There's got to be at least one comics nerd on here. Someone explain to me what all these old comics are supposed to be, and why they all have me in them. And before you say "just google it," I did and I couldn't find anything. I have no idea where Retrospec dug these up from. Also, I've got one free ticket to the shooting range I'm willing to share. The only catch is you have to be 18+ and willing to take me too. Let me know if you're interested.

((To view the comics in larger size/more detail, click here. There was no way i was gonna manage to embed that in a DW post. EDIT: also i added a bit to this post at 4/17 11:38 EST because I was a dumbass who forgot to include it originally, sorry for any possible confusion! ))

Oh! That's disappointing to hear. I know a lot of people aren't careful of their possessions but it's always sad to hear books or graphic novels being in such poor states.

And the fact we can't look up more information on these characters too. If you're being in there is anything to go by, they could be real too. Though not running around with 'Crime' as a last name, of course.

[frostythehitman]

Just because I'm in it doesn't make it real. They probably just took my name and face and drew it into some stupid fantasy comics they made up.

[caelestialis]

If that's the case then wouldn't be the same for the other characters in these comics? Or there'll be a strong chance for it at least? They could be based/copied on real people too. Seems strange they'll stop at one person because you might as well commit to copying more names and faces if you're already doing it.

[ please never make comics, ainsley. ]

[frostythehitman]

Well I haven't seen anyone else with any of these names on this app so far.

Who knows, maybe I'm just important enough to get my own set of comic books with no one else drawn into them.

[caelestialis]

That's certainly a way to look at it!

Either way I feel like you should have some say re: the royalties of these comics. It seems like they were going on for some time.

[frostythehitman]

Pfft, sure. I'll just demand my cut of the earnings from Retrospec.

I don't even know if these got sold anywhere at all in the first place. How can there just not be a record of it online? Everything is online. It's like these got shipped to me from another universe.

Maybe that'll be what gets them to speak with us!

Anything is possible. Even your suggestions because I'm willing to believe anything at this point. Still I can't get over the fact I can't eat fruits without looking away in shame.

[frostythehitman]

Yeah right. You seriously think they'd pay up?

Yeah, I keep saying all this impossible crap but after the chocobos and the smiling fruit, I'd believe any of it. I already haven't eaten any fruit in a month. Those things are haunting me.
