Description
Quite the thrilling conclusion, eh?Honestly, I wish I could've made this story a little funnier, but it feels so good to finally have this finished and submitted. The jokes are really more cute and quaint than anything and the humor this time really took a backseat to focus on the development of Diago and Baal's relationship way back before Diago managed to escape from this secret, underground laboratory fronted by a friendly corporation selling cute pets to children.
Make of it what you will.

Yeah, I tried to give this comic a slower pace and allow for some more character development.

I'd say it was plenty funny, sir!
It was great to read this and see a bit more of the Diagoo/Baal dynamic in the Β early days. I greatly eenjoyed reading it!

Well, it's been a comic I've wanted to make for a while now, so thank you.

Man, it is rad to see the backstory on Diago. the brother is a real party animal. I mean, he is a laidback dude yet takes shit from no one.

Hahaha... What are you, trying to kiss up to him? You wanna hang out with the cool kids?
π: 0 β©: 1
I don't have to kiss his or anyone'sΒ butt. and I'm already cool.

Hahaha, of course you are, man.

It's a shame they want to strangle eachother now.It seems like they would've gotten along quite nicely
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah?
I'm not so sure I'd characterize their relationship as "quite nicely".

It's a shame I couldn't think of some funnier things for them to do, but I really enjoyed the opportunity of exploring these two characters in their younger years.

And so, begins the tale of the most emblematic and lunatic hero!
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh, Diago is "emblematic" now?

Oh, my goodness, Attack llamas add a whole level of ridiculousness to any given scene.
I enjoy seeing the two of them getting along, in some twisted fashion anyway.
π: 0 β©: 1
The llamas are always there for a good time.
Yeah, showing the two of them getting along was the main goal of this comic.

Priceless! This was a fantabular story you put together! I am definitely looking forward to reading more about these guys!

We'll see what I can come up with.

Who, you mean Baal's silhouette?
π: 0 β©: 1
Yep - he's having a Ball of a time.
π: 0 β©: 1
It's hard to tell through Baal's obligatory grumpy behavior.
π: 0 β©: 1
Naturally; but man, you KNOW when both Baal and Diago are laughing about the same thing, something -magical- has happened.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah: someone else's misery.

'Can you feel ze schadenfreude?'

They do have one thing in common: Violent pranks.
π: 0 β©: 1
It's about the only source of entertainment they have.

Ooooh Diago!

This... would be one fucked up sitcom.

Daaw! This is really nice! Diago looked up to Baal as a child. It's interesting to see Diago like that.

This was before cynicism and apathy set in.

That was a very enjoyable little tale. Well done.

I'm happy that you could enjoy it.

*snicker* this has been a fun series. Β Pity they never really see eye to eye anymore.
π: 0 β©: 1
There's a lot of things that are a pitty about Diago's childhood.
π: 0 β©: 1
No doubt. Β Lots of tragedies under the comedy.

Great set of pages, it was nice to see a little more of Diago's backstory; and his dynamic with Baal was really well done.
As you mentioned the jokes had more of a cute/quaint set up, but I think it helped with the theme of the comic. Diago trying to prove himself as a "rebel" was a funny foreshadowing, and I liked how he labeled himself on the drawing just to make sure the camera was fooled :3
It was great to see the humor go hand in hand with the character development. This is definitively up there with my personal favorite Diago comics; and hopefully we'll see more from his rebellious time at the lab.

Well thank you very much.
As I already mentioned in the artist comments, I wanted to touch a little more on the relationship they had in their younger year at the lab so that people could better understand the dynamic that exists between them today. While I've yet to reveal exactly what happened between them and why Baal hates Diago, I think this comic hints at some of the complexities in their story.
Maybe next time I'll show Diago playing with George or the tryst he had with Morgan. Unfortunately, Diago never really knew Jerry or Bree back then.

Heh, what? Something you didn't get?

No no I understood, it was just quite the endingΒ

Love seeing more backstory between Diago and Baal's early life. And the Bio-Pets division is one that I'd like to explore further in a future scene from my Deviant Universe comic one day if you're okay with it.
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh yeah, about that!
In the past, it was kind of hard integrating the Diago villains into the Deviant Universe because there all revolved around capturing Diago and that didn't leave many opportunities to have them interact with other heroes/villains.
Now I'm thinking that in the wake of the Omega event the BioPets Corporation wants to capture other metahumans so that they can study how their powers work and hopefully create better monsters.
π: 0 β©: 1
That sounds like a good idea. I was even thinking about the BioPets coorporation being the ones responsible for the all the anthros running around in the DU. Perhaps they somehow created them with their testing in some way. I'll need to check with DamnedNDelirious to see if he likes that idea as well.

Yeah, there are several artists with anthropomorphic characters.
Sounds like a fun idea, but I don't want to step on anyone's toes.

It wouldn't work for me, I feel it'll break too much of my character's cannon and origins.

It's spelled Klutz, I believe.Β But that was good for a giggle.

I don't think there's actually an "official" spelling for the word.
