#408 – The Revolution Will Be Televised
May 6th, 2012 |
Morth’s Great Conspirator co-conspirator, Kevin the Deceitful returns.
So Calgary Comic Expo was a lot of fun. I’ll be back later on to share some stories, photos, and links to some of the webcomic folks we met. Because it’s late.
I think we have a comment system now. Go nuts.
Oh, Morth, you rambunctious little scouse. Social media isn’t for the downfall of civilization, it’s for… for…
…
Carry on.
Nuts? What kind? Peanuts? Walnuts? PISTACHIOS? Cashews? Deeznuts?
The world needs to know! After all, how are you supposed to properly lose your legumes if you’re not sure which ones to go with?
Macadamia. Everything is better with Macadamia.
Glad all the clutter’s gone from the daemon speech bubbles, was a real strain to read.
Yeah, I look back at those and je regrette. Got overly ambitious. Messing with the bubble shape is a much better way to go about it.
I can not be the only one here who tried to find every single video featured here (Even tried looking for Lordvoldemorth!) only to notice it said ‘Voodootube’ at the top after all that fruitless searching.
Oh, ‘Badgers’ came up easily enough. Bet Morth isn’t too happy that everything he does is related to that.
I only tried the first one. For a second I thought it was going to send me to “that weird part of youtube”
On a related note, shouldn’t someone have been signed in and Subscribed to top it all off? The template’s dull.
Just wait until RE: Girls start popping up. :L
Looks like Morth has the right idea in trying to corrupt via social media but there is one factor he didn’t count on. Not everyone uses those sites so he better have an alternate for those who ignore social media sites.
Isn’t this a case of preaching to the choir, though? If they’re on a social networking site enough to notice this in the first place, they’re *already* corrupted. See Facebook…
It’s more like how emo’s are kinda like goths but not.
There’s a comments section now?
THE FORUMS ARE *DOOMED*!
(Come say hi.)
Now I never have to visit the forums, Just kidding.
Awesome, comments. You will regret this move…
Hmm, never been to the forums, and it’s my first time commenting here…better make it something eloquent, well thought-out, and guaranteed to win the respect of the regulars!
-peers up at the comic-
“FAKE AND GAY LOLOLOLOLOLOLO”
Well, it’s about time you added comments.
Did anyone else hear the unmistakable sound of a can of worms being opened?
Woo, comments!
Been following this comic for ages, and the forums never worked right for me.
Yup, same here sir.
Well that’s good, thanks for reading. Even without technical issues, we figured in general it was a simpler way for more people to get in touch. In these days of fast-paced social media, who has time to sign up to archaic old FORUMS any more? — you’d be better off commenting by carrier pigeon.
Lol.
I did sign up to the forum, but like I said, it never worked right. Not sure what was wrong with it but I couldn’t do anything on it. Tried a new account, same issue. After that I just didn’t bother any more – which is why I like this! I mean any good comic needs comments and this is a good comic! So all is well again.
How strange. But yes, all is well. We talked about comments back when Silv first built the new site, but something in the layout was not playing well with the comment box, and it was displaying oddly, so we put it on hold. We came back to it, and he managed to get it working right, and here we are.
PIGEONS!!! I hate birds…
Hello Shale.
Finally, huzzah for comments, Great comic you guys honestly. Been a fan for about four years now, anyways keep up the good work and thanks.
Ofcourse! Why didn’t I ever see it?!
USE YOUTUBE FOR EVIL.
Gawd, this man is frighteningly genius! A true trail blazer in the world of villainy!!!!!1111oneoneone
Let me at those seductive sammich recipes!
Morth recorded this with a potato! Unsubscribed!
(Hoorah, comments with the Gravatar system!)
Morth = favourite villain ever. But isn’t sending instructions for demonic summoning through the internet gonna fuel Fernex’ cult? I mean, he’s the techno guy. Unless you consider this like turning Fernex’ means against himself – Patterner-level twisted indeed.
Well it’s good to see comments around here. Now I won’t have to get around to all that forum-stuff that I was never going to get around to.
Anyone else look at the second to last panel with Silas and see him saying “Boobs/Sacrifices as far as you can see, Great Patterner.”?
And take care, spike yer hair.
WOO WOO WOO
You know it.
Love how he spelled artifact wrong in the video title.
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/artefact
Oh, it’s one of THOSE cases, is it?
What, where it’s spelt right for the UK/Commonwealth/any English speaking country aside from America? Unfortunately showing you up a little since you assume everything spelt the American way is right for the rest of the world. Again. ;) Not that we expect you would know, it just keeps happening to you.
