So since Anchovy has grown significantly, does that mean Pepperoni's bigger too now?

*neatoman* · 07-28-2018, 03:04 AM

In the preview for Hit the Road, Rocksteady cuts off his ear when it's turning human again, because he thinks it's infected. While it's funny joke, is he just going to run around without an ear from now on? Or does it come back somehow?

On a more serious note, Ravenwood seems to think Bebop and Rocksteady started out as a regular warthog and rhino. How complete does the EPF's research tend to be?

Hey, Bobby. I love how the Urban Legends issues mention Erik Larsen's ownership of the Savage Dragon characters in the legal indicia. But a few other people had their creator-owned characters make appearances in that series. Please tell Justin and co. to add these legal notices (by issue):

Hello, Bobby!

After the publication of the preview, I wanted to ask you to upload only Ravenwood's concept art.

Now we know that she is not an ordinary human and it is very interesting for me to see the strange purple stripes on her body closer. At first I thought that these were ordinary tattoos, like the Purple Dragons. But now I think that this is something else. If she is a mutant, it explains why she is loyal to the mutants. But Bishop hates mutants and it's very strange how she can work in the EPF. So many questions...

Will Dark Water play any further role in the comic? Its an organization with potential that I was pleasantly shocked to see reemerge. There is always the Megavolt plot, but I would just like to see any further development of Dark Water.

Isn't it literally their job to keep track of that stuff? Why wouldn't they already have that information?

You've done it with Ghostbusters - only you can do it with Jurassic Park!!! All the movies, comics, action figures, video games - put all togther in one book and make money! Everybody loves dinosaurs!

And what is with Xenozoic? Will there be a continuation by Mark Schulz? You have the publishing rights as well!

I don't think we have the Jurassic World license at this time, though I could be wrong. And I have no clue about Xenozoic!

A python if I recall correctly, but that would be a question for Ian.

Most likely! Not solicited yet, so it could change. Definitely early 2019.

Probably not! They could be different ages, different rates of growth and remember that Anchovy has been much more involved in Bebop & Rocksteady's time jumping. (all of which is a way of saying: keeping it flexible for artists!)

Rocksteady's ear may or may not be referenced later in the story, so i'll keep quiet on that! As for the EPF's research, it would be pretty thorough but prone to the same mistakes any bureaucracy is.

Will try, but no promises-- i'm usually too busy during the work day and during the weekend I don't have access to the image!

No plans that I know of, unless Tom has something cooking in the back of his brain, but will keep it in mind!

OK, no problem. Thank you!)
Maybe you'll just say, is it a tattoo or not? I will be grateful to you.

I think I'd literally squeal with delight if this is how future!Shredder's mutant clone army from Turtles in Time #4 comes to be and we build up to a very similar future, with some changes, of course. Especially now that Shredder is almost guaranteed to come back from the dead and bring his red oni mask with him...

Anchovy is a velociraptor which are tiny, he was meant to be his full size when I drew him but maybe Ben and Dustin made him a deinonychus or utahraptor or something instead and he'll get big?? And Pepperoni is a protoceratops so she's already at more or less full size, too.

Thanks! I used to know all about dinosaurs when I was a wee lad but terrible memory + pop culture has muddled details since then, and I thought protoceratopses grew much larger than that. I remember being surprised to find out velociraptors only got to be about the size of chickens! DAMN YOU JURASSIC PARK

*Utrommaniac* · 07-29-2018, 08:59 PM

Boy, in that case, the Utroms must have been messing around in that era a whole lot more than realized, since those are North American raptors and Anchovy was in Mongolia. I would say maybe deinonychus, since it just barely overlapped with velociraptor at the very tail end of its time alive, but Utahraptor was already very extinct by the time the other two were around.

However, I'm just to chalk it up the very strong possibility that Anchovy bit Bebop and Rocksteady a whole lot, so ingesting their blood may have mutated him just slightly enough to grow much larger than normal. It's a little gross, but probably one of the lesser gross things that have occurred within this line.

Well like I said he was meant to be a velociraptor, which fit the location and time period (and size requirements, I made it a point to pick dinos that would remain small and cute, haha), but I'm just thinking out loud about what Dustin and Ben may have had in mind. I wouldn't read too much into it, in any case.

*neatoman* · 08-01-2018, 03:02 PM

How did Bebop manage to make his boots fit on those little hooves?
