Seems it’s our One Hundredth Strip (give or take a few) and by tradition, congratulations are due all around… so, Congrats to you, our readers, for stickin’ with the strip this long… and Congrats to Bunz & Katz for takin’ a few knocks and not hittin’ me up for a raise…
That’s all for now, I think I’m gonna go get me a beer…
So how long before you hit Strip Two Hundred?
Dude! No pressure! Gonna give him a stroke or a heart attack or something just thinking about it.
Bob just wants the cookies – I can tell…
Congrates! More fan service! (kidding – thanks for everything!)
Yeah! That glimpse of bellybutton is the limit!
(incidentally, I wonder whether Ruthless Space Invaders even have bellybuttons?
Naval? er Navel… You’ve never noticed her’s before? you do realize, don’t you, that Bunz is, (or was), a Sailor Bunny… Erk, I’m beginning to sound like Surly Bill now!!
Actually, the real question upon my mind, does anyone recognize the audience members? Anyone at all?
Chick! Sailor Chick was what she was supposed to be when she went up against Sailor Bob deep in the bowels of his comic book shop lair and which battle royal was crashed by Sailor Moxie of the LAPDCD. Beginning to detect a recurring theme here Josh….
Barfo Dawg guy had an anchor tattoo.
…and uh, no sorry, not a clue who’s in the audience.
Maybe Laurel and Hardy on the far right?
Spanky and Our Gang? That might be Spanky, Alfalfa and Darla on the left.
Spanky, Alfalfa, Buckwheat and Darla.
Now had you also listed Stymie and Butch as well, you might have won a real Cuban Cigar – imported from um… somewhere we can’t mention… True, I didn’t really expect anyone to guess Butch, but couldn’t think of any other of the “Our Gang” members that might be recognizable from behind…
As for WW, guess you score a half point, for: Laurel Not Hardy (When did Ollie ever wear a flat cap?) But Stymie (Matthew Beard) did wear one of Stan Laurel’s old Bowler Hats – so you only get credit for the Derby…
If you and put him in partial profile where I could see his round rim glasses I might have gotten Froggy. (He was always my favorite.)
Well, that’s an idea… though glasses from a side view probably wouldn’t register as “Round”… Still, if I’d thought of Froggy, he would’ve been worth trying…
I have wondered if Billy Laughlin, aka: “Froggy” was inspired by Smiley Burnette, who did a similar sort of frog voice in so many old westerns?
There’s also Clarence “Frogman” Henry, who postdates those ones…
Who sings like a Frog and he sings like a Girl… and then he wonders why he hasn’t any friends…
He’s a lonely boy, he ain’t got a home.
I tried to find an archived image of the stunningly beautiful Sailor Moxie in a Goggle image search. And I failed at that. However I did find an artist named Moxie, that does Sailor Moon artwork, that our Josh Quagmire might have given a professional nod to. If that is the case, then thank you.
Eh… that would be Negative… I really have about Zilch interest in the Moony characters and have no idea as to who may be producing fan art in the Sailor Moony genre…
That said: Best of Luck to Moxie or anyone else – It’s a big Web and there’s a place for most anything on it…
Grats on 100 strips! Now bring in the 100 strippers!
Could have started out (like the 12 Days of Xmas) with One Stripper Stripping (in a PG sort of Pose) who quickly multiplies in the following panels (reusing the same pose) until they crowd Bunz & Katz out of their own strip!
The melange probably would have been easier and quicker to lay out and draw…
For whatever it’s worth – we’ve uploaded the July Calendar, featuring Bunz and Katz, doing their bit to enhance the Beach scenery, with yet another knock off of that classic CopperTan ad…
And all this time I thought the cottontail was part of the costume…
Well um… The “Tail” (like her Bunny Ears) isn’t actually part of whatever clothing she wears – nor is it part of her…
Um… Gee… After thousands (or maybe millions) of years in a stasis tube in Iapetus, amazing to see that Bunz’s pale skin can still take such a nice tan…
STOP THE PRESSES! The International Brotherhood for Figuring Out Just What the Heck That Tail Thing Is, (The IBFOJWHTTTI) have just discovered another exciting datum! The object, heretofore seen in constant hover over Bunz’s tailbone and henceforth referred to as “The Orb” can now be seen to be partially transparent! When asked of the possible meaning of this stunning revelation our leading scientific researcher had this to say, “I dunno.” Our crack team of research scientists have declared this to be the most important discovery since proof was obtained that The Orb is not actually in contact with Bunz herself. Professor Allen Sandage, considered to be the world’s greatest living observational astronomer had this to say, “Who the hell are you people? How did you get this number? I’m calling the cops!”
