As the comic says - Harpy Tar, everyone!

Don't get it? Well, it's mostly an injoke caused by a secret at Homestar Runner. Actually, it's not so much of a secret as something the Brothers Chaps never used, but people discovered. The Chapstick Duo (Heh) had some sort of mini flash movie that would have loaded into to the menu pages that says "HAPPY T!" Each of the letters could be clicked on to hear a H*R character wish you a happy (American) Thanksgiving. Coach Z's greeting was extremely garbled, thanks to his outrageous accent. It sounds something like "Harpy Tar!"

Thus, this became a personal injoke for me ever since I first discovered it. Given the original purpose of the Harpy Tar, I figured it'd be a good refrence ... thingummy... to use here, today, on Thanksgiving.

This comic also marks the entrance of Gut Funk as an official RW cast member. Everyone shower him with your chicken legs! He'll explode gratutiously if you do.

Why did Gut Funk get pecoized in this comic? Aside from the fact that it's just too perfect for Nth to cause more mischef, it's also a refrence to another ancient Prontera Parish injoke - Gut Funk used to parade around as a pecopeco. Of late he's preferred to explode gratuitously, but I've never forgotten that - I figured this would be an excellent time to bring it all together!

Some of you people may notice that a LOT of stuff here is retouched pictures from previous RWs. In fact, the only things completely original in this particular comic are anything of Gut Funk's, the little picture of Sniff in the panel with me and Lunaris (not to mention his eye and the final panel), as well as Lenz and Zelse's cameos. That's it - everything else is from a previous RW.

Some of which, of course, has been retouched beyond recognition - which only applies to Nth (whose source image comes from his frames in "Nth Power's Soda Enterprises") and Lunaris, which was an overhaul using two sources - the previous comic ("What's In A Name?") and "Gender Bending."

Why did I reuse a lot of images? Well, given the size of this comic, I simply wouldn't have had the time to go and create original drawings for all the characters. I spent a lot of time retouching Lunaris and Nth for their cameos, as well as Gut Funk's. Had I gone and drawn everything, then colored it from scratch, either it would have been close to midnight before I'd've finished my updates, or it would have been the next day... and then the day after that I'd have to do the comic for the 30th.

I actually do have a habit of reusing images and retouching them, but I don't abuse it as badly as I have here.

AND LOOK! THE MAGINATOR IS BACK! This makes fourteen people who've appeared in the Tar-key(fu?) day comic.

Once again - HARPY TAR!!11
