A Loonatics Tale

Talking to Myself Page 31

And now we have some lab staff introduced! Going top to bottom:

Dr. Jasper Zinc: His design is based on Pete from Steamboat Willie, for his relating temper and size.

Dr. Edgar Silicon: Can't have Pete without Steamboat Willie, right? Silicon got a more Willie/Mickey based one for his size and his rather carefree attitude.

Rodger Barium: Based loosely on the old designs from Casper the Friendly Ghost, with the longer body and nose. If this wasn't black and white, it'd be red.

Dr. Liam Radium: Only those who got the collection book will probably know who this guy is. He's mostly into coding and artificial intelligence. His design is based on a mix of Felix the Cat and Popeye.

Radium would've been totally Popeye with his notorious brawling and badassery had Flint not imagined himself like that, so mixed in some Felix too since Felix in the old days was known for getting into trouble constantly and stealing things.

Want to read some extra Loonatic's Tale comics? I'm doing a complete redo of Job Hunting, but I won't be uploading it to DrunkDuck until it's all done (because otherwise it'll futz with the navigation). Instead, I will be putting it on my DeviantArt here for now until finished.
