The Other Side of the Flagpole

Comic #1

by Alexandre Trottier - October 28, 2011, 11:00 am EDT

The first issue of our new Friday comic feature.

I can't believe "The Other Side of the Flagpole" is being featured on one of my favorite, and definitely one of the best, gaming websites! It feels like just yesterday that I drew the first comic and it's been uphill ever since! This wasn't originally the first comic in the series, but I felt that it served as a good introduction so I put it first! It is inspired by the fact that almost every single Mario game has a batch of recurring, recycled ideas. Don't get me wrong, I love the little plumber with a passion, but I feel there are plenty of places the plumber has yet to go that could provide more interesting platforming challenges than the same grassland world over and over again!

You know Nintendo Power had Comics and that was one of the best parts.

What happened to Goombas?

Oh don't worry, you'll get your goombas! :)

There is only one reason he is doing it. He knows he is going to get laid.

The hole in the back of his hat in the second comic looks like his mind got blown out the back of his head from eating a bullet.

I was referring to the site's old webcomic. It was called Goombas.

I must be blind, because I swear in 1-2 Mario's hat is on fire.

Well I'll be! I just read through all of them, but it's too bad they only did 16. I would have liked to see how the series evolved over time.

Don't worry, you're not blind, his hat IS on fire! I don't think him having "his mind blown out of the back of his head from eating a bullet" like oohhboy suggested would be good for the continuity of the series. ;)

Hmm :/ So I guess NintendoWorldReport forgot about me. Haven't heard from anywhere in a couple months, so I've moved over to NintendoFuse. Check out the comic every Wednesday over there.

And this is why they need a news editor...
