Episode 290
If you are a new reader, you might want to subscribe to “Holiday Wars” as well as start reading it from the beginning. Once you’re caught up on the main storyline then checkout the side stories in “Tales of Holiday’s Past.”
Bye Bye Bunny.
Well, a lot of people certainly called THAT, if only as soon as last week.
Also, eeeeyuuuuuugh this is gonna be bad.
I get a lot of random emails and NO ONE until Friday (when it was more hinted at) did anyone even begin to make the guess.
They only called it on friday. I just reread the whole thing and I think this has been the setup from the start.
It has always been the plan. "Holiday Wars V1" was written and re-written a bunch of times before Michael Odom (our kickbutt penciler) was even brought aboard.
I don't think anyone can claim credit just because they figured it out on Friday. No ONE had any idea till then.
I knew.
So wait, he's been that voice thing? So…is it his fault all of this has happened?
Crazy, huh?
Apparently. How did he get in the Bunny's head?
That will be answered eventually in "The Calling."
Well, we know he can shapeshift. Maybe he made himself blend with the background, or shrunk himself down and got into the bunny's ear?
Or maybe April Fools has powers we don't know about?
This is a serious big deal. If April Fools is behind EVERYTHING it changes my opinion of The Bunny. It also makes me wonder how the heck he pulled this off. I guess that's the point of the current ToHP?
You'll find out.
Yeah if April Fools is really the Forgotten then He is the the real mastermind and responsible for it all.
Not completely true. Even if he was being manipulated The Bunny still made his own choices.
Do something, Tegan. This isn't the 1960's. Girls in comics and cartoons can do stuff other then put their hands over their mouths and scream when something bad happens.
You REALLY want her to save The Bunny?!
Yeah, but would you wanna the Rabbit? He is kind of a jerk. Personally, I'd be tempted to just let him go. Then again, there's a reason I'm not a hero.
And what exactly is she supposed to do to stop April Fools?
Can't she do whatever it is she was doing to Rabbit a few minutes ago? Cut his connection?
I think everything is happening too fast to give her time to really think and react.
I mean after.
You'll findout.
Is there even time for her to do something. This is a comic so what we are seeing is a frozen moment of time. In real time this is probbally happening in like a second.
I didn't specify it in the script but the time between the last episode and this episode happens in the time it takes to snap a finger.
the bunny is a murdering evil jerk so what if april fools eats him i say its a good thing i don't understand why everyone likes him all of a sudden
But the bunny is so sad how can you not like him? 🙁
It's not so much that I like the Bunny as I'm fearing that the Fool can somehow absorb his status or power by eating him. I know I'm probably crazy, but hey…
That would be messed up. If he could eat other Holidays he'd be unstopable!
It be like Highlander! There can only be ONE!
Monster Eater. That would be a cool name for a spin-off/prequel.
Dang he gone eat him?!!!
Yep.
I think we all have under estimated April Fools.
I never did.
You got me. I just had to go back and reread the whole story from the start. Epic. Seriously EPIC!
Now I want to go back and reread from the start but I don't have time today.
Thank you.
THERE IS NO DANA ONLY ZUUL
Genius. All Tegan has to do is cross the Holiday Spirit stream and then instant smoores for all of NYC!
In my head I see April Fools and Bunny arguing "duck season" and "rabbit" season like from bugs bunny lol
Definitely looks like rabbit season to me.
How much you want to bet that the Fool is also being manipulated by his supernatural father?
So Puck is manipulated April Fools who then manipulated The Bunny & all the other Holidays? I'm not sure that seems too simple compared to some of the stuff we've already seen.
You'll know by the end of Volume 1 if you are right or not.
To be honest, I don't care if i'm right or not, and if I fail to predict the story, I am usually happy for that because it means that some excellent writing is happening. It is writing like that that helps me find ways of improving my own writing.
Have you been following along my Writing 101 posts at MakingComics.com? It's a watered down version of what I'm teaching in one of my classes. It's very basic writing tips so if you have any background already then you probably already know it all, but it's still worth checking out.
I'm just a text writer, I can't draw at all, and what i've learned ended up from practice more than anything.
well crap, i didn't see this coming. Although I did think it odd that if April Fools was able to save the world from evil gods or something when he was new it was weird for him to be a flunky. but i also more focused on why he would be evil if he had saved everything.
When did he take on evil gods? I don't remember that being said anywhere.
Yeah when/where was it mentioned about The Fool saving the world?
Crap. As soon as I feel that I start to understand and get the bunny as the big bad you flop things around on us completely!!!
Maniacal laugh. Maniacal laugh.
Power up the Bunny FAST if he dies no one else nearby is strong enough to even slow him down.
Friday and Teddy are just outside the entrance to The World Tree.
That is SO disturbing!!
So, if he's been messing with the Bunny, what are his plans for Tegan?
A romantic dinner for two with cheese fries?
Ooh! With extra cheese on the fries?
No, don't be silly.
I let out an " AH!" and woke up my wife when i first saw this…
And what did she say?
I just got "the look"….. -_-
Well, that's enough nightmare fuel for the day.
