Wow, 20 strips. Hard to believe.
As for commenting on the strip, I SO don't get the whole Guitar Hero and Rock Band thing. Oh I tried, believe me I tried. I bought Guitar Hero 2 (once it was on XboX of course) and tried like the devil to get interested in it. And even though the soundtrack is largely remniscent of my high school years, I just could not get into the vibe of the whole style of play. I can see why some people like it, but in my day we just played air guitar without the help of a plastic controller. Meh, to each their own.
For the people below who aren't sure about some of the characters.
- Ratchet & Clank
- Raz from Psychonauts
- Rocky Balboa
- One of the countless Unggoy grunts from Halo 1, 2, & 3
- Stan Marsh from South Park
- Naruto Uzumaki
- Chewbacca
- Jason Voorhees from the Friday the 13th films
- The H.R. Giger alien from the ALIEN "Quadrilogy"
And just for fun, here are some other ideas I had for characters that didn't get used:
- Stuntmutt's version of the Chief as audition 1-1-7
- Freddy Krueger
- Kratos (this comic was actually drawn before #19 where he was used)
- Michaelangelo's "David"
- The Crow
- The Undertaker
- Gordon Freeman
- The MAXX
- Marv from Sin City
