I mean, knowing TSF, those guys can get in plenty of trouble all by themselves. XD *Pops in* So, Lieutenant Awesome falls into water and can't swim? That would be weird. *Pops out* |

Yeah, I really like the idea of the damsel being the artist's own pet! It's neat, keeps the cast count manageable, is a good starting point for the action, and also allows for flexibility in the actual plot for the comic.
I'm almost done with my design for Joey. I couldn't exactly get his tiny, stout frame to radiate power (even when trying on a man's leotard...) but I think he's looking nice in a mask and gloves at least. I'll post his picture when I can get it finished.

*timidly pokes her head in*
Hi! You guys are awesome. 8DDD And I really need to stop stalking this thread because I like to be surprised by your comics.
I have a question, though. For my Issue 500 comic, I would love to have a bunch of background cameos of NT comic characters. Would you mind if I drew Team Squad Force somewhere in the background of my piece? I'll be sure to credit everyone at the end.
...And I'm sorry for interrupting your brainstorming. D:
As you were. *salute*

That would be weird. *Pops out* Actually, that's the one thing he can do. It's pretty much a default thing. =| Of course I'm down with the cameo! I am down with all cameos. I like the our-pet-as-the-damsel thing, too. Are we agreed? Is there anything else we need to do in regards to plot? I don't think we do... |

I've finished the design thingamajig! And I'm happy with the damsel plot idea we've got at the moment. Blindside Boy's got a sort of half-mask in the shape of a B. I wasn't sure if the mask would still work if he had different facial expressions so I drew a few faces to check if the mask would distort strangely. It seems okay. I just gotta be careful to position the eye first, then fit the mask around it, and not the other way around, but it's not too hard anyway. |

Is it possible that you guys can appear in my comic too? =D I'm trying to cram a lot of people in my comic, and it's not right without the Team Squad Force stars. XD

Yeah, I guess I'm alright with cameo appearances. It's a different sort of beast than a full story/comic based on them.
Also, Blindside Boy is super cute, Pacmanite! I love his little half-mask. XD
Yeah, I think we're all in agreement about the damsel-in-distress as one of the kidnapped members? Sounds good to me. Unless anyone has any objections, I think we might as well get started on the actual comics. XD Considering we've got about five weeks now.

Just so you guys are aware, I'm going on vacation from June 3 through the 9th... I'm actually planning on finishing the script and sketching before then to get your guys' approval and make sure I'm still on the right page, but during that time period I will be especially inactive around here. XD Also I don't think I ever posted Ems-I mean, the Petite Pulverizer's reference, so here it is: Also, time to update my friggin avatar. D| |

Hey, I never posted here yet, but I LOVE TSF and am looking forward to issue 500! I especially loved the whole "disrespect the Altador Cup" thing (that was you Abra wasn't it?). Hilarious!

I have the start of an idea, I think. Joey is captured by evil villain, and thinks he's being interrogated, but 'cause he's such a coward he's immediately like, "ILL TELL YOU EVERYTHING. *STARTS SPILLING AWKWARD PERSONAL DETAILS*"
edit:
I got it. My villain is... The Cinephile! And he tries to interrogate Joey by forcing him to watch a 1/2 star movie, but Joey is horrified because he's been strapped to a chair in the front row of the cinema-lair and if he watches the movie from there HE'LL GET A SORE NECK.
And there's more, but I need to type it into a coherent script.