So again. It’s one of THOSE cases.
It’s -always- one of those cases. ;p
Well, while most of the true spellings….. taste better to me (long train of thought leading to the decision on that word, don’t ask), most of the idiots in the United States (in name only, though everyone outside of the country knows that already) think that because our Spellcheck (HAH it doesn’t recognize spellcheck. that’s brilliant) doesn’t like, say, “favourite” that it must be wrong. I laugh at their puny intellects.
Well, comments, then. Now I can finally articulate my exquisitely-crafted thoughts on the…
…I have no idea what to say (other than awesome comic!).
Join us next week for another thrilling installment of me, trying to think of something to write! Action! Laughs! Romance! None of the above will feature! In the next episode of CAPTAIN SPACE, DEFENDER OF THE UNIVERSE!
So back when I started reading this comic there were links to other fiction set in this universe. It seemed like a whole community of writers and artists that set their fan fiction in a different Mobius than either the Sonic games or the comics (I understand there’s a different, non-Archie Sonic comic in Britain?) When EN got its own site the links were gone and I was wondering if that community or at least their works were still around. Can you guys point me in the right direction?
That world was referred to by the unfortunate title “The Grim Darkness”. And nah, that “community” was basically us four. Actually three – Lothar really didn’t get involved until it turned comedy webcomic. There were maybe half a dozen others that contributed ideas, created characters, took part in short-lived forum roleplays, and maybe did small bits of art and writing. But none of it really went anywhere until EN.
The bulk of the writing back then was was world-building, and that formed the basis for the world we explore in EN. In terms of stories, I just recall several that were begun but never finished. Suffice to say, all of the material that was any good has been or will be recycled into EN stories.
I remember seeing that before. Does that place still exist or are those very cool archives lost to the internets?
Oh, WE still have all that stuff. We just wont be sharing it in that form :P Who knows, maybe we’ll get a wiki going one of these days.
That… would be pretty freakin’ awesome actually.
Posting videos of your evil plans on the internet doesn’t seem like a good idea.
What if, say, Lothar is a subscriber to Morth’s channel? That would kinda give Morth’s game away…
CultistMealTime. Priceless stuff right there.
CULTIST STYLE!
Cultist bacon strips!
INSIDE OF MORE CULTIST BACON STRIPS!
MADE OUT OF REAL CULTISTS!
By cultists! For cultists!
Well, now we have comments up it is time for the more extroverted of us to say Hi to Virus and the crew.
Hi guys.
The comic is… incredible. Polished, combining Warhammer with Sonic art styles is a genius, fresh approch I hadn’t seen before… The humour is pretty nice, with a touch of gamer humour thrown in. (The ‘demonic spiders’ back at that secret facility is that to which I refer.)
I am really impressed with this, honestly. I’d put you up at Questionable Content level, so I really don’t understand why you were overawed. I do wish you’d update more often however because the comic is just that good. But I think I’d say that even about Questionable Content or El Goonish Shive – both of which are worth checking out by the way, though for totally different reasons than this comic, of course.
…Yeah, that’s all I have to say. Congrats on an incredible comic. :)
^ All my sentiments. Except for “Questionable Content” as I never read it.
Cool. I can say hi now. Or talk about how hard this page made me laugh. Or something like that.
Has Morth been practising for revenge on Harry? http://exterminatusnow.co.uk/2007-12-15/comic/black-and-white/im-afraid-stupefy-had-no-effect/ And the Antelope bastard: http://exterminatusnow.co.uk/2011-02-21/comic/chase-sequence/safety-guaranteed/ (For those that didn’t get it: Throne/chair)
Um, aren’t the world’s youth ALREADY corrupted?
Not towards the Patterner. Not all of them, anyway.
Indeed. I’m a follower of Shar, myself. Mistress of Night, Lady of Loss, holder of sundry deadly secrets… What can I say, I play a LOT of rogues/assassins.
I just noticed Morth’s username: LordVoldeMorth. That’s pretty damn funny.
Anyone else having flashbacks to Doctor Horrible’s Sing Along Blog?
I just started reading this on my psp 3 days ago. iv been hooked ever since but ive wondered about the legal hurdles you guys have to face when making this?
Yeah, Morth is an idiot. But an ingenious idiot. Go figure that his plans involve something like this, it was only inevitable that the internet would become nefarious in such a way. Not that it hasn’t already, mind, but yeah.
I love that damn Demon! When Kevin is squinting at someone I always snicker at him, it just tickles me.. yeah
