[blog] Year 3, Comic 3 - Meet the Falconers

★ Notes on Year 3, Comic 3 - Meet the Falconers ★

☆ ☆ ☆ NOTES ☆ ☆ ☆

✓ What are those Falconers Faceoffs Bitty was talking about? Tons of NHL teams have weird games or interviews that their public relations teams put together. Who knew Jack had a mean crayon game? ETA: Or is Tater just terrible at drawing?? (“Tater, the logo’s on that wall over there.” “OH, SO YOU CHEAT???”)

✓ Please tell me more about this "Tater” guy. Alexei Mashkov is a grown man who actively responds to the name “Tater”.

Marty, probably, circa 2010: Good shift, Tater Tot!!
Mashkov: What is tater tots?
Marty: Uh, it’s like a food. Tiny potatoes?
Tater: Hahaha tiny potatoes.

Tater is 6'4". (Jack is 6'1"!) He is tall and gangly and has long arms and puts these arms around peoples’ shoulders to befriend them. He also uses these arms to punch forwards in the face if they’re messing with Snowy. He’s friendly.

✓ Okay, but those other Falconers?? Guy, Marty, Thirdy, Snowy, and Poots? Where are they from? What are their favorite foods? What are their hopes and dreams? Well, we probably know them as well as Bitty does at the moment. (Or as well as Jack, for that matter–new coworkers, right?) And that’s not even all of them, oy.

✓ Bitty is taking French? He said this before when his Twitter was public! Jack can’t help Bitty study too much since he’s speaking that Quebecois, but he also can’t help Bitty study because Bitty never studies. Baking > Learning

✓ Who is this March lady that Ransom is not calling? Oh, you mean the girl Holster mentioned as he lovingly flung Ransom under public transport? That’s March from, gosh, like a dozen or so updates ago.

✓ HEY. And where’s Shitty? Oh, he’ll show up soon! He has to put down torts to see his bros play hockey eventually doesn’t he?

“☆ UPDATES: When will the next updates be after these four? I’ll be moving, so there’s gonna be a delay in updates after this batch. I also have to concentrate on convention prep! I will have a better idea in May, but I’m hoping to get the next 3-4 comics out in June.

☆ SwarmCon and TCAF are upcoming conventions! I’m packing whatever I can bring and selling for as long as I can. Please, drop on by!
