Guest 5 – Expectations, by Franz
Our fifth guest comic!
My brother surprised me with a second comic. I love how totally in-character everything feels. I’m kinda jealous I didn’t come up with this one myself. Maybe I could ask him to write with me. Seriously.
Go pay a visit to Frank’s DeviantArt, and tell him I want him to draw more.
I really nagged Frank to include Nick, Gaia’s trainer, in the first panel as a continuity nod. The old man was just some throaway joke in the early Gaia comics (He’s mostly Clint Eastwood from Million Dollar Baby wearing the outfit of Rocky Balboa’s trainer, Micky) but I kinda like him now and plan to bring him back later as a semi recurring character…
When I asked him why Nick wasn’t in panel 3, he told me that he simply walked away judging there was nothing to see there.
I’m still not sure about the canonicity of the guest strips, but this one definitely counts.
Hahahaha! This is like two tons of awesome :)
I agree, everybody is in character, I can totally buy it.
I was looking forward for Chloe’s training with Gaia and while nothing near to what I imagined I love this outcome, especially with the Marie-Neige bit :)
“He’s mostly Clint Eastwood from Million Dollar Baby wearing the outfit of Rocky Balboa’s trainer, Micky”
Yes! yes! I knew it :) It was cleary Eastwood but , what with that clothes? Then I remembered the cap and everything fell in place. You are an amazing artist DEZ!
Don’t worry. The “training arc” is actually coming. I don’t know when or how, but it should happen before 2016. ;)
What can I say, I’m a sucker for boxing movies for some reason.
Who here agrees with Marie-Neige to a lesser extent?
I totally do.
You get turned on by girls who are way out of shape fitness-wise?
That’s just a cute aspect of Chloe…
I was mostly talking about the “two girls boxing” setup.
Fair enough but a fetish like that needs more than one punch to get off with. :D
Careful, you could start punching above your weight with girls like Gaia & Marie-Neige around…
Kickboxing.
I bet Marie-Neige is expecting to see Chloe against the ropes :P
You bet she does.
It’s the old trainer! He’s back in another breakout performance!
He’ll do better next time.
ahah awesome :D
maybe Chloe need to do some fusion moves with Frederic before slides into the ring.
I still refuse to acknowledge what will come out of this fusion.
I’m not sure I want to see the result of that fusion either.
Considering how the conversation went last time the Fusion technique was used, I’m not surprised to see it mentioned again… :P
hahahah yeah it was pretty hype xD
i guess nothing happens except a tag team :)
I want the one with Laurrier to be Cannon. Marie-Neige is in this strip, so I approve.
No.
LOL someone needs more physical training. A lot more…
SOON!
*Imitates Mr Burns from the Simpsons* Eeeexcellent…
Well, she seems to spend her free time in her couch gaming and eating hamburgers. Not surprise there.
Haha. Touché.
I’ve been missing out on this “guest strips” business, but I swear next year, you can count me in :D
This feels pretty canon to the series :D
I decided it is.
Only one punch? tsk tsk
If you can even call it a punch.
Also, if you actually going to spar you probably don’t want to wear glasses… Blasphemy, I know :)
Funny you mention this.
There’s a strip about this coming in a few weeks. (okay, more like months, but you know what I mean)
I’m so glad to be a part of Frivolesque. Specially when my strips are considered “canon”!
Oh yeah, they’re totally canon. I told you before, man, I really want you as my co-writer.
Lose a few kilos? Luckily this is a friendly match otherwise she’d lose about ten pounds, all from the neck up.
