Today’s Comic: “A special kind of problem”

- By on October 22nd, 2008

This one was fun mostly just on a visual level for me. And as much as I like the occasional Mario comic, as you may well know, today it was mostly about putting the poor little plumber on top of a huge koopa. And so it goes.

    I think we all have days where they seem that big. ;) Clever one Scott.

    Oh my god, how much mushroom will he have to eat to get rid of that one O_O

    By the way, some say that clouds are in the sky and so they would not be in front of the landscape but you know… It’s just a saying ;p

    What if the background extends high enough into the sky could the clouds not be in front of the land scape then? Like the effect you get with mountains? Just a thought.

    I pictured further frames showing him jumping up and down and then the koopa turns to look up at him. Mario then beats a hasty retreat into the sunset or down a drainpipe.

    @OsK: You forget that Mario gets to jump on most of the clouds in the game. They are on his plane for that reason. :)

    Reminds me of a quote from Stephen King’s Dark Tower series

    “See the tortoise of enormous girth.
    On his shell, he holds the Earth”

    Osk says, “Oh my god, how much mushroom will he have to eat to get rid of that one O_O”

    I think eating the mushrooms caused it.

    “Mario? What does this blue mushroom do?”

    “I don’t know, Luigi. Let’s find out!”

    @lamabanana, that quote sounds like the premise for a series of humoristic novels… :) The world on the back of a ginormous turtle. Add a few elephants just for kicks… and make the world as flat as a pancake. And you have comedy gold! :)

    Hmmm…..that does sound like a great idea. Just watch out for dropbears.
