#the adventures of Dr. McNinja

[artbyblastweave]

What's interesting to me about The Adventures of Dr. McNinja is that despite the fact that it was in many ways the poster child for it's specific brand of early-oughts-twenty-tens LOLrandom online humor, the climax and resolution of the comic felt like a repudiation of that humor. The endgame big bad is the embodiment of prioritizing coolness and spectacle to the exclusion of taking anything else at all seriously, and the titular Doctor's character arc ends with his sitcom-strained relationship with his family finally collapsing in a way it can't recover from, leading to him ducking out of the lifestyle and going into hiding to live anonymously as a bog-standard general practitioner.

This is the Buddy for October 8th. Remember Dr. McNinja? I liked his sidekick, Gordito. Today's Buddy's basically wearing a bit of a Gordito costume. There's some cacti in the background, but that's just cause he's at the place he gets his scarves. It's not a desert or nothing.

i am so sorry for bothering you but. i have a few questions. Do you have any tips or books/youtube videos to help people interested in making comics or webcomics? and, also, how big do you make your canvas & is it the same size on your site (to read your comic)?

ayyy not at all 👌(side note sorry to the ppl I don't get to, I read all my asks even if I can't answer all of them and they cheer me up)

I've answered comic-making related stuff in my q&a tag somewhere, if you want to go digging 🤔

here's one of them

but as for books and youtube videos hmm

supereyepatchwolf on youtube has a few vids talking about manga, I especially like the chainsaw man one where he talks about how the author doesn't have the most polished style but the layout/composition/panelling is insane. There's another one he does about gantz where he talks about empty space can be used to make a lonely feeling. Those are more about the specific titles than comic making 😅but they defs inspired me haha

I watch a lot of video essays about movies and shows and they make me wanna go out and tell more stories 😤🫶 (breadsword, ladyknighhtthebrave, hazel... etc)

I haven't read any specific comic-making advice books? I just read a lot of manga/comics and stare at the things I like in them. Off the top of my head, One Piece, Anya's Ghost, and The Adventures Of Dr. Mcninja are all fun.

A more succinct advice book I think is The Animator's Survival Kit by Richard Williams. It's about animation, but comics has always felt kind of like a cousin. You're still making movement and timing look good, but it's in more select snapshots. (Though the advice about not listening to music while you're working is not for me 😂)

Also Griz and Norm have this really cool book of drawing tips that I want to get one day, but I think you can find everything as individual posts online too.

I usually work with 1650x2550px 72ppi for digital stuff, and 300ppi for print stuff. This is coming from a rube in all computer matters though, so take it with a grain of salt. It should be the same size on my site unless posting it somehow altered it w/o me knowing 😅

for the ask game thingie!!

mechaking - 18 n 20

chronokatana - 14 n 19 :3

grins. THANK YOUUUU

mechaking

18- how do they celebrate their first anniversary

i like to think they go on a sort of world tour rampage! like they try to mess up as many national capital cities as they can

20- what song reminds you of them?

hell above by pierce the veil 😁

chronokatana

14- who leaves sweet notes in lunchboxes and on mirrors?

i think doc would leave general reminders around the house since memory can be fallible!!!! chuck likes the little notes, they remind him of doc

19- pirates

i think doc would be an undercover traitor on the crew and chuck would be a secret stowaway! doc incites the mutiny, both of them find the treasure, and both get cursed ❤️

seeing serious published authors get mad at people for thinking the sentence “did the thing and then the helicopter did another thing” isn’t funny & is in fact bad writing is like. lmao.

the publishing world is in shambles