Double post omg. Once I got this idea, I had to make it into a script quicksmart, or I'd lose all the passion for it.
THE VILLAIN = "The Cinephile", a movie-loving villain who wears 3-D glasses at all times and looks a bit like a Charlie Chaplin but more evulz. Haven't drawn him yet.
THE SCENE = A Moltaran-inspired movie theatre. Red stalactites hang darkly from above. The title of a poor quality movie is projected on the big screen (something along the lines of “It Came From Another Kreludor”, idk).
THE SCRIPT
#1.
Last time on Team Squad Force...
Alas! The dastardly Cinephile has taken hold of one of our heroes! What horrors await poor Blindside Boy in the Cinephile’s Theatre of Doom? And will he betray his friends?
Joey: (roped to a chair in the front row) I’LL TELL YOU EVERYTHING ABOUT THEM.
#2.
Cinephile: Quiet you. I haven’t said what horrors await you yet. In 15 minutes, a movie with a half star rating will commence and it will be awful.
Joey: *SOB* But- but- but I’ll get a sore neck in the front row! OH THE DISCOMFORT.
#3.
Joey: That’s it -that’s all I can take! Did you know... the Petite Pulveriser’s eyes gleam like embers in the setting sun?
Cinephile: Uhh...
Joey: ... after he’s eaten, the drool on Banana Bruiser’s chin shimmers like liquid crystals...
Cinephile: um, I don’t need to know this...
Joey: ... Lieutenant Awesome’s sheer awesomeness oozes out of every awesome pore in his awesome fishscaled fishface...
Cinephile: You really mean that? That sounds awesome...
#4. Five sentimental minutes later...
(The two are in tears and have slung an arm around each other’s shoulder. Joey is not bound to the chair any more.)
Joey: And then after the tandem bike race over the rainbow, Banana Bruiser said, “Hey Blindy, you rock so much and you’re so smart and better looking than us”.
Cinephile: They all sound so awesome. Especially Lieutenant Awesome. Man it must be good to be on a super team.
#5. (a mini-panel) (this is written as a sound-effect: DRAMATIC ENTRANCE! )
Joey: (looks around in alarm) *gasp* it must be...
#6.
(Dramatically, the three other Team Squad Force members enter the theatre holding popcorn and slushies. Action lines! Epicness!)
#7.
Cinephile: Team Squad Force?!! Omigosh, I’m finally meeting you! (Especially Lieutenant Awesome!!) Say, how about you drop Blindside Boy and recruit me instead?
Joey: BACK YOU FIEEEND
#8. (a series of three small panels, with Joey minorly injuring the Cinephile. *SMAK*, *miss* and then the final one is marked *STUBB* as Joey defeats the villain by stomping on his toe. Ouchie?)
#9.
(Cinephile is hopping away on one foot in the background)
Joey: Loyal friends, what a relief to finally see you with my own eye... after all that time you were searching tirelessly for me...
#10.
Emsohl: Uhhh... yeaaaahhhh. (Looks askance. As if they spent no time searching.)
Mad: Meh. Searching was boring. Then we needed refreshments...
Tombstones: Movie here in ten minutes!
#11.
Joey: (blank face) Y-you mean...?
Emsohl: (looking consoling) Yes.
#12.
Emsohl: TEAM SQUAD FORCE MOVIE NIGHT.
Joey: (all goo-goo-eyed) You guys are AWESOME.
#13.
Until next time, Team Squad Force Go!
(The four are watching the movie. It’s got poorly crafted spaceships and planets dangled on strings)
Joey: Not too far to the front, I get a sore neck and...
Mad: Quiet you.

AAAH, PACMANITE! First, love Blindside Boy (except the fact that I will most definitely screw up his mask at some point xD) and the script is great. You're definitely blowing up Mad's ego by a lot, though. We'll all have to deal with the consequences. =|
Abra, it's cool. I'm pretty much doing the same thing, as my lurkerism on this forum is becoming a bad habit. My goal for today is to think of a script- we'll see how it goes.
And yes to all cameos! For me, at least. I LOVE ME SOME CAMEOS
Saeryena...I think you're talking about mine from last year. I did this whole gag about them thinking "protect" was actually "disrespect". If that was it, thank you. =)

I figured that Mad's ego is already a lost cause, and Joey's inane flattery can't possibly swell it any larger than... oh who am I kidding. xD Joey's quite vain, probably not as much as Mad, but his flattery of his friends seems to blend perceptibly into his flattery of himself. And thanks so much for your feedback, Fish. I'm just at this stage where, immediately after I finish the script, I reread it and it seems horrifyingly unfunny. But I know this subjective feeling should pass as long as the script really is working ;D I might not have time to draw it in the next week or two, though, as I've got a stack of assessment for uni coming up, but after that I should be able to slot it in somewhere. And yeah, I think I forgot to mention it, but I'm open to all cameo appearances too.  |
