I’m a little bummed we didn’t get to include Diddy Kong wearing a Nintendo hat, as it probably would have made an ironic ending panel. To make up for it though, you can take a look at the vector art for Samus, Link, and Luigi, as well as a sketch I did to prepare. Which is actually pretty rare…

I’d also like to thank all of you readers for making 2P START! such a long and enjoyable journey thus far. It’s been lots of fun, and I hope you are enjoying it as well. If you have never checked out our podcast before, I encourage you to take a listen. We actually strive to keep it a worthwhile piece of edited audio.

I was excited about this comic for a couple reasons: first, Ray got Link’s panel done a day early and it looked GOOOOD, it built up the anticipation for me! Second, those complaining about last week’s lack of ‘quality artwork’ would hopefully be more than satisfied with this one! Regarding the topic at hand, one of my favorite TV shows, Burn Notice, recently sold itself out to a beer company and now episodes include closeups of the beer label and lines of dialogue about how few calories are in this particular beer. I fear that as the gaming industry ‘matures’ we’ll see more and more of this (as if we don’t see enough already). Please Nintendo, never sink to this level!
