ninazerg's third installment in the It'sa Me series is a triumph. past episodes contain short flashes of brilliance amidst a disjointed and confused aesthetic. but Legend of the Foot is by a more mature, more confident artist. technical mastery and whimsical writing coalesce into a romp across franchises and themes. improved character dialogue reveals the beating heart behind absurdist unravellings of tropes. satire is easy; putting yourself out there is not. we anticipate seeing where this webcomic goes from here.

wot

glad you liked it.

Have you considered getting a pen tablet or stylus? Unless the wonky drawings are part of the aesthetic.

I'm pretty fond of the wonkiness. Also, I'm notoriously parsimonious.

Just finished reading it, and as before, theres a lot going on here, plus many funny moments.

A large number to choose from, here are some random quotes:
+ Show Spoiler +

I broke into your house to steal your valuables to sell in order to acquire the capital necessary to purchase illegal drugs
Gro-tein
im not sure, this is just a summer job.
we sell prime deli meats for lower prices than your local supermarket!!
i need to be careful not to accidentally kill someone who is a family member of someone i know.
mine was tatsumari. was.
but i got his itinerary...
you have a health plan, right?

Combined with the drawings (some of the facial expressions and stuff) it was really funny.

Also I checked, and yes, Coffee Bean Man really does have 2 left feet (part 4).
HX-9382B is actually a Sonicare electric toothbrush, not a grappling hook gun, hmm, possibly a Sonic/Sanic easter egg reference, Im gunna go with it.
tintin: lightning hitting the cabin (act of god) = deus ex machina. Generally considered bad, Ill assume its another of your subversion jokes and I just fell into the trap.

Yeah, HX9382 is a Sonic toothbrush. There's a lot of other dumb easter eggs and minor references, and I'm amazed that's the one you picked out. The grappling hook gun is real, though. I didn't know they were real things. Here's the one I thought looked pretty cool:

Imagine it'd shoot out something like a bolt that would penetrate the concrete, then anchor itself by shooting out spikes, something like this:

I was trying to think of ways to shave off having to draw some unnecessary panels, so I figured that the grappling hook shot, showing the spikes pop out, then wrapping the line around a hook on the other side didn't need to be drawn. They just shoot a thing and get across. The whole thing is kind of a cliche, and relatively uninteresting, and the only funny thing that I could think of from the whole sequence was Carl hanging onto the zip-line and freaking out.

I love how he's being treated by Dr. Mario lmao.

I can't say there's anything similar to this that I've read or seen anywhere else. It's goofy and sporadic and violent and highly entertaining. I can't imagine the amount of time it took to write and draw all these comics!

Great work as always. That Mario story about feminism is still one of the funniest things I remember reading in recent memory.

Also, I might me dumb, but I don't really get the name of the comic. What foot?

I almost forgot to talk about this. Some people know that I am a nerd for all things martial arts. Except swords. Fuck swords. The naming conventions for martial arts films always have been kinda silly, but I was thinking of this film in particular:

Fist of Legend would definitely go in my top 10 martial arts films. The thing about the film is that the title implies that Jet Li's character, Chen Zhen, has a legendary fist, when in fact, he uses both fists, and does kicks. In this webcomic, I wanted to have one of the main characters basically emulate Chun Li from the Street Fighter series, and Chun Li is known for her huge legs and her kicking. So, I originally was going to call this "Foot of Legend", but "Legend of the Foot" just seemed funnier, because why would a foot be legendary?

I consider you, [UoN]Sentinel, and catplanetcatplanet to be the funniest people on Teamliquid, so this is a very high compliment for me.
