I'm not even going to get into the details of how much work myself and PoX put into this issue. Just know that it's over 3 times as long as the first comic, is loaded with clickable secrets, and (in my opinion) has a much better story and artwork than the first issue. Hope you guys like it!

Just out of curiosity, what's the purpose of the bar code being clickable? It just opened up a new page with an "#" added, and nothing being different.

Look closer at the cover after you click the barcode (unless your computer is screwed up, you'll notice quite a significant change, just like in PickleMan issue #1)

I like the Uber Razor on the cover, nice touch.

OMG I clickered teh barcode and... OMG :(

Funny comic, I like all the extra clickables and such ;)

I may just be missing it, but both pictures are from the same source, and I see no changes. Are you sure you didn't just make a little boo-boo?

You're the only person who it's not working for apparently. I've tested it thoroughly and had other people check it too. What browser/version are you using?

and please continue this conversation via PM or email... no need to clutter up this thread.

Not a problem. I figured out what I was doing wrong. I always open links in new windows, which is why it wasn't showing up for me.

So far, I'm loving this issue. The kid and mom made me LOL. ;)

Pretty funny comic. I like the cameo of the ninja turtles. By the way, is there going to be an issue about the origins of Pickleman?

I think the aquarium needs the 'Chilean Blob' in it though

Do I smell a "Revenge of Foetor" issue in the future? :)

"Well, we'd like to Pickleman, but in your struggle to protect our last standing petshop you two destroyed EVERY OTHER BUILDING IN THE GODDAMN CITY!!!"

"But the pet shop's safe, right?"

"Uh, yeah."

That has now taken place in my: 'Most awesomestest quotes EVAR!!!!!"

Jul 3rd, 2003, 06:48 AM

That kicked ass. I just wish I hadn't clicked the barcode :X

I "dig" the cheerful cynicism, and a nice supervillain was just what this comic needed.

Who wants to play Picklemon?

Spectre X

barcode *shudder*

Anyway, FS:

I DO!!! I DO!!! :love

Thanks for all of the compliments so far everybody. Glad to see you guys are enjoying it as much as we hoped you would. :) I'm really having a lot of fun working on these comic books... something very new and different for me

Soooo... who has already found all of the secrets in the comic? (there's roughly 6-7 secrets, barcode included). Some are pretty easy to find, others are a little less obvious.

I found them all. I cheated and used tab. :(

nice work there Rog.

Rev. Danno

Jul 3rd, 2003, 07:34 PM

Dude, That sucked!!! Wait..... No it didn't It rocked! I found all the secrets, I didn't use the tab bar. I think there needs to be cameos from the board... The City needs other super heros even if just in reference...
When do we find out about the origins of PM?
Did he just put on the Pickle hat, then *POOF*...
Was it a lab accedent?
Did he eat a radioactive pickle?
Or was he just born pickley?

We must know!

I think the Pickle suit was developed by the Nazi's in the late 30's by mad scientists, then stolen by a Canadian soldier, & passed down from generation to generation...
Again Rog, good work, I hated the Pickle man at first... But now I love him... Not in a gay way, more like a county jail sorta way...

Pickle Man is the secret identity of Roger Barr, a website owner. While searching through the internet, he found a pickle hat that he must have. He got help getting this pickle hat, but there was something done to his that wasn't done to anyone else's hat. They accidentally dropped his hat into a vat of radioactive pickle juice, but they sent it to him anyway. As soon as he puts on the hat, he turns into Pickle Man, and he thought about ditching this website anyway, but he kept it as a front to be a regular person. For he is not a regular person anymore, he is the server of justice, defender of the weak, and the person when the police are absent, Pickle Man. :(

I think there should be a villian like protoclown. :love
RoG... That was nothing less then brilliant. Good job. :picklehat

Cool. Thank you all, oh great Mockers. I shall sacrifice a goat in your honor tonight.

I'm also having fun doing this, it can get pretty tedious at times, but well-worth it. I just love drawing 80's cameos. I hope one day you can all buy a comic at your local shop with me as the artist :) And maybe Mock as a writer, or maybe Mock as THE writer... That would be cool....

Too cliche.

I think that all the preservatives in Gedney pickles are the source of his strenght.

Good comic, Mock. LONG LIVE FOETOR!

Helm

Jul 3rd, 2003, 11:20 PM

Okay this was very much better. I laughed out loud (OMG LOL) a few times, like in the underpants frame, and i don't do a lot of loling with comics so it was definately enjoyable.

The art got a million times better.

Thanks for the entertaining read. Eagerly awaiting for more.

Fuck you!!! You will never take me alive!!!

of course not, sacrificing you means killing you :rolleyes

Fine then. YOU WILL NEVER TAKE ME...umm...YEAH, NEVER!!!

Sacrificing you will be kinda tedious.
I'll find another goatish sacrifice.

:love Snorks!
BTW, where are his genitals? Is he wearing speedos in the tub or something?

Ninjavenom

Jul 4th, 2003, 05:53 PM

old comics rule involving genitalia. This was negated by drawing crotch shadows or putting naked characters in darkened rooms or cleverly placing objects in the room.

Helm

Jul 4th, 2003, 11:04 PM

...which rule in turn spawned the indie comics industry. Sole purpose of which is what has effectionately been dubbed the "indie penis". There's one in every alt comic.

Jeanette X

Jul 5th, 2003, 12:24 AM

So where is Pickleman's indie penis? You'd think that a comic that features an aborted baby as a supervillian wouldn't be squeamish about showing a penis.

Ninjavenom

Jul 5th, 2003, 01:37 AM

I'd be more squeamish about drawing said penis. Not because i'm disturbed by people's naughty places, but more that i would end up trying a little too hard to make it look right. :(

For instance: Would he have a pickle-wang? Would said pickle wang look like an elongated green sock? Would said wang be more-human like? Does pickle-man shave his manly-pickle crotch like a little girl? The possibilities are endless. :(

I haven't commented on this yet, so I'm getting around to it now.

Fucking brilliant, this one was MUCH better than the first one.

Hell, I've got a great idea for a villain myself. Perhaps I can write an issue? We'll discuss this later, Rog.

Mockery

Jul 6th, 2003, 11:14 AM

Wow, thanks for all the comments everybody. I'm really glad you all liked the new issue so much, even those of you that are usually much more picky about this kind of stuff. Very cool. I'm going to start working on the next script sometime in the near future... PoX and I are still gonna try to do one comic per month for a while. Eventually, we might compile all the comics into one big book and throw in an extra PickleMan comic that won't be available on the web. At least, that's what I'm hoping to do.

Only thing that sucks about printed comics is you can't throw in any "clickable secrets". They have yet to invent that "cliackable secret" technology for regular paper comic books :( Well anyway, I hope you guys were able to find all of the secrets.

And Proto, while I appreciate the offer, this is honestly something I just want myself and PoX to keep working on ourselves. Thanks anyway though. :)
