Another comic that's taken most of the day, but heck. As long as I didn't get it done right before midnight, right?

I kind of had no real ideas for a New Years' Eve comic, but I hope this is funny anyway (Trist liked it when I ran the idea by him at least). This'd be the third comic that I've had to stretch the header window thing on to fit all the starring people in, too.

Sniff's little funny here with the noisemaker is some self-refrential humor. Sniff used to make it a shtick, drawing attention to his 1 INT point, doing silly things and such.

Okay, the scene with the Masterring being dropped into a needle... I'm not TOO sure if everyone will get that, because I don't know if the ball-dropping tradition is followed outside the U.S - or at least New York City. Over here in the 'States the countdown to the new year is timed with a ball slowly descending to the ... well, base of whatever it's descending on. When it explodes or goes out or whatever it does for that particular year, the new year's number lights up below. I thought immediately of parodizing it with a masterring being pricked by a needle. And look! It's frowning like Beige!

And of course, when you ask El Blargo to provide the confetti, you're just asking for trouble. This guy will always find an excuse to use his spells of mass destruction.

Well, I guess it's coitans for 2003.

See you in the future, West Coast! Bwahahaha!
