        I won't lie, I did have the porpy in mind when drawing that

    I'm sorry, why is he nervous? Those things are flippin' ADORABLE and they LOVE him! They all want to snuggle before going home! Even the Flightless Trumpet Bird! Which is totally nostalgia, at least for me. Reminds of the Alice in Wonderland cartoon.

      We have no idea what these guys are spirits of, you know. Could be any amount of unpleasant things...

      • Gillsing 14 years ago archived

        Or pleasant things! Or awkward things, like that happy snake spirit for instance.

      Just because something's adorable as a cartoon doesn't mean it'd be adorable when it's right there, with its living horn directly in your face. Looking all unnatural and pink.

      We can't even tell what kind of skin they have.

      Going from vagabond to celebrity can be a trifle unsettling even when the adoring fans don't look like they were designed by Dr. Seuss.

  • Nonesuch 14 years ago archived

    Awesomesauce. :D The fact that the spirits want to be on the mortal plane as little as the mortals want them doing whatever they do around the place is a big advantage for O'Malley and the rest of the crew.

    Home home home now now now!

    This can't possibly go wrong! XD

    I'm just gonna give a wild guess and say something stupid like their home being the human soul.

    • Nonesuch 14 years ago archived

      No, no. Their home is the spirit realm, where wizards call spirits from to perform specific tasks, such as Hunger being used to imbue bread so a greedy baker can boost his sales. ^^

    He's got groupies!

    This is my favorite page so far. The O'malllleeeeyyyy! :D

  • Kaysta 14 years ago archived

    Obviously the flightless trumpet bird is that feeling of TOOTING YOUR OWN HORN. Or the immature enjoyment of funny sounds.

    Bad jokes aside, I love this so much~ O'Malley not wanting to use his powers but doing so anyway when his friend needs him... And his character design.... He's probably my favorite in this comic. The wanting to leave before such nonsense happened also made me like him more. :D

    Second favorite is Malik. ^_^

    This is gonna be so badass! Can't wait!

    Okay who let Dr. Seuss loose in here???

  • SteinarB 14 years ago archived

    Well, of course flightless trumpet-duck is an emotion.

    Why, many are the times I've said to my friends, "Friends", I'd say. "I'm feeling rather flightless trumpet-duck today".

    Yes indeedy.

    I love the orange fuzzy one! He's so FLUFFY! :D One of my favourite pages as well.

    Omalley is now emotion spirit monster Jesus.

  • Daniel Riggs Fielder 14 years ago archived

    I am unreasonably fond of that trumpet spirit. Seriously.

  • SoItBegins 14 years ago archived

    He's The O'Malley!

  • Ilmari 7 years ago archived

    I can't believe I never thought of this before - Mal and his relation to the spirits is very reminicent of "Natsume's Book of Friends". 🤔

  • myriadism 3 years ago archived

    Trumpet Duck is the emotion of LOUD. Obviously. (loud is definitely an emotion)

  • Bag o Dyce 1 year ago archived
