Here's a little something for you HARDCORE Nintendo nerds. If you recognize them, you have my total respect. ^_^

These old comics were a huge influence on my art as I was growing up, so I thought I'd do a little tribute to them.

They look like Hank and Dean Venture. XD They're totally adorable though; good job!

A couple of months ago I found a webpage that had some of the old Nester comics on them. Before that I'd only heard of the character. Nice work on both of them.

Great homage to the better days of gaming. I wonder why NP stopped using them... I haven't read a NP for awhile either, but I gather its not as good

Well, it's kinda "grown up". NP was totally targetted at kids back in the day. Not so much anymore.

As far I know, the guy who Howard was based on left the company to work for Microsoft so they couldn't use him anymore. They brought back Nester for an anniversary issue (apparantly the character was in college or something) but he hasn't been heard from since.

But yeah, I was flipping through my old NP back issues for some inspiration and stumbled on these old comics again. I found myself giggling like a school girl at how exceptionally lame yet awesome they were. Ah, the rose-colored lens of nostalgia. ^_~

Lmfao. Classic man. Great job.
Howard and Nester was this goofy comic that ran in Nintendo Power in the late 80's. You can check 'em out here...

Awww, thank you.

Yeah, I was totally thrilled to see that someone archived them. Now if we could just get someone to track down the Mario VS Wario comics from the early 90's.
