Heroes and Heroines against Autocracy 2

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

Remember the previous comic about various heroes and heroines who would rise up to take down an alliance between fascism and communism? Here is another set of heroes and heroines that would oppose an alliance between fascism and communism.

Would Spelunker, Dirk The Daring, Shovel Knight, Peppino Spaghetti, Ty The Tasmanian Tiger, Yuko Asou and Roche go into hyper-rage mode if they were to oppose an alliance between fascism and communism? Yes, they will. And anyone who dares to oppose these heroes and heroines are only begging for death, especially when Peppino going into hyper-rage mode is the last thing villains want to have coming at them...

Three Red Buzzers, You're Out!

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

There are many participants who got three red buzzers in The X Factor, and these characters are no exception. But there are real reasons these characters deserve to get three red buzzers.

Squidward has virtually no talent in regards to his clarinet skills. In fact, his clarinet music is so horrible that it would drive deaf people crazy.

Bubsy's catchphrase of "What Could Possibly Go Wrong?" is the very definition of self-fulfilling prophecy. Defeatism at its very worst, and it doesn't help that anything will go wrong even if it's not in the first place...

Awesome Possum is not so awesome because environmentalism has failed those who have sought to rein in environmental degradation. Even Bubsy could win against Awesome Possum, if given the chance...

Glass Joe is pathetic. He is definitely France's biggest disgrace. Even Dan Hibiki, who is considered the most pathetic character in the history of the Street Fighter series, would easily defeat this loser.

Spelunker is the weakest action hero in the history of video games because falling several pixels of height is more than enough to make Spelunker lose a life. At least he does not have to fall into Black Holes unlike Wynn from Mystery of Atlantis, who clearly does not die from falling several pixels of height. Unfortunately, Mystery of Atlantis does not even have any map to help Wynn avoid the Black Holes, and the game has no passwords or continues.

With all that said, some people are better off not showing up for the X Factor at all...

Toast To 2025

Characters toasting to 2025 by holding up glasses of redcurrant juice: Rit (Rod Land, Soldam), Tam (Rod Land, Soldam), Spelunker (Spelunker), Wynn (Mystery of Atlantis), Lemming (Lemmings), Sakura Kinomoto (Cardcaptor Sakura), Yona (Yona Of The Dawn), Cayna (In the Land of Leadale).

2024 turned out to be yet another turbulent year. Assassination attempts on the rightful President of the United States, the leftist meltdown that followed when he won the Presidential Elections, the ongoing copyright lawfare against so-called acts of intellectual property theft, and the continuous attacks against free speech. On the positive side, however, prominent tyrants and terrorists who hate Israel have either perished in helicopter crashes or were assassinated by the Israeli Defence Forces through various means. Who knows what 2025 will bring? Maybe the tyrant who knows dark sentences will rise? And when he does, is there anyone brave and bold enough to confront him when he carries out his nefarious plans for world domination?

United By Epic Handshakes

People doing the Epic Handshake from Predator (1987), from left to right: Spelunker (Spelunker) and Wynn (Mystery of Atlantis), Lucia (Wing of Madoola) and Yuko (Valis), Ptolemy (The Fairyland Story) and Ripple (Magical Chase), Megumin (Konosuba) and Atsuko (Little Witch Academia).

Author's Note: This comic is dedicated to the memory of Carl Weathers, who passed away earlier this year. He will be best remembered for his role as Dillon from the 1987 movie Predator, in which Dillon and Arnold Schwarzenegger's character Dutch invented the Epic Handshake meme years before the World Wide Web went mainstream.

In order to stand up against the coming darkness, we all need to do the Epic Handshake to stand united. This is important because the turmoil of the last days will be way worse than the turmoil from the past 120 years that has come and gone.

Bubsy Gets Kicked

People kicking Bubsy, from left to right: Rit (Rod Land, Soldam), Suchie-Pai (Suchie-Pai), Yuko Asou (Valis), Volcana (Ultra Vortek), Spelunker (Spelunker), Wynn (Mystery of Atlantis).

It's sad that Bubsy's creator Michael Berlyn is dead. Bubsy's existence was a mistake, and it doesn't help that Atari now owns Bubsy. Talk about a miserable existence...

At least Atari would be kind enough to let anyone kick Bubsy as long as Fair Use allows it.

Kick The Ijiwaru 3

Characters kicking Waluigi's rear, from left to right: Wynn (Mystery of Atlantis), Spelunker (Spelunker), Fei Long (Super Street Fighter 2), Ryo Sakazaki (The King of Fighters), Ax Battler (Golden Axe).

Yet another comic about people kicking Waluigi's rear? Looks like Waluigi must have been so unlikeable that people had to kick him hard. Especially when "weak" characters such as Wynn and Spelunker are giving Waluigi the boot.

Famicom 40th Anniversary Tribute

Today marks the 40th Anniversary of Nintendo's Family Computer, better known as the Famicom, the original Japanese version of the Nintendo Entertainment System. Who would have thought that 40 years after launching in 1983, the Famicom's legacy is still making a huge impact to this day? If Masayuki Uemura was still alive today, he would definitely be impressed by the legacy of the Famicom's cultural impact for sure.

On a related note, Spelunker, which also turns 40 this year, only had its popularity skyrocket when its Famicom port was released in 1985, and later released on the NES two years later. That's why Spelunker (as he appeared in the Famicom/NES version) is featured alongside both the original 1983 design Famicom and the 1993 redesign Famicom.

