Anyhow...enough about all that.

Here is the coloring i promised Dalton.

2 versions, because i'm nice that way.

Spoiler

One regular version, and one with a Christian themed frame (this painting).

Spoiler

I wanted to make it awesome and a bit dark, but when i was….

”Y’know what? No. It’s time to take my ”Jesus” jokes one step further.

And this is my masterpiece. My Magnum Opus. My Anthem. My pinnacle. This is THE Jesus joke.

It's all Jesus and symbolic grenades.

Y’know, since the Saviors threw it, and they think of themselves as Gods, so it’s technically symbol for a ”gift from God”?

And Jesus is all ” No, God. Take your gift back from the heavens from whence you came! ”
.....

Man, i'm going to hell for this, aren't I?

.....

Well, after this, i can say that i have no regrets.



Anyhow, I will upload them in my coloring thread later with some more to say about the process of making them.

I think Dwight wants his "treachery" to mean something to Negan. Negan has slighted him at every chance- add that to the Sherry and ironing thing, I think Dwight wants Negan to see him and regret his underestimation.- Remember I'm talking from Dwight's POV. Not mine. I still think Dwight will fuck it up somehow.

PT- I still wonder why Jesus chose to omit the Negan info- and if he has a plan of his own..

[DaneBramage]

That might be but these guys are not the brightest bulbs in the lamp i am sure they could be distracted somehow or hell even paid off in someway maybe with the promise of more power in the group or points.

They seem to not be as loyal to negan as we are lead to belive when we were shown the inner workings of the sanctuary.

Most just seemed to be going with the motions like the hilltop people that just did whatever Gregory said or doing Negans bidding to keep their families alive and well with enough points to live.

The point system really could keep people dling shit they dont want to do i see it as a commentary on the american money system.

Actually Negan's model is more of a Socialistic model- I have been saying this from day one.

All serve the greater good of all- either earning points mopping the floor, cooking, etc. - or serve as Conscripts in Negan's Army. As as was in Soviet Russia, Communist China and North Korea today-the Army get the top benefits the best food and apparently drugs and alcohol- Negan being the Leader gets the most.

Sorry went a little OT but that's the flaw with socialism in this society- GREED- and an easy bribe could work- hell something simple like a set of twins...

They made such a big fuss about jesus telling the "truth" that they dedicated a few pages to him making them "trust" him.

After gaining that trust jesus betrays it by taking rick to the hilltop and getting them messed up in this garbage without giving him the whole "truth" about the communitys.

[DaneBramage]

Still suspicious of the J man? I still wonder in the back of my head if this isn't his manipulation for a power grab...

[theblackboxlies]

I don't see Jesus being power hungry honestly. I think he omitted information about Negan & the Saviors along with the Kingdom specifically because Rick already didn't trust him when Jesus first came to ASZ. Hell, Rick knocked him out and tied him up and kept him prisoner for 1-2 days, so Jesus had to calculate what he told Rick very carefully because for all Rick knew, he was one of this Negan guys men and Rick would have no qualms about killing him, and it was certainly in Jesus' best interest to not be killed while trying to make a connection with RIck & the ASZ. I think Jesus has had a plan all along to unite the communities so they stood a chance against Negan and his army of dimwits. Again though, I think the plan is for good and not so Jesus can cap Rick in the ass and takeover when all is said and done. I feel he is truly behind Rick and on his side. Wouldn't that be a plot twist though if at the end of AOW, Jesus just shoots Rick in the head. Haha

[JesusMonroe]

It was manipulation

Jesus went to Rick asking if he wanted to trade with Hilltop. This clearly isn't true considering Hilltop was barely running with the amount they were giving to the Saviors. He obviously couldn't just go up to Rick and say, "I need you to help me kill this guy." He enticed Rick with goods. Then when Rick finds out about Negan LATER, he's more willing to help now that he's seen everything the Hilltop has accomplished.

Does that Jesus an asshole? Somewhat, but he was looking out for the interests of his people. Rick asked the not heavily trained Kingdom to go to war with him and got most of them killed

[DaneBramage]

I know logically It makes sense that he would withold that information because if Rick had known what he was getting in to, he would have refused protecting his people's interests first. That makes sense....

[hotdogabel]

Jesus could have told rick about Negan and Kenneth and Gregory and Ezekiel all at once. Explained the situation. With a little info , rick could have entered this "trade network " with more infirmation

[hotdogabel]

I still wonder about Kenneth . Was it determined to be z misprint?

[JesusMonroe]

It was a misprint since it was changed to Gregory in book 8

[daltonwb25]

I'll get to it.

