Description First meeting comic page for kimagetsu's birthday.

Sooooo...I read Kami's birthday comic before uploading this and I see I kinda did something similar. Seems Quandary likes to leave puzzles around that lead people to his lair. Though...I guess that's kinda what his character would do so it's no big deal it happens more than once.

I would like to give a shout out to Liss for coming up with how to end the comic....because I had no ideas. Had the first half but not the second and I got handed a nice funny way to wrap it up.

This is early days so that's why the old costumes and no sidekicks.

Quandary and Nightbird logo was made by dragonslover1.

Hee, that is great. Turned out very nicely, and I really love that last panel. It's not often we get to see an incredulous Quandary, I like it.  
And the riddle you went with is /very/ Adam West Batman reminiscent. Good job man!

I have a feeling these comic pages are all going to end up with someone looking incredulous.

Well I had a good suggestion to bring in some 60s Batman...but I'll probably just take all the credit.

Sometimes I read these comics of yours and I feel like Steve Rogers, like "I got that reference" and it really makes my day. Doesnt make not being at SDCC any easier but still! 

So, fun little story about chickens: I drive someone back and forth to work and going down the road to her place there is a house with some chickens. Weirdly enough they cross the road all the time, they hear my car coming and run back to their own yard I have yet to come up with a proper hilarious twist on this little event in my life. I feel like I could have one hell of a zinger for "why did the chicken cross the road" but I'm not seeing it.

Ahhh...SDCC would be crazy with all those people and reveals every five seconds. Sounds pretty stressful to me.

Well it could be something like "Why did the chicken cross the road? Because sweetsnow had the day off work."

Did I comment on this? *checks* I did NOT. I need to get back into the habit of actually commenting on things I've looked at.

ANYHOW. That is quite the logical leap there, Nightbird. (Also, artist point: you ought to be able to see Q's left forearm in the last frame.)

This series you're doing makes me wanna do the same thing, except I know I'll fuck it up and forget about it after the third one (my track record thus far). I need a cattleprod aimed at my face to keep motivated, I swear.

The-G In reply to DragonsLover1 [2014-07-29 00:49:13 +0000 UTC]

Well it's easy to lose track of that sort of thing. I've thought I commented on something when I didn't a few times.

Yes...I noticed there's some bad construction going on there. What can I say? Sometimes I get lazy.

Well why don't you do birthday ones. That way you'll have a birthday list to remind you to keep doing them.

Hah!  Yeah, this is Q's MO, so I imagine he does it a lot.

Funny enough, this isn't the biggest leap of deductive reasoning that I've seen.  From Batman: The Movie...

Batman: Pretty fishy what happened to me on that ladder.
Gordon: You mean, where there's a fish, there could be a Penguin.
Robin: But wait! It happened at sea! See? "C" for Catwoman!
Batman: Yet — that exploding shark was pulling my leg!
Gordon: The Joker !
O'Hara: It all adds up to a sinister riddle... Riddle-er. Riddler?

I believe 60s Batman was the inspiration for the ending.

i'm going to assume that that's a hand at the bottom of the last panel. it looks a little out of place or rather misplaced. if it was really in that position there would have to be an extra forearm under the panel for the hand to connect to. i'm sorry, that's what jumped out at me when i first looked at it. i'm sorry.

other than that... oh nightbird, you're so silly

Yeah I should've caught that. I think I was running behind so I overlooked that bad construction.

Bahahahahahahahaha. XD I LOVE IT. "Seriously?" XD Also, that smile looks more like the Joker than Riddler. XD It's creepy. XD

The-G In reply to Scholar-K-Hobbit [2014-07-28 01:22:28 +0000 UTC]

Well it was their first meeting so Quandary was trying to create the right villainous impression with that smile.

Perfect. I love how Nightbird's just over analysing everything and Quandary's mantally binning all his harder riddles.

The-G In reply to starship-nope [2014-07-27 23:58:17 +0000 UTC]

I think Quandary was thinking "Well this is Nightbird so I better not make them too difficult..." but I think even he was surprised by how far Nightbird missed the mark.

starship-nope In reply to The-G [2014-07-28 11:16:37 +0000 UTC]

pshh he didn't miss the mark - surely there must be a deeper meaning to those riddles. dastardly villains, underestimating Nightbird's detecting ability

This is part of Earth-G, a parody group. Of course they're obviously based on DC characters.
