This comic is the result of a conversation I had with David Willis during Dallas Animefest. After seeing a veritable “sea of abs” in the anime artwork displayed around us, we decided that this should be the basis of an entire anime universe.
Feel free to use the comments to expand on the narrative above with characters, back stories and other anime tropes that might fit nicely into our new, glistening abdomiverse.
NEWS!
- HE Book 2 Preorders will begin soon! There will be another Ultimate Fancy Pack that is even more ultimate and fancier than before. Remember that the preorders are what determines of the book ACTUALLY GETS MADE OR NOT, so please consider being one of the early orderers… orderees? Watch this space for details.
- New Products for the Holidays! I am working on offering some new things this year including greeting cards. If you have something from HE that you would like to see in a greeting card, now is the time to speak up. I am also in the process of moving my comic prints over to Topatoco, which means comic prints will be available with shirts and books and they will be larger. I’ve always thought the comics looks best when they are full resolution (about 14″ wide) and you guys never really get to see them like that. Now you will!
I do not believe in this "sea of abs" you claim you saw. I require verification. PICS PLZ
emailed. Dont want to post online as not to offend the artists of the original abs.
The 3rd mini ab panel killed me.
It's the look on his face that got me! Smug douche.
I, myself, have one ab. I call it FL.
Ab guy 2 seems like a pirate. An ab pirate? That steals ab related paraphernalia? Or overthrew the ab king, which was ab guy 1's father.
No, the king ab-dicated.
I wish I could give you more "thumbs up"s for that.
I give them on your behalf.
I just finished re-reading GYFB, did the math and hoped another book was coming soon. Woohoo! I look forward to giving you more of my money.
I will absolutely be buying Vol 2… hopefully I will be able to convince Joel that I should receive book #13 again, for continuity with my Vol 1?
How sad is that? You basically summed up the whole shōnen genre in few panels.
Next up: Yaoi doujinshi of these two! With added tentacles.
You could have made them Vampires and it would have been twice as utterly cringy……….Well Done!
The pitiful-abs loser reminds me of Stinkoman 20X6.
"Is this some sort of challeeeenge?!!?"
the crunch chamber is chuck norris' next pet fitness equipment project
“You fool…after I defeated your father, I ate him to absorb his massive abdominal power! That is why you are no match me! And now, I will eat you and absorb your power as well!! MU-WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!”
There can be only one?
When one Abmaster defeats another, the victor receives the loser's CRUNCHENING?
No, I think that's from a children's cereal commercial…
Yeah, this has been done before with paleness and abbage and paleforce and bishounenosity, but…
Abo-mo-scope…
seems like the basis for a YAOI version of DBZ and….i just made this marketable didn't it DAMN IT
And then they had sex.
Hot, hot ab sex.
While wrestling.
And crying.
Then they had to be separated from each other and continue to fight on opposite sides of the cause. 5 years and many secret but brief trysts later, the good guy defeated the bad guy, and lay crying over is lov-emies corpse.
Joel,
"Adbomoscope"
I think you meant "Abdomoscope".
Love,
