Someone tell Bellsprout it's not too late to turn back.

Before Pokeblocks, Pokemon actually had to excercise to look good.

So in other words, it takes evolution for hormones to kick in correctly. Right then.

Sheesh, I thought she was 24, not 16. She's obviously never dated before.

Realistically, you'd be freaked out by Victreebel, too.

Screw Meta Knight. Waiu is a lot more awesome and yet he was only in a single game. Sickening.

And I thought we were worried about Waiu just a page ago.

I had assumed before that first stage Nidos and beyond were rather carnivorous, why else would they have fangs?

For those who still don't get it, these are the comics used in the collection, as well as an original snippet. So no, none of the stories are new except the bonus stories at the end.

Negative reinforcement? Nah. Countless poor experiences didn't effect me at all (though to be fair, Kirby's Rainbow Resort was still the best place I've ever been to. Twice).

Oy, the naked (possibly pedo) driver in the parking lot. That's a fun childhood memory for my sister and I. x_x

Ash Head has been inihilated via blasphemy countless times, but he always comes back in the next story, or even strip. Like DRJ says on the next page, no one seems to stay dead.

I swear, Kaboom cereal is surreal. You'd think it'd be something that only existed in cartoons.

This is one of my favorite sequences back in the old Poppistar comics. Blade Knight inc. (character) is a cut up. Mostly because he's an exaggeration of Jared's demenor back then. I'm telling you, the most interesting material comes from real life.

Does this have anything to do with Pokemon? No. But it's funny AND relevant to the collection. Funnier still is how people responded to/edited the ads thinking they were clever. "Wanna Kill a Guy" is a real example. I'm still waiting for the punchline to that one. Eh, not everybody can be a writer. =/

Click this sentence for a real life example from an old ezboard of our escapade, and a lame response (though in context, "That's the spirit!" is pretty funny).

This is back before spam bots surfaced and humans had to sign up to advertise something. Now ads don't distinguish a site's life or death, instead of showing signs of activity.

On the old site, this page would be the start of a new segment. You should be able to tell because it no longer focuses on message boards (for the most part), and Nidorino becomes more of a character and less of a mouthpiece (until it relates to the internet again). His whole personality just kinda changes.

I live across the street from a dog like that, every time it sees us it runs into our yard just to yap at us. I'm doing all I can NOT to kick it moonbound.

Is it me or does Nidorina come off as lusty at times? And I thought she was the good one! Nothing would ever happen between the two of them, though, folks. You know me. Not with characters I care about, anyway.

It IS just like the real world. But the world didn't count on one thing... not only won't I take no for an answer, but I'm militant about creative appreciation and doing things right. These fansites are minute examples. I haven't even begun yet.

Millions of people don't understand subcontext.

A battle for moral surpremecy. I can see these two getting into it a lot despite sharing just about all views. Also, it's nice to see just how much Nidorina cares for Nidorino, no matter what happens. If you've got someone like that, best hold on to 'em.

Not that she has anything they haven't seen before.

DRJ helps explain why attraction to Charlotte is weird, something I didn't think about in the old comics. I mean, unless Nidorino is attracted to underage lolis (I would insert a joke about him originating from Japan and being boyish himself, but even I think that's in poor taste, even if it is true).

DRJ sums up my sentiments exactly. But seriously, despite all his curiosities of the female body, Nidorino probably would faint or scream if he ever saw anybody nude, male or female. He doesn't have the mentality to handle it.

Whoosh. Just went over another's head.

This viewer can pretty much render end of book commentary obsolete, but hopefully I didn't repeat anything written here.

To clarify, by "graceful" I mean in the comic, Nidorino just solemnly closes down NFP. In real life, no. I removed everything because "people didn't deserve it", and chewed everyone out who had a sheep mentality. Fun stuff. Didn't change the world, though. You can read up about the site's history under the ABOUT page.

Charlotte is such a zombie in these old stories. It's kind of weird. But most of you are seeing these collections as new right now, instead of when it was new in 2001-ish. So it may not have the same effect.

The way Charlotte stretches her arms outward in the last panel of the first strip makes me laugh.

Frankenstein here gives the coldest hug ever.

Thanks to Aqua Bunny, I don't think Nidorina would be a good candidate these days if you're searching for very obscure. It made a lot more sense when people still couldn't get Nidorina's name right.

I think her actions and reactions are much more realistic than Mewtwo. An animal would be easily spooked by sudden "happenings". Plus, having something that manipulates atoms is about as dangerous as you can get. She could, in theory, instantly collapse a living creature into a puddle of water, for example.

And here, Charlotte transcends halfway into supernatural, losing half of her...humanity? Naturalness? At any rate, that half of her is basically dead and replaced by that eye, which you'll see keeps her alive, now.

Darn the natural need for love!

Nidorina's thought in the first panel: "Wow, YOU'RE absolutely undateable..." It's fun to look at characters in a past setting.

I guess there we're no mirrors in the lab.

Yeah, "Gabriel" is a little on the nose.

Apparently, Kirby's played EarthBound.

Proof that Charlotte is not invincible. PS: That Devil's Machine shot is ultra cool.

Gooey, Chuchu, and Porygon could probably regroup if it wasn't for that blast behind them.

Rule of thumb: A reaper's motives are ALWAYS ulterior.

I wonder what else Kine and Jeff could build in a day?

Rick's fakeout got me... again.

I'd pay to see a Blade Knight inc movie. Beats everything Hollywood's pumping out. And speaking of poor education, looks like that sensationalism isn't helping the American school children, either.

Girls? Bah. Kine don't like girls. Kine like SCIENCE!

Kine should take solace in the fact that the Pokemon living with him are less irritating than the ones living with Kirby.

Oh man, Pac-Man is so right.

You don't win friends with Roosevelt impressions, much less on a planet where the majority have no idea who he is.

Besides, it's never a party without Rick and Coo. They're like Lenny and Carl.

I wish my phonies were sincere...

Wow, Nidorina spoils her baby sister rotten. That or Charlotte is very manipulative.

Mewtwo has never looked better.

What's funny is that Son of Nightmare, the frickin' SON of Nightmare, is freaked out by the demon band as well. In the original comic, Charlotte didn't mind the dark band, but it seems contrary to her background and demeanor, so I altered that.

Don't get technical, bub.

I'm learnding!

The rule of non-human cartoon creatures: Unclothed ≠ full exposure. Therefore, clothing is arbitrary.

Death is hilarious.

What sucks is that most art teachers are either like Nidorina or like Magnemite. Both don't help you at all.

Regarding Mouser; You know what's more dangerous than a brat? A smart one.

The top comic was pretty hard to do, because realistically there would be no Social Worker flash card for kids, and Charlotte can't speak. So I had to explain that, essentially, Charlotte would most likely become some sort of great peacemaker/missionary when she matures, but in confined space. Or a guardian angel. Or, it'll all be in vain and she'll do what she's programmed to do. Who knows, really.

In all fairness, Charlotte doesn't really have anything to see. Ah, childlike irreverence. Also, it must be fun to be so easily amused, and to think others will think your toying around with the universe is amusing, too.

You'll notice this story was done a little differently. It's a lot more scenic, kind of like an OVA or movie versus a cartoon, with many more establishing shots and just playing around with zooms and stuff. Also, the pacing is a lot more relaxed.

Don't you have some souls to reap?

Claus isn't even pretending to be interested.

That's right, boy, just keep digging yourself deeper.

Because visions of horrifying death keep me coming back.

Since they keep getting the short end of the stick, I suggest Lucas and Paula hook up.

Wait... what are these guys fighting over again?

She's somethin' alright...
