Tale of the Cave

Tragically Avoidable

*whistle*

G-g-ghost!

Sat, 11 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0600

Yes, his text is supposed to be like that.

Higher Power Source

Tue, 07 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0600

God is 128-bit.

Bad Good Advice

Mon, 06 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0600

Graveyards Are Creepy

Fri, 03 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0600

Heh.

Have a Heart

Thu, 02 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0600

Ironically, I don't think he even needs it.

War!

Wed, 01 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0600

Yeah, this turned insane quickly. I just want to get him out of the cemetary...

Odd Mushroom

Tue, 30 Sep 2008 00:00:00 -0600

Oooh, is he just gonna take that?!

Stabby and Slashy

Mon, 29 Sep 2008 00:00:00 -0600

Their other brother, Pokey, is off causing trouble in other lands.

The Silence is Deafening

Wed, 21 May 2008 00:00:00 -0600

Serves Him Right

Tue, 20 May 2008 00:00:00 -0600

Ironically, that's the only target he's ever hit

Ineffectual

Mon, 19 May 2008 00:00:00 -0600

I know, I know. In cutscenes, you don't miss. I'm sorry.

Chapter 4: Eggs In Your Face

Tue, 13 May 2008 00:00:00 -0600

I think I'm going to do title pages, for no real reason.

Grade-A Freakout

Mon, 12 May 2008 00:00:00 -0600

I just wish I thought of that myself.

What Really Happened

Thu, 08 May 2008 00:00:00 -0600

And... back to our regularly scheduled storyline!

150th Comic Spectacular!

Wed, 07 May 2008 00:00:00 -0600

If you don't get it, the enemy's is called the "Behemoth".

If you still don't get it, you really need to play some Final Fantasy games.

Second-Fiddle

Tue, 06 May 2008 00:00:00 -0600

No, I didn't make that name up. I can only guess that his last name is "Fawlty".

So Sad

Mon, 05 May 2008 00:00:00 -0600

*sniff*

Evil Plans

Mon, 28 Apr 2008 00:00:00 -0600

I've no comment.

The Great Paradox

Fri, 25 Apr 2008 00:00:00 -0600

I'm pretty sure this has come up in other works, as well. I'm looking at you, Robert Jordan's Corpse! (although, I'm sure this has come up elsewhere as well)

Big Plans

Thu, 24 Apr 2008 00:00:00 -0600

I got the close-up of the Doctor here, but I don't know where it came from originally. I've seen it elsewhere, before...

The Doctor, MD

Wed, 23 Apr 2008 00:00:00 -0600

Yes, he's a Medical Doctor. Even in the game. I find that amusing on several different levels.

I Hate To Say It, But...

Tue, 22 Apr 2008 00:00:00 -0600

The astute amongst you may notice that the Doctor's text is a darker shade of green than the last time he spoke. The rest of you will notice this now.

Originally, it was the same colour as Toroko's text. Unfortunately, I neglected to consider when they were both talking at the same time. So, I changed the Doctor's text.

Huge Success (filler)

Mon, 21 Apr 2008 00:00:00 -0600

This was originally going to be #141, which went up last Thursday (for historical reference, it's now the following Monday). I don't like making excuses, but I was thwarted from making this comic earlier because:

* My new job has had me working odd hours, which has been rather exhausting.
* A heat wave combined with a lack of Air Conditioning has been combining to cause my PC to crash a lot when using Photoshop.
* Interestingly, this same heat wave has not prevented me from playing the Orange Box, which is the reason I am making this comic in the first place. Curious.

Anyway, portals would be awesome in Cave Story.

A Lie (Filler)

Zombie Apocalypse Redux

Wed, 16 Apr 2008 00:00:00 -0600

I had fun making the second panel.

Hypothetically Speaking...

Tue, 15 Apr 2008 00:00:00 -0600

Lying solves all problems.