I might even color the whole page, as the awesomeness of that page is hard to cointain merely by coloring that specific panel.

We'll see when it is done, but i'll get to it right now.

And ''Kool'', huh?


.....

It's not as snappy as ''Koi'' but it's nice.

Hmm...yes, i like it.

You may continue using it.

Thanks.

Wow. I've been reading your username wrong this whole time. Haha. For some reason I thought it was Koolbito.

I'll keep with Kool now but man I feel dumb haha.

Love it. Awesome couple panels there. Saving on my phone right....now

Eh, well, i'll explain it once more (i explained my name in another thread, but i'll do it again here. The explanation is in depth, so it makes it very clear it's supposed to mean.)

Spoiler

I specifically took the name from a certain nickname and quote from the manga/anime, Detective Conan.

Around 2:41 is a good point if you want to get right to the action and the quote.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4ZfokLCMBI



These two characters....Akai and Gin (which is a nickname, since his actual name hasn't been revealed.)....well, to put it shortly, hate eachother, since Gin murdered Akai's girlfriend in cold blood and Gin hates him for....well, being an FBI spy. In this specific episode, at one point when Gin and his people are going to asssinate Kogorou Mouri, Akai shoots a transmitter out of Gin's hands, and he then Akai fires a bullet that passes through Gin's scope and grazes his left cheek causing it to bleed like he is crying.

And then Akai says "we finally meet, my lovely, lovely koibito-san". Aoyama Gosho uses a japanese literary device to give the word "koibito" a double meaning. Japanese in Detective Conan includes the pronunciation, called "furigana", in hiragana next to the kanji. Normally the furigana matches the word in the kanji; however, Gosho used the kanji for "old enemy" (宿敵), but the furigana for "koibito" (こいびと), giving Akai's word a double meaning. The true meaning of what Akai meant is "old enemy", but what he said out loud was the furigana "koibito". In effect Akai had nicknamed Gin "loved one".

So my name both means old enemy and loved one. Or '' lover ''.

And just as an sidenote, but Gin is a large part in why i love Jesus.

He was the character that made me fucking dig guys that rocks trenchcoats and has long hair.

I mean....look how fucking perfect Gin's hair is. Look at it.

For someone who's whole deal is to hide in the shadows and be all hush-hush about letting authority know of his very existence, he has the most gorgeous and least ''hush-hush'' hair ever.

[bkottond]

I should start using 'My dick is a full boner' as a real saying..... Wonder how that'll turn out.

But seriously, Davis should have lived and why was he only introduced in 120.

I think you will get the same reaction out of people, i did when i started saying "let's fuck this dog" like abe. I got nothing but wierd/dirty looks from people. Hell , a coworker came and asked me if it was a reference to beastieality act that i was into... All and all i dont care about what others think of me, but just a funny response

[Koibito]

Third repost's the charm, ehh?



Edit: Thats better. I fully understand. I have done the same thing sometimes. Just teasing you abit is'all.

[bkottond]

I still wonder about Kenneth . Was it determined to be z misprint?

Like jesusmonrow is correct. Is was changed to Gregory in the hardcovers... When though it was brought up in 120' letter hacks, that Gregory is just so into him self, and that is why he doesn't know/remember names. I have suspicious, that its more of a insider joke, that the fact Gregory's name was mis printed/Kenneth when Jesus first mentioned him. It seems that THis, is more of a good reason, than what RK, said. But we all know how he rarely owns up to his mistakes in this book.... IMO

[Officer_Friendly]

Before this issue, I had been reading the comics online for free because I was too cheap and lazy to actually purchase them. Upon the release of the latest issue, I decided to change my ways. So today, I drove to my nearest comic book store and picked up issue 120 along with the 10th anniversary edition of the first issue. Two excellent issues to begin my collection.

[DaneBramage]

Dude get the fuck out of my head. I've been saying that too. Damn PT for using that for his sig. No one has commented on it yet. Everyone thinks I'm a kook anyway....

[mADAM Scorpious]

To me, "let's fuck this dog" sounds so weird especially in its context. When people from the industry around me say someone is "fucking the dog" at work it means theyre a lazy and unproductive worker, & an entire work crew of unproductive workers is reffered to as a puppy mill.

Is the consensus here that Olivia is caucasian? I always believed her to be african american because of the shading.

Walking Dead Wiki has her ethnicity labeled as Caucasian-American.

I always thought she was a ginger.....

So...wait, you thought Olivia was black because of her shading?

So....this....



Is the same as this....
