just curious

Post by Archangel »

I'm wondering what the significance of the second comic "D-day" is. is that McFly? i don't think so, but i have been wrong before. could it have something to do with the "Danktown Decimation" the Muttro refers to? now i'm really curious...

I've been looking at it, and I don't think it's the same thing. D-Day and the Danktown Decimation, I mean. First, the incident in Danktown was the result of "a mysterious blast." Unless there were absolutely no witnesses, and that's a complete guess on the behalf of the authorities, the events in "D-Day" look more like an invasion than a "blast." It's also referenced in the character profiles that "Ralph survived D-Day and lived in the remains of [South Demoine] until he was 17." Since Ralph is 24 now, it suggests that D-Day happened at least 9 years ago, and in South Demoine which I assume is the true name of the "Demon City" Earl Saucony mentions in Comic #36. Since the Danktown Decimation happened the day before what's happening in the comic now, and in the obviously not abandoned Danktown, I think we can assume they're not the same.

I agree that the mysterious character in "D-Day" isn't McFly (he's not green, for one). My opinion is that he's a rabbit. :D His face is too flat to be a fox (like McFly) or a dog (like Eugene), but he's obviously not human (or human-like, ala Ralph). There's what could be an ear flapping in the breeze there, and in the far-away shot the light-colored blob on his rear-side could be the cotton-tail that rabbits are famed for. Now, why a snappily-dressed rabbit would be using a violin (or fiddle, I don't know the difference) to summon hordes of demonic beasties (D[emon]-Day?) to decimate a downtown (more alliteration) is beyond me. :wink:

hmmmmmm wow i guess i do see it. that also explains mrdaveryans recent scetch showing ralph as a child. with the demons outside the window. I also have one more question, and would love your guy's opinions on it, what do you think the deal with the Saucony brothers is? it said in the Muttro (back to that damn newspaper(ps i'm looking forward to Muttro #2)) that Mcfly killed two police officers, considering that the Sauconys were the last two people seen before the chapter "Bad Dog" cut out, i can only assume that the Saucony's were the two police officers killed. however that still leaves the problem that the Sauconys were alive and well when they fought Eugene and Ralph. Confounding....also, i find it interesting that McFly took such a beating. He seems like he would be able to take those two on pretty easily. But we really don't know how strong he is...

Please give me ur opinions on this :-D

I think someone already mentioned this, but, the Saucony brothers have regenerative capabilities. In one comic, it shows Earl being sliced in half, at the belly. So it seems that maybe, just maybe, the brothers were continuously being gutted by McFly, then grew back and kept at him until he was all Fucked up. Or maybe he was injected with that weird shit they tried to get Eugene with.

well, they definitely got him with the green stuff, and i'm sure they did a number on him. In the beginning of "Healthcare" the pumpkin guy refers to mysterious liquids, as well as shattered ribs and a fractured skull. but do the regenerative abilities cover death? because the paper clearly refers to two dead police officers, and makes a big deal out of McFly murdering anyone.

Wow, there is some serious research going on here and I like it. I don't want to confirm or deny too much because I think this speculation is awesome but I will say you guys are close on a lot of points.

I will confirm one thing. The character in D-Day is a rabbit. He sports a somewhat different look now but you may have seen him in a vote incentive, once upon a time:

I think that you're half right, Panda. Earl Saucony does indeed seem to have the power of regeneration, but I don't think that Bubba does.

Bubba's Limit is Heavenly Body, which from what we've seen so far I'd guess makes him nearly invincible. He's been shot, hit by a car, rammed by Ralph Bomb, and had Ralph's Gift explode on his face without any noticeable injury. Earl, on the other hand, has shown that he can be hurt, what with getting cut in half and all. I think that his Limit, Link Leech, allows him to "leech" some of that invincibility off of his brother through that chain that connects them. The pair of them are basically un-killable, because Bubba's a beast and Earl can regenerate as long as Bubba is alive.

I also think that McFly didn't manage to actually kill them; he may have gotten Earl but I doubt that with his shown techniques (illusions, edged weapons, and Foxfire) he could have taken down Bubba. Especially considering that Ralph, whose abilities seem much more focused on direct combat, couldn't. In this case, I think that the three of them fought for a bit, causing the injuries McFly has at the beginning of Healthcare, as well as injecting him with the same junk they put into Eugene. Then they "died," framing him for the "murders." They're either operating under the radar right now, or they put two other policemen in their places, and that's who everyone thinks McFly killed.

That rabbit is awesome. I especially love the top hat; in my opinion all characters, anywhere, can be enhanced by a suitably cool hat. (My favorite is a fedora) What program do you use to "make" the comics? I've used Photoshop and Illustrator before, but never for anything complex.

Judging from their actions in the comic so far, i wouldn't put killing two police officers in order to frame McFly with a bigger rap past the Saucony brothers. Maybe it's one of their things?

Also, i would totally love it if it turned out that the rabbit was the overlord of some kind of demon gang :D
