Otispq's Osum Oddities, aka: The OOO

[Otispq]

As a Fantabulous birthday treat to myself, I present you all with The OOO. I don't care about trying to get the effects fancy, as long as the funny is there. Old school. *pleads with the heavens that the funny is there!*

Ok, fire away you scurvy dogs!

[Grimlock_13]

:lolol:lolol:lolol:lolol:lolol:lolol:lolol:lolol

I've been waiting for you to get started on these! Glad you decided to go with Beachcomber, SO much awkward comedy gold with him! Thanks for the nod too :D You'd better update often!

[Otispq]

Well I don't know about how often I can update, since I don't have any plans on doing anything long running, so I just gotta think of funny stuff, but I do have the rest of BC's chair dilemma shot, just gotta dialogue it.

Glad you liked it, since I sure love your strips!

[Autobus Prime]

O:

Wacky. :lol

Clearly this is not G1 Beachcomber. Nothing mellow about this guy!

[Cyberwolf1980]

:lolol

Brilliant! A pink highchair! I wish I had one so I could humiliate Megs!

[Otispq]

Clearly this is not G1 Beachcomber. Nothing mellow about this guy!

Nope, not your G1 BC here, but I do have a soft spot for my little beaten up G1 toy of him, and wanted to use him, so I upgraded to this one for convenience sake.

Brilliant! A pink highchair! I wish I had one so I could humiliate Megs!

I only have a son, but my older sister gave me a ton of generic kiddy toys a while back, so I'll be raiding those boxes looking for more funny!

[ShadowDragon]

Oh wow, so much win in just the first strip! :lolol

[IronCrow]

Great stuff for a first strip :lol I look forward to seeing more updates

[NotAnAutobot]

I was hoping you'd make a comic! :D So hilarious!!!

[TCracker]

Dear Sir,

FINALLY!!:thumb:thumb:thumb:thumb

Refreshing jokes, nutheaded Beachcomber & Baby Chair!

NOW, that is what I call really fantabulous funny! :D :D :D :D

I need my next strip fix....now go make me another :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

[Soundblaster1]

:lolol
Awesome.

Speaking of making comics, I should probably get on that... Eventually. :lol

[Ripclaw]

this is funny

and are you really going to buy g13 lunch?

[Shane Anderson]

Hey! 'Bout time you started a comic. :thumb

I got some good laughs out of it. Definately like Beachcomber. :lol :lol :lol The only thing I noticed is that the order of the speech bubbles is a little unclear in some panels

[GladiatorPrime]

:lolol :lolol :lolol

[Otispq]

Hey thanks for the kind words guys. And I know that my dialogue was hard to follow in a few places, still figuring out how to do that. It seems I can't move the boxes around after I move on to the next one, and so looks like I'll have to do some more homework on that.

And amazing how a pink highchair makes your lightbox go from mostly white pictures to pink all over, but they looked good on the camera display...

I got some more stuff coming soon, but I gotta say that I don't plan on updating nearly as often as most of the serial comics are updated. I just wanna have some fun, and it seems as though a lot of you guys are all getting burned out lately.

But here's a shorty for ya:

are you really going to buy g13 lunch?

and just curious ^^^^

:lolol
Crackin' start Otispq. Beachcomber ranting on about how he will command respect whilst sitting in a PINK high-chair had me gwarfing away to myself at my desk. My co-workers are now more convinced than ever that I don't have enough work to do...

Yeah, it does seem like there's a fair bit of burnout going on here, which is a shame. Like you, I just wanna have fun and, though I understand you need to keep momentum going with a "serial" comic like mine, I'm certainly not going to blow a fuse trying to hit a deadline every week.

Maybe we need a sticky that just says:
"It's okay to take a break. Delayed updates will not kill readers.":D

I just saw my sons book, and thought if I were big bad UBB then seeing soft and cuddly Bumblebees would be worse than death. And if he were to wander into my sons room, the sight of seeing how often Slumblebee gets kisses from its 2 yr. old owner really would kill him.
As for Grimlock_13, we live about 3-4 hours away from each other, but when he came to town about a month ago we met up for lunch. G13 is a really cool guy, and I have nothing but good things to say about him, and would sooo buy him lunch! Shoot, he can crash at my house anytime!

