Comic #748: Multi-boxing (Patreon)
Content
I felt guilty for my readers that this comic was only 2 panels. At first I tried to think of ways to make it longer, but ended up deciding that extra panels would only take away from the joke. In trying to think of ways to make a 2-panel comic more interesting, I did realize I could make it animated. In it's original form, the last panel was just all four Miji's saying "crap" in one speech bubble. By making it animated I realized I could have them repeat "crap" one after another. This ends up being a lot more similar to what multi-boxing looks like with input broadcasting software and adds another layer to the joke.
I also wrestled with the fact that I don't have any main character druids, as multi-boxing is far more common with druids due to flight form and interacting while "mounted". I ended up putting that joke in the newspaper.
An early idea for this comic was also someone complaining on the wow forums, and using 5 different accounts to complain. I couldn't figure out how to make that work without it just being a bunch of images of a forum post, which is kind of boring. In the end, I added that joke to the newspaper as well.
