For almost half a decade now I have been making fun of that flat chested, little flower girl from Final Fantasy VII. But after the previous comic, I finally decided it was about time I showed her a little love. In fact it was actually the third Dueling Analogs comic where I took my first stab, no pun intended, at Aeris Aerith Gainsborough.
The good part about Final Fantasy VII is that like Super Mario Bros. or Pac-Man it’s so ingrained into the gaming culture you really need no setup for the reader to understand where you’re coming from. Choose an event or character, make a joke and odds are the audience will get it. Now, if I were to make a comic about the Chiki Chiki Boys I would definitely need to do some explaining.
In case you want to look at any of Dueling Analogs’ previous Aerith Gainsborough comics they are all located right here
Update: Jamie Noguchi supplied me with a puppy cow remix of today’s comic [remixed comic]. Don’t know what a puppy cow is? I recommend learning about it here. I still laugh everytime I see the remixed image.

Oh. Snap.

You’ve summed my sentiments most adequately, sir.
July 15, 2010 at 12:51 am #
Oh god. All I have to say is BRILLIANT
July 15, 2010 at 1:06 am #
On one hand, this is brilliant. No question about that. On the other hand, I can’t decide if I should reach for the industrial strength eye bleach, or keep on staring.
July 15, 2010 at 1:17 am #
That is awesome.
July 15, 2010 at 1:38 am #
I agree with dgnslyr, it’s funny… but the image is going to be haunting for some time…
July 15, 2010 at 1:38 am #
Know what? This is hilarious and sexy. I approve! :3

Oh, and for some “ridiculous fanboy moment” trivia, I actually had a thing for “Sephiroth x Aerith” back in the day. Don’t ask me why. I don’t even know. Something about this logically and physically impossible pairing just felt right to me. XD

The First “stab” at Aerith was the one that got me hooked on Dueling Analogs
July 15, 2010 at 2:32 am #
Haha, that is priceless. Kinda hot too.
July 15, 2010 at 2:47 am #
Mmkay, that is some fucked up and very hilarious shit! Yay for Aeristh?
July 15, 2010 at 4:41 am #
I’ve never played FF7, only a little bit of 8… does Aeris die?
July 15, 2010 at 5:11 am #
Polite answer: Yes.
Jackass answer:
AERIS DIES AT THE END OF DISC 1 IN FINAL FANTASY VII

Dear God. Epic. Win.
July 15, 2010 at 8:09 am #
I expected Aerith to be wearing one as long as Masamune. Fair is fair after all.
July 15, 2010 at 3:29 pm #
I also was dissapointed by the lack of centimetres/inches on that “sword”… but ah well
July 15, 2010 at 3:39 pm #
Do you realize how tiny Aerith would have had to be in the final frame for that to fit?
July 16, 2010 at 8:45 am #
You could have drawn it so the length/weight would pull it down across the second frame’s background.
July 15, 2010 at 9:16 am #
I fuckin’ died.
July 15, 2010 at 9:42 am #
Flat chested flower girl eh? Hey, she was still more stacked than Yuffie! But I guess everyone looks like a pettanko when compared to Titty Titan Tifa.
July 15, 2010 at 10:04 am #
As a girl, all I’ve got to say to you is “About goddamn time, you ASS.” Christ.
July 15, 2010 at 11:49 am #
Well that wasn’t SFW.
July 15, 2010 at 1:06 pm #
I guess it depends on where you work. Unfortunately, you can’t really warn people about the first thing you see when you visit the site.
July 16, 2010 at 8:04 am #
Besides, it’s not really the first time Dueling Analogs has been “NSFW”. This is actually more tame than some previous comics that come to mind. (Such as one offering up a nude Lara Croft.) I mean, NSFW is about 50% of these comics, am I right?
July 16, 2010 at 8:06 am #
Okay, I know I’m replying to myself here, but Dueling Analogs #1: Luigi’s Anal Adventure, followed by Bukkake Man. Seriously, hahah.
July 15, 2010 at 12:11 pm #
This is one of the few sites where the comic can change from a tongue-in-cheek murder to a pegging joke in the span of two days. Good show Steve.
July 15, 2010 at 2:44 pm #
This…might be the best thing on the site so far XD XD XD
July 15, 2010 at 3:24 pm #
Just now waiting for the inevitable Rul34ing by the FF VII fans, as this idea suddenly “dawns” on them.
July 15, 2010 at 4:16 pm #
Hmm…Seems rather auto-biographical…
July 15, 2010 at 4:25 pm #
I saw this… and I came.
July 15, 2010 at 10:35 pm #
How is Sephiroth reading that with his eyes closed?
July 17, 2010 at 7:49 pm #
He’s just squinting really hard like Brock from pokemon
July 15, 2010 at 11:37 pm #
OMG so fking brillant jajajajaja
July 16, 2010 at 7:35 am #
MUST… NOT… FAAAAAP….
July 16, 2010 at 9:21 am #
LOL, awesome
Is this a Ghastly guest strip?
July 16, 2010 at 7:54 pm #
I fail to see the need to divide this into panels.
July 17, 2010 at 2:01 am #
Am I only the one who loves Sepiroth’s facial expression. You have all these fanboys who draws him as a badass, but Napierski draws him as a total knave.
July 18, 2010 at 4:41 pm #
For the love of God, please do a Chiki Chiki Boys comic! If only for the fact that you could claim to be the first video games related comic artist to do a comic about it. ^^
Man, I loved that game. Still got my Genesis cartridge sitting there, ready to be played again… *nostalgia*
July 19, 2010 at 3:54 pm #
ahahahahaha, that’s the most unsettling funny thing ever XD
