Prologue - Page 1: The Youthful Couple

Well, this is it. This project has been literally years in the making, as it's been brewing in my mind since I first finished the game in 2000 (coherent scenes that I recall to this day didn't start forming until summer of 2002). At any rate, I had been putting it off and putting it off, until finally, just this last April, when I came back to this site after a long absence and discovered that Mother 3 was soon to be released. That brought back the fanboy in me, and I wasted no time in making plans for a comic series of my favorite game in the whole trilogy - Mother 1. The mysterious elements of this game, and the uncanny landscapes which remind me of my childhood, have long held me entranced. So, I present to you what has been on paper only since April, but what has been cooking up in my mind since six years earlier.
To comment on this specific page, I'd like to admit that the introductory narrative was a bad decision on my part. For future reference, the phrase "Little did they know" automatically cheese-ifies ANY piece of fiction. George and Maria needed no formal introduction - they introduce each other. I should have used a single subtitle saying "Outskirts of a rural American town, circa 1906", but I guess it's all water under the bridge now.

I have no idea what a chest of drawers, let alone dresser drawers, is doing in a living room, but I was really having a time trying to think of living room decorations. I'm a very limited-minded person when it comes to decor, what can I say?
Also, every time I see those three exclamation marks, I hear the Metal Gear Solid sound effect in my head.

I had to do some correction work on Ninten's mom's neck in two panels. Her head was turned toward the phone, but her body was faced fully forward on the couch. It was beginning to look like the possessed house wasn't the only reason why these folks needed an exorcist...
And although it's long-forgotten, Tomato helped me figure out the whole business about Rap Phenomena... way back when I first joined the forum about three years ago. So thanks, Mato!

In starting this page, I found myself lost. I knew how I wanted this scene to culminate (you'll see what happens in the next page), but had no clue as to how to bring it about. This was one of those moments where picking up the pencil and just drawing it panel-by-panel enlightened me, so that I knew what direction to take. It was quite a miraculous touch-and-go, and I'm really pleased with how it turned out.

I've discovered something interesting about myself. I get my best humorous inspiration when it's late at night (read: early in the morning) and I'm sleep-deprived. Maybe I ought to try that from now on whenever I need to think of a good punchline for my comics.

You've always wondered what the flippant MOTHER battles would look like if translated to visual format... and here you go.
