Programmed Sentience

R.O.B. the NES Robot was initially an additional accessory for the NES specially designed for Gyromite and Stack-Up, and was therefore not sentient. However, all of that changed with the release of Mario Kart DS in 2005. Nintendo had to reprogram it to have sentience in order to make it a playable character in that handheld racing game. The sentience R.O.B. was programmed with carried on into the Super Smash Bros series starting with Super Smash Bros Brawl. Not bad for a robotic accessory that was specially designed for playing two NES games.

A Ghost Town Named Neo Tiew

If there was any part of Singapore that carries the title of "ghost town", it has to be Neo Tiew Estate. The entire area was en-bloc in 2002, with the residents moved to Jurong West. Since then, the estate is currently used by the Singapore Armed Forces for FIBUA (Fighting in Built-Up Areas) training.

Opinions on Sukumizu Inklings

I'm very sure the female Inklings from the Splatoon series would love to wear the school swimsuit worn by Ushio Kofune from Summer Time Rendering. The biggest problem, however, is that the Inklings are severely hydrophobic. This explains why you don't get to see Inklings in swimwear outside of Splatoon fan art.

Sukumizu Daioh Rendering

Go figure that the sukumizu school swimsuits from Azumanga Daioh and Summer Time Rendering bear strong resemblances to conventional one-piece swimsuits unlike the average Anime sukumizu school swimsuit.

Taegeuk Amulet

Remember that comic where Ash Ketchum's original nemesis Gary Oak was stabbed by fascist and communist bayonets? What if it turns out that Gary Oak's Taegeuk amulet was originally supposed to be red and blue? If that is true, then it's possible that the Pokemon TV series production team could have changed it to yellow and green to avoid getting into trouble with South Korea.

Lack of Sentience

If there was any reason Jenova made zero appearances in Wooden Plank Studios (including Patreon-exclusive bonus panels) by the time that webcomic had its final curtain call on 9 July 2024, it would have to be Jenova having no sentience whatsoever, unlike Kirby, Mystique, Master Hand, Crazy Hand, Polygon Man, Dr Wily's Robot Masters, Ultimecia, Kuja, the Chimera aliens from Sony's Resistance series, Tabuu and Galeem.

Suited For The Ice Buckets

Can we all agree that one-piece swimsuits are better than two-piece swimsuits when it comes to the Ice Bucket Challenge?

Mario And Italian Cuisine

Not only does Mario like spaghetti, he also likes lasagna and risotto as well. It's just that lasagna and risotto will never overtake Mario's love for spaghetti.

Unsuitable for Navy Service

Author's Note: All copyrights for the images in this comic go to their respective owners.

There are some characters who should keep their distance away from serving in the Navy. Here are some characters who I think should have no part in anyone's navy at all.

Aqua from Konosuba is irresponsible, easily distracted and whines a lot despite being a goddess.

Doremi Harukaze is notoriously clumsy and has often had a lot of mishaps.

Wile E Coyote is a failure in many ways possible. That's why he gets rejected. Nuff said.

Dan Hibiki is far too incompetent for the Navy, that's for sure.

Bubsy would end up making terrible decisions. What could possibly go wrong for Bubsy if he was in the Navy? If Bubsy was in a naval battle, he would be fish food.

Awesome Possum's environmentalist messages will only be greeted with enemy fire if he was in a naval battle.

Captain Bad Advice's name says it all. Nothing more, nothing less.

With all that said, if you were a recruiter, you would have told these navy recruit wannabes that they are unqualified for the Navy.

RuneScape Father's Day Gifts

Today is Father's Day, which means it's that time of the year where people honor their fathers. What better way to honor this special day than with a comic about Father's Day gifts?

If RuneScape players could give Father's Day gifts to their fathers, amulets of strength, anti-dragon shields and silver bolts would have been among those items.

1955 Le Mans Tragedy 70 Years On

Author's Note: This comic pays homage to the cover of the September 1955 issue of the Road & Track motoring magazine, with the 1955 Le Mans Tragedy being the main feature in that particular issue. The Mercedes-Benz logo on the red arrow symbolizes Pierre Levegh's Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR, while the 84 coffins on the blue stripe represents the 84 people who died in the 1955 Le Mans Tragedy, including Pierre Levegh.

It's been 70 years since the worst automobile accident in history. The 1955 Le Mans Tragedy claimed the lives of Pierre Levegh and 83 spectators. As a result, circuit racing was prohibited in Switzerland until 2022, while Mercedes-Benz went into self-imposed exile from Formula 1 until 2010. The most depressing part is that this tragedy was never even turned into a "Seconds from Disaster" episode. If it was, it would have given motoring accidents more attention.

Shellfish Rejection

If the seafood consumption guidelines in Leviticus 11:9-12 and Deuteronomy 14:9-10 were any indication, we should not be eating shrimps and lobsters at all because God knew about the potential health risks that come from shellfish consumption.

