Rain Delay 11by *JocelynCD

Cartoons & Comics / Digital Media / Comics / Oekaki

Introducing “Rain Delay”: goofy little gag comics to keep you entertained while I work on the legit stuff. (Last derailing. Seriously, Chapter 11 next post!)

This Party's Boopin'
Not really a joke, as much as an excuse to use some of the fake game titles I've come up with over the past year and a half or so for this comic. About half of them were, however, made up exclusively for this strip (ironically, making Rudy's comment very accurate).

I should add that I will be extremely impressed if anyone can figure out every last one (and the origin of the title, for that matter). Many of the parodies are based (largely, albeit not entirely) on my own old Super Nintendo collection which consisted of both very mainstream and very obscure titles. Hint: A thesaurus might help in some cases.

(Fe)mail
This may actually be my least favorite Rain Delay to date. The joke - intended to play on Chanel's discomfort around boys - comes off a lot more mean on paper than it sounded in my head. To go a little further, that meanness just seems out of a character for her. She's not really mean.

But I've doomed myself to two 4koma shorts per Rain Delay, and I had no other (good) ideas, so I stuck with it. I guess I probably shouldn't be so hung up on whether or not these non-canon strips are in character though. Especially considering other Rain Delays have featured everything from Maria giving Rain a death threat, to Puddle being a (particularly skilled) gamer, to Emily controlling the passage of time.

Chanel's so feminist!

Cretaceous Lawn still cracks me up.

But we still need that copy of Transylfortress IV.

Actually, that's a good one. I wanted to include Castlevania, but I couldn't think of anything good. That one is though.

Well if you want to use it in the future, please do.

I knew that last one was StarFox! Before I read any comments!

I like (Fe)mail! Just based on my own experiences, 90+% of all incoming email coming from males who are not members of my family is suggestive or condescending (or both). Or just flat out disgusting. So I pretty much trash everything I don't know the origin or the person.

Ninety percent? Even accounting for the universally degraded state of discourse on the internet, that's atrocious.

Yes, it is. I can't count how many "proposels" I've had on FB since I joined. A couple were for marriage, the rest were for "shorter term" arrangements. Plus the usual photo and intiminte (my spelling sucks today!) apparel requests. Some people are really sick. I got a few banned from FB, but that didn't last long. One actually made it to the small town in Texas where I lived at the time. When he was arrested he turned out to be a registered sex offender from up north. He'd gone off the radar in his own state where he was on parole for violent sexual assault and assault with a deadly weapon.

Wow. Suddenly I don't regret not having ever joined Facebook anymore...

~lmnoprq Sep 6, 2012 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

Numeric estimations aside, what she's describing is pretty much the norm for Facebook. I don't care to go into great detail, but I've seen similar incidents there and closed my account with great disgust because of it. And people wonder why FB stock is in freefall.
