Explanation[edit | edit source]

Another crossover with the creator's webcomic, Skeeter! In this comic, however, two of that webcomic's characters -- the titular Skeeter and his friend, Gordon -- are sprites in a black background. This strip also dabbles in black comedy, as it involves a group of Sonic the Hedgehog sprites being mutilated on a mountain similar to the one featured in the Paramount Pictures logo (or, rather, this variant of it, as well as Garfield clones constantly exploding. With the exception of the mountain, this comic consists entirely of sprites, although the mountain has been edited into a similar fashion. Notably, this was published with the intent of also being featured on the Skeeter website itself; it was eventually released, though with a different title. Sprites from the Japan-only A Week of Garfield are featured; SRoMG #21 is a template of these sprites.

This is the first time I've ever done a sprite comic, and it sure was NOT EASY. I got the idea from a YouTube video. I also wanted to experiment a little with black comedy.

Also, I've created this comic with the intent on also publishing on the main Skeeter! website. I previously featured Skeeter! before, but this time, I wanted to do a full crossover. I LOVE crossovers.

Garfield sprites from SRoMG #21. Sources for Sonic sprites: #1, #2. Source for Paramount mountain is here. The Skeeter and Gordon sprites are my own creation.

Text[edit | edit source]

{Skeeter and Gordon are sprite characters in a black background}
Skeeter: Hey, Gordon, check it out! We're sprites!
Gordon: Cool, ain't it? Now we can star in our own video game!
{The duo are suddenly approached by Jon Arbuckle, followed by a group of Garfield sextuplets}
Jon: Hello! Welcome to the Land of Exploding Garfields!
{Sure enough, the sixth Garfield explodes. Why else would it be called "The Land of Exploding Garfields"?}
Jon: Anyone wanna climb Hedgehog Mountain?
{The mountain in question is the Paramount mountain littered with Sonics who are obviously in pain. For Pete's sake, some are severed heads!}
Skeeter and Gordon: ...
{As they ponder, Jon continues to expect an answer as the fifth Garfield explodes, further hammering in the point that they're in the Land of Exploding Garfields}
Gordon: Yeah, we should leave. Now.
Skeeter: Way ahead of you.
