts with.

snuffysam

i haven't been able to get through the archive yet, but right now my favorite scene is when we first see penelope street preaching. i don't know why, but I like the idea of this stalking amy-rose-type turning out to be something completely different

my favorite character so far is juju. gets introduced as a witch, and immediately gets herself trapped in a doll. love her.

RebelVampire

QUESTION 10. What are you most looking forward to in the comic? Also, do you have any final thoughts to share overall?

RebelVampire

10) a lot of stuff. like im really looking forward to the robot being fixed, to pooky exploring the dark pooky stuff more, seeing penelope more, and so forth. theres a lot of really great threads that are building up and id love to see them start paying off and how cause im sure itll be epic! in general, while it took me a bit to get into it, i really enjoyed the comic once i did and the story started to show its hidden depths.

Delphina

I just want to pop in and say that I did make it partially through the archive this week, but probably won't have time to finish, and thought Penelope was a very cute character. I paged through a bit of the later pages too and loved seeing how the art/craftmanship progressed.

Delphina

((I don't know what the policy is on critique in these segments, so I will definitely strike this from the record if it's not appropriate @RebelVampire , but when the story started alternating between the Pooky storyline and the Nailbat storyline every other page is when I started to lose focus and eventually dropped off reading because it was too confusing to keep track of the story. I think these storylines would benefit from not being mixed in the archives. I definitely know the challenge of spending time fixing old stuff versus using that time to move forward, but if you decided to migrate the story to a PHP-based solution in the future instead of static HTML, archive curation would be a factor I'd strongly recommend considering.))

RebelVampire

@Delphina critiques are allowed as long as theyre constructive, respectful, and dont become the predominant topic of the conversation. so in my book this one is fine.

July 27th-August 2nd, 2019 Creator Babble Archive

The archive for the Creator Babble chat that occurred from July 27th, 2019 to August 2nd, 2019.  The chat focused on the following question: 

What has been your greatest accomplishment so far in terms of your comic(s)?  How did you achieve it?

AntiBunny

With both AntiBunny The Gritty City Stories and Nailbat http://antibunny.net/ and http://nailbat.antibunny.net/ I'd say 1st the completion of Book 1. 7 chapters that go from stumbling around and finding myself artistically to fully realizing my characters. I did it over a course of 5 years. How many people can say they wrote a book before they were 30? And completing Nailbat. An entire comic that I set out with an end in mind, and saw through to the bitter end. It took a huge amount out of me emotionally given the very grim foregone conclusion, but having completed Book 1 of GC Stories I knew I could do it again. So all in all I'd say that my biggest accomplishment is having written and illustrated 2 entire books. I'm aiming to finish the 3rd soon, and I'm aiming to use what I learned from the first two to tell a more fluid and tighter story. How I accomplished it? I just stuck to it over the years. Even if I lapsed I kept coming back. Sheer stubborn persistence.

spacerocketbunny

For Ghost Junk Sickness it's definitely being able to finish three volumes in 5 years! We have more than 600 pages online and we were able to do it because both me and my co-author have worked tirelessly to stay consistent and keep a steady workflow. One thing that I'm especially proud of is that we've never missed an update in all these years, we've been very fortunate to been able to achieve that! www.ghostjunksickness.com(edited)

Desnik

My greatest accomplishment on RAWR! Dinosaur Friends was surviving a visit from the former voice actor of Barney the Dinosaur at my table He has the raunchiest sense of humor, too http://rawr.hannahmcgill.com/

LadyLazuli

For Phantomarine, completing the first chapter... in which the majority of panels are crowd shots Why did I do that to myself??? Everything has been so much easier since...

Nutty (Court of Roses)

Ohhhhhhh do I feel you on the Crowd Shot front!! I think what I'm most proud of for Court of Roses so far is that it was the right kind of motivation to help me create the most ambitious illustration in probably my whole life so far? http://courtofroses.thecomicseries.com/comics/84/ Took me two weeks to do, by breaking it into chunks, and I'm happy I made it as a true page of the comic so that I could stick to it and commit to finishing it.(edited)

spacerocketbunny

Anyone who can tackle a bunch of big crowd scenes definitely deserves kudos, those compositions are so tedious to do but so worth it!

quietsnooze

Yeah that is just astounding!

September 7th-September 13th, 2019 Creator Babble Archive

The archive for the Creator Babble chat that occurred from September 7th, 2019 to September 13th, 2019.  The chat focused on the following question:

Describe your comic’s notable side characters.  What do you think they add to the story?

