in which 8-bit wil appears in an 8-bit sequel

  • blog

The 8-bit version of me in my 8-bit clown sweater returns to Diesel Sweeties for a sequel to yesterday's comic:


see more hipster robot webcomics and pixel t-shirts

Am I the only person who sees little gold shiny lines around 8-bit me that are awfully similar to the gold shiny lines we'd see around the gold bars in Pitfall? I ask because I have a condition that makes me see weird Atari graphics around things without warning.

I had to unbiggen the comic the same way I did yesterday and — Hey! Unbiggen! I think I just coined a perfectly cromulent word! — if you'd like to see the comic full-sized, so you can appreciate all 8-bits, you know what to do.

    Definitely Pitfallish.

    I do believe you have been perfectly captured in this strip.

    I have fallen in love with this webcomic. Thanks, Wil! Oh, and scary clown sweater is scary.

    Wasn’t unbiggification the process by which Lisa got shrunk down into Bart’s science project? I’m sure there was some form of a re-biggification ray that would have been needed to restore her 🙂

    HA! Priceless! And yes, I see them too. Perhaps I too suffer from that weird Atari graphics syndrome.

    You have a fan and he likes 8-bit graphics.
    The best part has to be the unhappy TV.

    the lines aren’t about you, man
    they’re about the sweater
    the glorious sweater
    the 8-bit version of which looks like a big block of Legos
    with your 8-bit head stuck on top, Capt. Pike-style
    i loved Pitfall and i saw a 2600 at the flea market last weekend

    Are those really Pitfall gold bar lines? I’m not sure. They very well could represent Trogdor-esque majesty. Either that or 8-bit Wil could be renamed Old Gregg because he’s got The Funk.

    I’m so glad the comic had a happy sequel! …or is this just a utopian dream?! Say it aint so!!
    BTW, you have awesome friends.

    Really, doesn’t just about everything look better in 8-bit?
