My piece for the Lupin III @fiveofakindzine !

Had an absolute blast with this! I wanted to go crazy and wild with the comic medium and stretch it as far as I could, and make it as playful as the series itself. I was inspired by the old original manga as well as various (both old and new) Franco-Belgian comics, down to the very last wink, hehe!

It works waayy better on big format, go check it out on the site, AND all of the other amazing pieces by everyone!!

Decided today I wanted physical fanart of Bancho. I'm broke though so I made it myself based off a shot of one of the research cutscenes

"lock in" is probably one of the most important phrases to enter the public lexicon in the 2020s

despite being the "villain", petey sings the "i want" song of the musical ("Revenge"), typically reserved for the protagonist of a show, and dog man recieves the "i am" song, ("Dog man"), typically reserved for antagonists. petey has the most motivation and undergoes the most development; he is the true main character of the story, just like candace and doofenschmirz from pnf. in this essay i will

I know, incredible quality, but gee, I can’t find any good resolution pic for this EXACT MOMENT, like, why they look like that? I love them, like why’s DogMan like : o

I’ll definitely doing a fan art out of this tho

[adhd-nighmare]

i just watched the Dogman musical

ive got some points below the cut

summary:

its the story of books 1-3 (manly focusing on 3) and basically George and Harold were kicked out of their school musical (implied to be Annie) because they kept "changing the script" (this happens before the show starts) and so they decide to create their own musical based on dogman.

little changes that i noticed from other productions (i haven't seen any other versions. this is just the obvious stuff)

they mention bunnings (the real version of hammer barn from bluey)

THEY TOOK OUT THE EVIL ABCs!!!!!!!!!

differences from the books/movie:

Petey is... really fucking dramatic... like... way more than books and movie!!

like the books it only takes Petey a day to take LP back from DM

sarah is a nameless role who appears in one scene

there are a few breaks between scenes where George and Harold are trying to figure out how to do the next scene

i'll think of more later

stuff i really like:

Genie appears!!

Flippy's costume (during and after i'm back)

how all of the animals (other than cats) are sock puppets first (greg, flippy)

the songs! there are a lot of references to other musicals

how its all set in George and Harolds treehouse

during 'a far far better thing' Harold grabs a flag with Dogman on it and starts waving it around (the song is literally taken from les mis)

the props!

how when there is a bigger action scene they use cutouts of the characters

pre show there is a voice recording of Dav Pilkey basically saying 'please dont film this'. (Boooooo) and he makes a Captain Underpants refrence

stuff that i can remember (will probably update):

dogman flossing (yes... the dance)

'gentlemen' 'and a nurse lady!'

This image kills me every time I see it. World’s most joyous transfem In Her Element versus world’s most miserable transmasc who stole from his friend because all her clothes still fit.

(Akiren is a mix of both. Transmasc who feels euphoric doing drag)

i lowkey have too many notes to write down properly KDFHKDS but ill write them down for Future Cele so i can read it later and be like omggg past cele ur so fun and interesting

in general, the more "color" the scenes have, the closer it is to "real life" as opposed to the muted/hushed winter blues of maruki's reality

i.e. the dark frames w akira smiling and the very last panel are when reality sinks in: first for akira, then for goro

by the way this is long winter au but sumire is still brainwashed. this also works for canonverse but i just had long winter au in mind:o

youve heard of laundry and taxes now get ready for coffee and pastries

in every panel, akira is smiling! :) and goro is very much not smiling.

intentionally his face is hidden in the last 2 pages so its unclear whether it's the "ideal reality" already (akira/goro's daydreams/wants/desires), or if goro is still fighting akira on making sure he picks the right choice

the smoke from the first page kinda leads into the 3rd page omfg COMPLETELY UNINTENTIONAL BUT REALLY COOL LMAOOO

that's nameless and belladonna in jazz jin!!! i love them. I LOVETHEM. i miss them so bad is it obvious

the cafe is loosely based off of caffe strada @ uc berkeley LMAO. my parents used to take me there a lot as a little kid so that's the first cafe i think of when i imagine one. its like right on the streetside, basically on the sidewalk, so its very bustling and people are always walking by... probably a little disconcerting to see everyones summery bright smiles despite the bitter cold and snow

in long winter AU, the Ideal Reality starts before 1/1 so yeah they get to see the new years fireworks together (or something)

also intentional that they wear the same winter outfits in the whole comic although it Probably does not take place at the same time. in maruki's snowglobe, time seems frozen in place... but akira and goro are both acutely aware that the sands are running thru QUICK

goro's frustrated expression on page 3 is one also of disdain: "don't speak FOR me you fucking imbecile" type of expression.

goro, who's never lived a normal life and therefore doesn't know much abt "normalcy" nor really actively seeks it. this 3rd semester is basically purgatory for him and he doesn't care to try and go through the motions the way akira does. akira what do YOU know about the type of "normalcy" i deserve? how do YOU know if i "deserve" that?

im thinking that this is a naive akira who is mostly set on taking the deal because he feels hopeless... seeing all his friends with good happy lives while goro and himself are alive and miserable and shouldering the weight of the world during the horror of long winter......

oh but if he takes the deal they could all be good and alive and happy!!!.... and goro knows this. i feel like in any other universe (i.e. akira is 100% certain on not taking the deal and goro knows this) then goro would be happy and carefree to do these little indulgences for himself and akira's sake, to just enjoy the snowglobe world while it exists.

but this goro is discontent. he sees how akira is enjoying the snowglobe and knows maruki is depending on this. goro has to be the one to remind akira that none of this is his to keep........ in this fucked up world, routine is dangerous. becoming comfortable is dangerous. they cannot keep any of this.

on that note, goro says "i hate you" in a halfhearted sort of way (it's not true and akira knows that.) but he's trying to think of a way that he can dissuade akira from picking the wrong choice.....

and i think the thing is, goro thinks all of this, but he still falls into the rhythm of routine with akira anyway. in a way, goro feels hopeless too.

all of this is maruki's doing........ paralyzed by the inability to choose... whatever you do, you lose. goro needs to hold akira at arm's length so the stupid sentimental fool doesn't get too attached and falls into the wrong universe. akira needs to make a concentrated effort to detach himself from goro even though he wants the simplest thing in the world: just one more unremarkable day with him. it's lose-lose..........,

also i liked drawing the tentacles in the last pic the freaking blue lines on them were SO satisfying to draw

edit: also the last page: the blood flooding the panel….. the idea of the ideal world being built off of the blood and sweat and tears and bodies of the people who could have been. of those lost in the actualization, of those destroyed, of those stitched together and brought back to life. all just for a little false happiness. goro sees it but akira doesn’t, and it’s a grim sight.
