    Oh shit, they look spot-on.

    Give Mike a break, he's just emitting Minovsky particles to render the enemy's radar useless.

    Its a legitimate concern about someone who caused an abacus to bluescreen

    So help me my first thought was, "wow we're finally going to meet Mike's best friend."

    Just for reference, according to Mike this is the "cute" version of them.

    It's funny they decided to go with the "real life" Mike and Jerry instead of G&T. After all, "Gabe's" son (also "Gabe") has been in the comics plenty of times.

    This is the "realest" version of Mike and Jerry. Which is also called "retina":

    It's the one they use in newsposts when they want to speak as "Mike/Jerry instead of Gabe/Tycho". It's from the strip Perhaps Too Real.

    Which, again (since I said this I think last comic post), is a cool thing you can find out if you subscribe and listen to the Penny For Your Thoughts podcast.



    Now where's my commission? :biggrin:

    Edit: Oh, and the "cute" version Jerry reminds me of a cross between Bunsen Honeydew and (Batman's) Penguin. Which is probably why Jerry did not at first appreciate it. I love it. I'd read a comic with just these characters. Of course, it'd probably be the same comic, just with different art.

    What's a Gundam PC? A Gundam-themed computer, or a computer that turns into a Gundam?

    Only Zeta Gundam PCs transform.

    And I suppose Double-Zeta Gundam PCs, as well. But we don’t talk about those.

    Nothing personal. It's just business.

    Surely someone's built a life-size Haro with a computer inside.

    If you're curious about my icon; it's an update of the early Lego Castle theme's "Black Falcons" faction.

    I found one with a quick search, but it looks kind of... not good.

    I actually like cartoon Mike and Jerry more than Gabe and Tycho in some ways.
    There's been so many strange crossovers with their alter-egos over the years, maybe its time they "came out" and just kept it this way. I'm really interested in how the fanbase would react, even if it never happens.

    The Gundam ZZ PC is pretty good but having to reassemble it everytime you turn it on is a bit of an issue.

    The "Anime Ja Nai!" feature is pretty slick, though. Replacing whatever cringe anime you're watching with porn if someone walks in.

    I mean, they could have made it not porn, but it's pretty much the only other thing that instinctive flinch could be.
