Aw, poor Superhero Girl. Can't even go to a party without her Superhero life interrupting. Even though Superhero Girl doesn't seem to mind so much, 'cause this supervillain's a totally cute boy! Squee! Good thing Superhero Girl's a girl, otherwise this joke never would've worked.
The design credit for Mr. Sparkilypants (or whatever you want to call him) goes to my boyfriend. I wanted Superhero Girl to run up against a villain who she was kind of attracted to. But what should he look like? Boyfriend suggested "a hot Korean pop star." Probably the one in Speed Racer. Whasisname? Rain? Yes, very hot. But his hotness could not defeat the awfulness of that Speed Racer movie. Sigh.
Freckles !! (first panel. - yeah, I'm a freckles freak).
ReplyDeleteWho's this guy ? A real supervillain or just an early Halloweener ?...
Love the comic... but... I can't help but notice SHG's new superpower: magically turning her left sleeve from black to white (panels 2 and 4). (sorry)
ReplyDeleteOk so when are you & Tim going to collaborate already? I've been enjoying his webcomic since you pointed to it forever ago, and of course I've been your fan since D101 days. :)
ReplyDeleteI loved Speed Racer! But not as much as I love your comic.
ReplyDeleteAwww
ReplyDeleteBut SHG's particularly cute hair will surely even the field between them!
Don't hate on Speed Racer! It's a super awesome movie! The soundtrack, the colors, the cheezy dialogue, the scene where Racer X punches a guy out the top of his car while flipping upside-down in the air... The whole film is absurdly awesome.
ReplyDeleteLoved this SHG scene btw. Cheers =)
I admit to being amused by Speed Racer, and it had some interesting visuals, but man, it made a lot of bad storytelling choices.
ReplyDeleteClaire: SHG has discovered the magic of slightly curling her hair!
Ah cute Asian pop stars, a girl's only weakness :) Well that and unicorns.
ReplyDeleteLook at those shoulders. Those are totally supervillain shoulders!
