#38 - The GnatCams Are Watching!

Ta-Da! Another one colored! This one was pretty fast and easy to color, after all.
If you haven't figured it out yet, The Black Gnat is the SuperMilo universe's answer to Batman. I can use him to make fun of and fun with familiar Batman jokes and stereotypes. I'm glad that I feel Black Gnat is entirely his own character despite this. I don't know much about Black Gnat yet, but I'm introducing a little of what I've decided today: his sidekick is a fat boy in a legless costume named, "Larvae Lad" (the boy, not the costume). He also works with his maid Winifred who is a parody spoof of both Alfred and the Green Hornet's limo driver (who is awesome) "whatever-his-name-is" (what was his name again?). She however sees this just as a job she answered to from the want-ads. Chances of her fighting like Bruce Lee or being a medic like Alfred are zilch to none. During the day, she's Larvae Lad's nanny who makes him do his homework and gives him grilled cheese sandwiches. If you have a job opening, she might just leave those weirdos to take it, ha ha.
The two characters appear here in the not-yet-named in strip, "Gnat Pond," the soggy and damp secret hideout of The Black Gnat. Oh my gosh!
If you missed it, the Gnatmobile appeared in a photo of Tigger's case file. It is fully designed and drawn in my sketch books and will appear during the origin story series within the main Misadventures of SuperMilo series. Which may or may not come soon! Dun dun dunnnn!
If you like what you see, please comment! Thanks! See you next Saturday!


EDIT (07-26-2013): I changed the background coloring in the third panel and re-uploaded the image today.
