This leaves a weird, haunting, tremulous voice in the back of my head that keeps saying "Skeleton Jelly"

[–]measuredinyears 11 points12 points ago

Luckily I was listening to Bubble Pop while reading this comic, so the whole thing had an upbeat, happy tone to it! I recommend trying it to some music.

[–]likwidmatt 10 points11 points ago

So, Asia's ten-year music lag has finally gotten them to the slutty teen pop idol phase I see.

[–]ambroaz 8 points9 points ago

And what a glorious phase it is.

Skelly jelly jelly pop, Skelly jelly pop pop!

K-Pop always leaves me with two opposite and distinct emotions:

"This music is awful"

and

"Boner"

In a pop song it's called a "chorus!" :)

[–]Minimumtyp 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I was talking about the bass drop. You know, the bit were everything went all dubstep. I can't explain which bit I think is the chorus because it's all in fucking Korean, but I'm fairly sure that's not the chorus.

, and your comment inspired the voice I ultimately went with.

[–]BearSole 0 points1 point ago

That's pretty much the effect that the voice had in my head. Well done :D

This was drawn by Mat Brinkman, an artist and electronic musician from Texas. All sources of this comic seem to have been wiped from the internet.

[–]Cavemonster 19 points20 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It's from Multiforce, a comic Mat published in Paper Rodeo, a newsprint comics thing in Providence.

You can buy the collection here

[–]jockc 2 points3 points ago

Thank you good sir, I just bought it for myself for Xmas.

Ordered! Also available at Family, which has a lot of (admittedly unrelated) on-sale t-shirts by Alakazam (Will Sweeney/Susumu Mukai/Matt Furie/etc). Normally in the $60 price range, now $20...and that is why I'm currently broke.

The r/creepy folks wanted this made into a short film about the dangers of acid trips...

So this is just like an investigative documentary piece on the daily lives of the mobs inhabiting my D&D dungeons?

[–]Thickas2 9 points10 points ago

Archived 4chan thread of the extended works.

That site has been shit lately though, so I guess I'll make an imgur mirror.

I put that together hastily as I have to be off to class. I have never dealt that much with imgur, so shit might be messed up.

I am by no means OP of anything here, I just remembered that archived thread.

[–]doctorzoom 3 points4 points ago

Thanks for linking this. It's a shame that the scan is so messed up on the left side of the last image. Is there a better image out there somewhere?

[–]fuckingsuperman 0 points1 point ago

Cool, thanks.

Do you know if that is the whole book?

Apparently "back to our roots" means "repost ALL the things."

[–]Quetz23 2 points3 points ago

Meh its still a good comic, and Im sure there are plenty of people who havent seen it yet.

[–]omnithrope[S] 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Not everyone has seen everything on the Internet. I can't remember the last time I saw this on WTF.

[–]brettaburger 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I agree with this argument but I'm just pointing out that about 75% of the "back to our roots" posts seem like reposts to me.

[–]omnithrope[S] 1 point2 points ago

Yeah, they are.

Skeleton Jelly? I am skeleton jelly! I am skeleton jelly. NO! I am skeleton jelly. Jeleton Smelly? Am I skeleton jelly? No! I am skeleton jelly.

I really have no clue where I was going with this.

How do I have a skeleton jelly song stuck in my head after reading a comic?

[–]allwaysnice 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Any creepiness this had was diminished because I couldn't help reading Mr. Skeleton's voice in a sing-song "bad rap" voice.

We contacted Skeleton Harvester for comment on this incident. His office replied, saying quote: "SKELETONSSKELETONSSKELETONSSKELETONSSKELETONSSKELETONSSKELETONSSKELETONSSKELETONSSKELETONSSKELETONSSKELETONSSKELETONSSKELETONS"

Stay tuned for more updates.

Behold! A Mediafire link for the entire Multiforce Comic!

Though I probably got here late, and someone already posted it.

Much better scans than the imgur mirror...

Clearly a metaphor for the Blue Party of Wexelrod's pursuit of an identity following the civil war against the united party. After a pyrrhic victory, the Blue Party (BP) only stood as a mere skeleton of what it once was. Lacking structural integrity, the BP actually moved throughout the (metaphorically) dark country trying to rebuild. They sent some delegates to their neighbors to the north (Yiltchin) who were experimenting with a parliament styled government. Having too many representatives, the northern state of Yiltchin fell apart only furthering the confusion of the BP. As time progressed, the people of Wexelrod demanded a government of action. With this vacuum of power, the United Power reorganized and nearly lured the BP into a trap (too complicated for now) where they destroyed the BP.
