View Full Version : Comic Shenanigans Season Two Megathread

Hello, Forum goers, new and old!
For those of you who weren't part of Superskarmory forums pre-merge, my name is Xerodragon12, and I draw comics. More particularly, I draw comics about the people who run the forums. I've currently done three different incarnations of a four-panel comic series chronicling the events and lives of the forums-Chatbox Shenanigans, College Shenanigans, and the original Comic Shenanigans. With the exception of the latter, these comics can be found in the "Comic Shenanigans" thread in the archives. The original Comic Shenanigans can be found here (http://pokecheats.net/forum/showthread.php?22220-Xero-s-Comic-Gallery&p=475359&viewfull=1#post475359), in my comic gallery. (When Comic Shenanigans Season 2 finishes, it will also be added to the gallery.)
This new season will last for eight comics, and will be updated bi-monthly, like the previous season. However, due to the previous season's lackluster reception, I was very much reluctant to bring this back, even post-merger. Depending on the response to this season, I may or may not prepare a third season, so if you guys want to see more high jinks and shenanigans in the four-panel format, let me know by "liking" the comic posts, or by leaving a comment! Or, if you think I should stick to engineering, you can leave those comments, too.
This post will serve as the central hub to the comics, and will have a table of contents down below.

What better way to start of Season 2 than with a rehash of the first comic of Season 1? This time, though, there are some pretty major differences. For one, Comic!Anthony's irises are now visible like the other character's instead of the old beady black pupils that I drew him with back in season 1. (This one was actually a mistake on my end, and will continue throughout the season.) Eyan is now replaced with the amazing Garth, and Will is shown very briefly in panel 3! I decided to use this comic to flesh out the characters a bit more-C!Anthony is pretty devoted to engineering (No wonder he's a bachelor), C!Zach and C!Garth are devoted to working on the forums, C!Marissa is devoted to baking (and apparently setting the kitchen on fire), and C!Nick is devoted to his animu waifus. Remember, just as in last season, the portrayals of the staff members in Comic shenanigans are exaggerations of who we really are, and should not be taken as serious or realistic portrayals.
Comments and Criticism are always appreciated!

Unfortunately, no. Comic Shenanigans was written and designed to be the Spiritual successor to Chatbox Shenanigans, since, unlike its predecessor, I don't have to wait for something to happen in the Chatbox in order to update. Thank you for your understanding!

This comic was actually directly based on a Minecraft animation by the very talented Slamacow productions (this one (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGiSgPP-8mc), to be specific), where the protagonist and a witch get into a dance off through various genres of music. Here, I used DDR as a way to spark this little “dance rivalry”. Here are all the dance styles in panel two from top to bottom, left to right: DDR/J-pop idol, the Robot, breakdancing, Irish step-dancing, Dixieland styled ‘50s thing, and of course, Gangnam Style. Originally, I wanted to throw in Nick doing the moonwalk, but that came out so badly, I changed it to something else.

This is what would happen if this was IRL:
*opens door*
*sees them dancing*
*stares*
*closes door and walks away like nothing happened*

Based on a true story…kind of? This actually happened in the staff chat on Skype, before we abandoned it for the podcast chat. The dialogue is actually mostly unchanged from the Skype chat, but I added a few extra scenes to help the narrative flow better. I would like to thank Garth, Marissa, Cheese, and Michael for essentially doing my job for me! Also, there is a second part to this, so stay tuned! (And yes, I did do two "what are you doing" jokes in a row. Deal with it)

"And not enough support elsewhere, am I right?"
This is the second (and final) part of our short little arc here about moral support. Shortly after this, I enter the chat, where Cheese promptly tries to recruit me to the cheerleading squad, but I (naturally) decline. Now the question is: Is Cheese a guy dressed up as a girl, or is Cheese just an unnaturally flat girl? The world may never know!
(Also, if you guys REALLY want a Pokecheats forum swimsuit calendar, go bug marissachu because I sure am most definitely not going to do it.)

I'm torn on what kind of sarcastic pun to make in order to get my swimsuit pictures out - it's between something about hot tubs, Rin, or free food, so I won't make any of them.
I just need to see Zachgoose in a bikini then my life will be complete.

