| "Time Passed" by Akira (2005-10-07) |
Time passed in real and comic worlds are different. For example, last three minutes of the battle can take more than a month to complete. There is also famous "
Garasu no Kamen (The Mask of Glass)" where author took six years to complete volume 42 of manga (Hopefully vol.43 is coming out this or next year?). On the other hand, "
Hikaru no Go" was interesting because time passed in comic and real were same... Anyway, I just felt weird about these time paradoxes and that's how I came up with today's comic strip. Today was the only chance I had (before starting real ExCoKo or MaMi story lines) to write this joke. I really didn't want to miss this great opportunity ^_^; I hope you enjoyed it.
Konstantin has already appeared in the previous parody strip, so technically it's only four days to him. But a parody strips are happening in the parallel world (Otherwise Konstantin and Professor can't meet like that). So what konstantin is saying is true. ExCoKo Konstantin was taking a nap for that long. I was quite amazed I haven't drawn Mina for two years. I think she's bored to death. It's interesting that longer the absence is, this joke becomes funnier. Maybe I should have waited for... 1000 days? ^_^;
Today's strip took 5 hours:
Sketch | 10:00pm - 1:00 am | 3:00 |
Inking | 1:00am - 2:00 am | 1:00 |
Screen | 2:00am - 2:30 am | 0:30 |
Dialog | 2:30am - 3:00 am | 0:30 |