Stay tuned for more details as they become available.
For whatever it’s worth, I did a revision of the calendar on late Friday night/early Sat Morning… It’s a bit of an improvement…
Any time you throw Vicky into the bunny mix it’s an improvement…. ok, well it certainly can’t hurt…. us.
Well, I’d tried to fit the Vixen into the composition when initially cobbling together the Calendar layout, but I had her behind the Bunny where she just cluttered up the overall silhouette of the characters… It didn’t occur to me, until after the calendar had been uploaded for some hours, to move the Vixen up the layer stack so that she’s now in front of the Bunny – stretched the towel a bit, so that both can be on it and the composition works better… The Vixen’s sly look helps too… Speaking of “Layer Stacks”, that certainly is one Stacked Vixen!! Or should I be mentioning that in comments for a PG Comix??
Which brings to mind an additional thought (sort of an unintended consequence of combining pix) If Vicky is slyly ogling Bunz’ buns, is Kelly looking at Bunz as well, or is she watching the Vixen watching Bunz?? Can’t say that I really know…
Just a note, for those of you who may be wondering what I’m yammering about, Digital Editing with applications like Photoshop or the GIMP which feature many layers, allow one to keep each character on a separate layer and so easily movable or resizable without leaving holes in the background and the like… Both Kelly & Vicky’s poses in this calendar were previously on earlier and different calendars (so they weren’t designed to fit together) The beach background also was reused – even that worried Star Fish has been voyeur to many a beach bikini disaster… Really only Bunz and Katz here are new for this Calendar…
The mysterious orb of Bunz, that floats free of her body, is partly transparent, and doesn’t really look like one would expect of a bunny tail. Could it serve more than a decorative function?
From what we have seen of Bunz, although she is serving in the front lines now for the space invaders, her original assignment and training might have been as a support function. She is cross trained to fly a space craft, but might have primarily been intended to do desk duty — not field work. Hence when she was called up for duty, she randomly took up what seemed at the moment suitable equipment.
The orb looked like a bunny tail for the AI’s assignment for her to potentially take on Sailor Scouts, and Giant Robots (with robot punch). Unfortunately there wasn’t adequate time to fully train her in all the things that the orb could do. If necessary she would have to learn these things under battlefield conditions, or perhaps by reading the manual on the way to her destination. Likely the manual remains on her scout ship, and not fully read. Bunz only picked up on it being a sort of pocket dimension device, and treated it as merely a sort of purse to put her super ray gun inside of. But inside of, is a very relative sort of thing, with a portable pocket dimension. The deeper that you go into the “purse” the greater the volume. Potentially you could hide a battleship inside of it, with an infinity of unused space remaining.
Oooooooo… The IBFOJOWTTTI likes this. We also have theories involving The Orb being a remote telemetry device which broadcasts everything Bunz is doing (through the “ears” antenna) and her physical state back to the Lapetus mother ship. Another theory from brother WW states that The Orb is projecting the appropriate clothing onto Bunz to fit whatever social situation she finds herself in at any given moment. Then there was some clown who suggested it was merely a bauble pinned on with a safety pin. Sheesh. Some people shouldn’t be allowed on the internet. But whatever the truth might be, only continued close observation will reveal the truth in the fullness of time. Keep a sharp eye on the little space alien.
Indeed, the “orb” is not only a costuming device, but also a “pocket dimension” for stashing Bunz’s raygun, and which at one time also contained a kit of survival gear, including emergency rations, red beads for trading with the natives, chewing gum, and a handy-dandy Fluororesonator thingumbob. Unfortunately, during the millennia of storage aboard the mother ship, the inevitable pilfering attendant to any military establishment (coupled with the fact that replacement gear has been on back-order for about 3.5 MY) means that the pocket now contains nothing but the raygun, a thick volume of incomprehensible regulations governing use of the vanished Fluroresonator, and a half-eaten Zognut and Fleen sandwich, fossilized with age.
It’s a power supply to keep Bunz non organic components functioning.
Congrats!
Actually, by now, I’d celebrate Strip Number One Hundred and One…
