I'm not trying to pander to a group of people with the following tributes. These comics are my way of saying thanks to all of you for making me laugh, smile, and think on a daily basis. In most cases, I've tried to capture a bit of your style without being too hamhanded about it. If you don't see your name below, bear in mind that I'll be making more as the muse dictates.

Yes, CHUBBY is here. Even though he made some poor decisions, he did make some good comics.
And while "Apathy" may not read like much of a tribute to boinky, his "constructive criticism" inspired me to make better comics.

I like it, except the CHUBBY one needs more "crabby fucks his daughter" homage.

Sorry to whore off in your topic, but I've also made a bunch of tributes. They are here if anyone wants to see if they're in there: http://www.stripcreator.com/comics/Injokester/sets/Tributes/

I know JESUSSANDWICH did a ton in one hit as well (the ones I did tributes to).

Thumbs up from me on nailing the styles quite nicely. Thumbs down from Dr Pedantic on the fact that Uranus was Roman, not Greek.

The DragonXero one was the funniest. Good work, umfum. It reminds me that I need to make some more tribute comix myself.

I hate to sass Dr. Pedantic, but Uranus is Greek.
Coelus is his Roman counterpart.

I was saving that for the tribute to crabby. ;)

Thanks for the feedba(g)ck, guys. I'll try to work in your request, Finn.

Is he? Then the Romans fucked up for naming a planet after him.

According to Wikipedia, kaufman is right:

"In Greek mythology, Ouranos is the ancient deity of the heavens, the earliest supreme god. Uranus is the Latin name of Ouranos."

Actually "Ouranos" is funny too.

Here's what wikipedia has to say:

quote:
Ouranos is the Greek name of the sky, latinized as Uranus. In Greek mythology it is personified as the son and husband of Gaia, Mother Earth. They were ancestors of most of the Greek gods. His equivalent in Roman mythology was Caelus (sometimes Titan) ("sky"). He may have originally been the same Indo-European god as the Hindu Varuna.

Ouranos is Greek, but Latinization (not necessarily ROMANization) changed it to Uranus. It ALSO says that in ROMAN mythology, Caelus was the god of the sky.

So we have a Roman god of the sky named Caelus, and a Romanized god of the sky named Uranus?

I'm worse off than before.

Zeus is still Greek and Jupiter is still Roman, right?

The Internet sources I looked up verified Uranus as Greek. I ask you gentlemen, "Has the Internet ever lied to us before?"

My handy dandy World Almanac lists Uranus as both Greek and Roman.

Either way, I think we can all agree that Uranus is much funnier than Coelus/Caelus.

I changed the lyrics a bit in the very last panel; otherwise, they're the same.

If so, you're on my list. Haven't been feeling vary creative lately, though.

Or even very creative...
