Battle Royale (With Cheese)

[Paul.Power]

We join you with our story already in progress.

In one small corner of the battlefield, Paul.Power is pinned down by heavy gunfire. Can he use his renowned brain to think a way out of this one?

Meanwhile...

[philby4000]

...Phillby messes up by completely missing thhat palul ended his post with a Meanwhile.:p

Meanwhile...

After taking a few moments calculating the trajectory Paul lights his last bottle of Inflammable Johnson's Baby Lotion, and lets it fly.

[Paul.Power]

BTW, everyone feel free to add your own sigworms whenever you like.

[Star Worms]

I was doing an entry of my own until I realised how utterly crap my art is, and gave up as usual :p

[Pigbuster]

I'd do one, but for some reason I am horrible at drawing eyes right now.

[SomePerson]

On the opposing team, SomePerson sees a mysterious object flying toward him, so he diverts his fire from Paul in an attempt to shoot it out of the sky with his one good eye.

(Black and white because I drew it in Windows Journal, and then copied and pasted it into Paint. I don't quite have a graphics program capable of filling in with Journal's anti-aliased vector graphics, and Journal itself has no fill tool. I got far filling it in with the pen tool, but it was too much vector information for my machine to take and it crashed...:p)

[thomasp]

The mysterious object was...

a quarter pounder with cheese!

(Sorry, I can't draw :D)

[Zero72]

"My quarter pounder with cheese ploy worked perfectly," thinks Zero, taking advantage of this momentary distraction to skim a grenade towards SomePerson from the cover of a big orange block completely seperate from Paul's.

Edit: Hmm, I forgot about Paul's baby lotion. It's probably still airborne, I guess.

[MtlAngelus]

SomePerson managed to evade the Grenade.
Meanwhile, Paul wonders if he threw too hard.

[thomasp]

Yep... far too hard.

[BetongÅsna]

Zero readies his next trick. Meanwhile, he doesn't think to look up.

[SupSuper]

In an underground bunker...

RAR!

I love that my TV and appearance change entirely the moment Paul draws them,

Your chair vanishes too.

It's the power of drawing badly!

[Slick]

I started to do 'something'. But then in just turned into this.


Yeah, I think I might have ADD or som- LOOK! A KITTY!

[Zero72]

Zero successfully diverts the falling satellite into SupSuper's secret bunker with his fantastic TEETH ATTACK

Not unless he draws it, he doesn't.

[MtlAngelus]

He was probably narrating a past event. Probably referring to Paul's pic. :p

[Zero72]

Or Slick's.

Or both.

[Star Worms]

Thought I'd kick off the fighting :p

Star Worms lunges for Paul.Power!

We apologise for the lack of eyebrows, this is due to the cuts in the thing department.

[Vader]

Meanwhile, at the crash site...

[Pigbuster]

Meanwhile, during the past (Which means that it isn't really "meanwhile")...

http://img106.imageshack.us/img106/4426/25528232fm4.png

[Zero72]

Zero, suddenly flexing an ingenuity muscle normally reserved for such activities as Half-Life and Nethack, opts to remove a piece of the satellite's solar panel and add it to his naturally bottomless inventory. Something like this could become handy in a number of ways.

[MtlAngelus]

But what is this on the back...?!
"HELP! I got stuck in an alternate dimension!" :(

[Vader]

I think I can be of assistance to both of you... in return for something I need.

(I just realised it looks like Zeor is kissing MtlAngelus... awesome!)

And now the question is, where do I end up?

[Squirminator2k]

Rawful at "TELPROT"

[Pigbuster]

Hooray for the first picture of the entire battlefield.

MAJESTIC.

I like turtles.

Excellent.

The irony is, I've beaten Elec Man now.

I just hope to heck a Boomerang will substitute for the Rolling Cutter...

[Pigbuster]

I like turtles.
Took me a little while to figure out what was going on there.

[SomePerson]

Still black and white from lack of a proper drawing program...

THREAD RAPE!

Sorry to double post; I know it's not my turn, but I couldn't resist. A lot of effort went into this, so I couldn't not post it. ;)

Vader your comic was amazing. Well worth the thread rape.

[Pigbuster]

For some reason I'm not very good at drawing worms properly with a tablet right now.

So I decided to draw them all goofy-like.

[Paul.Power]

Don't leave the station without me: I have a plan.

EDIT: Okay, go:

30733

My ability to crappily draw Megaman characters is not just limited to Zero.

[Paul.Power]

can't say that I get that joke :-/

Hanlon's Razor: "Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity".

Which is of course what Vader et al have done with my knocking-down-the-International-Space-Station thingy.

By observing that they shouldn't have done that, I'm employing Hanlon's razor.

Which, seen as I'm in a Mega Man game, reifys it as a weapon.

Hanlon's Razor, being a razor, will have similar properties to the Rolling Cutter (Cut Man's weapon, by the way) once reified. As a result, it can take down the evil spiky crawly things.

As the Rolling Cutter is also Elec Man's weakness (and a severe one at that), he has every right to be saying "oh, bugger".

I'll concede it's a rather complex joke.


EDIT: Panel chronology, to make it clear:

Panel 1: The present.
Panel 2: Flashback to somewhere between my TELPROT and Angelus opening that door.
Panel 3: Also flashback
Panel 4: The present again.

[Melon]

Bloody hell Paul, talk about complicated. Couldn't you have just used some slapstick?

I would continue this story, but as I've never played MegaMan, I don't think I can at the moment.

[Paul.Power]

I would continue this story, but as I've never played MegaMan, I don't think I can at the moment.The only time I do slapstick is when I can't think of anything subtler.

You don't have to continue from here. Go back and see what Vader, Zeor, SP, Angelus and yourself are up to.

[worMatty]

Less subtle, more brief is what I'd recommend. And never explain your jokes.

I've still got to design myself a sig-worm and put old Voldo to rest. I like your idea of an electronics expert, Paul, but I don't want to place too much emphasis on my work.

[Slick]

OD -- Where no joke is safe.


"why did the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side!"

"I don't get it."

"It's funny because it shows the excursion of, one chicken crossing the road. Perhaps it a busy road and the chicken had to cross it because there was something on the other side. Like a farmer. Other reasons why chickens may actually come to terms and cross a road isn't very well known. So one can presume any reason, and motive for the chicken to cross over to the other side of the road. This can lead one to think about different scenarios a chicken might have to want or motivate a chicken, out of all creatures, to cross a road. So really its an open ended joke that can lead to HOURS upon HOURS of amusement for a single person alone, or that of a whole family. NOW THAT I'VE EXPLAINED EVERY DETAIL POSSIBLE ABOUT THE JOKE, AND REVEALED WHY IT SHOULD BE FUNNY. LAUGH."

"ok"

I'm not picking on you Paul. I've seen this A LOT by other people too.
:p

[Paul.Power]

I should probably make a law or something

(How funny you find your own joke) x (How funny other people will find your joke) = constant

Oddly enough, that's significantly funnier than the actual joke. :p

The original is sarcastic, innit? "To get to the other side. WTF did you think, n00b?!"

I couldn't actually find a picture of Star Worms anywhere, so I assume he wears some sort of jacket type thing.

I couldn't actually find a picture of Star Worms anywhere, so I assume he wears some sort of jacket type thing.it's actually a hooded cloak along the lines of Obi Wan in the originals.
