Character Page

A little bit of character interaction:

The Hot Fudge Sundae Adventure Club.  Issue 18.  Page 9.  www.torcpress.com

Because I like to run things into the ground, here's a breakdown of the page, panel by panel:

Panel 1:  What I like about this panel is that Tea Cup and PlatOmega have only known each other for a very short time and they're already drinking buddies.  I like that.  One of the running themes of HFSAC has been friendship, and what ended the Original HFSAC was the deterioration of the friendship between Cactus Joe and El Exclamation Point!  In one of Electric Cherry's early appearances, she hits on the Clown.  For a time she was gonna be a possible love interest for the Clown, but then Tei Harlequin came along.  So, never one to squander an opportunity, turns out that Tea Cup and Electric Cherry get along quite well.  We'll see how that develops.

Panel 2:  The thing to remember about Eyemo and Eyemii (pronounced Eye-Moe and Eye-Mee), is that they used to be regular Harbingers.  Harbingers have no personalities of their own.  So, now that they're Arch-Harbingers, they've got personalities of their own.  But they're not really used to it yet.  Poor Eyemo obviously has the hots for Eyemii, but he doesn't really know how to hit on her.  And Eyemii has no idea that she is being hit upon.  It's a bit sad, really.

Panel 3:  Man, I am glad to have Los Super Hip Bros back again.  The two years they were gone were not as much fun.  Anyway, PSYCHEDELIC DANCE PARTY!  EVERYONE DANCE!  (I'm not kidding, get up from your computer and start dancing!  Life is too damn short!)

Panel 4:  Notice how Tei Harlequin refers to Darkwatcher as "Professor".  Just a tiny hint to the nature of their previous relationship. 

Panel 5:  Throw away panel, but I agree with the Clown's sentiment.  It's nice to be off having kooky adventures again.