Happy 40th Anniversary, Famicom! You transformed Nintendo into the major icon of Japanese pop culture we know today!

Sports Bra Swim Top Colors 2

Another comic about sports bra swim top color designs? Well, here's more of them, including one that looks like the Canadian flag, as well as more video game-related content, including NES Spelunker.

Video Game Television

Credits to Norwegian RuneScape YouTuber Will Miss It for the idea for this comic.

If only there were better television shows based on video games, then only we would stop taking our TV shows for granted, including TV shows based on video games.

Here are some good TV shows based on video games that do not exist but we wished they existed:

Breaking Bubsy

Based on: Breaking Bad

Bubsy struggles to survive in a society that totally dislikes him while everyone makes his life miserable.

Everybody Hates Bubsy

Based on: Everybody Hates Chris

Similar to Breaking Bubsy, but with people who dislike Bubsy out to get him dead.

Kusoge Kombat

Based on: The Mortal Kombat cartoon

Kusoge game characters such as Wynn from Mystery of Atlantis, Gonbe and Tago from Ikki, and Spelunker, fight to the bitter end against each other for their personal survival.

So You Think You Can Fight

Based on: So You Think You Can Dance

Basically a combat-themed version of So You Think You Can Dance. Contestants have to beat up various objects such as a sandbag.

The Kloffice

Based on: The Office

Let's face it. The Kloffice will be the closest thing Klonoa will ever have to having a white-collar job, and Isabelle from Animal Crossing could just be one of his co-workers.

Last Noob Standing

Based on: Last Man Standing

The weakest characters in video game history battle each other to the death. In this case, Dan Hibiki from Street Fighter emerged victorious with Bubsy and a RuneScape Noob laying dead on the floor. Enjoy your moment of victory while you can, Dan Hibiki. You will still be considered very low in the Street Fighter character rankings list.

Whose Ability Is It Anyway

Based on: Whose Line Is It Anyway

Whose Line Is It Anyway features multiple different games performed by the performers. One of the games performed by the performers is Foreign Film Dub. In video games, cutscenes are basically the equivalent of film, which is why Foreign Cutscene Dub is one of the games performed in Whose Ability Is It Anyway.

Lemmings Invasion

Based on: Rabbids Invasion

While Rabbids Invasion revolves around the Rabbids coming to our society, Lemmings Invasion revolves around the Lemmings coming to our society. At least the Lemmings will be better than the Rabbids, assuming the Lemmings do not self-destruct...

Mii Vs Food

Based on: Man Vs Food

A Mii wearing a chef hat arms himself with a kitchen knife to slice his way through various food-based enemies, including Mr Hot Dog, Mr Egg and Mr Pickle from BurgerTime.

The Browser Wars

This show is all about Internet web browsers fighting a long war against each other. The various browsers warring against each other include Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome.

Super Smash Bros Supercade Smackdown

Based on: Saturday Supercade

Remember Saturday Supercade? Well, imagine if Super Smash Bros had a TV series, it would aim to relive the glory days of Saturday Supercade. This is a show we would definitely watch.

Please be mindful that this comic was designed before Microsoft announced the end of support for Internet Explorer.

The Cliff

Remember, if you want to live, do not fall off cliffs.

Blocker Lemmings force other Lemmings to change directions when there are no walls at the end of whichever direction they are going.

Goombas from Super Mario Bros always walk blindly from one end to another, even into bottomless pits. Like the Lemmings, they only change direction when they run into obstacles.

Some of Dirk the Daring's death animations from Dragon's Lair involve him falling to his doom.

One of the reasons Spelunker is portrayed as the weakest action hero in the history of video games is that he can only fall a certain height, and any height higher than that will mean instant death.

Missing, But Actually Deceased

The premise of Spelunker World/Spelunker Party revolves around Spelunker going in search of his missing father. Eventually, at the end of level 4-25, if certain requirements are met, it was later revealed that the reason Spelunker's father disappeared was that he was deceased all along, having lost his life protecting a faerie child.

While closing cold cases is not what the comic's author specializes in, it's good that cold cases involving missing parents get any form of closure. Now all we need is the real reason why Ash Ketchum's father and grandfather disappeared, and we can all either go back to our lives or prepare for the coming dark times that are fast approaching.

Long Queue

Characters featured from left to right: Hebereke, Spelunker, Kanna, Ripple, Peter Pepper, Tam, Rit, Gonbe.

Judging by Hebereke's thought bubble, the queue to buy tickets to watch Smash Bros duels would be a long queue because in order for video game characters to buy tickets, the ticket seller would have to identify whether the customer is wearing an appropriate attire before the customer can buy a ticket. This could explain why Mai Shiranui was missing from Super Smash Bros Ultimate's King of Fighters Stadium's cameo characters list, given that her exposed cleavage would displease CERO, the ESRB, and PEGI.

You can see that Rit is buying two tickets, one for her and one for Tam, as they both come from Jaleco's Rod Land.

Being seventh in line in the queue isn't so bad, but when one is being analyzed for anything inappropriate or unacceptable, which none of the characters queuing for tickets have, expect the ticket seller to do a thorough search on the customer to find anything inappropriate or unacceptable, and it will cause delays in what would be an otherwise normal queue for tickets. This method of searching for anything inappropriate or unacceptable ended up barring Mai Shiranui from buying a ticket to watch any Smash Bros duels.

On a side note, congratulations to Byleth on qualifying for Super Smash Bros Ultimate's final Fighters Pass slot, even if reception was as bland as that towards Piranha Plant.
