You already know what I love about this. Outside of the pretty inspired character design of Bad Apple, this fruits world and entourage just make for ridiculous hilarity. Nothing says bad apple like conspiring with a bad dog to bully a bull shark. The anime nods with the SHINGG on the slapping hand, and the trailing 'nooo' as we hit slappity paydirt are the deets I'm here for.
I think the only thing I'd nitpick over is letting your page and panels breathe. You got some great rancid expressions from Bad apple I wish I'd see more of a focus on and given their spot to shine. And the bulk of the action is side scrolly. Different angles and dramatic vantages for that slap especially I think would've helped. Panel wise, you got pretty small here, but the comic is a couple yearlies old, and you've come a long way since this, so my crits may be moot at this point.
I want a rematch and I want these two to be frenemies. F'real gurl.
I don't know how or why but I can never lose my place reading these comics. Its like the characters just intuit meaning and intent even though I can't hear their voice. This is the basic requirement for comedy and you never fail at it even if the joke was a little long this time around. Once I dared myself to do a small experiment, what if the panels around your comic were neatly shaped and how that would contrast with the chaotic art style. Unfortunately I don't have the visual results on me but it might be nice to attempt a clipping layer just to see how you can contain these vignettes of chaos and unbridled humor. Im so excited to see Bad APple back, the first actual goon I rooted for when I found Void !
I am HOWLING. OMG, funniest comic I've read yet. GUN thanks for this. Such a great addition to the site and I love that you gave us more context of what we did not see from Selby's intro. Bad Apple lives up to his name, setting up that poor Crunchulon. I read Selby's intro again and I even appreciate it more. Your art style, vibrant colors and spot on comedic timing is just...amazing! I had to read about Bad Apple's profile after this and this crew is such a riot. I really want to see more of them. I hope you keep making comics GUN, you've got a talent to brighten someone's day and make us smile :)
KASLAPPO!
I love the energy in your comics. You're ink and water colors are always a delight, bold blacks and vivid colors. It's nice getting more context for Selby, the Evian and all of their shenanigans. You're cartoony action is really great and I can't wait to see you push that further with future bad apple comics. same goes for your use of onomatopoeia/Sound effects in the comic. That's always been very very fun.
I am also a big softy and Just feel bad for Crunchulon so much. Poor slapped up baby. Bad Apple, why ya always gotta be so mean?

This is hysterical. I love Bad Apple's expressions. And the intestinal word balloons.
