Transcript

Intro: An establishing shot of the "bee cave" -- a giant skep style hive (ie the traditional woven round one) in the middle of a vast suburban sprawl of houses, with skyscrapers in the background.

Page 1: (1) One morning in the bee cave (complete with stalactites and stalagmites), the big stick figure signifying my boss (Dave) peers into an empty coffee mug and says "hmmm we need more coffee." Other stick figures are slumped over sluggishly.
   The next series of frames show a stick figure (2) crossing a road and river that look like the old arcade game "Frogger"; (3) swinging across a chasm by a rope, with an alligator snapping at legs; (4) in "Crazy Eddie's Coffee" (where we really get our coffee), crazy Eddie is saying "First you must answer these riddles three;" (5) parody of the famous Indiana Jones running away from a giant boulder scene, but with cup of coffee in hand; (6) Handing Dave the coffee saying "we need a better way to get a decent cup of coffee" -- through the doorway a starbucks can be seen, implying we COULD have just gone there but it's not decent coffee.

Page 2: Stick figure announces "we have managed to make coffee!" behind him the gears and steam from a giant machine can be seen. Dave comes out of a doorway marked "Sekrit Room." Someone remarks on Dave's spelling.

Page 3: The giant machine. I looked at oil refineries and St Basil's Cathedral for inspiration, hence it has a lot of spire like objects protruding upward. Also includes a weathervane and a toaster. A cauldron over a fire has a pipe from it into the machine that looks kind of like a straw, and there is also a little umbrella sticking out. In the lower right corner a pipe comes out of the machine into a coil that's supposed to be a centrifuge, and then into a series of glass flasks and beakers and finally a coffee mug.

Page 4: Dave pulls a lever, there is a giant cloud and ZORT noise, the weathervane can be seen spinning, and with a POP [livejournal.com profile] zia_narratora appears in my place, in the style of her own comics

Page 5: Similarly I find myself transported suddenly to a scene from her comics. I am surrounded by anthropomorphic food. I run screaming.
   The food catches up to me and says "You cook with us!" I am seen thinking back to a time I had to call [livejournal.com profile] furzicle to ask what it means to "simmer" something -- I then run away screaming again.

Page 6: I run into a bunch of anthropomorphic bottles and put my hands up. Then I realize it's liquor, with a devilish grin. I pour all of them into a cocktail glass ... and suddenly it becomes one giant magical anthropomorphic cocktail ... with a rather psychotic looking grin.

Page 7: I explain my story to the magic cocktail, and it exclaims "TL;DR, LOL!!!"
   I ask it if it can use its magic powers to help me and it says "I'll go see!!" leaving me saying "Wait, what?!" Figures a magic cocktail would act like a drunkass.

I'm not sure what excites me the most about this entry - your Frogger reference, or the apparent cold fusion in the coffee-making-creation-of-Doom.

:D

I remember looking up how to simmer something.

That magic cocktail needs to stay forever.

I love how positively psychotic looking it turned out. :D


And yes in college once I was going to make some beans, I pull out the can and the instructions are one line: "place in sauce pan, simmer." So I had to call me mum and ask "Mum.. um.... what's a sauce pan and what does it mean to simmer??" :D

Basically, if you see a cocktail, and it says it is magic, you should drink it. It may be fibbing, but it is still a cocktail.

Excellent! Awesome!

Frogger panel ftw! Fabulous work!

Edited to add: coming back to say that I didn't want it thought that the Pitfall-esque frame after frogger was unappreciated. But I was already laughing at Frogger so thinking of Pitfall Harry immediately after was just bonus! :)

2/ its to let it bubble yes?

3/ my recollection from looking it up was that it shares the etymology with christ, which means anointed one. Which they do with oil. :D

You outdid yourself with this one! I love the guest drawings from your partner. And you really do need to thank her for your new icon!

From: [identity profile] emo-snal.livejournal.com
Thanks! :D Yeah we drew things for eachother and used magic (ie photoshop) to post them in eachother's comics. My "magic cocktail" icon (and well the cocktail itself I guess) really embodies the collaboration we did, because I made it, using her images. Both the cocktail glass and face were hers but I stuck them together and added the pink. So it's the very embodiment of collaboration (:

Great comics. You had me with the Frogger panel and the coffee machine. Wonderful stuff going on in there. *me wonders off wondering what happened to that floppy with Frogger on it to load on the Palm*

LOL :D

Frogger was so successful because it was clearly an analogy for real life. :D
