This one came about as a parody of DC and Marvel comics, and because we had a particularly bad week with the “gremlins”, those creatures who muck with the Pop Candy servers, deleting comments, freezing screens, etc. For the past two years, DC had published a huge story including all of their characters, and they loved to use “crisis” in their epic titles. Marvel had done something similar, but used “War” in their titles, hence the “Gremlin Crisis War.”
Now I have to confess that the Gremlin story arc wasn’t all planned at first. In fact when I drew this strip, I had no idea where the story would go, or if I’d even continue it. I simply thought it was a funny concept to have this epic story title for this weird little web comic.
For this one I drew several new panels, and did more with the coloring than I‘d done before. It also features the debut of Patrick Cooper, the web Community guru at USA Today, although I slipped him in with no fanfare.
