lol
nice job.
i think mentl’s hats to big.
April 1st, 2010 at 1:32 am
I think that’s the point Cap.
Though The gal looks a bit thin to be Zona…
April 1st, 2010 at 2:51 am
I like it, nicely done. Though like Adam, I think the girl’s a bit on the skinny & short side to be Zona.
April 1st, 2010 at 11:47 am
Nice!
Like to take a DICKtation with her.
Mentl needs a bigger gun.
April 1st, 2010 at 3:21 pm
but hans, big guns are for men who need that extra bang for compensation, or are fixin’ to lay down suppressing fire…
April 1st, 2010 at 4:24 pm
Heh, exactly.
Though I literally meant bigger model. It looks like a .45 but has the dimensions of a .22.
At least from my somewhat amateurish point of view, watching guns on the TV/movies for only 30 years or so.

the captain - It’s an oversized fedorah, not unlike one or two I have and wear myself.
AdamZero and The MacNut - She is the same model as in the teaser with the same settings and morphs. I kid thee not. It illustrates (literally) how much difference the angle and lens settings make.
hans - Possibly, It’s a Colt 1911 model I downloaded that wasn’t to scale, and I had to eyeball it to manually scale it Mentl’s hand. Nonetheless, having a couple full-size replicas myself, I will say that most people’s idea of the size of a .45 is inflated because they only see it in dramatic angles meant to play up its sexy dangerous side as though its muzzle was like an Imperial Cruiser crawling into the screen. It’s not a terribly large gun for all its power, and slips neatly into a shoulder holster.
You want a BIG gun? Here:

Perhaps it’s just me; but Zona looks downright ghostly in that shot. Too monochromatic, I guess.
April 2nd, 2010 at 12:36 am
It’s Zona Bacall! Random thought, is Zona’s voice as deep as Lauren’s?
April 2nd, 2010 at 2:28 am
My first thought was that Mom fit better in B&W. I thought it was Ipola.
April 2nd, 2010 at 2:32 am
Heh, speaking of perceived size, I thought it was funny that everyone was so hot for 9mm that could handle 15ish rounds, until concealed carry made its comeback and suddenly all those extra bullets in a staggered mag made their babies too fat and good old 7 shot M1911 has the edge because it is so much thinner.
April 2nd, 2010 at 6:46 am
Nice gun. Adequate I´ll say.
As for Zona´s voice, excellent question. Definitely nothing high pitched barbie like. How About Stana´s voice from Castle?

Bacall is too low, IMHO. Much more fitting for Ipola.

Cool!! I like it!!
April 2nd, 2010 at 9:40 am
Mentl needs to learn better trigger control. booger hook off the bang switch until the sights are on the target!
April 2nd, 2010 at 10:26 am
Weremensh - The dress is red velvet, and so there’s a general softness, a lack of contrast that turns it into a light pearly gray in BW. I experimented with contrast, and could turn it up a notch. I liked it, WCIS.
SamuraiDemonPuppy - Zona definitely has a full-throated woman’s voice, not a little girl’s. While certainly not Bea Arthur, it’s closer to Rosalind Russell than Betty Bacall.
Kamatu - Well, we’ll have to get Ipola into something vampy and Mae West-ish.
hans - What, the S&W 500? Oh, yeah. Good for plinking at cans and stuff. Apparently it’s huge but as far as recoil is concerned, it’s not some Tex Avery joke. Reviews say it actually is as easy on the shooter as a Python, or maybe even better. And it’s great for taking down gonthargs at 25 yards. Just the sort of thing for the coming zombie apocalypse.
Black Ethel - If you’re happy, I’m tickled to death.
Nomen Nescio - One supposes so. Just a detail of posing I neglected. Used a canned “gun” hand pose and should have straightened his finger.

i’ve seen a S&W 500 under glass in my local gun store, and “huge” is a good word. heck, even for the ammo it’s a good description. i didn’t ask to pick it up, but i seriously doubt i would be able to keep that much metal balanced in my hands for very long. looked more like a hand and forearm exerciser than a firearm, almost…
April 2nd, 2010 at 12:03 pm
I had to post for the first time after seeing this. Very nice and well done! My favorite of the calendars so far.
April 3rd, 2010 at 1:05 pm
very very cool, can you do more of this comic? heh.
April 3rd, 2010 at 4:55 pm
I too have seen the S&W 500 in my local gun store. It’s a monster! I asked the clerk what it was used for and he told me it was a big game gun. As in if the big game is charging you and you have one last chance to save your ass then this is the gun you use.
Also, I love the April calender. As a fan of old movies I really like this one.
April 5th, 2010 at 12:13 pm
Pulp Noir being one of my favourite genres I really wouldn’t mind such a sexy, well-written and action-packed webcomic from the 30ies…
April 6th, 2010 at 1:32 pm
JD= are you familiar with the “Garrett, P.I.” series from Glen Cook? I read one over a weekend and had to get ALL of them! It’s about a former soldier who sets up shop as a private investigator- in a fantasy setting with wizards, elves, gnomes, ogres, etc. It’s a great read- and the fantasy twist makes me envision a fun TV series (with Bruce Campbell as the lead- his self-narration would be BACON…)
April 10th, 2010 at 10:29 am
Yes, Glen’s “Nor Crystal Tears” was one of his best. Mentyl’s essemble is missing something though, the shoulder rig for the gat he’s flashing.
April 10th, 2010 at 2:07 pm
@Stormhawk: do you mean “Cold Copper Tears”? He hasn’t published any Garrett novels with “Crystal” in the name: his motif is always .
*I* love the fact that he never goes looking for love, yet a whole STRING of hotness falls into his lap. (did I say “string”? More like an incomplete tapestry)
April 10th, 2010 at 9:34 pm
Nor Crystal Tears is an SF novel by Alan Dean Foster and has nothing whatsoever to do with detectives, hard boiled or otherwise.
@RC: Did you mean to say “adjective metal noun” in regards to the titles of the Garrett novels?
April 12th, 2010 at 9:08 pm
No, no, no. For Zombie Apocalypse you need to keep to the old reliable standards: .38, .357mag and .30-06 (nicely enough any .357 can handle .38 rounds). You could do a sideline in some 5.56 and maybe a 7.62 or 9mm, but the three rounds I mentioned first are far and away the easiest to find and all will do the job if you want to pop a round into what is left of a brain to finish it off.
April 20th, 2010 at 10:57 am
Very stylish, JED.
I like the new calendar.
As for the guns… Well, that’s not a topic I know much about. Not like I own one or know people, who do. (Not that I can think of, anyway). And I’m quite happy about that.