AntiBunny

That really depends on how you define side character. Is it anyone but the main character, or someone who's neither the protagonist, nor a side character? In AntiBunny: the Gritty City Stories http://antibunny.net/ if it's the former, then I'd say Hannibal who never takes center stage, but is a constant support who's always there to back up the main characters. He's the gentle support you can always count on. There's also Mulligan who's also a strong support, though while Hannibal is gentle, Mulligan is forceful. One supports with gentility, the other with strength.(edited)

If it's the latter, then I'd say Runo. He first appeared in Nailbat as a minion of the big bad, http://nailbat.antibunny.net/, but later decided he valued his friendship with a main character over his paycheck. Since then he's appeared in Gritty City Stories backing the heroes. We've even seen a bit of his origins. One part a good person who made bad choices, but also someone who chose to become a better person.

The Q

As someone who's adapting a DnD campaign to comic form, side characters become hugely important to the story and main characters! If nothing else, they're there to balance the mains. I'm so excited to show you all more, when there's more comic to show!!

Attila Polyák

This question is a bit special for Tales of Midgard https://talesofmidgard.com/, as most of the major events and plot points are initiated by not the main cast but by side characters, often without even being on screen at all. The main crew just takes part in the chain of events initiated by the bigger players around. In this sense side characters like Egon, a diplomat, or Alex, the leader of a magic academy, have more impact on initiating the plot than the protagonist. This is simply because a lot of side characters in Tales of Midgard tend to be influential members of high society, while Anne and Erik, the protagonists, are basically commoners.

Desnik

Just invented a character for http://ask-a-warlock.tumblr.com/ who is only seen Dr. Claw style for the first three quarters of the story -- a pair of hands covered in gold and rubies. I needed him to provide conflict and context for why my characters are in Paris at all

snuffysam

For http://sgkdr.thecomicseries.com/comics/ - I suppose I might as well just go down the list. - Mr. Enetoro is meant to be a foil to Mizuki's yearning for action. He's the safe job to contrast Mizuki's adventures, the comfortable family life to contrast the romance Mizuki seeks. He also makes for some fun comic relief. - Zaxaty is... kind of the opposite. She shows that despite Mizuki's desire for romance and willingness to jump headlong into most situations, she completely refuses to take any actual chances with dating for fear of being rejected. Unless Zaxaty literally gets down on one knee with a ring, Mizuki won't believe that Zaxaty could ever possibly love her. - Gynu and Suzigu introduce a recurring side theme of the comic - there's no such thing as an unbeatable fighter, but there is such a thing as an unbeatable team. Gynu is hot-headed and Suzigu is lazy, but together they're more than the sum of their parts. The Ludi twins are two of the most powerful veteran warriors in the comic. And despite what the pair may have been led to believe, Mizuki and Cahe were unable to defeat them. If Mizuki and a teammate ever do defeat the twins, it will be a sign that she truly has found the perfect partner. - Can't go into what Nothing represents without spoiling stuff lol. - Fortunately, I already summarized what themes Electric Zebra represents with his own dialogue: Listen up, you mother-canoodler. You better agree with me right now that love is the only weapon anyone needs, or I will shove this canoodling knife into your canoodling throat, understand? - Coruby Zozi used his status as Zebugu's childhood best friend to build a colony in the desert, where people who were shunned by society can live free. Coruby shows that while caring for yourself is important - it certainly wouldn't hurt if you cared for other people along the way.(edited)

Steph (@grandpaseawitch)

I LIVE for side-characters, my comic is made of them. XD But to genuinely answer the prompt, in http://oldmanandtheseawitch.tumblr.com/ , the main side-characters are the Pub Lads, a gang of older sailors who used to work for Ains when he was captain of a ship, and another who hasn't been introduced yet but is down at the bottom of the character page. The Pub Lads are... not bright. They're good-hearted, and at least one will provide a particular lesson for Ainsley--and Witchy. They're mostly there for antics, but also to help give the town a little more flavor. They're very darling characters for me and I love them a lot. The young merman is a very different type of side-character. His part won't come into play for... a long time. But he is an inextricable part of Witchy's backstory, and his very presence is going to provide a point of connection--and possibly contention--between Witchy and Ainsley. When I say "Witchy is a villain," it'll be the young merman's presence that will really answer the question of, "How?"
