0193 - Orchestra Hero

Notes on today's comic (1 Nov 2010):

Another rejected "Hero" game for your perusal (the first was here). Of course, another problem with such a game would be in trying to get 20 game controllers hooked up to one console or computer (but the size of the box was much funnier, in my humble opinion)...

Technical note: Although I looked for the images of the various instruments online (thanks to Google and Wikipedia), I did actually draw them myself... Purists will be able to spot imperfections (I know a couple with the trumpet, but I'm not going to draw attention to them!) I must admit, though, that I did cheat with the violin: I only drew half of it, and then copied, reflected and pasted. Still, you can't really do that with a trumpet, can you! I never realised before just how complicated those things are - mind you, I had planned to draw a French horn - aargh!

You know, I had been considering doing a comic for Hallowe'en, for yesterday, but I can still only think of one costume... I'm not going to give that away, though, in case I've got around to thinking up some more by the time I get to Hallowe'en 2011!

Happy Columbus Day / Discoverer's Day (Hawaii) / Native American Day (South Dakota and certain tribal communities in Oklahoma) / Indigenous People's Day (California: Berkeley, Sebastopol and Santa Cruz)! Phew... I have enough trouble keeping up with American holidays anyway, let alone local variations - Wikipedia is your friend...
