I definitely love it whenever Chris Simmons, of Digital Unrest, has the time to do a guest strip for Dueling Analogs. This is actually the sixth guest strip that he has done for the site over the past six years. He’s a great webcomic artist and his guest strips always deliver. Thanks again!

Ah the console comics…Some of you like them and some of you hate them. People are pretty polarized when it comes to their opinion of them. Me? Well, I like them. But personally, I’ve been trying to do them a lot more sparingly so that when they do appear there’s much less animosity towards them.

R. Stevens said via Twitter: “@pierski, nicely done!”

Richard Stevens, not to be confused with myself Steven Richard, creates Diesel Sweeties. And I felt that it would be a fun still to emulate. I like creating the sprite based What if…?s, but there’s so few of them. I mean you’ve got 8-bit Theater, Diesel Sweeties and… that’s about all I can think of. See what I mean?

Clarification: Let me specify that there are a lot of sprite based comics, but there are so few big name webcomics that use original sprites. Diesel Sweeties and Comet7 (which no longer updates) used their own custom sprites, but that’s about all I know about. I made an exception for 8-bit Theater because of being synonymous with sprite comics themselves.

Bored? Why not check out the previous What if…? installments. Or better yet check out the Dueling Analogs Book 1 project over at KickStarter.

Oh, here is a non anti-aliased version of comic before it was shrunk down for the website.

Just wanted to let you know that a donation drive for Dueling Analogs to update everyday in January is currently running. Check it out!

Creating an overly complex premise and delivering an effect punchline to go with it is not an easy task. Fortunately for Woody, this comic does exactly that. Funny that this is a “What it…?” comic as I had already done a What if Woody Hearn had created Dueling Analogs? comic and to which he followed it up with What it would have actually looked like if Woody Hearn had created Dueling Analogs?. Thanks, Woody!

Chris is awesome. In fact, this is Chris’ fourth guest strip that he has done for Dueling Analogs (previous guest strips: 1, 2 & 3). On top of that, Digital Unrest is hands down one of the best gaming webcomics on the net. Definitely worth reading the comic’s entire archive.

I decided to do the latest incarnation of the series as a “What if Patrick Alexander, from Hilarity Comics, created Dueling Analogs?” Now Hilarity Comics is what you get if you mix F@NB0Y$, Ralph Bakshi and lots of drugs… I mean LOTS of them. It’s a really funny comic and one that I actually feel guilty laughing at… Okay, not really. I was just trying to save face. No guilt at all laughing at the comics. They are generally funny. Even the ones that conflict with comics I have created (figure those out on your own ) Nonetheless, it is definitely worth checking out.
