Bino's history of development
Bino's history of development
Unless I'm mistaken you, Rick, stated a while back Bino's one or even the oldest of your chars and was the hero of the comics you draw in your early childhood. Not that there's a rule saying one must make such creations the heroes of one's most recent work out of nostalgic or other feelings, but I wonder why you made him an antagonist (or at least someone with mostly negative personality traits).

Re: Bino's history of development
Because that's how comic strip characters tended to go. Bino would be mean-spirited and snarky (he was partly based off of Garfield) but would get away with it because he was "lovable" which means "an animal". The entirety of 'Bino Goes to Paris' was mostly Bino getting his owner angry at him for no reason at all.
Of course since I don't like characters like that when you bring them into a setting that is not centered on them, they tend to look like bad guys in comparison to the characters who actually have good qualities, and so his mean-spiritedness became more prominent.
Maybe I ought to do a retread of an old Bino story sometime so you see how he interacts with his owner.

Re: Bino's history of development
I would love to see more of a background for him, since everyone keeps on going about him being the snobby, evil, heartless, jerk. (Except a lot less severe)
But if we have a background on him, we may find something we can relate toward our little prankster friend.

Re: Bino's history of development
That's interesting, thanks Rick, especially the part about jerk heroes becoming villains if they aren't the focus of the show. I'm seeing that CAD guy in my mind's eye.

I was kind of curious as to how the main character of the kid comic became such a jerk in this one....

As long as the jerk in the cast is a witty jerk, he's alright in my book.

Bino's all right in my book because I can laugh at him--especially since most of his hijinks come back to bite him.Two_Twig wrote:As long as the jerk in the cast is a witty jerk, he's alright in my book.

Re: Bino's history of development
you make my point seem a little off...what I mean is, Tiger seems to not give full respect to his owner (like Garfield). We can tell this without them talking to each other right? That is my point... is Bino the same as Tiger when it comes to talking to his owner or does he give Bill (his owner) a lot more respect?
Don't take the above like a but more like my friend.

And the man's most definitely a jerk for putting a shock collar on Bino

(Officer) Bill is the owner of Fox, and he can break wolves in two.
I must break a bone for Bino: part of what he is is surely due to some heavy mistreatment.

Re: Bino's history of development
While I'll agree with you that the Shock Collar could be seen mistreatment it could all so be seen as a last resort to discipline Bino. For all we know Jake tried everything else to discipline him and get rid of his problem and the Shock Collar was a last resort. There is no evidence (other than the collar) that shows Bino has been mistreated by Jake he might have been but again we have no real evidence.valerio wrote: Bino's owner is a guy named Jake

Re: Bino's history of development
you may ne right.
The fact is, I SO hate that instrument, that I can't forgive its use. It just maddens me to no end.!
EDIT: if you are right, Kitsune, it means that Bino is a deep-core meanie for whom not even such a resort could work. And THAT worries me. A lot.

Re: Bino's history of development
Well we don't know what the problem was that the collar was meant to fix (and unless I misunderstanding you your saying the problem was his meanness) it could have been the Zoning issue he had (though I'm not sure how a shock collar would stop this) or just him talking back to Jake. Now your right it could be his meanness but it was never stated (as far as I could tell) what it was. Even if it is his meanness just because the Shock Collar didn't work doesn't mean that something else couldn't turn Bino around.valerio wrote:you may ne right.

Re: Bino's history of development
Interestingly, a similar thing happened in Dandy and Company; http://www.dandyandcompany.com/
The original design for the main character Dandy that the author made several years before the comic was completely different, and became the comic's main antagonist as "Evil Dandy".
