Man, Sam Adams must be a lameo. Or maybe he just likes boy bands. I’m referring to Hanson during the “MMMBop” days, as whatever they’re up to now I wouldn’t know. I’m keeping it that way too.
“Mr. Blue ‘hawk” almost needs anger management classes. Who is this guy anyway, right?

Excited, Paul leaps up and starts running down the hill towards the city, “They’ve already started! Let’s Go!”
Allen pulls at Paul’s coat collar and jerks him back, “OH NO YOU DON’T!”
Angry, Allen holds Paul up by the collar and warns him, “You are not going down there! It’s dangerous! I’m not teaching you how to play the guitar so you can waste your talent with Sam Adams!”
He sets Paul down and says smugly, “Besides, can’t you hear what each side is playing? The colonists are covering a Hanson song. The British are doing a Beatles song. It’s going to be a MASSACRE down there.”
Paul is taken back, “Wow, Hanson, really? What is Sam Adams thinking?!”
Allen replies, “Well, I guess he’s not. I need to go down there and fix this.”
Paul watches with admiration behind his friend and whispers to himself, “You are so cool!”
Allen starts walking down the hill leaving Paul behind with the Fender Stratocaster. Looking back, he reassures his friend, “Keep the guitar, I’ll get it tomorrow.”
Paul, visibly stressed, admits, “Aw, my mom’s going to kill me if I come home with this. She hasn’t even seen my hair yet.”

Hahahah this is looking AWESOME! Paul is so adorable.
i am really interested to see how all this plays out. Keep up the great work ^_^
@Jesus – Thanks! I’m excited to post page #3 as it really sets the motion for the whole story.
@Loppi – Thanks again! I’m trying to make him look extra cute as he’s supposed to be 11 years old here.
I need to start listening to more music. I don’t even know anything about hanson.
I swear I’ll do some research soon.
oh, and hilarious expressions are hilarious.
@SGYDK Haha, I wouldn’t feel bad about not knowing who Hanson is, if I were you. I’d actually count you among the lucky. Don’t worry, you’re not missing anything good. :)
haha I love paul’s expressions. I can’t wait to see the next page!
Love all the character work too. I want to see the whole band.
wait he is 11? looks older oh well -.-
@Jesus Oh crap! Really? I usually have the problem of making everyone look too young. Oh well, we’re time skippin’ soon enough. His design will work better in pages to come.
I was totally picturing “MMMbop”. I love how the trees are rendered for some reason…<3
sweet i can’t wait ^_^
Hahaha Hanson!! Whenever it comes to Hanson I just think of the Hanson CD my sister played over and over when she was in middle school. T_T
I’ve just started on this series… It’s a great idea and super fun art. I can’t wait to see more!
Thanks so much for reading! :D
alllleeen teehee
I’m only two pages in and I’m already loving the pop culture references! Hanson…*shudder… my collaborator freaking loves Hanson. It’s only a matter of time before she writes them into our comic…
Wtf currently listens to rickroll! I’ve read up until the part wher *SPOILER ALERT DO NOT READ ANY FURTHER UNLESS YOU ALREADY FOUND OUT WHO IS THE BRITS SOLDIER WITH THE BANDANA* I’m not even gonna say it, I like the characters, I like the general idea, love the design nd bands I’ve heard about from here, but the battles don’t have rules, not even rules that can be broken, no code, no explanation, just pushing each other from the mic, the twins nd some random guy from the opposing side can scare away the army by… Playing? I dunno, maybe I would have liked it more if there were at least lyrics or something instead of the random undefined notes, sorry if I’ve been a snob
Rickroll is there as a joke.
You certainly don’t have to like the comic. Thanks for reading. The way I’ve handled the battles up to this point are purposely not organized and have no rules. I wanted to capture the chaos and unorganized manner of the actual battles in history. I’m coming up on Bunker Hill in the current storyline and you will see that is different in that aspect.
I’ve never been keen with writing lyrics for the songs. I don’t think that it would add anything. I like to leave the sound of it up to the reader.
i got the joke, twas kinda funny ^u^ even though i don’t read the comic i return here occasionally for song recommendations, i still like the concept you’ve invented here
I like how you did the snow. I may steal that technique.
I really like drawing snow. It’s been a while now.
