Arc #40: The Preeminent Adventures of Spot

Post by Sleet »

If I didn't actually think Spot comics were pretty awesome, I'd think this was just because they're easier to draw. *giggles*

But I'm not complaining! I'm excited to see where this goes. If only I had super-vision.

You'd also need spinning, don't forget spinning!

Bah. you beat me to it.

You know Rick, one of the convenient excuses for enjoying the Spot series is that Peanut is the author, but also the more easily excused (and humorous) ways of breaking the tradition your comic may have.

PS: Stripe slapping Spot with that glare. Luls.

I loved how you wrote the muscle practice in the 5th panel.

And I'm glad to see that Spot realizes that punching isn't thew only way to solve his problems.

Excellent comic. I can't wait to see just what Spot saw.

I wonder what kind of evil is that to make Spot (Superdog) worry. But I hope he will be able to defeat it. Evil can't triumph over Spot! (Superdog).

How could you even think about that, Spot!? ... EVERYTHING can be solved by punching! Absolutely E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G! I can't believe you are even questioning that!

Stripe in panel 5 is awesome! Just awesome! Great work, Peanut.

Also, I love panel 3. And this seems like it'll be interesting, despite the fact that I dislike Spot comics in comparison to the normal ones.

If there's anything fighting games taught me is that there's kickers and punchers.

If Spot needed to solve this by kicking... he would either need a clone or partner to do it.

WE ARE OUT OF KETCHUP

Also I like how Stripe's ridiculous over the top angry eyebrows are actually a pretty accurate representation of a child's drawings. It's a good thing that the Spot comics aren't drawn realistically badly,(they have to be comprehensible, after all) but it's little things like that that remind you.

So if he can see into the future and knows what's going to happen, why is he brooding dramatically? I mean wouldn't he also see how to defeat the coming evil, or is this a commentary on how Tarot works?

We don't know how his powers work- well, except that spinning was involved. Perhaps he only can catch vague glimpses and feelings, a la Desmond Hume?
(Well really I think mostly because Spot Comics tend to be a purposeful Plot-Hole-alooza)

Peanut's a up and coming comic artist and writer, so give him some slack. That said, most of the Spot comics have a more coherent storyline then most fanfic, furry or otherwise out there.

Spot comics are the best break possible from the regular comic. I love them both about the same, really. I couldn't decide between them.

It's not that I don't like them, it's just that if I ask myself which I'd rather read, I'd say the storyline. I almost think of spot comics as extended One-offs, you know? I like one-offs too but after a week of them i like to get back to the storyline

Since when is Brood an onomatopoeia? :lol:

I'm sorry, but I just noticed that. Is that one of Spot's powers? :lol:

I never fail to miss a lot of things in the comics. That's why I love them.

Perhaps you could get Spot to spin you an anti-trap forcefield? Then again, TvTropes will enhance your life. But I digress.

Any ideas as to where this is going?

Well I find it amusing more than anything simply because Tarot does have a tendency to know all the outcomes but pretend like she doesn't or something similar so events play out without any weird time stuff happening. I agree, the Spot comics are quite clever and Peanut is doing his level best; I just find the idea that Spot (Superdog) is using "spinning eye vision" to see the future, is upset by what he sees, yet is also in a position to prevent it from happening somewhat familiar.

Maybe he couldn't see that far into the future because all the spinning involved made him nauseous.
