#149
I took a few weeks off from the comic so I could get moved
into my house, but I remember all I really wanted to do was get my table moved
in so I could take more pictures! I had the next handful of scripts done and I
was excited for what was to come because it was one of those instances the
ideas started flowing freely and everything just clicked together so well.
I was still getting used to the different light sources in
my new house so there’s a few pictures in this comic that are pretty washed out
from the flash. It’s disappointing but everything has a learning curve I
suppose.
I’d had the insect knockoffs, “The Ungas”, for some
time…half of them for years in fact…and before I had decided to move out of my
apartment I had wanted them to be the next group to come out of the blue hole
and terrorize the Autobots and Decepticons in their home dimension. Since plans
changed, I decided it was fitting to use them as the first natives the
Transformers come in contact with in the new dimension. I gave them the
personalities of Cro-Magnon cavemen for one real purpose, which we’ll talk
about in the commentary for the next strip. I wanted to set them apart so I
used a different font I enjoyed them so
much I’ve used them several times since this initial appearance, and although
they all appeared very one-dimensional and static I’ve given them their own
personalities over the years. I haven’t been able to display those
personalities in the actual comic per se, but I have fleshed them out via
Character Profile Biographies, which I started a couple weeks after these first
comics in the new house.
