562 - Sweet Freedom

In one month, these same characters will be rioting in the streets when they realize the guy in first with a Super Horn is completely unstoppable. Professor Gadd will retreat to his panic room he uses every time one of his inventions goes awry, and amidst the furious mob clawing at his fortified doors, he'll invent. He'll invent until he discovers the next big-ticket item in Mario Kart, an anti-anti-Spiny Shell device the likes the world has never seen. It will harness the power of Zeus, sending a bolt of electricity from the skies directly into every racer participating. It will be called the Lightning Bolt, and it'll be the ultimate equalizer. …Oh wait, that already exists? Then I guess the Super Horn is fine, never mind.

I hope enough of you watched the Mario Kart 8 Direct to understand this! It was originally even more obscure--the sign was a last-minute addition. Either way, I liked drawing Gadd in this mad scientist role. Because mad scientists, th-they're pretty fun to watch, Morty.

"But Matthew!" you may be exclaiming, perhaps while tapping the monitor. "Triple Deluxe just came out! You got any Kirby comics in your Kirby comic?" Ultimately, I wanted to do an anti-Spiny Shell strip before everyone else started doin' some. Plus, I haven't been able to try out Triple Deluxe yet so I'm not sure what to make a strip about. But I'm looking forward to it, either way!

I thought the last panel of this was kinda cool on its own, so here it is by itself.562panel

Oh, and the forums are working again. Sorry about the issues last week! I picked a bad time to be out of town.
