Description DA titles are too short for the full title of this thing, Manly Guys Doing Manly Things. Put this thang together for the Escapist's Webcomic contest. Didn't win, obviously, but I'm pleased to have come away with an honourable mention!

Anyway, Commander Badass makes his triumphant debut. If I can get a webpage together, I'll try to make this a weekly deal.

Don't feel bad for the guy Kratos is waling on, he's gonna make a mint on the settlement.

Ahahha, I just designed him by cramming together every manly thing I could think of off the top of my head, stubble, side burns, missing teeth, cigars, leather jacket, blue jeans, cleft chin, goggles, broken nose, body hair, then like... weeks later I was looking at Jack and thinking like "HUH.... SO I GUESS OTHER PEOPLE FIGURED THAT WAS A GOOD WAY TO PUT A CHARACTER TOGETHER TOO..."

Oddly enough, Jack of Madworld reminds me of Hellboy, since he's in black and white and has a metal arm, the googles kinda look like horns! XD

I really like these pages!

Only one thing that drives me nuts, and you're not the only person to do it, so it might just be me...

"Yanno" is a name.

"Y'know" is the contraction of "you know".

Coelasquid In reply to Inkthinker [2010-03-13 01:34:01 +0000 UTC]

I frequently write things out phonetically the way I imagine them being pronounced to show accents or speaking mannerisms or what have you. "Y'know" and "Yanno" have different vocal inclinations in my head.

Inkthinker In reply to Coelasquid [2010-03-13 03:01:42 +0000 UTC]

I guess it would sound more Northern that way... down here in the Dirty Dirty South, it's phonetically more of a "yuNO" sound.

But yeah, if I put my Stereotypical Canadian hat on (it has ear flaps!), I can see it. "Oh, ey, yah, yanno."

This and the other three Manly Guys strips are absolute gems. It was splendid to see your comic appear in the Honourable Mentions section; to be honest, I'm still somewhat bemused that it didn't win outright (and examining the forums, I see I'm far from being alone in my bemusement). The artwork's brilliant, the gags are *really* funny and the whole premise of the thing is splendidly original and different, which makes me wonder quite what the judges were thinking when they awarded the prize to what is, essentially, Penny Arcade But With A Girl. No accounting for taste, is there?

Coelasquid In reply to MatthewSmith [2010-03-14 18:06:56 +0000 UTC]

Ahahah, that's actually like the third or fourth time I've heard that phrase regarding taste used this week I'm really fine with it, now I'm free to make all the obscure references I want without worrying about catering to the lowest common denominator... That may or may not be a good thing, but I've always been about telling the jokes I want to tell and not trying to water them down to reach a broader audience.

Just try to tell him you won't buy his products, go, I dare you.

...Not sure what's scarier though. Kratos working at Best Buy or the fact that there's a serious chance of me actually doing this to a customer...
Poindexter's going to buy what I fucking tell him too!

Eh, the fact that Kratos hasn't already ripped his head off with his bare hands yet is already an improvement.

That aside, great comic!
