Unfunny Internet Meme Comics #4-2

Okay, so I’m breaking my publishing schedule already. Let’s face it, though, I can I have a series called “Unfunny Internet Meme Comics” and not pass comment on it.
Honestly, I had problems deciding on what to do with the third panel. I’m sure we’ve all heard the official story in regards to why the final episode of School Days was actually pulled by now – they thought it was in bad taste to show after a sixteen year-old girl killed her father with an axe. I’m actually quite surprised that they were worried about a late night show being fairly tenuously inappropriate. Still, it’s not the kind of thing anybody should be making light of.
The important thing was to get a “nice boat” in there anyway. Given that they’d already went and recoloured all of the blood black – hardly a last minute change – they were surely expecting trouble with it airing regardless of any real-world problems. I do have to wonder if it’d air regardless. The whole situation kind of reminds me of that episode of Moe-tan a few weeks ago, which they’d decided was just a little too pedorific to actually air on TV. Given that, by the sounds of things, it was going to be edited for broadcast anyway, I really does strike me as yet another way to try and get people to invest in the home release.
I should probably point out that I’ve seen any of School Days. Maybe I would have if I’d thought they’d animate on of the violent episode. In any case, unfamiliarity with the show (and even what the characters look like) prevented me from writing a more specifically targeted comic. I did kind of think about making an obscure Simpsons reference (at this point, I would have inserted a Youtube link, but it’s only up there in German)…

Hey, Knightboat sounds kind of like Nice Boat, thank you ^^; There’s probably only a one character difference if they were written in Katakana. That said, whilst I’ve not seen School Days, I still highly doubt that any of the characters would actually say “Stabby Stabby”. I guess that’s what drafts are for.
Oh, and for those who haven’t seen that episode of The Simpsons, Knightboat was a Knight Rider parody. Whilst watching it, Bart and Lisa bemoan the fact that’s theres always a handy canal. Or Inlet. Or Fjord.
Actually, posting this comic today has disrupted those I was going to post for the next couple, largely because they were about generating content for a further season. It doesn’t really seem right to post them after posting something like this, so I’ll just stick them below. They are pretty much non-jokes anyway, so it’s probably better this way. Saying that, it might have been amusing to stick up nothing but a picture of a boat the day after the second one, given that it implies excessive violence to come, but for something like Nice Boat I really felt the need to jump on it quickly. Let’s face it, it’s already be worn really, really thin.
Oh well, I guess I’ll just have to move onto some completely different content for the next comic. I’ve got some notes for the next seven or eight anyway, I just need to actually draw them. I suppose I’ll just throw the publishing schedule out of the window and post stuff when I feel like it after today, though ^^;

Nice boat! I wonder when the ending will actually be out. Just wondering how long does it take you to do one of these comics?

It varies greatly depending on if I’m doing anything odd or not, how lazy I’m being with the art, if I’m drawing characters I don’t know the appearance of off the top of my head various other factors ^^;

This reminds of the airplane crash near Halifax. There was a TV series called Halifax – after the last name of the female protagonist – which was airing the same day. My mother noticed this in the TV guide and said something like “These bastards! They already made a series out of it!”
Back in those days, MacGyver was rescheduled regularly whenever some knucklehead decomposed himself with a self-built bomb.
