Let me preface this by saying that a LOT of running stories in comics are built up on a small handful of repeating core ideas. THIS comic is no different. “Dee has creative block.”, “Dee is anxious about using public restrooms.”, “Look, it’s something about boobs.”, etc.
Conan doesn’t like wizards or snake people. He hits on serving wenches. He gets in bar brawls. Garfield hates Monday and spiders. He loves lasagna. Etc.
This strip grew out of a conversation between Sabrina and me about the new CONAN comic from writer Jim Zub and artist Rob De La Torre and how good it is so far. And as we talked, I mentioned the standard story tropes and compared it to Garfield. Sabrina laughed and as a result, all these jokes and more all came out in conversation and I had to write them down to draw.
Let’s just say that Rob De La Torre channels the great John Buscema WAY better than my attempt here, but it was REALLY fun to try. lol
I love the heck out of the Dark Mercury arc. It’s such an exciting take on the character for me and such a good example of someone’s worst qualities nurtured and brought to the forefront.
