Remake: King Hippo's back and ready for action -- only now with hair, eyebrows, and bigger shorts. Oh, and he doesn't go by King 'Hippo' anymore -- such callousness isn't new-millennium savvy. Aiming for politically evasive over insensitively accurate, his new title is, 'King Hipster'. Ha Ha Ha!

Comic: Little Mac fights so dirty -- makes one wonder what lies behind such motivation. Anywho, here's a much more accurate portrayal of how Little Mac REALLY bested the reigning Hippo Island champ.

TOPIC:

-Mike Tyson's Punch Out

We all should know about this classic 8-bit NES game from back in the day. One of the funnest, hardest games back then. At least in my opinion.

The goal of this battle is to either

redesign one of the fighters from this game, and illustrate a small comic strip of a fight taking place

or

Create your own fighter for the game, and illustrate a small comic strip of a fight taking place

The Deadline for this is one week from today, November 13th, Tuesday by midnight

Now I hope you guys know what a comic strip is. I guess examples would be Peanuts, Garfield, Calvin and Hobbes.

here's some reference and inspiration:

i am in tears laughing about that garfield strip. i hate that comic to no end.

Oh my GOOOOOD ahahhaha. Beautiful.

haha thats great.

I wonder if jim davis actually did it because s*h*i*t's not allowed in the papers...or if it was in his book or something

DRAM · **Posted:** Wed Nov 07, 2007 3:59 am

of couse he didn't do those. i bet he didn't even draw any of the actual comics that paroddy came from - as far as i understand, jim davis is one of the more "enterprising" comic strip creators, employing others to meticulously learn his art style and produce garfield comics.

also, garfield is the worst comic strip going.

themonkmob · **Posted:** Wed Nov 07, 2007 4:05 am

eh i dont agree. i like how garfield is sutble in its humor. i used to like get fuzzy a lot more...now its not as funny.

DRAM · **Posted:** Wed Nov 14, 2007 10:01 pm

the chances of me getting anything finsihed for this by tonight are pretty much nil. how about you, savvy?

savvy · **Posted:** Thu Nov 15, 2007 12:57 am

I JUUUUST finished. Apparently I'm in a different time zone -- it's midnight here and 9ish on the board.

D'oh. Hahaha.

What are you thinking, want to rain-check for tomorrow?

DRAM · **Posted:** Thu Nov 15, 2007 1:11 am

if you'd be gracious enough to allow tomorrow, that'd be cool. i got absolutely rocked by school this week.

savvy · **Posted:** Thu Nov 15, 2007 1:15 am

Yeah, no problem.

Tomorrow, S'AWN.

OH SNAP that looks like another win for DRAM to me!!
Congrats dude, you're really racking up the points now!

DRAM · **Posted:** Tue Nov 27, 2007 5:13 pm

awesome. hey savvy, what was going on in your comic? i really had no idea.

savvy · **Posted:** Tue Nov 27, 2007 7:01 pm

Congrats Dram!! Loved the set-up, looked like it came right out of the game with the pixelated take. Really good idea, wish I'd thought of it. :B

Oh I know, it's kinda confusing. Hippo's getting increasingly bored, checking his watch etc, and then he begins to yawn. That's when Mac pops him.
