About Me
I enjoy photography, games, doing models (the plastic kit kind unfortunately, not the real life female kind. Oh well) Comics, simulations. When I'm not involved in these activities I'm usually plotting world domination or how to kill the pet cat and make it look like an accident.

Comment on The Guild of Small Scale Warfare
matthewboggs, 08 Mar 2007 12:32 am
I'm not a big Star Wars fan if you haven't noticed. I enjoyed the original 3 movies as a
kid, but the newer 3 totally killed Star Wars for me.
No matter where you go and what you do, you cannot escape from Star Wars nerds. Everytime a popular game comes around, the Star Wars nerds will make some kind of Star Wars modfor it, or like in this comic, name their character after someone or something in Star Wars. Doesn't matter what the game is about, Star Wars will be there. Make an easily mod-able World War 2 shooter, and you KNOW someone is going to make a light sabre, or blaster mod... Or even make an X-wing to replace those P-51 Mustangs...
And don't you hate when you're playing something like World of Warcraft and a complete stranger comes up out of nowhere and asks you to join their guild? I'd rather know something about how that guild plays before I would join up. It would be kind of like marrying someone and THEN going out on a date with them...

Comment on Brutal Cat D.... of Small Scale Warfare

Sorry the cat's Thompson submachine gun is a bit hard to see.
Thought I'd blatantly rip off a couple of movies for the dialogue in this one...

Comment on Heroes? of Small Scale Warfare
matthewboggs, 07 Mar 2007 01:15 am
Sorry about the dialogue being so jumbly on this one. It was pretty hard trying to get it
all in there.
That seems to be a popular question when talking about super powers. Would you rather be able to fly, or turn invisible? Being invisible would seem to have more uses, both naughty and not.. But yet I've always thought it would be amazing to fly. Good thing we can never really have that choice, because it would be pretty hard to choose. I'd probably end up choosing flight in the end.
The original gag for this was how when you were trying to DM an RPG, sometimes the players would just start talking about off-topic stuff, and totally forget they were playing a game. It's frustrating for the DM, especially when it reaches the point where the DM can say basically anything without getting their attention.

Of course this comic is referring to #26. The reaction of the soldier with the beret says
it all in the final panel...

This is an old inside joke from an old AD&D 2nd edition campaign I used to play with
my brother. After running Underdark adventures and other similar things, we got to the
point where we'd always say "I look up" because of the many times where some
nasty creature would be waiting for you on the ceiling...
Originally I wanted the spider to be shown hanging from a thread just above the ranger's head. I had too many problems doing that, so I settled for him coming down from the wall and then leaping on top of him.

Comment on Oh Bugger... of Small Scale Warfare

The "wolves" are Worgs from the Lord of the Rings miniature collection. I stayed
away from getting any of the main characters from LOTR and only got worgs and orcs. Tried
to stay with a "generic" fantasy feel. This was long before I ever had in mind
doing a comic with them.
The male piece is a Warhammer mini. An Assassin. I painted him up as a ranger though.
The female piece is "Ashlyn" from Reaper Minis. I've borrowed the mini's name for the few times I've needed to actually use a name for a character.

Comment on Nice Sword of Small Scale Warfare
matthewboggs, 05 Mar 2007 06:09 pm
This comic and the next one came about because I accidentally ripped the guy's arm off
while mauling him with the mammoth. Instead of just gluing it right back on, I wondered if
I could take advantage of it. Turns out it lead to some of my most popular comics yet.
The first panel of this comic I actually shot LAST, after I glued the arm back on. And that spider is actually wielding that sword. There's no Photoshop tricks involved with that. It was funny making it mainly for the absurdity of seeing the spider actually holding the sword with the arm still attached.

Comment on Ugly of Small Scale Warfare
matthewboggs, 05 Mar 2007 06:03 pm
I haven't actually seen Ugly Betty before. I've seen newspaper ads and billboards for it
everywhere though. I couldn't help take a swipe at it after seeing that face. The show is
actually doing incredibly well in Australia. I think it went to number one in the ratings,
and it's actually doing way better than even Heroes here... (WTF?) My theory on Heroes is
that people in Australia must have gotten wind about how good Heroes is, and they've been
downloading every episode as soon as it airs in North America. (like me)

matthewboggs, 05 Mar 2007 05:59 pm
Yes, that is a female soldier toy. It looks pretty butch, but you can see it has
boobs...
Part of the absurdity of this strip, is the thought of a feminist organisation ever using P.E.N.I.S. as their acronym...I once heard a quote that went something like this: "Feminists are women who want to be men, and who act in unfeminine ways."
I usually try and keep my comics to 3 panels, but occasionally an idea takes up a few more. I think this is my first 5 panel comic.