Glad you got some laughs at work, as for momentum I enjoy the serials very much, and it doesn't take much to go back a page or two to re-read the last strip and refresh the memory of what's going on. but it is nice when they are updated regularly. I like the shorty's and oneshots for good hard laughs and ease of creation, just find something humorous, snap a pic and add a caption and your done.
I like the idea of the sticky, Shane sure needs one right about now as his Laments thread is about to implode from all the weight being tossed around in there. Give the guy a break already. He said he'd be back, it's not like he just bailed on everybody...you know?

What program are you using for this? If it's anything that has layers what I do is make each text area it's own layer, get all of them in the general place I want them then make sure they are all arranged properly. Then I just go back down to the picture layer, create a new layer and draw all the boxes all at once.

[Autobus Prime]

O3:

UBB vs. childrens lit is :lol. But we all know the truth: Slumblebee would kick UBB's tailgate in. He's indestructible.

Deep Thoughts with Megatron, eh? (It seemed "quotely" so I googled it.) Should be very :lol but by unhappy chance the first association was the D.H. Lawrence story "The Rocking-Horse Winner", and that makes me :cry.

Something with the rocking horse and thinking of needing more money...I wonder if Jack Handey had that story in mind...

Photoshop 6, and it turns out there's a tool called, 'move tool(v)' that, interestingly enough, moves stuff...I'm an idiot! I've only figured out how to move one bit at a time, but its something. How do you make an all white background to put the text into? I've had PS6 for several years, just never used it since I had photodeluxe that I knew how to use for the basic redeye and cropping type stuff...whew lots of curve to learn here that's for sure.

Well You've got your image as the "background" layer and then the text should automatically be separate layers per quote. Just place the text where you want it first, then click on the background layer in the layer window and add a new transparent layer. Then you can just use the rectangle/rounded rectangle/oval tool to draw boxes behind your text.

Hey I just did that after I posted this last one, and used the second pic to try it on, and man that is sooo much better than the makeshift funky way I was trying to do it, Thanks Buddy!! My wife was saying she was having a hard time seeing the punctuation, and now this solves that problem too...Woot!

Next question, how do you make your white text bubble indicators/arrows...?

[ShadowDragon]

Well I use a graphics tablet so I just select the brush tool and draw it freehand, it allows pressure sensitivity so I can make it sort of get thinner as it gets to their mouth by not pressing as hard. Without a tablet just use the line tool in the same layer as the text boxes you can set up a "bezier curve" line by changing the line tool, that will let you at least make it curved if you want.

[Otispq]

Ripclaw, If you "dunno myself" of your location, how do you expect other TFwer's to go to lunch with you :p

G13...you don't have to squat, I've got a guest bedroom :ev:

Thanks for comments guys. Please feel free to give me tips, ShadowDragon's text bubbles tip will improve these a ton, so any other ideas you guys have, let me know cuz when I say I don't know how to use photoshop, I'm really not kidding. But I sure am having fun, I should've taken the plunge long ago...

Edit: SD..ah a tablet huh, what's a good one to get, cuz I saw two at Best Buy the other day, one was like $60 and the other was at least twice as much, that would be something to look into getting with my newly acquired birthday money hehehe.

I was just teasing bro. I've met a few other board members in my area, but only to go on hunting trips, but those are fun too! Are there just not any people in your area? Come on out to Utah and tell you what, I'll buy you lunch too! Open invite...

I got the intuos 3 from BB, the $199 version. The Bamboo & Bamboo fun should be okay for light work, you just lose tilt sensitivity and I believe it doesn't have quite as many levels of pressure sensitivity. Just make sure it's a waacom.

:lol
But you'll make Gary "Optimus Primal/AEC Prime" Chalk cry. :(

Prime + vox-helmet = a pretty fair bobblehead, by the look of things. Is that actually
resting on Leader Prime somehow?


Is this a good time to mention how I make speech bubbles?

Letter in GIMP on blank white background, save as BMP.
Open in Paint, draw borders to fit. Bucket-fill around in useless color (pink is good)

Open unlettered comic panel in Paint. Cut and paste balloons from other image.
Set useless color to background, pick "paste without background" (lower icon), drag balloons around until they're where I like 'em. Add leaders using Paint.

(I prefer opaque bubbles myself. I'm trying to go for a cheesy old comic style.)