Allergic To Justice

Author's Note: Turquoise is taking over from Red Cap for my lawyer-friendly "Change My Mind" meme comics for now. Also, she has a glass of apple juice next to her.

Ever wondered why justice rarely prevails in Anime? Do you want to know why some of the biggest copyright holders in Japan such as Nintendo, Square Enix, Sony and Toei to name a few have a disdain for fair use and fair dealing? That's because Japan believes that hierarchy, conformity and collectivism are more important than justice. That's why Japan has a major bullying problem, which could explain why Gary Oak often humiliates Ash Ketchum in the Pokemon TV series. This could also explain why Nintendo is so mean towards Waluigi just because he is considered an outsider by both the Mario series and the Wario series. Not to mention Japan prefers civil law over common law. Under civil law, suspects are guilty until proven innocent. Under common law, suspects are innocent until proven guilty. That's why fair use is being falsely accused of violating copyright regulations.

Despite all the positives that would have made the Anglosphere nation states the most benevolent of all the imperialist nations, Japanese Society rarely thinks positively about what the Anglo-Saxon nations did for them. In fact, Japan thinks negatively about Brexit because Brexit was always about Britain quitting the European Union and its secret plans to revive the Roman Empire, which will become one of Japan's trading partners during the time of the end right before Jesus Christ returns. For all we know, the author of Code Geass was inspired by the cruelty of Pax Britannica.

TL;DR, Japan is indeed allergic to the virtues of the Anglosphere.

Wearing It Better

Character costumes worn by my OC Turquoise in this comic, from left to right: Cal (Ripple Island), Roomi (Galaxy Fight), Shonen Captain Magazine Female Link (The Legend of Zelda), Mother Fairy (Pac-Land).

Author's Note: My apologies for Turquoise lacking pointy ears for the Roomi and Female Link costumes. At least her Mother Fairy costume has the fairy wings. By the way, this comic was inspired by the "Who Wore It Better?" meme.

Cal is the deuteragonist of the Famicom game Ripple Island, while Roomi is one of the female characters from the Neo Geo fighting game Galaxy Fight: Universal Warriors.

Illustrations of female Link exist. They were found in a Shonen Captain magazine article about The Legend of Zelda in 1986.

Returning a lost fairy to the Mother Fairy is Pac-Man's main objective before returning home to his family in the Pac-Land arcade game.

Do you think Turquoise wore it better when she is dressed up as any of these characters?

Demanding Justice For Outsiders

Forget the Nintendo Switch 2 launch party. Justice for Ash Ketchum and Satoshi Tajiri is far more important. Even if Gary Oak and Ritchie getting sentenced to death would be considered grave insults to Shigeru Miyamoto and the late Hiroshi Yamauchi respectively, just remember how Nintendo mistreated outsiders such as Waluigi. By Nintendo standards, Ash Ketchum and his namesake Satoshi Tajiri are outsiders, and they have been mistreated by Nintendo.

A Better Alternative to going Pantsless or Skirtless

If my webcomic's female OCs do wish to go pantsless and/or skirtless, they can always wear a buruma because the buruma is outerwear that looks like panties, meaning the girls can go pantsless and/or skirtless without having to expose their panties.

By the way, the female gym attire that includes a buruma in this comic is from Inuyasha, where Kagome was seen wearing that gym attire during physical education sessions.

Thinking of other things other than other ladies 2

Another comic about my OCs in a lawyer-friendly version of the "Thinking about other women" meme? Looks like this comic could become a new Internet meme.

Bad news, folks. The tariff wars will be nothing compared to the debt bombs America and China are sitting on right now. If these debt bombs explode, it will cause a downturn that's far worse than the Great Depression, and it will ultimately lead to World War 3...

For those wondering what a xenophyophore is, it is an undersea amoeba that can grow up to eight inches in diameter. It's possible Kirby is a pink xenophyophore because official Nintendo sources confirm that Kirby's diameter is eight inches.

Risotto was always a great alternative to pasta and pizza for Italian Restaurants. Nuff said.

Anime was possibly the real reason striped bikinis are so popular in Japan. Change my mind.

Contrary to popular belief, the final battle between good and evil that threatens to end the world as we know it will not take place at Armageddon, but rather, that epic final battle will take place near Jerusalem, or more accurately, near what remains of Jerusalem.

The L6/40 is an Italian World War 2 light tank that is known for being weak in that particular conflict. Therefore, it would be better off being demolished in the Street Fighter 2 car breaker bonus stage.

PSG WINS!!!!!

Congratulations to Paris Saint-Germain on winning their very first Champions League title and becoming the second French soccer club since Olympique Marseille's victory over AC Milan in 1993 to win the Champions League.
