DISQUS

I think I got it, but if it's what I think, then the execution could have been better. I just don't see a lot of folks doing pipes in games. Penises, yes. Not pipes.

Well, you are aware of the famous painting of the same title, right?

Took me a little bit to get it, but once I paid attention to the bottom bar it became pretty obvious.

Grey · 1 year ago

I think your hand lettering skills rock! Great comic, took me a bit to figure it out though.

Haha, well, not quite the same title, but the same line at least.

Ok, confession time, I'm one of those lol or used to be. I had to have my base "look good" i had a set build order etc and would even sell certain things if i didn't like the way it loooked lol got over that quick.

This comic reminds me of my first experience with SimCity. It was a rude awakening that you can't just build any dang city configuration you want and have a functional city. As my city stagnated and funds dwindled, I was forcibly brought to realize the necessity of roads and power lines.

Jake · 1 year ago

One day, wars are actually going to be fought like this and mishaps such as this are bound to happen. I just hope I'm far enough away from the coast to avoid those goddamned chronoshifted cruisers.

Thank you... I do love Magritte...

Zavion · 1 year ago

You say that this is for the 1% audience, but I have to admit this is funny even to those 99% unwashed masses (such as myself). The conection of the pipe base and Rene Magritte's work I missed completely until was pointed out by someone else, but the idea of the 'newbie' gamer building an entirely unusuable base and this being the reaction of those little doomed terrans or Nod soldiers is easily accessable and humorous even to the less art history educated.

SCRuskin · 1 year ago

Haha, I love it. Magritte was always my favorite surrealist.

Zell · 1 year ago

Heheh. The only way I could like this comic any better is if my art history exam wasn't fresh in my memory. =D

BridgeTroll · 1 year ago

Ohhhh my god! this is really separate from what everyone else is saying, but WHAT IS THE NAME OF THAT GAME! It was my favorite game on my old computer and I don't remember what it's called anymore. I've been looking for it for ever! Other than that fantastic comic.

Iason · 1 year ago

@BridgeTroll It kinda looks lice Command&Conquer 1

BridgeTroll · 1 year ago

no that's not it, I remember it was like, a defense against aliens type thing, and you had to build walls and towers and all sorts of other things to keep them out. There were sentries to shoot at them...and stuff, but command & conquer is close.

Serenissima · 1 year ago

StefanO · 1 year ago

looks like Dune 2000 for me but still awesome :)

Will ... of Doom! · 1 year ago

Wow, its like some awesome combination of Dune, Tiberium Sun and Red Alert (I noted a neat lil' Tesla Coil in the bottom corner).

If only I got the joke first time round... ah well. Keep up the great artwork, it puts mine to shame lol.

nothingman · 1 year ago

This one keeps growing on me, guess if there had been a comic up today my appreciation wouldn't have maxed out for the old one.

"BridgeTroll:

An old game called Utopia comes to mind. It was more like a SimCity game, but with the added bonus of aliens constantly harrassing your ass.

Pretty sure that's Red Alert. That involves lots of identical 2d reactor buildings in lurid colours with massive radiation warnings on the side.

Terrific idea! I could say that there's more to gaming and that is the empowering impact of technology nowadays. Most gamers are attracted to the posters and designs how the 'hot game" in town is announced. Game addicts are particular with game posters or screen-shots or architectural designs of the game. Good job blogger!