[TCracker]

Keep them coming, buddy! The last panel on the latest strip was particularly guffaw inducing material! :lolol:lolol:lolol

Part of my problem is I feel like I'm letting folks down if I don't update on a regular basis. Yet I was starting to run into the dilemia of where to go with certain storylines and the more comics I read I would absorb those ideas. So taking a break to focus on another project has been good for clearing my head. :)

Come on out to Utah and tell you what, I'll buy you lunch too! Open invite...

Lunch on Otispq! Woot! :lol

Good comic you have going here too. :D

[Otispq]

SD: Waacom, Check!

AB: yes, the helmet chin is resting into the groove between Prime's kneecap thingys (protrusions?) and the back of it I sneeked onto the window ledge..hehehe.
Thanks for your bubble tips, Unfortunately I don't use Gimp, but maybe I can figure out how to do it in photoshop.

TC: I laughed at your "guffaw". Sounds like something my dad would say, and that's a compliment cuz I love & respect the man. He'd also say you guys are my cronies, and that's cool too.

DA: I apologize that I haven't read your funnies yet, I'm still slogging through Shanes "uber-thousands long" Comic, I keep telling myself to only read the actual strips, but I can't help myself and I read the comments too. But I'll get to it asap!

Everyone: Lunch on Otispq...otay. You make it to Utah and let me know and it's on. I set my own work hours so it's no problemo to make it happen.

[Otispq]

That's actually me in my avatar, I just found the pic online, but couldn't resist.

Work, it pays the bills, and has potential, so I like it.

Seth Rogan huh, not sure if that's a compliment or a cut! Well that's not my afro, although I can say that an old girlfriend gave me a perm some years back, and when the wind blew it fluffed up like an afro...

Its a compliment. I think Seth is easy on the eyes. Plus he's got that "regular guy who would be fun hanging out with" vibe going. :)

I didn't think you had a afro either. Although there would be nothing wrong if you did. Don't want folks thinking I'm anti-afro. :lol

Hey thanks for reading, you need to do some more of your own, as you gots da funny inside.

I need more OOO man.......I am having withdrawals if Otispq dont update soon!

I've got several strips planned, and two shot, just need time to speechify them and all that...soon. would've posted one today, but a wedding and preparations for Mother's Day tomorow have necessitated putting it off till mondayor tuesday. Maybe I can get a oneshot in...

[Otispq]

I'm not sure this is that funny, but I went and saw Speed Racer, and holy smokes, the visuals are mind blowing, especially since I saw in on an IMAX screen, so it was massive. The racing is unreal, so if you haven't seen it, you may not quite realize why Grimlock is so bummed out. More funnier stuff coming this week, woulds been sooner but my computer crashed Monday night while editing some other stuff cuz I rebooted while an ipod was connected, let's just say that's not a good thing to do...programs wouldn't load, error messages for everything, what a nightmare!

@TCracker: Tact? I found no such thing in this strip. XP

I will never be able to look at movie Bumblebee the same way again. XD

Funny thing about BB's big 'ol boo, er I mean pecks, is that when you lift them up all the way, his chest and stomach area look like a face all by itself

:lol "training wheels"

Glad someone mentioned that, as I thought it was a good one myself. I was tempted to do a different strip altogether just for that joke and the previous setup of Arcee talking about the backpack kibble on Thunderblast.

:lol
Wow, very chaotic neutral and very funny.
I wonder if any of that is going on the minutes...

Well since there isn't any designated recorder, and Soundwave wasn't invited, I don't think anything other than the photo record will persist. But I think it'll suffice. Good comment though, made me & the missus laugh :lol

[Autovolt 127]

:lol Traning Wheels.

[Deviant Anomaly]

Well, I wouldn't call myself a stalker by any means, but since you gave me the idea for this and you conveniently have a website that told me more about you and that the perfect fem-bot for you was actually BB, well it just went from there. Thanks for providing the "ammo" as it were. :thumb

You're welcome. :D

If I didn't want folks to find my site, I wouldn't put the link out there. Actually I thought it was amusing to see the lines show up. Took me a moment to recall where I wrote that though. It was early in the morning. :lol

DA's a big girl, she can take it! (and I don't mean big, check out her sight, she's actually teeny!)

