What I got for Christmas

by OhYo on Jan.09, 2009, under Food & Holiday, Humor

I wanted to try not posting about what I got for Christmas again, but for some reason this ‘gift’ had to be noted. This gift was given via snail-mail and internets to Superstretch, HT and I from the illustrious (or illustrationous) Zepuka. Let me start with a disclaimer to HT as it is unconfirmed if he has received this gift also in the mail. (CTRL+W out if you haven’t gotten it yet.) Without further deliberation…

Hilarious, no? Everyone likes subtleties: especially when they’re difficult to pick out and very especially when it pertains to you and fellow zomgees. I’ll probably not catch them all but here’s a go.

Frame 1:

  1. Red shirt (my fav color)
  2. Do a Barrel Roll” on shirt (my fav meme)
  3. correct eye colors (should have known being asked what color they were)
  4. Cake is a lie” (orange for Aperture Science/orange box?) (linger roll over for info)
  5. Stretch’s Hair (didn’t notice it the first time through)
  6. Fresh” beverage (Bel-Air’d flavor)
  7. HT’s skin (Oh, that’s a shirt)

Frame 2:

  1. Poof (onomatopoeia; significance?)
  2. Flat-top hair on future HT (vanilla ice?)
  3. visor (Star Trek TNG?)
  4. Nervously confused giant sweat droplets (manga iconography everywhere)
  5. Ta-Da (windows 95 sound?)

Frame 3:

  1. Exclamation point (Metal Gear Solid discovery)
  2. Bell-bottoms are ‘in’ in the future?
  3. great back-shot of the mini-ears
  4. Is that the same shirt they’re wearing? only from different times?

Frame 4:

  1. Was hoping HT was wearing jorts at this point

Frame 5:

  1. Hobbitstretch (throwback to HT’s post?)
  2. notjorts
  3. Oi VEY! (proof Yiddish still exists in the future)
  4. FutureHT’s dialog (traveling into the past is impossible)
  5. (but even if it was, wouldn’t they travel to a time where it’d be fix more optimally?)

Frame 6:

  1. OhYo is not Zordon
  2. Ahhhh! (from this)
  3. Finally unveiling what’s on SS’s shirt

Frame 7

  1. Not picking up phone inside joke (I’ve not been informed I suppose)
  2. SS is still a midget/hobbit, lol.

Frame 8

  1. Not sure who’s supposed to be rescuing me, FutureHT seems to be bailing.
  2. Gifts in green bags might help. Can’t get enough of *Whack*
  3. A young Barak or Will Smith (jorts) witnessing trouble in his neighborhood.

Frame 9

  1. Glad I have at least a little of something to drink when I come to
  2. Not sure if this thing is a conveyor belt taking me to my doom or something
  3. Dig the visors, but I can’t be too eager to find out what’s brainwashing me
  4. “I know that laugh”

I’m sure I’m missing a lot; considering other hints were given by our venerable artist; any help from the peanut gallery? One hint given was something about how the colors used were pretty much important in every case. By the way, we’re famous, we’re cartoons.

    Panel 5 – why is there gum in my hair? Or am I so strong that I have veins popping out of my follicles?

    On a couple points, you’re just over analyzing, on others you’re close, some are dead on, and you still missed some entirely. xD

    I realized when I was coloring that I never really FULLY displayed FHT’s shirt in a way that was readable. It’s merely a spin on ‘the cake is a lie’ and says instead, ‘the cake is truth’… just some guessing on my part how the game might have changed in the future…

    Keep thinking on a manga iconography… Dan’s just so little that he easily produces a ‘throbbing vein’ when angry.
    “Throbbing veins, usually depicted as a cruciform or triskel in the upper head region, indicate anger or irritation. These shapes can sometimes be exaggerated”

    It appears someone also got a gift of excess time for Christmas too. (My subtle way of saying someone had too much time on their hands.) :-)

    @Zepuka… b-b-b-but in my hair?

    I agree with the time thing!

    Might I point out that I spent a week at my grandparent’s over Christmas break with NO car, No internet, and NOTHING else to do…?

    Let it also be known that the recipients were forewarned of the author’s mindset during the production time…

    @Dan – That’s where most expressions go… over the character’s head. Tom and Pete had the classic ’sweat drop’ effect on their heads in an earlier panel…

    @Dan – If you rather, I could just call it a barrette… and nice red flower one ;)

    Yes, thank you for the visual… and I just noticed, you titled the picture ‘zomgeekawaii’… naw, if you want ‘kawaii’, that’s what the cards were for. xD

    I quickly Ctrl-W’d earlier today when you wrote this and got home in time to get my present and then enjoy this post.

    Great work ZePuka, also Ohyo way to notice way more things than I did…are you sure you’re not upper-left? I’m looking forward to where this is going though, maybe we’ll have to give ZePuKa writing rights on zomgee and have a weekly cartoon or something.

    To answer some questions:
    Ohyo – “Not picking up phone inside joke (I’ve not been informed I suppose)” This refers to my original time travel post when future me called my phone, but I was too hesitant to answer, and I never left myself a message.

    ZePuKa – Santa says ‘ho ho ho’ quite obviously because Hobbits like the earth and all things gardening.

    weekly? @_@ How about quarterly…? Christmas, and Birthday x 3? This first page took roughly a month from idea, development, design, sketching, scanning, and coloring… of course since it was the first one, it required a lot more work, but still… weekly isn’t doable. The last 3 steps still require about 4 days… and for the storyline, I rely heavily on the epic writing skills of HT… My timeline is centered around such blog posts… <_< So I can only go as fast as you can keep the posts coming. xD

    Thanks for explaining the hobbit santa… xD

    They also use stick figures.

    Hi there,

    I’d appreciate it if you’d stop linking to the picture of young Obama that’s hosted on my site. If you want to link, link to the post I made about that picture. Thanks! :)