Not Helping

Mon, 14 Apr 2008 00:00:00 -0600

If you don't get it, read the first panel again.

Letter to the Editor

Fri, 11 Apr 2008 00:00:00 -0600

I just wanted to see Bat hit a part of the background that is, for all intents and purposes, just painted on. Like in Looney Toons

Status Quote

Thu, 10 Apr 2008 00:00:00 -0600

The mushroom-star-hammer-whistle combination giveth, and the mushroom-star-hammer-whistle combination taketh away.

Super Smashed Balrog

Wed, 09 Apr 2008 00:00:00 -0600

And the winner is... Quote!

Quote Lives!

Tue, 08 Apr 2008 00:00:00 -0600

Quote's livin' large!

Quote Dies

Mon, 07 Apr 2008 00:00:00 -0600

See, this comic is really going to focus on the Adventures of Balrog! Yay!

Something New

Sat, 05 Apr 2008 00:00:00 -0600

This is the closest thing he has to a real attack at this point.

Uncomplicated

Fri, 04 Apr 2008 00:00:00 -0600

Well, really.

Side note, if I offended you... I don't care.

A Bit Underwhelming

Thu, 03 Apr 2008 00:00:00 -0600

Yes, he really just does that in the game.

Slight Regression

Tue, 01 Apr 2008 00:00:00 -0600

No matter the format of comic, some things will never change.

Dead Mike Day (Filler)

Mon, 31 Mar 2008 00:00:00 -0600

Well, there's a reason I do sprite comics...

Anyway, this was caused by my having to work multiple shifts at work in (almost) a row, causing me to not have time to prepare a comic (also, I found my old tablet (whose raison d'etre is a mystery, since I could never draw)). So, yeah. Scribble.

Pointless Banter

Fri, 28 Mar 2008 00:00:00 -0600

I'm sure I stole that joke from somewhere, but I can't remember where. Ah well.

Deus Ex Randoma

Thu, 27 Mar 2008 00:00:00 -0600

I admit, this part is not quite as well planned out as I hoped. But, I promise that I am going somewhere with this.

Doctor Appointment

Wed, 26 Mar 2008 00:00:00 -0600

'Red' is Quote, of course.

He Doth Protest Too Little

Tue, 25 Mar 2008 00:00:00 -0600

Like this wasn't a totally obvious joke.

He Needs LifeAlert

Mon, 24 Mar 2008 00:00:00 -0600

"I've fallen and I can't get up!"

Name Game

Fri, 21 Mar 2008 00:00:00 -0600

This is the comic that was originally going to be for yesterday, but I've edited it to make room for the extra comic.

Innocent Appearance

Thu, 20 Mar 2008 00:00:00 -0600

All this while Bat goes on his own little adventures!

Note: This comic was a last-minute addition, resulting in this comic, and particularly the next one, being weird. I apologize, but the alternative was to leave a plot hole...

Zombie Apocalypse

Wed, 19 Mar 2008 00:00:00 -0600

Ironically, Bat is very safe from zombies.

A Fixer-Upper

Tue, 18 Mar 2008 00:00:00 -0600

Maybe they could flip it, and make a huge profit!

Zing!

Mon, 17 Mar 2008 00:00:00 -0600

And, Balrog gets one off on Misery! But, will it last?

Isn't It Ironic

Fri, 14 Mar 2008 00:00:00 -0600

No, I don't know if it really is ironic or not.

Ambiguity

Thu, 13 Mar 2008 00:00:00 -0600

I have been waiting for a long time to do this joke.

Also, another comic physics law: If a spell could be interpreted in more than one way, the spell's effects will be those which are more humorous.

Miserable Attendance Record

Wed, 12 Mar 2008 00:00:00 -0600

She is unique in being the only person in the game to have what could be used as "reclining" sprites.

Bad Shot

Tue, 11 Mar 2008 00:00:00 -0600

I would make that shot fine, myself.

