Crack That Piñata

Andr3s

A couple of days ago i read that Marvel had sued the Mexican piñata makers for using marvel characters , and i said to myself GOOD . Finally those Piñata Lords got what they had coming to them and Marvel can have a share of that sweet piñata money .
Serously though the whole thing seems pretty absurd so i made a strip about it , ENJOY ..... or not



And dont forget to comment .

My bad :P

the grammar nazi inside me forces me to mention "unlicensed"

i really like the concept but i wonder if going a more absurdist route on it might add to the hahas.

ie having the hulk take out a few guards with automatic weapons, stacks of money, maybe some blow. Although it probably add too many panels and lose alot of focus on the issues.

that said i the 2nd panel so very much

Thanks dude sorry i took so long to reply :P i wasnt home , i also thought about setting the thing in a cartel style piñata factory but i think as Marvels's reaction is the one im making fun of , ill just leave the context as real as possible , ill correct that " unlicenced " as soon as i can ( english is not my native language , but that's not an excuse )

the breaking through the wall panel is pretty confusing. Confusing that you chose such a pedestrian solution when you could've killed it with a more dramatic angle. The first thing that comes to mind for me isworms eye view looking up over the shoulder of the pianta maker- show the hulk's silhouette completely englufing the cowering pinata maker and rocks flying all around.

If any panel shouldve been pedestrian it shouldve been panel one. It actually doesnt make sense why you chose to do a worms eye view of the creatures hangning outside because it breaks up the feeling of serenity- a serene unsuspecting toy maker about to be suprised by the hulk. The worms eye view makes it look sinister/ or suggests that- which dilutes the joke..

Then the last panel does not make sense. Because the way it reads now is the hulk didnt even turn around to smash at the pinata maker. Just looks like hes going to break some more shit down by his feet.

Tilting him back against the movement you established with him busting through the wall is also kinda odd. Tilting him the other way adds a little more to the overwhelming rush feeling.

in panel 3 you really only need the rippling paint buckets or just show his face.. Showing both effects of the hulk coming dilutes what you are going for.

Great advice man thank you , i guess tilting the hulk the wrong way was a rookie mistake i wasnt very sure about that last panel i tend to have problems with the punch lines ( i think in the future ill just skip them monty pyrthon style XD ) , as for the first panel i think the piñata choice was poor i should have put some less menacing ones instead that might have taken the sinister edge off , also keeping a steady rhythm in the panels untill the hulk comes into play was something i totally missed :P , so yeah the first and fourth panels also suck . I guess you learn as you go hehehe ( nervous laugh + anime style drip of sweat in forehead ).

I think you have some mistakes in your Spanish, too. You forgot the exclamation marks at the begening of the sentence, and an accent on "Santisima". ¡¡¡Madre santísima!!!

I like the art, but without knowing that it was based on a real scenario, the joke kinda falls flat.
