PSA #3
I liked the idea of doing one that briefly acknowledges the necessity of mountains of gear, since this is normally a world where our bands can pull instruments out of thin air and have musical showdowns at a moment’s notice. And don’t worry — Honey didn’t let them die.
In other news, my pal Sarah has been doing these pixel versions of Band Vs. Band characters that make me just die that I can’t play them as some charming, unforgiving NES game right now. This week she added this cute l’il Honey Hart walking sprite:
..and a BOSS BATTLE! (click for big)

Wouldn’t it be great if the Sourballs had a slacker roadie? Or maybe some useless hipster? Wait, no I want to be their roadie, pick me! I promise not to be any good.
Hey,Honey has freckles, that’s new.
Heh, they can’t afford a roadie — look at the crummy state of their gear! They’re just lucky that Foxy is weirdly strong.
Honey doesn’t have freckles…she has dots drawn under her eyes with makeup in this one, which must have seemed like a good idea to her. It did kinda make me think that maybe I should’ve designed her with freckles from the beginning, tho.
Bands I’ve known have had a friend or a fan as a roadie, they work for free entrance to the show,and a few drinks.
I just noticed that the time is wonky on the comments, unless you are currently in London or Reykjavik.
Oh hey, yeah — 7:04 AM?! I guess I never bothered to change that. I changed it to my own time zone just now, but I suppose it’ll always be wrong for the majority of people no matter where it is. Oh well.
Also, yeah, that’s true that local bands can get friends and etc to do this stuff at a show for non-money compensation…and we’ve seen that these guys do have a rotating cast of miscellaneous people that like to hang around and drink with them. That’s actually…that could have funny results, and I’m filing it away in my brain.
oooh yeah, Turpentine is just itching’ to start something with Honey…
Sparks will fly, I’m thinking. And not the good kind.
This is /priceless/… and after she just gave a little lecture on electrical saftey too. XD
Also, the solution is DUCT TAPE. :3
As for freckles, maybe have her mention offhandedly that she’s started getting them because she’s forgotten to put sunscreen on lately? I know I develop more if I don’t use lots of sunscreen.
honey hart looooooooooves sunscreen!
It’s true! She’d never forget!
Also, yes — I can imagine them wrapping like an entire roll of duct tape along that horrible cord until it’s unrecognizable.
Fun fact: the first guitar I owned was crappy and cheap (because, y’know, a junior high kid’s options are limited) and when I took it in for an unrelated repair, they found that it wasn’t electrically grounded! Jeez, imagine that was how I died.
I imagine she does like sunscreen if it makes Turpentine stare like that. ;p
My friend is of the opinion that there’s *no way* she doesn’t know exactly what she’s doing in that beach one, and that she’s intentionally being provocative. I…kinda don’t think so!
ps: new comic sooooon!
