I know, I know. Double posting bad. I'm starting a new topic in this topic and don't want it associated with the above topic. Chill out.
I found a forum a bit back called the Bob and George Fan Game forum and it astonished me. Here's a forum where people are actually making games, alot of games, some small, some huge, based on the MegaMan universe! I got to thinking, why don't we have that sort of thing for StarControl? I mean, what's StarControl lacking that MegaMan has?
Simple game play? No, SCs got that. Fan base? No, albiet SCs not as popular due to the publisher dumping the project. A web comic based on the game? YES! StarControl needs a webcomic!
However, how would it be done? Re-colored sprites? We'd basicly be limited to space ships talking to each other. Could we make that funny? Original artwork. Yukki would be my choice for an artist, if the bugger had the time. (Still don't know if Yukki's a guy or girl.)
What do you think? What would you want a StarControl webcomic be like?

Ok, it's fine if you subjectively don't like it.
I was just taking issue with what seemed like your objective appraisal ('webcomic gold') being your personal preference.
Also, if you think Sluggy is 'still just a comic', then would you call, say, Reign or Akira 'still just a cartoon'?
ALSO: on the subject of an SC webcomic...
There are several possibilities, depending on what permission we can get on the art.
For example, if we have permission to use all the in-game art for non-game purposes, we could start with that and expand it over time with the same characters doing different things or separated from their environment, or variations on the standard captain portraits for different characters. Others besides the comic's author(s) could add to this sprite base.
Furthermore, it doesn't need to be one person doing all the work. We could get several volunteers who each gaurantee a small but consistent degree of contribution (one 500x200 comic every two weeks, say). Each of them could maintain a separate storyline, or they could do gag comics. Depending on the number of people, we could update with some frequency despite having no one contributor upload frequently.
And they could share resources on the art front. It might be confusing if one artist steals a character portrait from another storyline, though.
