Cartoon and Conquer #13: You might be wondering the same thing as the general, why are they chasing a pig through the camp? This is actually the second episode of a short story arc. Each strip will have its own joke that need not be read in order, but is in fact a progressive storyline. In the first part, Nod tricked the GDI halfwits into fighting over who was manlier. This kind of escalated into this week's episode in which they asked themselves, What is manlier than catching a greased pig with your bare hands? Next on October 28.

Cartoon and Conquer #2: Annoying comments by Nmenth: This strip was originally going to continue in the Tiberium universe with the same three characters from #1, but the joke here is not dependant on the presence of Tiberium and I was also having some trouble placing the three Tiberium guys' personalities (as I imagine them at this point) in this scene, so I decided it was better to go Red Alert on this one. I think these three will also be regulars, except in the Red Alert universe instead. I actually considered doing a side joke wherein there would always be three main characters for Nod, GDI, Allies, and Soviet, but they would all actually be the same three guys with identical names and personalities, but canceled that idea as I feel it would become an obstacle against me in future strips. Another minor note, the name of this strip is Cartoon and Conquer not Cartoon & Conquer. I have gone with this because the font I used for the main logo renders the "&" symbol as a single character that reads as "and". When I saw it, I realized I preferred it that way and considered that although the strip is C&C themed, I don't really want to bind myself to the series in absolutely every way possible and this is a subtle sign that I am freely creating this from my own mind and originality with no obligation to C&C itself. Cartoon and Conquer #3 will be posted on the 27th. If I am late, you all will get to write angry messages to me if you want.

I've been planning on doing this for ages now, a C&C-themed cartoon strip. As I foresee it, it will feature both Red Alert and Tiberium universe scenarios, and perhaps some of the well known people in the games, but I hope to make a majority of the cast be my own inventions without preset personalities and storylines. Since I am lazy, I don't know how often I can produce these, but I imagine once a month shouldn't be too much to expect out of myself, and not so much that I become overwhelmed. To reduce the time and effert, I will use a fairly simplistic art style. So without further delay, here is Cartoon & Conquer #1: These guys will probably become regulars (in the Tiberium universe), and maybe eventually get names too. The first joke isn't too elaborate, but I want to kind of introduce the characters and get a better feel for the environment before I dive in to write more complex material. Anyway, let me know what you think.
