Anonymous asked: Dearest Mod, has the stripe across hero's face/jacket changed sides between this newest page and the one before it? Or am I just a dummy who doesn't understand what's going on?
sorry it’s not very clearly done is it- the bright stripe is the light beam coming from the doorframe!
so a bunch of folks were celebrating the fact that Negative is a magical girl with that last update and I gotta tell you the Patreon supporters had this as a reward Quite a While Ago
Anonymous asked: Hey, sorry, if this is a question you've already answered but how tall is RGB? I feel like you've already answered it somewhere but I couldn't find it. I ADORE RGB and would love to cosplay him someday, but I am a transman and awfully short (158cm) Almost every character I love is too tall to comprehend. I'd cosplay him anyway btw (if you don't oppose of course), but I would love to know by how much I am missing the mark haha
congratulations! you’ll be happy to know that RGB is canonically 5′5″! so your own height plus a TV/hat will probably get you there! :D
thatsuspiciouswhalenut asked: So Nothing is Many Things?
so this is gonna be a rare semi-explanation bc I don’t think it ever gets stated in the comic particularly bc you know I don’t do that
well, my whole reasoning with the appearance of Nothing being as it is is that there is “No Thing”- aka, no single thing. I’ve always had difficulty with environments where there’s a lot happening. I have hyperacuity, though I didn’t know it for a very long time, so I often get overwhelmed and all my senses- particularly my hearing- go into overdrive. My parents say when I was a kid if something happened that I didn’t like (like a bad noise or if there was a party and a lot of people were around) I would just up and take myself off to the very farthest part of the house- as far away from the ‘it’ as possible, and stay there, not doing anything. While I was thinking about the concept of the Nothing it was very difficult because, I mean, how do you draw ‘nothing’? It’s nothing! And eventually I ended up thinking more about the feeling of it I wanted, and then pulling the word around I was suddenly like hey, what about, instead of an absence of stuff like the ‘—–’ (because Nothing is different from that trust me) what if nothing is actually just everything happening at the same time, because there is no time. There is no space. There’s just, nothing, so it’s absolutely everything ever happening at once in a big discordant mass heaving around- because there’s so much, there’s no barriers, there’s no middles no endings or beginnings, there’s not even the bit that joins things up whatever that is. It’s basically that thing that I would take myself as far away as possible from, and stay still, so that I wasn’t it.
Anonymous asked: I saw you reference some DnD stuff in a few of ur reply’s to asks, and I was wondering: what would the TPOH cast be like as DnD characters/players? (I personally love the idea of RGB as a Bard and Hero as a Paladin, but I’d love to hear your ideas!!!!)
OH DAMN I never thought of that hang on it’s like first post of the morning so these are just off the top of my head-
RGB = Bard or Rogue? Bardrogue
Hero = Paladin OR a Monk. Just because. She’d think they were super cool.
Madras = the best NPC merchant ever
Dial = BARD BARD BARDEST B
TOby = world’s most long suffering Cleric
Assok = Druid. trust me.
Julienne = Fighter. many stabds
Melody = there are way too many bards in this party but I mean BARDBARIAN
Tinker = Wizard??? nerd. nerd class. magical mechanic nerd.
Tailor = Sorcereress
Cell = another NPC merchant but also a Warlock and everyone is Afraid to Ask
Click = Bad
Anonymous asked: Do you have a particular voice in mind for Hero?
the one you hear inside your head when you read it
deathchrist2000 asked: So I've just started reading The Property of Hate (I know, shame on me, but I got into you through the Duck comics), and I'm not sure what your knowledge of Doctor Who is, but I'm getting a Seventh Doctor vibe from RGB. Was this intentional like the Gladstone influence or are my interests bleeding into your comic?
I don’t think I had a specific Doctor in mind but there certainly is a WHO influence in RGB! other inspirations include Bert from Mary Poppins, Mary Poppins herself, Number 6 from The Prisoner, and Anubis, to name but a few!
Anonymous asked: thank you for making Hero an actual damn hero like my god this kid smart as hell
I grew up being super frustrated at kid/young adult protagonists in stories making stupid decisions that no damn kid I knew was dumb enough to make, so I wanted Hero to be a real kid with actual common sense and a bit of an inventor’s streak. Also most of the children I meet are smarter than I am so that’s how I write her :Tb
Anonymous asked: that outfit is SO GOOD also, did the ribbons on the sleeves stay the same colour? the ones Hero gave him in the market :O
THANKS I LIKE IT TOO and yes! they’re a surface addition and aren’t fully integrated into his design, so they remain the same colour no matter what his other clothes do!
Anonymous asked: Very unrelated but semi-important question: can rgb dance the dances of passion? I'm talking about the salsa, tango, mamba, ect. (Also greetings from mexico!)
