Paintball Comic Strip
Here is another of my Psychedelic Squirrels paintball comic strips. Every paintball team I have ever played for has had their own way of identifying and passing the most critical information for a field or match. Over time some “bunker” names have become universal. If someone says “the snake”, “dog house” and “Dorito” everyone knows which bunkers they are talking about, whether or not you have ever played the field.
Why have those names become universal? Heck if I know, but it probably has to do with the ease by which the name relays the shape and therefore it is easy to identify.
Back to the Paintball Comic
There is more than ten years between the last Psychedelic Squirrels paintball comic I posted and this one, you might have noticed many changes. Some of those obvious changes are that it is much simpler, which allows me to create them faster, everyone is wearing a full mask and goggles, and the colors are BRIGHT.
I actually spent quite a bit of time redesigning all of the characters to be easier to identify no matter how small I drew them, which meant making them simpler, and eliminating unimportant detail, which makes it faster to draw… Oh and I made it more legible… I always thought the old ones were hard to read.
Will there be another Paintball Comic?
I leave that up to you. I am not sure if I will continue doing this paintball comic, it takes a lot of my time, but I really do enjoy coming up with them, so who knows, maybe I will just create them as time allows, unless you talk me into creating them more often.