I guess if being 5'6 and 135 lbs makes me teeny. :lol

Maturity-wise though, yes I can take a joke when the intention is lighthearted. :)

Shoot I didn't know you were 5'6, my wife's only 5'4 and about 130, and she's teeny too. You look smaller in the pictures, like my sister-in-law who's about a buck-ten. That's a compliment!!

Well I sold my regular Ldr. Class Prime 'n Megsy to my little brother who lives about an hour north of me, cuz I just don't need two of each. Parting is such sweet sorrow, or something like that.

It's Afrikaans. I used to live in Suid Afrika, but I gotta say, it's mostly gone from my tongue. Not that I was ever fluent. It's a typical type of phrase, the -voetsek- word is usually used stand alone, and the literal translation I used is the milder form...hehehe.

Pastel Megsy? he didn't know anything about the bomb, nor does he realize the revulsion that Prem Meg has for him.

"Brothers gotta hug!"
:lolol
And Megatrons, from the look of it, have to attempt fratracide. :D

Well they were supposed to be shipped off on memorial day, but the weather was bad so my brother didn't show. I gotta say that attempting fratricide is all the rage in 'con society, you keep what you kill you know. (hmm, now there's an idear...)

I think Decepticons show affection with a manly punch to the face. :lol

yep, nothing like a good optical misalignment to let you know your still in good standing with your peers. Of course Starscream tends to aim a bit lower, towards the bearings, if you know what I mean.

That must have been one hell of a "New Toy" session! I actually saw some Animated toys in person a couple of days ago, and I'm starting to vear from my previous "might just get Prowl and Grimlock" stance to "Oh crap, I can see myself buying quite a few of these" stance...

[Falldown]

Wow, what a haul. I cannot express my jealousy that you (or anyone else) has Grimlock. Two Grimlock's is just rubbing salt into the wound :lol.

They do that to you. I originally only planned to get Lockdown and Cybertron-mode Optimus from wave 1, waiting mainly for the Dinobots, and ended up buying pretty much all of it. :sly: It's addictive... pure plastic crack...

[Otispq]

This is a response I made in Coolhands thread, I figured I took the time to make it, it may as well post it here, as I was torn on just redoing it as a one shot for here anyways. So without further ado:

That was a really good update, great dialogue and interactions between prowl and Silverstreak. Although the toy crossbow threw me off a little.

Toy crossbow? Where? All I saw was the Plasma Catapolt. And it rocked, hard. :music :rock



Me Grimlock say: Otispq know his weapons. You certain you not Dinobot? :D

HA! This is rich! I like, I like! Subtle hints all over the strip, otispq....veryyyyyyyyyyy subtle....:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Man, I do look fat, need to shed some pounds..:P

[Otispq]

Glad you liked it, it is full of subtleties isn't it? I haven't forgotten to do a nice take on your BA Megs, but all in do time.

And for those who don't know, the afforementioned subtleties are that every single word in the strip actually took place in the real world earlier in the evening.

ok, I'm a liar. not every word. In fact it was only a couple of phone calls to figure out shipping costs. but he did get my voicemail.

I think "induced motivation" should become an official TFW2005 euphamism for "do it or I'll kick your ass."

As in "Would you like some induced motivation to stop whistling that tune?"

[Deviant Anomaly]

I wonder if induced motivation will work on my lazy coworker? :lol

That is a spectacular Animated haul. The release can not come soon enough so I can pick up the rest that I want.

You know, with a little effort, we could get the 'induced motivation' line worked into everybodies comic if it hasn't been updated in a while. That being said, new stuff later today!

Mama didn't raise no fool. I suspected Adams was no good. He probably hooked up with that two bit skank Arcee the second I turned my back. I upgraded my paint job to remind him exactly what he's going to be missing as I kicked him to the curb.

I would just like to point out, in case some may not know, but the first shot, describing all the issues, all of those are real-life circumstances our friend TCracker has gone through in the last 6-8 months. This strip was made for him. I asked permission so he wouldn't feel I was mocking him in any way, and I hope that it helps him to know that he has friends here at TFW and wish him the best of mental health. (Not that he's been committed or anything...)

