Since Ananth wasn’t able to write a script, I created a simple splash comic for today. It has been a while since I did one anyway.

Mr. Bear as a soft squishy incarnation of Solid Snake from Metal Gear Solid?
I dig Mistah Bear’s sniper setup… absolutely killer.
Agreed, the eye patch makes it all the more cooler.
Brilliant; any chance of a wallpaper version of this? I would proudly sport it :)
Forgive my ignorance, but what is a “splash comic”? Does it mean a single frame like today’s? Once again, please excuse my lack of knowledge; there is so much I don’t know… :(
yes, a splash page is a “single panel” style piece. In print comics splash pages can be just a single page or even both pages of a spread. To be considered splash it needs to be a part of the story, otherwise it’s just an illustration.
Okay, thanks! ^_^
A nerf gun with a laser sight! i need to get me one of those
Amen to that bro!!
Put me down for one of those too!!
Yep, it t3h sniper nerf thing…
Dude…I gotta say I am loving the new direction AG is taking…the more serious side of things is awesome…and i’m jealous you draw prettier pictures than I do! (T_T)
j/k…keep up the awesome work!!
You’re a genius, man!
I can’t deny to feel this Splash is a little bit … sick.
Still, it’s unbelievably COOL, as well!
(I WANT THIS MAVERICK. Now. Make it two of them.)
You are one of the greatest talents in the web, keep it up.
hey Hawk awesome work dude U rock ….would love to see it as a wallpaper
is that really how Ashley see’s the world? if so that is one scarey kiddo. ^_^
I love it, I want as a wallpaper!
It is scary how many children I know that think like ashely, your image sums it up nicely
Does Ashley have no Thumbs?
Looks a bit off…
Somehow the extraordinary style of the first few Exodus-comics became more simple again… well who can blame you, those looked too good to be legal!! :D
Oh, another thing: How am i supposed to browse through the comic??
Were are the First/Previous/Next/Latest buttons??
Do i have to go to the archive now??
Great…now the thumblessness is bugging me :(
her thumbs are on the other side, however, it does appear she has 6 fingers (or 5 fingers and a thumb) on her left hand…
Is it sad i have both of those nerf guns? and i can easily name them?
No, its not sad, Nerf is badass.
What is the bigger gun that Mr. Bear is wielding? I know both of Ashley’s guns are mavericks…
Hawk, your art is ace! You know this. But where have the pupils gone? I look at Ashley (or Alice in AG-lite) and I slide deep into the white nothingness of their eyes! Waaah!
i thought that was indicative of the psycho bloodlust state that both Ashley and Mistah Bear are in
are you SURE Ashley ain’t a distant relative of Hawk???
I own that nerf gun. Its fun to ambush people with… hehe! =)
Mistah Bear is my hero.
You shouldn’t make widescreen splash pages like this if you don’t want people to beg you for wallpaper versions of it :p
Too late. We want wallpaper…we want wallpaper. Please?
Great work as always, though I’d like to see what’s above and below…just doesn’t quite look complete to me.
Mistah Bear should give Ashley a chance with the rifle.
I have to say its quite surprising to see bad anatomy in the hands. My first thoughts were that the guns were the new transformers classics megatron but a nerf guy did help design it.
PowetToys
yeah sorry for not being perfect.
is it not just that she’s manually cocking the pistols with her thumbs, and you’ve captured it just after she’s pulled back both hammers and the thumbs have slipped off ?
regardless - still a kick-ass image
especially like the scary serious expression on Mistah Bear’s face - for an inanimate soft cuddly toy, it’s just plain evil :)
inanimate…as far as we know…but…
Hope I didn’t come off as a dick; But all through art school we were always quick to point out bad anatomy to each other, because its the first thing people notice. Just trying to look out. Feel like i’ve made an enemy of one of my fav artists.
Anatomy issues aside(honestly, with such an awe-inspiring drawing, who needs thumbs?), this image is completely awesome.
But I’m afraid Ashley is no longer your most badass character. Long live Mr. Bear!
May we please have a wallpaper verion of today’s comic please? In 1920×1200, pretty please?
Creg
P.S. Thanks for giving us such quality every week. It really is appreciated.
Funny, my friends just purchased both of those NERF guns just last week. The Sniper is good, but the revolvers are a lot of fun to. They’ve been moding them recently for vetter distance and such.
I’ve had a maverick for about 8 months now… great fun… but I really, really want one of those sniper rifles… and of course this splash as a wall paper. kickass job Hawk
Is it sad if I were tell you that i currently (as in the last month or so) bought both of the gun featured in this issue, and have been having wars in the dormatories with them?
in my Junior year ^_^
…didn’t think so, phew!

For some reason this whole Ashley & Mistah Bear thing kinda reminds me of .
Damn, that didn’t work the way I intended.
