This is so appropriate since we were just learning about WWII and the atomic bomb in Socials class the other day.

I did something like that in elementary, the stuff we printed had instructions to make the "conventional explosive."

This turned out great!
Can't wait to see the follow up and punchline to this great setup.
The illustrations are great, really true to the characters and the lines are very clean. Great expressions too, really add to everything and tie it all together.
The framing and positioning is good and reflects their conversation.
The colored speech bubbles with the border are easy to read and follow.
Good job! *hugs*

So I guess they're doing this for a science project; where's John Lithgow when you need him?

Lemons? An ignition source?
That wouldn't happen to be a Portal reference would it?

It would! You're not part of the control group. You get the real reference.
A+

what can go wrong? Nuclear fall out, a lemon shortage, eerie green glowing at night, zombies...
Dare I ask what Scootaloo has in mind? Her grin scares me but like a train wreck I can't look away...

I really like how you executed this. It was this particular comic in the series why I didnt carry on with the manehatten project myself (that, and the whole Tub Time thing)
I have all my comics laid out in my head before I draw them. This one actually scared me, be cause it was always going to be a transition into the funnier comics that followed... but I couldn't figure out how to make this one funny.
I think the bomb drawing does it, that, and scoots expression at the end. Bravo sir.

Thanks, mate.
I definitely had the idea in my head. I did have to flip everyone around to get panel 4 to work right. I love all the people on the panel comments freaking out.
I love the bomb drawing. It really does set it up. People know they're serious about this.
I can't wait to get started on the next one. I have the pictures in my head.

OMC, I totally derped and forgot the original comic reference in the description! Fixed.
Yeah, Tory's totally Derpy what with him being so accident prone.
And, yes, it is a nuke.

That just leave the question, whos going to be the rest?
So these three would probably be Adam, James and Grant.

mandydax In reply to TheTimeLordMarshal [2012-02-18 05:33:14 +0000 UTC]
Well, Pinkie builds a giant robot version of herself. Grant's the robot guy. Therefore Pinkie = Grant.
