The B-Movie Comic


	Hah! You fell for the crossover thing, didn't you? Well, apparently Maria and Michelle of Shonen-ai Kudasai (same great comic, new URL: kudasai.stripspace.com) read my little remark in last Thursday's comment, and came up with this amazing piece of fanart, for which they are entitled for the kingsize lovies with fries and and a small shake. I swear I knew nothing of it beforehand, I REALLY had planned on Snuka keeping his pants. So I ended up with a double-sized update, and that's just as well, for today's strip is No.50! Yay, Celebrations. Do I get a cake? (It's No.50, chronologically. Due to my totally chaotic system of numbering, it's internal number is 48b, actually. Never mind, it all makes sense. To someone. Perhaps.) And speaking of groundbreaking events, I finally got fed up with my inconsistent drawing of the hearse. I found a few pics of a real hearse, photographed from different angles, somewhere on the net, and came up with a simplified version for the comic. So in future, there should be a basic level of consistency in that regard- a basic level, I promise nothing more :) . I also found some pics of a typical Japanes hearse, brightly colored and with a wooden, gilded, miniature temple on top of it. But firstly this would have been too time-consuming to draw, and secondly Mopey would have refused to get even near it, so I stuck with the classical black limousine-type hearse. If there is one saving grace to Stephen Sommers' 1999 'Mummy' it's the idea of Imhotep controlling the sands, and using them to attack his opponents. It's a really novel idea, and combined with the possibilities of CGFX, results in a truly startling visual effect. No wonder nearly all of it made the trailer. Oh, and the obligatory: Disclaimer: You cannot use a butterfly to collapse a sandstorm based on chaos theory. It wouldn't be chaotic if the results were that predictable, now would it. But on the other had, chaos theory is a bit like magic, I guess. Scientist use it to make glitches in their theories magically disappear. 'If you don't know the explanation, say it's chaos theory.' And to crown today's celebratory update, a new voting incentive is up with webcomicslist, so please vote for me, if you can stand another Harry Potter joke. (Else use the other two vote buttons, without incentive :)) On Thursday, Rutentuten will take another dip into Imhotep's bag of tricks - yes, there was another CG effect that impressed me.
