I remember I went back and forth for the longest time
about whether to feature some of the Knockoffs or give the spotlight comic to
some other obscure character but I made the choice to give it to the Champions
and I’m forever grateful that I did. Whereas a lot of these spotlight comics
fall into that middle spectrum, this is one that I knew would be fantastic from
the moment of inception. The script went through a couple changes but the idea
remained the same: The Champions really thought of themselves as
Knockora-Offina’s greatest heroes but when it came down to it they weren’t that
much more than children playing make believe. I wanted them to set up the story
with these grand backgrounds to enhance their delusions of grandeur, and I have
to pay myself on the back…I really think the pictures I used worked so
perfectly for what was going on. Again, for someone with my ridiculously
remedial photoshopping abilities, a comic that turned out like this was
something to be celebrated. To enhance the pictures I sent them through posterize effect on a photo editing program
to make the cut-and-pasted pictures and background really mesh, and I think it
really added to the story. I was extremely excited to use Shortround’s
fan-created ‘toilet mode’. I’d place this very high on my list of favorite
comics.
