Description

APRIL VOTING INCENTIVE!  NOTHING INTERESTING!

Seriously, man, there’s nothing interesting to see if you vote.  What, don’t you trust me?  VOTE EVEN WHEN THERE’S NO REAL MOTIVATION FOR YOU TO DO SO!!!

And as for this comic…

Here we are, at the start of another story arc.  This one isn’t likely to run quite as long, but I have a number of funny ideas with this one.  The only problem with this plan is the fact that I’m committing myself to drawing lots of difficult amusement park backgrounds over the next few months.  But I think it’ll be worth it.  I dunno.  I hope it’ll be worth it.  I’m not even sure what ‘it’ is worth, really.

Ten grand could be good also for another purpose, but well... that's Puck's style!

How about education for baby?  That would be smarter.

No more fun can be had in Canada!  (Actually, that's kind of true.)

Funderland?  I personally never heard of such place myself.

It ... doesn't actually exist.  Though Canada's Wonderland does.  It's outside Toronto.

It isn't.  Only Canada's.  Kind of silly, but that's the way it is!

Good!  I am too.  Though I'm a little wary of the prospect of needing to draw the amusement park experience.

Well, I'm hoping that it translates to a wider audience, and not just our southern Ontario brethren.  My (mostly American) readership seemed to get the basics of the joke, if not the nuances.

Specific is general.  The more personal you get, the more people will relate.  I believe this to be true.  I have pretty great memories of visiting 'Funderland,' specifically my first time in Smurf's village, back when they were in vogue.  Then eating a burger in a Flintstone's car as a picnic table.  That was genuinely fun.  That was age 10-13.  At age 18, I drove there on a Friday night with a girlfriend (we took drives on the weekends instead of getting drunk/stoned like normal kids did), and got approached by security who, I assume, thought we were going to try to break in, but we just wanted to see what it looked like in off-season.  By the next time I went, Paramount had taken it over!  Tom Cruise over drive.

I remember all those landmark moments.  This version in the comic, by the way, will still include an off-brand version of Smurf Village.  

It's back to not being owned by Paramount now.  Good times.

I've never seen Phoebe so BRIGHT n EXCITED!
Disney World was great... So how is the Janky Canadian Equivalent? (If you been there)

ElectricGecko In reply to hooksnfangs [2015-04-28 10:33:55 +0000 UTC]

She won't remain bright and excited for long.

The janky Canadian equivalent of Disney World is more like a Six Flags: it's all about the roller coaster.  And it's not Phoebe's thing.  But more on that in coming strips.

I sense a lot of screaming mayhem is about to be unleashed. Was there back in the eighties, but I'm sure a few things must have changed since then.

ElectricGecko In reply to naptu [2015-04-28 10:10:21 +0000 UTC]

I honestly haven't been since the 90's, and most of my definitive memories of the place were formed in the 80's, so you should see some resonance in my depiction.