Really, Really Bad

Mon, 10 Mar 2008 00:00:00 -0600

I dedicate this to one of the regular forumers

Shows What He Knows

Fri, 07 Mar 2008 00:00:00 -0600

Yeah, this joke just threw itself at me.

Dragon/Fly

Thu, 06 Mar 2008 00:00:00 -0600

According to the Cikipedia page on teleporters, the energy used to transport matter is either fatal to house flies, or causes hideous growth and mutation. Research is being conducted in this field.

Oh, Right

Wed, 05 Mar 2008 00:00:00 -0600

THAT's what happens.

No Reason To Worry

Tue, 04 Mar 2008 00:00:00 -0600

Uh oh, we all know what happens when a fly gets into the teleporter!

Unsourced Statements

Mon, 03 Mar 2008 00:00:00 -0600

In spite of this comic, I happen to like Wikipedia.

Incidentally, "Cikipedia" is pronounced "sicky", not "kicky".

Irritating

Fri, 29 Feb 2008 00:00:00 -0600

It's a shame IRC doesn't have status icons, like MSN (so people can ignore them more blatantly)

Getting Hungry

Thu, 28 Feb 2008 00:00:00 -0600

This is a common problem on IRC. MSN too, sometimes.

Not Quite The Sims

Wed, 27 Feb 2008 00:00:00 -0600

Go For The Gold

Tue, 26 Feb 2008 00:00:00 -0600

You'll see here a recurring theme in the comic: Bat is stupid.

Regal Nomenclature

Mon, 25 Feb 2008 00:00:00 -0600

I am having fun writing this dialogue.

Misleading Questions

Fri, 22 Feb 2008 00:00:00 -0600

All while poor Quote struggles to move.

Head in the Sand

Thu, 21 Feb 2008 00:00:00 -0600

You don't want to know what he said.

Total Eclipse of the Brain

Wed, 20 Feb 2008 00:00:00 -0600

Hmm, the Mimiga's Almanac didn't mention anything about a total eclipse of the sun...

The Only Choice

Tue, 19 Feb 2008 00:00:00 -0600

That... was easy.

Eye Witness

Mon, 18 Feb 2008 00:00:00 -0600

Yes, I'm poking fun at the fat guy, and I don't care.

Anyone Can Do It

Fri, 15 Feb 2008 00:00:00 -0600

Not quite the same Toroko as the game, it seems...

It's A Long Way Down

Wed, 13 Feb 2008 00:00:00 -0600

Doubtlessly, listening to Bat is a good idea.

Reassertions

Mon, 11 Feb 2008 00:00:00 -0600

This is my explanation as to why there is no ladder in-game.

Group Hug

Fri, 08 Feb 2008 00:00:00 -0600

The more things change, the more they stay the same

He Who Hesitates...

Wed, 06 Feb 2008 00:00:00 -0600

...is something-something. I think.

Ignoring the Bright Side

Mon, 04 Feb 2008 00:00:00 -0600

Wouldn't the whole world be happier if everyone shut up?

Red Glow is Bad

Fri, 01 Feb 2008 00:00:00 -0600

It's a fact.

Very Bad

Wed, 30 Jan 2008 00:00:00 -0600

Oh, this is rather unexpected.

Forceful Entry

Mon, 28 Jan 2008 00:00:00 -0600

Uh oh, plot is being revealed!

Best Intentions

Fri, 25 Jan 2008 00:00:00 -0600

I am not stalling. I am merely utilizing an action scene. That's all.

RTFM

Wed, 23 Jan 2008 00:00:00 -0600

I like this style of comic, where multiple panels blend together. It's not cheating.

Vote Evil

Mon, 21 Jan 2008 00:00:00 -0600

Topical!

There are no plot holes

Wed, 16 Jan 2008 00:00:00 -0600

Ha! In spite of the previous comic's note, I fooled you all! It was actually part of my master plan!

<_<
