I did a Guest Strip for Cartridge Comics, one of my favorite WebComics. Hopefuly, once my WebComic is up, I can join Cartridge Comics in the WebComic Group Interact Comics!

I'm not totally proud of the art in this one, as it was my FIRST time ever using Flash for a comic, so I was a little shoddy with it. Big thanks to Ian, AKA Massassi's "Phoenix" for some assistance with the SINISTAR! lettering.

I also realize not everyone has probably played SINISTAR!, and if you haven't, I'd rather you DIDN'T comment on the comedy. Sinistar rocks.

Questions? Suggestions? Comments? Ideas?

Shouldn't you be targeting your entire audience instead of a fraction of it? It's like going to a comedy club and telling an inside joke.

Well, at first I thought people WOULD know Sinistar, considering the cult-status fanbase websites out there, but once I showed this off to a few online friends, no one really had played it, and I was surprised. By then, the comic had already been submitted, and the author of the site loved it. Whatever.

I'm still wondering why you used Flash for this. But it's pretty good nonetheless (though the pose of the characters looks wooden)

I used flash because the author of CC wanted me to try it, and I figured "Why not?" and gave it a try. I like it somewhat more than AI, actually. I don't know, it's hard to tell, right now. I've been using it for some animations, now, and not so much for comics.

Because flash is freaking awesome. That's why.

Yet extremely limited in technology and abilities in what to use. Granted, Illustrator is a complex program, but I can accomplish a lot more with two hours in illustrator than I could in Flash. Besides, it's not like the two don't interoperate amazingly well.

Very true, I use the two together, now.

isnt sinistar that game where you had to destroy the jump gate to stop the uber bad spaceship ffrom coming through? And your bio ship needed cystals n stuff.

Myeh, that game sucked.

But assuming thats what the joke is, i found it amusing.
Code:
if(getThingFlags(source) & 0x8){
  do her}
elseif(getThingFlags(source) & 0x4){
  do other babe}
else{
  do a dude}
