Adventures in Ninja cookery (discontinued)

[jim_doki]

well, you go away from one weekend, and on monday you learn about the awesome returning. well done again, and in a rather humourous anicdote, i only ever pictured Ultrajoe as a man in a helmet, like in a business suit. he looks much better this way

 

[ElephantGuts]

On another note entirely, I refuse to request a cameo.

I understand how difficult pet projects like this are, and I don't consider myself valuable enough to merit one.

Yeah, that's the kind of person I am.

Apologies Abound

I also refuse to be the person jumping in yelling "Ooh, do me, do me!", for mostly the same reasons. Well, I do consider myself valuable enough to be in the comic, if only because of my love of all things navy-related just about gives me a preset role in the story, but I don't want to bother FeNinja with more things to be including, after all he's only done Ultrajoe so far.

I can't wait to see myself in the comics, though. And, Iron Ninja, I don't want to make any real suggestions about what to do with me but, of course, it would be silly to have me as anything other than some sort of admiral, naval captain, or something else to that extent. As for what I look like, doesn't matter, though you should note that my hair is black and to portray my hair in any other color may well be considered blasphemy.

This would be the internal struggle I mentioned before. I eventually gave in to my baser self though; I'd regret not being part of this.

 

[GenHellspawn]

Whether you want it or not, I'm eventually going to get around to including all the major RP fellows.

You built me up just to tear me down, didn't you?

Not exactly sure how, but it appears I did.

The last time I was in an RP was probably in March

 

[Galletea]

Also underneath the masks Iron Ninja also has a handlebar.

That statement alone makes you awesome.
I still think your font size doesn't quite fit the comic but other than that it was rather excellent.

 

[SecretTacoNinja]

Just throwing it out there but, how about sticking another food-orientated Ninja in there? ;D

 

[dekkarax]

That being said, I'm kinda curious how, and if, I'll be portrayed in the comic. But, no hurry, I'm not going anywhere... Or am I?

maybe you'll be a transformer...

An Escapicon (no, not that kind of Escapicon) perhaps?


anyway, I have one question for you your ferrousnous. Why does Gerald only have six legs when regular crabs have eight?

 

[Johnn Johnston]

I'm seriously annoyed that I started reading this comic, notice the reference to 'Travis Bickle' and realise it has been noticed by others about twenty times in the last six pages. Oh well. There will be other opportunities for glory in the future.

And, away!
*Johnn rides off into the sunset, his work done. Will he return? Nobody knows. But he probably will.*

 

[TheGhostOfSin]

Why does Gerald only have six legs when regular crabs have eight?

Because he is Gerald...

Apologes for the delayed response, but I need to sleep every now and again, too. As it was, I went to bed at five, and just got around to turning on the computer. Here's a reply to all your replies to my act of selflessness.

Damn. I hate being the littler man.

Stings, doesn't it?

Whether you want it or not, I'm eventually going to get around to including all the major RP fellows.

Anyone disheartened by the prospect of not being a cameo should note that all it means at this point is that you're not Ultrajoe.

I didn't mean to say I don't want a cameo, just that I wasn't going to specifically ask for one. I think it would be rude, myself.

On another note, I have a couple of ideas for comics (since you asked) and will P.M. them to you shortly.

I also refuse to be the person jumping in yelling "Ooh, do me, do me!", for mostly the same reasons.

I'm glad you understand what I was trying to do.

I understand. I wouldn't complain if I had a cameo, it's just I don't think it's a good idea to ask for one.

Again, apologies for the delayed response. I was busy sleeping.

 

[Ultrajoe]

Are we allowed to harshly criticize it, or must we all do this "oh you're so talented" and "thank you for sharing" bullshit?

Fire away.

But i am honor bound to respond with brutal and Ultra force. There may be no survivors.

The character dialogue seems to be picked on the spate of ludicrous randomness. The form itself is different from the randomness of, say, Monty Python, by the clever and well done set-up and the contrast between the expected result and the actual result being the thing thats so funny. The Ludicrous randomness can't get that, because theres simply no build up, no active expected result - w know something random is going to happen, and so its not as funny because its not unexpected.

A practical example we all know - the Lumberjack song. When he begins, its the epitomy of manliness, but as it goes by, he says that he's a crossdresser, but says it with that same kind of pride. But as we were expecting on a number of levels for this to be one of those old timey-musical interludes, the confession came out of nowhere. Here we have a man dressed like a Ninja with a crab on his shoulder - we already know its random, so more random isn't going to be funny.

You can't really compare an amateur webcomic made in paint to monty python.

(no offence Rusty Ninja)

Actually, I think it's valid criticism, and something I briefly touched on to FeNinja in PMs. It's alright for a joke to have some build to it, and while that wasn't present during the first two comics, the third did a good job of it. I think the visual joke, especially, is very well done. Although it wouldn't hurt to have a stronger build-up, it's there. Regardless, 33% is a bad-ish number all things considered.

MAY THE FIRE THAT MADE THE ANGELS WEEP SET A CRUSADE OF DAMNATION UPON YOUR HEATHEN FLESH!!

I agree to an extent, but i think he was aiming for novelty rather than high humor. If you do have any ideas for comics involving high humor, send them to him.
