Outcast Cover
🕑 Added 2018-05-12 03:03:39 +0000 UTC The second installment of Sarah Hawke's Wings of the Seraph series is out! If you're interested you can read it at Amazon right here.So fun story behind this one for me. When trying to decide on a pose for these two, I did a Google image search for romance novel covers in attempt to drum up some inspiration. During the search I saw a cover featuring a muscular man posing suggestively in front of a roaring dinosaur. The title of the book was A Billionaire Dinosaur Forced Me Gay. An hour later, when I'd finally stopped laughing, I did some digging and saw that this is indeed a real ebook sold at Amazon. I don't mean to be malicious here, as for all I know the author didn't intend for it to be funny. (Though I'd be pretty damn surprised if that were the case.)
The first in-universe show in my comic is a romantic drama called Sexy Mastodon, which Parker was watching a couple pages ago. The show itself and the line about being turned gay are a nod to the books, (yes books,) I discovered that day. And as hard as I laughed at the first one I mentioned above, there was another cover that was even funnier.
You can see it right here.

Thanks Bob!

He must be popular enough to spawn imitators then, the billionaire dinosaur one was by a guy named Hunter Fox.

Congratulations on another well deserved cover!

And it allows him to put 'Hugo-nominated Writer' on all his gay inanimate object porn books, which is just delightful. His discussions of DOMALD TROMP, crab monster from THE VOID are great as well. And it's the best kind of satire, where you're never quite sure where the line starts and stops. Either way, he made me believe LOVE IS REAL and for that, I thank him.

Oh yeah, seconding all of this. Chuck Tingle is fucking BRILLIANT. Like, a couple of years ago, some jerks decided to nominate him for a Hugo award as a form of protest (long story). Chuck Tingle then turned around and used the publicity & platform to make said jerks look like a bunch of idiots, and it all built up from there. 'cause underneath all the gay space dinosaurs and sexy bigfoots, there's actually some clever absurdist satire in there. If you don't follow Chuck Tingle on twitter, you absolutely should.

First time encountering our lord and saviousr, Chuck Tingle, huh? I don't know if he's for real, he's certainly committed to the joke at least, but the world's definitely a better place with him in it.

Haha, yeah, I was asking about that "Mastodon turned me GAY!" bit in Parker's first appearance. Very funny :). Like this drawing, even if it IS PG. Bloobs are among the best kind of boobs :).

Hah... As soon as I read the title, I knew it had to be Chuck Tingle. XD And yes, he absolutely intends it to be funny. My favorite/funniest are "Pounded in the Butt by My Own Butt" and "Pounded in the Butt by My Book 'Pounded in the Butt by My Own Butt'", starring "Buck Trungle". As for your actual cover here: you do some real hot unnaturally-colored babes, Reinbach, and I definitely think the pose works. Keep it up.