And I know that we all have our challenges in life, may you all be blessed to have a cheerful group of people to brighten your days. Except Grimlock_13, as we all know his comic is actually just a window into his own psyche! (poor bast,um bugger, yeah) :gen069:

This strip was made for him. I asked permission so he wouldn't feel I was mocking him in any way, and I hope that it helps him to know that he has friends here at TFW and wish him the best of mental health. (Not that he's been committed or anything...)
Yeah, I suspected that was the reference point, but didn't want to say anything in case I was mistaken. Sometimes the best way to deal with things like that is to have a chuckle at them, if you can.
Hope everything's looking brighter for you soon TCracker. :thumbs2:

[TCracker]

Thanks alot guys for the encouragement, especially to Otispq :D Really, I have recovered much from the mental ordeal that has been plaguing me for the past 6 or 8 months or so. First, getting robbed (for the first time) really made an impact to me as the sense of security is tarnished knowing your sanctum is breached by unknown visitors. That really peeved me off.

The came my wife who has some health issues which got me worried and stayed out of my job for weeks trying to make her feel better. But all that has been worth it and she is now traveling with her mom across Asia. Why not me? Gotta work ya know, pay the bills, buy more TFs..:D :D

Anyway, I do not want to derail much from this awesome thread, but thanks again guys, knowing I have friends here is the best thing I could ever ask.

Rock ON!:rock

By the way, where are the strips, otispq? :D :D

I demand MOAR!

[Otispq]

I got one I made friday night, just been sitting on it til today, I gotta edit one bit then post them. So later today.

MP Prime is a pimp!

[Z.U.D.O.N]

:lolol Nice Animated Primes.. I'm trying to find an Animated Ultra Magnus. Hopefully when I find it I got the cash... :S

[Fez Findie]

They should have specified it within the Animated Prime versions, 'cos its hard to beat MP XD

[Z.U.D.O.N]

Yup XD

[TCracker]

Dannngggggg.....Animated Voyager Prime, also in my wish list :)
MP Prime is the shitz, too bad mine got stolen...:(

[Grimlock_13]

:lol :lol :lol

It really is hard to beat the Energon axe

[ShadowDragon]

:lol :lol :lol

It really is hard to beat the Energon axe

Yeah, and then your han... no.. not going there.

[Otispq]

Yeah, and then your han... no.. not going there.

um, too late?

[Coolhand]

:lolol

Does this mean that the Megatron's are gonna start comparing Morningstars? Co'z MP-05 certainly got 'em all beat on length...:D

[Falldown]

MP Prime is surely the winner. His orange is far superior to Magnus' blue axe.

:lolol

Does this mean that the Megatron's are gonna start comparing Morningstars? Co'z MP-05 certainly got 'em all beat on length...:D

If that's the case I'd... recomend Movie Leader Megs see a doctor...:sly: (Hopefully that's not too bad... but half blanked out just in case...)

[Deviant Anomaly]

Next thing you know, the Animated Primes will be looking into "axe enhancement" products. :lol

And Arcee is such a hussy. ;)

[Otispq]

Well with all this talk of comparisons and such, Movie Swindle/Camshaft truly has the most winning transformation capability. It's even spring-loaded. And don't even think about asking for further explanation!

[Chaos Incarnate]

Yes, but for sheer size, Cybertron Defense Red Alert wins, hands down.

[Falldown]

Yes, but for sheer size, Cybertron Defense Red Alert wins, hands down. Armada Megs/Galvatron would have to come in close in terms of length, though.

[Tomiku]

MP Megs with the add-on kit is the biggest. But discounting the add-on kit (and the City Commander trailer)... If we're talking gun-to-robot size ratio, various Megatrons, CD Red Alert, and TFTM Ironhide's combined cannon win.

And MP Prime may have the biggest axe, but the Ani Primes' are always hard. XD

[Otispq]

Oh the world we live in, were emotions run high and Grimlock_13 provides much needed stress-relieving-funny-making um, stuff..

[Grimlock_13]

Bwahahahahahaha! :lolol :lolol :lolol :lolol

Ha ha!

Actually, I quite like his mold.

[Otispq]

He does have some serious issues, but somehow they add up into one totally cool 'bot, IMO. I'm so tempted to get another one just to keep them in seperate modes on the shelf at the same time. But I'm guessing a repaint will appear sometime in the future to take up the cause.

