Rant Title: Little Girl Sleepy

This comic was done at 11pm on Thursday night….this new post was written at 23:55 pm on Thursday night…that means it’s a short on.

As said in the comic Cedric © Rowie_me, One Piece Fanboy © Silver and Florence © Connie. These are the Snowmen from the forum contest http://forums.pebbleversion.com/viewtopic.php?t=2842 before New Year. This little bonus arch has two or three more comics before it ends, so if I manage to again make 2 comics a week, we will see the return of regular comics the week after.

For people who are clueless about One Piece (as I shamefully admit I am) you can read about it here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Piece

Have a good weekend!
Regards
Shauni

...Though wikipedia's dangerous because it's overloaded with spoilers. And you don't want to have One Piece spoiled.

Anyway, Yay for the One Piece fanboy snowman! It wins the universe. I'm assuming the, um... lack of verbs and incorrect tenses... in Silver-type Snowman's speech is intentional; aside from that the grammar seems to be fine... although 'shout' is mispelled in the last panel.
"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.

Good call on that last typo, and silvers talking is like that on purpose. I've also edited my rant

I don't have a ton of time at the moment but if you send me a e-mail with the new versions I'll replace the old ones when I get the chance.

Rant Title: Polka Dot underpants

Seeing your father in his underwear would be a traumatic experience for anyone…

If anyone can suggest a good psychologist for Mahri, please let her know.

As said previously, Cedric © Rowie_me, One Piece Fanboy © Silver and Florence © Connie. Florence is the snow lady with the major blush. I wouldn’t have thought snowmen could blush.

Also, Root beer is a beverage also known as Sarsparilla outside of North America. Root beer, comes in two forms: alcoholic and soft drink. The type that’s being drunk here is the soft drink. The soft drink version of root beer is non-alcoholic and is generally made using root beer extract or other flavoured syrups diluted into carbonated water.

A keg is a cylindrical container, usually constructed of aluminium, steel or wood. It is commonly used to store, transport, and serve beer.

On a final note, check out the gallery for some artwork.

Same time next week!

Shauni

Nothing wrong with an explanation but I think just about everyone already knows what root beer and kegs are. Or at least everyone from the US and Canada.

Interesting though... We also have sasparilla, but I`m pretty sure it`s nothing like root beer. Also, I don`t think I`ve ever seen alcoholic root beer or root beer in a keg.

Rant Title: Some more fandom references.

Since the snowman playing with Simeon’s face is a fan boy, I decided to have him talk like a stereotypical one.

A furry refers to furry fandom http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furry_fandom
Kawaii is simply the Japanese word meaning ‘cute’ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kawaii
OMG simply stands for ‘Oh my good’.

The last sound effect http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monocle is really just a homage to VG Cat’s Inuyasha comic http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=191
Enjoy your week, and see you Friday!

Regards
Shauni

Rant Title: Playing on Stereotypes, part two

Cedric the snowman looked so stereotypically English, I played on that stereotype. As an English person myself, this proved very amusing.

Earl Grey http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earl_Grey_tea is a popular tea in England, but I personally don’t have a great love of tea. I prefer hot chocolate and soft drinks.

Florence takes after her creator Connie. She just has to look at you a particular way and you just can’t seem to say no. LOL

Shauni-sama employed the same technique here http://www.pebbleversion.com/ROM/ROMArc ... ip235.html and Simeon openly admitted he couldn’t say ‘no’ to that face http://www.mangarevolution.com/_jpg/tut ... 69x174.jpg . Maybe Florence is a regular reader.


Enjoy your weekend!

Shauni

Rant Title: Blame Eternal Sonata

Sorry folks, but there isn't going to be a ROM comic. I started playing a new Xbox 360 game today and I didn't realise it had gone past 9.30pm before I got off it. I'll get to work on it on Friday, so you'll have a comic on Monday and Friday next week. Also of note is the fact they will be the LAST two of the season arch,

Back to story comics after next week.

Regards
Shauni

Rant Title: THANK THE LORD THAT’S OVER!

That’s it! Its done! This is the last ‘The Snowbird’ comic. Next week will take us back to regular comics, and maybe I can finally finish that chapter LOL. It seems I have trouble getting chapters done. The Snowbird was supposed to be 5 comics, not eleven lol.

We have fan art today of Opal by Silver. You can find it in the fan art section that is under the archives http://www.pebbleversion.com/ROM/ROMArc ... hives.html , or you can look at in on his Deviant Art website http://silver127.deviantart.com/art/Opal-sama-76299310 .

Specking of DA http://shauni-chan.deviantart.com/ , check out the gallery. There are new drawings.


Keep in touch!
