Description Inspired by the "silent" comic strips of I decided to tackle a comic that didn't have any actual dialogue in it (sound effects and visual cues notwithstanding). Trying new things, hurrah!

Funny how the first thing I went to was Alison's addiction to video games, as it wasn't a favorite comic strip, nor have I been into many games as of late (I almost feel like Veronica in this!). But, for some reason, the visuals clicked with me for the simple statement, and everything just flowed through there. I hope this goes over better than then original space comic, as I think this conveys a message in one strip better than the previous story-based one!

Kickline and its characters belong to me. So does the artwork.

Comments and suggestions welcome. Enjoy!

Ha! I liked this! Didn't Mad Magazine artist Sergio Arogenes do this, too?

That's a good question! I wouldn't know as I haven't kept up with Mad since I was very young, but at least I'm on the right track with humor then! Thanks for the input here, Dave!

Haw, well that's a cute twist. Looks like they've having fun anyway.

And I do like how the comic doesn't need dialog, it runs rather well with just the expressions and symbols.

Good to see the fun's coming off on this pic! Yeah, dialogue-less comics are tough! Thanks a lot for the comment and support, pal!

Sometimes, it's good to give dialogue the day off, and let the characters' body language speak for them. Nice.

Indeed, especially when the personalities are able to shine through! Thanks a lot for the voice of support here, pal!

I don't know the black haired man yet but is he based on Sculley or the Doctor?

AgentC-24 In reply to LaptopGeek92 [2012-06-09 13:15:59 +0000 UTC]

Oh Goof? Nope, he was actually based off of a friend of a friend over a decade ago (his personality and looks have evoled into what you see here!)! Nonetheless, his space-themed getup is more of an homage to Star Wars jedis (as opposed to Alison's homage to cheesy 50s/60s space movies!). Unfortunately, I've never gotten into Dr Who, but I am aware of his popularity since I have a number of friends who are Who junkies.

Nonetheless, thanks for the comment and interest!

Oh, I have character who had the similar name and appearance but his traits are different, especially as the real friend changed personality as he is growing up, he was 14 when I knew him, now 18 coming to 19. At least being a Whovian is better than being a brony, I do like MLP but the bronies are crazy, even for just doing one deviation on MLP, I got a instant watcher for that, I find this rather annoying and I feel such a typecast.

No need for such fancy things as speech bubbles when the fun visuals speak volumes here. Love the switch between imagination and reality here, and Candy's just sweet as can be. Well done!

Speech bubbles, a luxury it didn't need! Thanks so much for the input here, Mark. Glad you could enjoy Candy's usual lightheaded kindness!

I think the "silent" approach is suitable for this comic! The second panel where Candy enters their world of imagination dressed up as a game character is especially interesting in this sense.

I'm glad you think so! Candy's certainly the one who can hop into any situation with a smile, hooray for her ditzy disposition! Thanks a lot for the comment and for the inspiration with your clever uses of speech bubbles!

Wow, I'm glad you could enjoy! I'm still searching for the right space background, so I'm glad my experimenting is working. Thanks so much, Candy!

reminds me of younger days..

glad to see the people in your 'verse have kept that fun loving attitude (or maybe it's just Candy that brings that out in people )

yeah, I've always thought that a strip like this can convey just as much emotion as a wordy one.

great job!

I hear ya, I was a Sega kid myself!

The main cast here can be accepting as Candy (ok, probably less so, but still pretty accommodating). I usually prefer to leave serious jerks to the real world.

Thanks a lot for the comment as always, pal!

Space Case was also a show that lasted only one year on Nickelodeon back in 1996.

Playing with one's imagination is FAR better than playing with any video games.
