My friend, shivaindis said that this comic needed to be made. I have fulfilled my duty and made it. It's brief and brilliant. Well, maybe not brilliant. It's rather stupid, actually. But at least it is brief.
So, recently homestarrunner.com made an amusing toon about the fourth of july called "Happy Fireworks." You might want to view it here before continuing--otherwise you might be kind of lost.
So my friends and I were discussing Final Fantasy VII and character deaths, and how Aeris wouldn't be as popular as she is if she hadn't died since her character is basically a Mary Sue (for non fanfic readers, a Mary Sue is a character who is a little too perfect in every way--there's a bit more to it than that, but that's good enough for now). We even went so far as to say Aeris isn't much more exciting than a piece of cardboard. Then we remembered "Happy Fireworks" and the rest is history. Add to the cardboard thing that it's a common thing in roleplaying games for the main character to never talk though everyone always understands what they "say" and replies to them, and we have a strange scenario.
You can view my mini comic silliness here.

Omigod. What the frell? LOL! Quite funny! How long did it take you to do that?
Well, I worked on it over lunch thursday and friday. I made two drafts. But, really, I didn't take all that much time on it--which probably shows in the fact that it doesn't make a whole lot of sense. But I really enjoyed the panel with Barret all confused. I had fun making it.
... There's nothing funnier than a cardboard cutout of a dead flower girl skewered on some psycho mutant/ubermensch's sword. Right?
