Brawl Beyond the Stratosphere...

... in the Archives


Captain Carrot and His Amazing Zoo Crew
had a very interesting history.

It began as a free Super​man story in the then-popular New Tee​n Titans in 1982; the titular Man of Steel finds himself propelled and trapped in a bizarre cartoon-like reality populated by anthropomorphised animals.   After determining it is in fact the giant s...

It's just easier to keep a tally that way.   But I'll start this next week, since things got a bit messed up given the whole payment thing.

Thank you for waiting.

So This Happened...

... that is to say, my payment processor decided to freeze my account for reasons unknown so I've not actually received any funds from last month.   I've made contact with them so I can only await their response, which will probably happen next week.

Rest assured, this is not on Patreon's part, so you won't be double-charged or anything like that.  But this means that content will be slightly delayed until this gets resolved.  So, wish me luck.  Ugh, w...

Welcome to 2024!

Thank you for supporting me.

Did you know that in the Chinese zodiac, 2024 now officially the year of the dragon?

Gonna be a bit quiet this week as I work on producing this month's content so please look forward to the results over the course of the month.

Will update the comics, will do the Beast World images, dispense the keys and that in due course.  Look out for the messages/posts when they occur.

This will be my last month being active on here though as I'm ...

If You've Supported Me And Are About to Bow Out...

Thank you for  supporting me for as long as you have done.

As I highlighted in the beginning of December, many a financial burden means it's not always possible to support Content Creators full-time for multiple months.  Or you've had your fill and want to move on.   Or I just d...

One Benched Birdman

I dunno why a major side-character got sidelined in the sequel but okay, bowmaker he is. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Enjoy; I did this because I was bored.  But I think this'll be the last I draw from that game.

Poking Around Pt 165

Thank you for enabling to produce this comic throughout 2023.  Look forward to more next year!

Can you tell that by the time I drew this, I'd already seen Netfl​ix One Piece and quite liked it?  😅

Something To Do Next Year...

Why?  Since the major rebrand in October, a lot of the original articles I linked to now end in this:

The Plan

"We pretend to be one of those do-gooders and see what we can find out about the Zonai from the Ring Ruins here; that lummox Link always has the advantage over us.  It's a shame our spy couldn't acquire a more fitting disguise but the night shall cloak us."

This was a silly idea I had; this doesn't actually happen in the game.  

Anyway, enjoy this Christmas gift, even if i...

Keen-rin

This is interesting, as this creature is the most obvious in terms of finding out what inspired it.

The Qilin 麒麟 (pronounced chî-LIN) is a sort of Chinese unicorn, from ancient Chinese texts pre-dating Chris​t in the Western calendar.  Said to only appear during times of great significance, the elusive and deity-like Qilin came to represent wisdom, righteousness and nobility and is oftent...

Could You Lend a Hand?

Again, it was really thanks to this video I had any bearing on what a Ku​lu-Ya-Ku was.

A slightly shortened English name from the Japanese name クルルヤック Kururu-Yakku, I have no idea what the nomenclature here means.   Resembling something between a dodo and velociraptor, Kul​u-Ya-Kus use their large ‘hands’ to pilfer other Monsters’ eggs, or pick up boulders to attak...

He is Boared

And wants you to do something about it.

Anyway, Bulldromes are the mature form of Bullfangos, boar-like creatures that have been a staple of Monster Hunter since the 2nd entry.  Unlike their predecessors whose English name is the same as their Japanese counterparts, Bulldromes were originally called Dosufango ドスファンゴ, dosu ドス having multiple meanings:
