Die Now, Die Later! Page 17
Meet Racer Lad! For those of you wondering–yes he is a parody of Speed Racer.
Also, if you’re still reading, it’s time for me to announce the Bunny Wiggins Store! If you have some extra cash (and who doesn’t these days?) why not indulge in a Bunny Wiggins mug or a Mallory poster? It’s a rhetorical question… I’m not looking for an actual answer. Besides the answer may be personal, and this is indeed the internet… and there are always people watching around every corner. Be very careful everyone. I’m just looking out for you…
Constant Vigilance!
Note: On this and successive pages, you may notice references to “Racer Boy” or “RB” in the comments section. It has come to my attention, weeks after the completion of the story, that there may be a conflict with another character named “Racer Boy”. When I did my initial search on the character name about a year ago, I found no reference to this name on the internet. Apparently, someone who had drawn a completely different “Racer Boy” several years ago (that I was completely unaware of) has recently decided to revive the character. To avoid any possible conflicts, and to save myself some potential grief, I have renamed him Racer Lad. Thanks for reading!
Wow!!! Aunty Madge is racing car builder. What an asset. Most aunties will knit you a scarf or itchy mohair jumper. Loved the Gesundheit gag
Thanks! Sweaters and cookies aren't really Aunty Madge's thing… she's really handy with a socket wrench, though!
Great Bunny Wiggins today. Cool parody of Speed Racer!
Thanks Chris! I'm glad you liked it!
Haha! Great last line
Thanks! I think I heard the Beatles use that phrase or something similar in interviews, and thought it would be fun to use it here.
So what does the Q on Racer Boy's helmet stand for. Inquiring minds want to know.
It's playing off of something somewhat obscure… if you watch the old Speed Racer Cartoons, there are initials on things that probably don't make sense to the English speaking viewers (like for example, the "G" on Speed Racer's shirt). In the original Japanese versions they would make more sense…. short story long, I'm not really sure what the Q stands for…
Go, Racer Boy, Go! Something tells me high-octane adventure is just around the next lap!
Action is HIS reward! … wait a minute… that's the old Spiderman cartoon.. I guess it can still apply here, though!
Thoroughly enjoyed the S.R. parody! You did a nice, entertaining job with that. 😀
Thanks George! I loved the cartoon as a kid, but I don't think that Speed Racer aged well!
Good stuff Jerry
Thanks! Your comic is pretty solid, by the way!
Will Aunty build me a car? I can pay her in chocolate.
Maybe the "Q" is one-half of "IQ", ie., he's a half-wit.
I think Auntie Madge would build a car in exchange for chocolate… but only if you have high end chocolate like Godiva or Toblerone!… Auntie Madge isn't cheap… but I think Wombat cuteness might melt her heart.
I think you may be on to something with what the "Q" stands for!
I'll send her over a wagon-load of Toblerone. That should help
Done! One wombie race car coming up!
Bunny's going to be pissed if he ends up having to play 'Chim-Chim'!
I can\’t imagine what he would do if he were trapped in the trunk with Spritle for all of that time… He may end up tossing some of his personal byproducts at him!
Maybe Bunny Wiggins can steal the Mock 5! Haha… Gesundheit!
Steal the Mach 5? Why….no,,, would I have him do that?…Um… I gotta go,,,, *runs to drawing desk*
Cool comic. Really like the how you incorporated Speed Racer on this one.
Thanks!… and thanks for stopping by, Frank! Racer Boy will be playing an even bigger part as the story progresses.
I'm not sure thats the humane way to give a guy a vasectomy! o.O [winces]
True… but it would undoubtedly be effective!
