Happy Thursday Drunken Fools and welcome to the Drunken Spotlight of the week!
This week, I have the honor to talk about a very great webcomic and colleague from the Webcomic Planet Collective, Capes & Babes by Chris Flick!
The reason why I’m very happy to do a spotlight on Capes n Babes is for the simple reason I was already an addicted reader before joining the Collective. Look on the right column under “Webcomics I like”, Capes n Babes has been there for a while now.
Chris gets his influence from comic book heroes and real life events surrounding a comic book store in a strip mall. Add to this a werewolf in love with a vampire… if you don’t think THIS is awkward, maybe you should read about werewolves and vampires or just watch the Underworld movies… Also, the werewolf (Roy) and the vampire (Roni) are big fans of Karaoke… making this even more awkward.
Capes n Babes is also about a difficult relationship between Marc & Joey, I’m wondering if they will ever be able to communicate properly to each other. But that is what makes the relation interesting between the two of them.
Also, indirectly, Chris was some sort of an inspiration for me when I started to add the yellow eyes in my strip a few months ago. I was trying to find a way to make my characters really look drunk when they were totally smashed but I didn’t know what to do. Then I saw this strip and the next one and I knew right away I had to do something with the eyes of my characters.
Anyway, I love Chris’ webcomic and you SHOULD go check it out!