The wrists I don't mind so much, the hips can be annoying. Hopefully a repaint will fix this. Supposedly it'll come equipped with a chain-saw type weapon, or so the rumour goes. But despite it all, I think Lockdown's great.
Can't help but love him, faults and all.

[Autovolt 127]

MP Prime wins for best weapon. :lol :lol :lol

Uhhhhh........ Do you have fun making TFW2005 members characters in your comic?

[Deviant Anomaly]

Uhhhhh........ Do you have fun making TFW2005 members characters in your comic?

I hope that I'm not interpreting the question incorrectly. Yet for anyone out there who may doubt Otispq's intentions, I for one am not offended by his depiction of me in his comics whatsoever. I know that its meant strictly in good-natured humor. Honestly I'm quite flattered someone finds me that amusing. :lol

[Dremare]

You not misinterpreting it, DA. I'm just insulted by Afro Adams, not Otispq. He's okay. Afro Adams, I'm just going to kill him in his sleep with Bionicle-Dremare, Grand Convoy, and the rest of my stuff.

[Grimlock_13]

Otis has my permission to make fun of my opinions in his strip anytime. :lol

[Spoiler]

Haha, I don't know what he would use to interpret me, considering mine is a custom hahaha!

Funny comics!

[Dremare]

I forgot to add the reason why I'm insulted by Afro Adams:

Most of my life I was always told to be nice and decent, never to insult ladies in physical, mental, moral, or emotional ways, and I try to uphold these as I matured. The only times I've broke down is when some girls kept bothering me on my bus. Afro Adams has insulted these ways. Therefore he must be executed swiftly and quietly.

[Tomiku]

Most of my life I was always told to be nice and decent, never to insult ladies in physical, mental, moral, or emotional ways, and I try to uphold these as I matured.

Good for you. Not enough people with good morals around nowadays.

Oh, so you're free to be an ass to guys, then? :p

...

I love that last one. XD G13 talking like Grimlock was great, too. Hmm... I wonder who I would be portrayed as? Probably Ani Blitzwing. (Jess is the crazy face! XD)

[Dremare]

Yea, basically I do act like an ass to guys I hate, Tomi.

[Otispq]

Hiya everybody! I love all the, um, interesting conversation going on. Since I gotta work late, I'll respond later, just wanted to pop in long enough to say, let the debate rage on, I'll school y'all later...hehehehe.

While I understand and appreciate your viewpoint, sounds like you might be taking this to heart a bit much. Afro Adams is just a fictional character and a harmless one at that. He doesn't represent anyone at the board. He doesn't represent Otispq's opinion toward women either. The majority of guys I've met here have been nothing but respectful, helpful and kind to me. That's why I'm not offended. In fact, I've perpetuated the joke because I find it amusing. Trust me, women see through a lout like that a mile away and quickly knock him down a few pegs. While its nice to have a gentleman come to our defense, most of us are not shrinking violets. :)

Sorry, Otispq. I'm afraid I've created some controversy that you don't deserve. :(

[Chaos Incarnate]

Nah, Otispq deserves all the controversy we can dish out. Scandal too.

I'm no good with scandals, but controversy isn't a problem. :lol

[Dremare]

I know, but my sense of imagination and reality mix together sometimes, causing enormous amounts of bad happening. I'm sorry, DA. I know Afro Adams is fictional, but my imagination tells me a different story.

[Tomiku]

I know, but my sense of imagination and reality mix together sometimes...

I could tell. That's not an insult, I'm just saying I know 'cause I have the same problem. Now, please excuse me while I deal with the sudden personification of my inner bastard trying to create some controversy and/or scandal...

[Cyberwolf1980]

Man, I've been meaning to check these out for a while, but, I've been so lazy. Now, I see what I'm missing. Good stuff! Keep it up, Otispq!

[Otispq]

Uhhhhh........ Do you have fun making TFW2005 members characters in your comic?

Yes. Absolutely. And I've got several people waiting/wanting me to give them a proper sendup. I ask permission generally if I know that anything is going to be too personal or if they think the funny isn't funny to them. Nobody has yet to tell me -no- to including them or posting my strips as I originally created them. I fully intend to make my thread my own. I like feeding off of the comments people leave, and what happens in my daily life. Read my entire thread start to finish and you'll realize just how true that statement is. I enjoy this community and like to include them in my strips.

