Telltale Games

*Jennifer* · 07/29/2009, 04:40 pm

I love where this comic in a comic is going.

I loved the bear with antlers (I would love to have one of those shirts that Telltale had printed up

, and I love Gordon's eccentricity.

Gordon in a public park in hockey gear in the middle of summer can't end well.

For those of you wondering where this week's Dunk comic went; I accidentally put up next week's strip. This week's comic will be going up shortly.

<-- I'm with stupid.

oldbushie · 08/01/2009, 05:57 pm

Where'd all the comments for each strip go?

I'm wondering too, I liked reading them.. Better than having to click through to here.. Which people will probably never bother doing...

David E · 08/04/2009, 01:39 pm

The strip comments were becoming quite problematic. While it made sense for a while to have comments directly on the comic page, the discussions that took place there were often wildly off-topic and resulted in ugly arguments that weren't remotely related to Graham's comic.

The real cost of having comment threads there started to outweigh the perceived benefits. They were being used by just a handful of people regularly, and those folks often used them for reasons wholly unrelated to the Dank/Dunk comics. It was difficult, time consuming, and unsatisfying to try to rein the discussions in week after week, and it still seemed like folks were more interested in posting just to get their name on a webpage ("first post!", etc.).

So, it made sense to try something different. We'll see how it goes.

Anom2685 · 08/06/2009, 04:36 am

Seems to me that there are now absolutely no comments related to each strip, so is that better?

Kedri · 08/06/2009, 01:35 pm

Here's a comment: Dunk with a love interest could be interesting.

Whiskey · 08/07/2009, 03:11 am

I honestly don't think a groupie talk about the entire comic can substitute comments for each issue. Why don't you just ask the kids to play nice or they'll get the boot? I'm sure anyone with enough taste to appreciate Graham's art will have the common sense to understand.

Badwolf · 08/07/2009, 12:28 pm

I guess there isn't really much that can be said about any individual strip though.

Every comment's either going to be stating or quoting exactly what's just happened on the page, people discussing how much they love/hate/are indifferent to the comics, or people racing to be the first/second/214th poster.

Spadge · 08/07/2009, 12:33 pm

I wouldn't mind if things speed up a little. The story moves a bit too slow for me. You can skip entire strips without loosing anything and that's kinda annoying after a while.

Badwolf · 08/08/2009, 08:18 am

Yeah, the strip seems far too slow for a once a week update. Apparently there's a big backlog made in advance, so I would've thought 2, maybe even 3 updates a week would be feasible, at least for a while.

This might have been true at one point, but right now what goes up on the site is the latest one I've received from Graham, heh. I don't think that Dunk/Dank can be published more frequently, at least in the near term. Sorry!

Badwolf · 08/12/2009, 12:01 pm

Ah right, fair enough. I just remembered it being mentioned a while back.

Tjibbbe · 08/12/2009, 12:14 pm

I love Dank, but I would love a third comic series (or second, seeing as how the Sam & Max-comic finished quite a while ago). Telltale is full of creative minds, I'm sure you guys can think of something! Maybe a comic leading up to whatever new series you've got cooking backstage, or a Monkey Island sidestory, or just something completely unrelated to anything. I would love to see someone like Ryan Jones create a weekly comic.

I still think Dank deserves his own game. His cameo in Telltale Texas Hold Em wasn't enough!

StrongBadinator · 08/12/2009, 10:16 pm

.….....where does he show up again? Maybe I'm just terrible at Texas hold 'em, but I don't remember him showing up.

Tjibbbe · 08/13/2009, 03:47 am

Every time you win a game, you unlock a new set of card designs. The game then randomly selects a design out of those you have unlocked when new cards get dealed. If I remember correctly, you unlock two Telltale Hold Em logos, four cards with the faces of the other players, four cards with an item related to the four other players (a bottle of poison for Grandma Shaky, iron knuckles for Boris, a bottle of root beer for Harry, and a palmtree on a beach for Dudebrough), a card with mouse, one Dunk-card and two Dank-cards (3D Dank!). I might be forgetting a few unlockable cards, but I think that was it.

Anyway, sorry for going off topic. So yeah, we want more Telltale Comic-goodness!

DaVince · 08/13/2009, 07:33 am

Ooh, Dunk has a girl he likes! Or maybe he just likes her burritos. Uh, no innuendo intended.

Tjibbbe · 08/24/2009, 02:08 pm

Found this on Telltale's Twitter:

http://twitpic.com/f4q6e - Sneak peek at this week's Dunk comic!

Who could it be? Looks a bit different than the usual Dunk-characters.

EDIT: Oh wow, guess I was wrong about the mysterious new character. Good old Dunk again. I really like the new character btw!

I still think Dunk/Dank would make for an awesome point & click, what with all the switching between Dunk's real world and his Dank-creations. And the art style is pretty awesome and unique, and seems perfect for the Wii.

DaVince · 09/01/2009, 02:20 am

lol, interesting sneak peek.

*Jennifer* · 09/02/2009, 08:53 pm

Aww, poor Mariska. I empathise with her, because I love to cook and no one ever seems to want to eat the new recipes I try, and I end up usually having to eat the whole thing by myself. But when I make my spaghetti sauce there's never any leftovers, since everyone eats it all up.
