Black hearted you say? I thought that was the initiation requirement for all ninjas. To be fair, Dan would fit into the black hearted, cowardly category as well. Although he's not a ninja, but not far off with his current get up. Dan too stands in the shadows and fires high powered scraps of metal (sometimes flaming) at kids half his size...preferably from long range. I personally can't say this is the heroes way. I think the Pumpkin seems to be showing a little more courage then Dan by going toe to toe with this ornery looking folk. I agree rum is definitely more the true fighters drink of choice...or any hard liquor to be honest - whatever reduces the ample feeling of pain during such battles is always a good thing. Throwing a man overboard is a little unproductive - better to tie him to the masthead - set the boat on fire, then sit from the comfort of a row boat, watching the ship skin and explode based on the fact you lined the lower desks with gun powder barrels ....just to make sure. Then you can have a proper send off to your fallen foe, whist drinking their rum from the safety of your new row boat. Come to think of it - the row boat was dum idea. Better yet, tie the gun powder barrel to him - wait till the right moment to throw him overboard. When he's scattered to the sharks, then drink his rum, whist stealing his ship - and continuing your plunder on the high seas. Yeah that's better......Left leg it is.
Kindred pirates ye' say? I say no! That firefrenzy be of a most cowardly nature, a black hearted ninja! They wait for cover o' darkness to attack, then throw little scraps of metal. They refuse to fight like men, with swords, flintlocks and a kick to the nuts. They drink not rum, but sake! T'is not a drink for a fighter!
Should ye' ever see one of these cowardly poltroons, be sure ta' show no mercy, and thow 'im overboard at the first chance.
As for the nailgun, please go for the right leg. It's mostly fake anyway, so I could use it to hang useful items on and stuff.
I'm a big believer that no idea is a bad idea...Bad things - lead to bad ideas, which spark good ideas, which spark a comic about about a DIY vigilante who really doesn't want to be a vigilante but was forced into it by a power hungry cop, with abandonment issues- which then led to creation of nail guns which shoot flaming nails - and new use for cola - which spawns a copy cat kid pumpkin, who's "man card" now had a few more points than his b-ball career. Which all began with a bad idea ;) So post-apoc Landscaper is not a bad idea - only a spark. Maybe Dan should take some night classes on chemical engineering - just to add a little more knowledge to his already warped mind. c-
I am a bad influence on the author... years from now I might look back at this and realize this was a bad thing... but for now... RADIOACTIVE NAILS ARE A GO!
Oh....now that's an idea... Especially if I decide to nuke Karillion in the end....nice work, Raron..now you got me thinking...and that's always a bad thing ;)
... you know I watched Mad max today for the thousandth time and I have to wonder... what would post nuke landscaper be like... (for those of you with no idea what Mad Max is ((and considering my friends this might be a problem) an analog would be a landscaper in Fallout 3)
Ahhh isn't it wonderful that comic can bring two kindred pirates, hell bent on world discovery, domination and destruction back together on the high seas of the interweb. However...it seems the ranks of the ship are in dispute. Do I sense a mutiny afoot? Play nice - or Ye shall walk the plank of fire. - or just shot with a nail gun...also on fire. Either way there will be fire.
Nope, seems to still be holding his own Scott. - Definitely has a little luck on his side. Let's hope the rabbits foot keeps working for the mighty Pumpkin.
Thanks Arretu! much appreciated. We will do our best to continue such works. Great to hear you are liking the comic, and have some connection to the mighty firefrenzy. Welcome to the LS. c-
I'm not quite sure Ty's reached the mighty level of "King" as of yet. Maybe pumpkin janitor - or pumpkin VRC repair person..but not quite King of such pumpkins. As for the nick-name...well, we have so many to choose from. Between all the names Dean & crew - and our fellow readers have come up with, I'm sure we can get one to stick. I apologize - then retract my previous apology for last post. ;)
It's official we have a sidekick :-) Now all they need to do is work out copyright royalties and a cool nickname for Jack the pumpkin king (*humms the nightmare before christmas tune*) ]
And Chris that last line in your post is totally horrible yet excelent...
