lol, you guys did a major comic strip recycle/flashback. I knew it was similar to something, so I looked back and found episode 65 http://brat-halla.com/2005/03/01/65-career-daze-pt-9/ . It is exactly the same except for a bit of dialogue adjustment and of course, the art. The goblin seems to be the same one, just somewhat older and slightly less hyperactive.
I would have thought that you guys would do something totally new and not a recycle, although honestly I like the art on this particular version better.
@smjjames – Doesn’t it stand to reason that the same people/creatures looking for work during the Career Daze storyline would still be unemployed. Besides, more page views for the advertisers.
Oh, right, Ewok. I thought it was a Hoka at first, that’s what I get for thinking in terms of books, not movies. Love the strip, by the way, all of it.
Oh yeah – callbacks rock. But I have to echo @smjjames a bit.. The older strip was more “Saturday morning cartoon” art style, and as such, captured the essence of the Bugs Bunny-esque rapid-scene change technique. The newer art style, while definitely more “in” for today’s manga-inspired art culture, loses that Saturday-morning artistic style I came to enjoy in the early art.
I still enjoy the stories, and am passing it out to everyone.
Hmm, dad the destroyer-any relation to dad the impaler?
I’m gonna get shot for that comment, I know it…
Great comic, as always!
*shot*

I thought I was geetting another one of those freaky Deju Vu moments.
Phew.
Heh heh. Jokes are always funnier the second time around.
Still, I think the Ewok on the previous one looked more like an Ewok. An emaciated Ewok for sure, but had the right look.
I still think the artwork is better on this one though
Gotta love the irony. Bet Eyeball sues for royalties.

The recycle is excellent, thanks for posting the link to it.
