Whose Hat is This? Coloring Book Title Page

whohat - #01
Last month, my church was doing a service project for the local crisis center, and they asked me to illustrate a coloring book for the kids. By this time, I was already deeply immersed in my "Mother" comic series for the site, and I knew from past experience that if I sidetracked myself, I might never get back around to the comic. I also knew that even if I illustrated this coloring book, my heart just wouldn't be in it unless it was something that I felt very close to. So, instead of throwing together some goofy little "See Spot Run" thing, I decided to take a tiny piece of the storyline from Mother 1 (that is, when Ninten and Lloyd bring Anna her hat) and kiddify it for all it's worth.
The irony of it all is, now there's probably a handful of kids in my hometown running around with their crayons scribbling in a coloring book based on a retro Nintendo game that never made it outside of Japan. And they don't even know it. I've brainwashed the children... :)

PERFECT 10! The score will say 1.10, but it's actually 10.

kenisu3000	Prologue - Page 18: The Verdict	kenisu - #18 The reason why Suzannah didn't vote is because women weren't allowed to vote back then. Of course, like I said before, women at a town council meeting in 1908 is kinda dicey, but I tells the story my way.	11/6/06
kenisu3000	Chapter 1 - Page 32: Inopportunity Doesn't Knock	kenisu - #32 I like the unintended effect I created in the background of the "Bad Enough Dude" panel. Ninten gloats, but very visibly behind him, the black cloud out the window has not yet departed. I didn't even catch the irony until I finished the panel. Also, I was playing around with the idea of Ninten saying "Shoot... and I thought 'The Brave Little Toaster' was farfetched!" when looking at the destroyed lamp in disgust, but I already wanted the "Bad Enough Dude" line, and I figured working in two whole retro culture references one after the other would just be in bad taste, especially considering that I've already gone over the top with those culture references! There's a couple more I want to throw in before the end of the chapter though, so just... humor me. And on a much relieved note, this is the last page to feature Ninten's room for a long time! All I can say is... THANK GOODNESS! I was getting so freaking sick of that stupid Garfield poster, and I'm sure everyone else was too.	4/19/07
kenisu3000	Chapter 1 - Page 39: Psychokinetic Realization Goes "BLAM!"	kenisu - #39 I PROMISE the battle FINALLY begins on the next page. As for the title, inspiration came from the Calvin and Hobbes collection "Scientific Progress Goes BOINK!" I had another title I wanted to use, but decided against it. What was the other title, you ask? "Feed the Childrens." Na na, na na na, hey hey, doot doot doot!	6/26/07
