Sinbad Comic

Join Sinbad and his merry men as they embark on a dubiously-conceived quest to foil a dubiously-conceived but probably evil plot by the evil vizier Jaffar! Sinbad Comic is a screen-cap comic based on the incredible, incomparable, and inexplicable 1989 Lou Ferrigno film, Sinbad of the Seven Seas.

Sinbad Comic is currently on hiatus but will eventually return for the fifth and final season.

"Help, my hand is glued to my forehead!"

How did you know what kind of humor I like? xD

It's always the quiet, veiled ones you gotta watch for....o.o

I think I would have been more amused by the unglued joke if the Us in this font weren't so annoying. Hopefully soon I'll be able to read a word with a U in it without having to look twice.


Also I would never, never like to see Charlie and his true-love-girl in the same panel. I would get freaked out, just by their facial expressions alone.

Even more than now, I mean.

That, and iocaine powder will, in fact, instantly quench your thirst, as well as every other need you might ever possibly have in your life.

The fact that someone was about to shell out 900 shekels for it was, I thought, the joke of it all.

Looks like the life of a hay seller is pretty simple.

And I'm not entirely sure this would be my first place to stop and shop. I'm seeing a real lack of used CD sellers.

I like how "yon beauteous maiden" is a 4. ;-)

From: Sam
Date: Tue, 5/26/2009, 13:19:11 		The "What am I doing back there?" joke doesn't quite work. I wanted to do a joke about doubles for one of the wide frames, which are actually two movie frames spliced together to form a wider picture than you ever see in the movie. Here, the spliced frames come from tracking shots that follow characters travelling through a crowd. Both frames have the same character in it, so, after splicing, they appear twice.

But this scene has so much motion and blur and foreground movement that it was hard to get two *good* frames of the same character that I could splice together. The fifth panel is the best I could do: if you look closely, you can see how the guy with the camel is also visible through the cart in the foreground (note his waistband).

You can also see this occur in the last wide panel. The kid with his hand on his head is visible to the far left, but he's also visible just behind the woman saying, "Sure is a fine-looking spankin' machine."

From: RiftTraveler
Date: Mon, 5/25/2009, 21:57:29 		I also enjoyed the Princess Bride reference, the Shawshank reference, and, to my shame, it took me three viewings to catch that the "That cartoonist is cute" person was a girl. In the second and third frame, it looks like a guy.

Giggled at the magical thirst-quenching liquid. I wonder where I can get me some of that?
From: RiftTraveler
Date: Mon, 5/25/2009, 17:28:56 		Oh my gosh, you threw out a Bedknobs and Broomsticks reference. You get +10 points of Awesomeness.

(Portabello Road IS from B&B, right? Otherwise I'm going to look like an idiot).