On a cold October night - one man...err kid...err kid/man stands alone against the forces of evil. Karillion's lone soldier of truth, justice and the pumpkin way. Pumpkin Jack, as he'd be called...the legend of the Karillion lives on in the tales of children who would call his name three times in a mirror.....errrr wait - that's not right. That's awesome that you've been watching the NBC - classic in all ways. I never really intended in the beginning to call him Pumpkin Jack, it just sort of happened. I mean, he's orange - with smoke coming out of his mouth - it just seemed to fit. Plus I love Halloween. Plus, I think Dean said it in a way to demoralize him - but in that act, gave him a pretty cool name, which I will now exploit to the fullest this Halloween in Pin-Up Art and extra goodies. Yes, I feel what will be left of this crew will be much to be desired. Though, I do feel Tyler has expressed his pure unhappiness with being hit in the back of the head with beer bottle, at close range. Oh, and of course, having his ball taken. Whack, Whack indeed. However, I feel his anger is a little misguided. If I recall, it wasn't any of these particular guys of the white eyed crew that did the deed...now was it?
Awesome idea to have an homage to the LS junior - AKA Jack. - always a good thing to immortalize such events in the form of wallpaper - for all to enjoy.
And you all thought a staple gun was a silly thing to bring to a party....tsk*...it's clearly the gift that keeps on giving. c-
it's SKELETON jack, king of the pumpkin in this town of Halloween.
Hehehhe sorry been watching nightmare before Christmas... but let's face it... at this rate all that will be left of the punks will be their bones. Them jones them jones them dry bones.
Have you seen the ghost of john? *whack* all white bones with the flesh all gone? *whack whack* wouldn't it be chilly with no skin on? *whack whack what part of whack do you not understand whack*
...
... yeah. Anyways awesome as usually...
You might wanna consider making a "best of landscaper junior" wallpaper. A colloge of him in his most bad ass moments on some smaller kids wall.
Heh, no I guess he doesn't Karen. Silly, determined, orange, self appointed vigilante. He seems to be hammering though these guys with a full head of steam. So far, the boy appears to be holding his own. However, I'm not quite sure he's earned the level of black outfit white skull at this stage. It's bad enough he's running with the scaper symbol without paying Danny copyright infringement royalties. Although, at this stage - he'd probably make Dan proud with progress thus far. Agreed, last panel, definitely surreal gore....but oh so cool - and slightly brutal. Good times!
Panel 3: Daamn, he just doesn't give a crap about choke holds, does he? o.o I-I think he's won the Bad Ass title...
Last panel: Now that's just some surreal gore. I think the kid should get a black outfit with a white skull on it and--oh wait...
Maybe he just doesn't like being called a Pumpkin. He might have had a bad experience (when he was little..errr...little-er) with pumpkins. Probably around Halloween time. It's haunted him ever since. Just the mere mention of the word makes him crazy...errr..crazier. Or - maybe "nap" was the trigger word. Maybe he just doesn't like naps. Either way...it might just be a good idea from now on, to not mention pumpkins - or - naps in his presence. Personally, I think Tyler's just had enough. Enough of these guys, enough of being scared - just enough. I think he's kind of starting to fall into this vigilante role - which sometime comes with catchy one liners. We all know Dan was prone to throw a few here and there. To be fair, the guy choking Ty started the whole cheeky lines things....Ty just finished it with style. I believe real fight dialogue is just boring. Just a lot of swearing and "kick his ass" and such. How awesome was John McClane in the Die Hard series. When he's fighting a guy, he would tell the guy he's smacking around about how he just killed his brother, and how he squealed when he broke his neck - or - how he's going to cook him and eat'em. Now if I was in a fight, I would want to say things like that as well...I'm gonna cook you, and eat you. Brilliant!