DeviantArt Link (http://drgn12.deviantart.com/art/Comic-Shenanigans-S2-005-Magical-Girls-569461428)
This is actually a callback to a prolonged joke from Season one, that revolved around Nick wanting to become a Magical Girl (Season One comics 004 and 009 (http://pokecheats.net/forum/showthread.php?22220-Xero-s-Comic-Gallery&p=475359&viewfull=1#post475359)). Of course, Season one ended on the cliffhanger where I agreed to make devices (Re: wands) that allowed the other guys to transform into magical girls, and here, we see the fruits of my labor! Back in season one, Eyan was one of the guys roped into the conversation, but since Eyan is no longer part of our community, I’ve decided to retcon in someone who looks kind of similar-Garth! Poor Garth doesn’t know what he was forced into! It actually doesn’t help that I drew this particular comic after I issued that art challenge (link here (http://pokecheats.net/forum/showthread.php?22183-CHALLENGE-Create-Your-Own-Magical-Girl!))…
Anyways, Happy Halloween!

DeviantArt Link (http://drgn12.deviantart.com/art/Comic-Shenanigans-S2-006-New-Pet-572231441)
This comic actually came from Marissa’s comment on my blog, regarding Comic Shenanigans Season One comic 008, where she mentions that Will’s old username was actually “Raichu”. As such I decided to play with that idea and actually write in a “pet-play” scenario, hence Mike’s and my reactions in the last panel. If you don’t know what “pet-play” is, don’t worry about it. Also, don’t look it up on the internet. In other news, I bet you're surprised that this one doesn't have a crossdressing joke in it. Well, to keep it brief, jokes revolving around guys wearing women's clothing get old really quickly. I'm sure I might make another one, but not in a LONG while...

I've already did 12 Days of Christmas two years ago... Besides, Pokecheats hasn't been around for very long, so there's not much to build 12 days off of without rehashing terms from the old one. It might be years before Pokecheats accumulates enough inside jokes and memes to build a 2.0 of 12 days, so don't count on it.

DeviantArt Link (http://drgn12.deviantart.com/art/Comic-Shenanigans-S2-007-Enthusuiasm-for-Snow-575242905)
It’s interesting how our perception of even the simplest of things change as we get older. Of course, I still sit inside and watch the snow fall, but when you’re up at 7:45 in the morning trying to get to class, and the grounds crew hasn’t cleared the sidewalk, you’re in for a bad time. Also, I send my condolences to those whose parents woke them up at 2 in the morning to clear out snow from the drive way and sidewalk before the snow drifts get too big to deal with. (Is it just me? It’s probably just me)
Also, the week before this comic was supposed to go up, Illinois got hit with the first blizzard of the season. It was so brutal, it delayed my flight back home by about six+ hours. Just a bit of irony to lighten up a frustrating experience.

DeviantArt Link (http://drgn12.deviantart.com/art/Comic-Shenanigans-S2-008-Michael-Saves-Christmas-577859308)
If you haven’t caught on, Michael saves Christmas isn’t exactly the plot of the Christmas Special this year. (If you just joined us this year, you might be a little confused.) In fact, I haven’t drawn a Christmas Special this year (You can see the alternative HERE (http://pokecheats.net/forum/showthread.php?22470-A-Special-Present-from-Xerodragon12)). This comic was actually based on a tweet Michael sent out last Christmas, so I decided to kind of spin that into its own little thing. As you can also tell by the title, this is the Season Finale of Comic Shenanigans S2. I had a bit more fun coming up with the scenarios for this season, and overall, I think plenty of people liked it. I'm still not sure if I'll do a Season 3 yet, much less when I'm going to start working/uploading it. If you guys really want to see a Season 3 of Comic Shenanigans, please like this post, or repeatedly spam my Private Messages that you want to see Season 3 (Please don't actually do this, or else I will hate you for the rest of my life). The more likes I get, the sooner I'll get started, and the sooner you'll get it! Feel free to also PM me potential ideas for comics, since that will also save me a lot of time and effort!
Thanks for reading!
