Hey kidz its story time! Please enjoy as I post a comic me and my younger brother made 15 years ago.
For a short period of time we both decided to collaborate and begin drawing a comic book that contained numerous individual strips. Most of them are really poor quality and not worth posting, but occasionally we would go crazy and create 20+ page specials where every character would team up to go on some sort of adventure. This one was probably my favorite, so it gets to be posted here

Mr.Manwich was essentially a spongebob knockoff, but became the fan favorite due to his aggressive, sarcastic attitude.

Here you can see where me and my brother would take turns drawing the panels. We were both 10 and 7 respectively at the time so please ignore that bad spelling and handwriting.

Jetpack cat was a character that featured a lot in the comics, and a recurring villain in his strip was an anthropomorphic dollar bill who was obsessed with money and would rob banks and stuff. Here you can see him rushing out of the WoW headquarters upon hearing of the reward money of finding the 10th issue.

Stupid Simon was a later addition to the cast and was essentially there to fill a lolsorandum role. We actually had a vote at school where my fellow peers would pick between three new character strips that would become a permanent new member of the cast. Stupid Simon won 15-2-0

Oh yeah, Jetpack cat was able to transorm into pretty much anything due to his cybernetic enhancements. Also, Mr.Manwich had a villian called mr. Sandwich, you can tell them apart because Mr. Sandwich is made of white bread while Mr. M was made of rye. Aka: if they have spots then they're Mr. Manwich.

Fatso was just some fat guy we could use to make fat jokes with. I actually forgot about all the weird gross out bodily function jokes we often incorporated with him. Maybe we were just ahead of the times.
This is cute, Anon. I'm bumping this.

This was probably the weirdest thing that features in the comic. Mr. Manwich rented his rocket ship for a day, and when the repo men come to take it back they physically launch themselves into the engine while the ship is in flight in order to jam it and seize back control.
Then they decide to murder them for no reason with a bomb run afterwards. I'm not sure what we were thinking when we were drawing that.

That guy in the chest is called What-If Guy and is probably the single most powerful member of the cast in that his very thoughts and musings have the power to reshape reality. In order to keep the world in stable condition, he is locked in a box until completely necessary.
In normal comics he would usually get the last strip of the issue, often used to make dumb jokes such as imagining a world where Barney ruled the world and stuff. I recall one issue where I got so ass blasted about Yu-Gi-Oh getting more popular at school than Pokemon that I dedicated an entire strip to What-If Guy imagining Yugi getting the shit beat out of him by numerous pokemon. Its perhaps the first recorded incident of fantard rage.

The guy continuously saying Blah is called Blah Boy. Its all he can say and he has a habit of soaking people with his own custom high powered water pistol.
He gets so mad about hearing the name Whoopee Comics because in a previous issue he was involved in covert mission where he had to prevent them from destroying WoW comics with a newly constructed mech,.
The best part about it now, was that the enitire strip was a homage to the tanker intro to MGS2 which had just come out at the time and we were both obsessed with. Right down to a Revolver Ocelot lookalike villain and a Metal Gear Ray mech.

This is just an obligatory puzzle page that we would include in every comic. I'm not even sure if that maze is even solvable looking back at it.

Here's another puzzle page for some reason, now in the form of a boardgame.
I used to be obsessed with creating board games at this point, probably inspired by mario party. They would often get incredibly intricate and complex with tokens and items and things and I used to torture my friends and family to play them despite how awful they were. Some of my best however usually had some sort of franchise theming that actually got pretty popular at school. The undisputed best one was the MGS1 boardgame that had multiple branching paths, a sniper wolf fight and even a Torture scene. Plus Master Miller narrated the instructions.

Chinese robot was kind of a racially insensitive depiction of cutting edge asian robotic technology. We used to host a page of the comic where he would give out cheats for popular games at the time that we would get our Uncle to look up the internet for and print them out for us (since most of us at school didn't have any internet back then.)
However, we got worried about getting sued by sony and stuff after a few issues, so we started just making cheats for made up games instead - often parodies of real games. ie: Mime Crisis, Checkkin (Tekken/Chess crossover), and Jet-Pack Kat Gear Solid.
As you can imagine we were both big MGS fans.

A strip that was dropped after the 6 issue or so was Super Hands, a buch of severed hands that were super heroes. They were dropped because the novelty run out really fast. The most interesting thing about the comic though was the villain, which was a sort of generic evil scientist that wore a do-rag for some reason.
>>93381864
I should mention that there was very little preparation or planning with these comics. Often we would both start drawing random pages and end up having to come up with a page or two to make the story coherent. In an earlier special, I was obsessed with having a scene where the gang are in London just so I could make a Big Ben joke, and we ended up having to draw three pages of them all winning a holiday contest just to give a reason for them to be there.

Nearing the end now. Here the WoW crew take on their genetically cloned Whoopee versions. They are never seen again after this issue, so I guess they all just died in the explosion.

And that is the end. Thank you very much for reading this little piece of my childhood. Some of my favorite moments with my brother was when we used to draw these together, and I'd like you to try and hunt down some of your old little projects you used to do as a kid too. You'll be surprised how many memories flood back once you see the front page of a shitty little comic made for a group of like 20 kids.
