What Could Have Been/Web Comics: Difference between revisions

Line 7:

* Part of the final storyline in ''[[Bob and George]]'' summarizes what would have happened if the original hand drawn comic had run its course: a fairly unoriginal superhero comic.

** An early storyline had George mention some "pesky aliens" that might have followed him to the ''[[Mega Man (video game)|Mega Man]]'' Universe. This was a plot line from the hand drawn comic that Dave intended to integrate into the sprite comics about alien body snatchers replacing people, but it was simply never gotten to. The original idea in the hand drawn comic involved one character getting replaced, then the alien slowly [[Becoming the Mask]]. The other characters find out, but the one who was replaced was such a [[Jerkass]] that no one cared.

* ''[[The Order of the Stick]]'':

* The sequence in ~~''[[The Order of the Stick]]''~~ where Roy wears the [[Man, I Feel Like a Woman|Girdle of Femininity/Masculinity]] was originally envisioned as Roy putting it on to engage in "girl talk" with Miko before discovering he couldn't remove it. However, as Rich Burlew wrote Miko, he discovered that her character didn't really mesh with "light romantic comedy", so the sequence became much more dramatic.

* ~~Another from ''[[The Order of the Stick|Order of the Stick]]'',~~ Tsukiko [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0465.html almost reanimated Miko after the Azure City battle]. This seemed more like lampshading than an actual plot possibility though. There are only so many recurring antagonists you can have.

* ''[[Dinosaur Comics]]'' originally had a different template, where a Maiasaurus was a fourth character—she appears in the first two panels instead of the ''T. rex''. Additionally, the pixel art on the characters in the remaining four panels were slightly different, resulting in small yet undesirable details. You can see this early version [http://www.qwantz.com/comics/comic1-1.png here].

* In another world, [[Doug Walker]] and [[El Goonish Shive|Dan Shive]] might have [http://danshive.blogspot.com/2010/01/nostalgic-tale.html collaborated on a webcomic].