Thanks for your concern for the ladies. The world needs more good men. I hope you can be an influence on those around you, as most people wouldn't even say anything at all, and you have made yourself clear on the issues you hold dear. I also was taught to respect women, and I hope that my funnies aren't too out of line and portray me in a bad light. But it appears that I have, and even though a lot of conjecture has been infused into this, I truly don't condone misrespect on the ladies, or anyone for that matter. But seeing as these are toys, and in the funnies section, I feel that for the sake of the comedy, allowances can be made, and the real world suspended to some degree if the result is a good laugh. That being said, it is a contradiction on your part to want to hold women in such high esteem, and commit murder upon those that slight them.

I think that you have not read or understood all that has transpired... Afro Adams has not cheated in any way shape or form on (comic) DA. It was hinted at that Arcee tried to get Adam. And (comic) DA made sure that it wouldn't happen, however, Adam is the innocent party in all of this. I enjoyed that (real) DA made a strip of her own that shows her characters wanting to make sure that she was treated appropriately etc. etc.

I was going to do a strip kinda like this: Adam, DA and Arcee. Adam and Arcee telling DA that although Arcee had hit on Adam, he had rejected her flatly. Unfortunately, Jazz saw the first part, only, and because he wants DA for himself, went and told DA, hoping that he could snag her on the rebound.

DA, succombing to Femmebot jealousy, went out and beat the crap out of a totally unsuspecting Arcee, but she did deserve it. So Adam and Arcee are telling this to DA, cuz Adam has been inapropriately labeled a jerk and womanizer, when all he wants is to be DA's boyfriend. (comic) DA, realizing that she got caught up in the subterfuge on Jazz's part, reconciles with Adam, and catches up with Jazz...who ends up walking away in his Final Battle mold.

But that is like two weeks worth of opdating, and too long for me to want to do. (Plus I don't have a Final Battle Jazz mold!)

Crazy as it may seem, if you go back and read all the postings, it is never mentioned that Adam cheeted, cuz he didn't. He may have a reputation, but that is what Jazz used to create the controversy with in the first place.

Bad 'bot Jazz, Bad 'bot! :stick:

I know, but my sense of imagination and reality mix together sometimes, causing enormous amounts of bad happening. I'm sorry, DA. I know Afro Adams is fictional, but my imagination tells me a different story.

Ok, that's what the funnies are for. These are just toys, but we create a certain amount of reality for them with these strips. We want to have our hobby be more than just plastic on the shelf, that's why we create funnies and fanart and fanfic. But do try and remember that in the end, they are just toys. And the characters are all fictional. My comic portrayal of DA is just that, comical. I don't know the real woman. Never met her in the real world, so my portrayal of her is really my own creation, with her name tacked on. She laughed. It was funny enough to get some extra mileage, cool. If she comes out my way, I'd love to meet and get some lunch. Same for you Dremare. Why? cuz we all share a hobby, and I like talking to people who share common interests, and it makes this website more real the more people you know on it in the real world.

So. Unless someone has something that just has to be said openly, please PM me with any additional desires/portrayals of how you think innocent Afro Adam should be further maligned.

And back to the funnies!!

[Otispq]

But more importantly, when do I show up?

Patience is a virtue my friend, as there is already a queue formed up.

I hope that I'm not interpreting the question incorrectly. Yet for anyone out there who may doubt Otispq's intentions, I for one am not offended by his depiction of me in his comics whatsoever. I know that its meant strictly in good-natured humor. Honestly I'm quite flattered someone finds me that amusing. :lol

Now that I've finished reading all your strips, I find you all that much, and more! I picked up a Target exclusive allspark power BB on saturday, and I'm thinking that it will be the permanent DA Bumblebee in OOO-land. Unless you object...

Otis has my permission to make fun of my opinions in his strip anytime. :lol

Anytime? Try all the time!!

Hmm... I wonder who I would be portrayed as? Probably Ani Blitzwing. (Jess is the crazy face! XD)

Since I don't have Blitz yet, your shining moment will have to wait. But that is one funny that should, nay must be made!

[Coolhand]

Ah, I clear off for a few days and miss all the good stuff and controversy...:rolleyes:

Oh, and Grim-13 is right. Lockdown has hips that just don't lie...:D

This is true. It was never proven that Adams cheated. See, there's a good example about the effects of rumors. :lol
