Comic #779: Syrvanas (Patreon)

This is in reference to the recent raid cinematic. I've done similar comics based on cinematics, like #701, #597, and #741) I really enjoy spoofing cinematics because I get to take the melodrama to 11. I wasn't sure how to make the Jailer look funny, but it turns out that all you have to do is slap on a pair of googly eyes.

Sylvanas' attire in the final panel is a reference to the 1999 movie Office Space. I watched some clips online to get all her "flair" right to match Jennifer Aniston's costume. I also had the Jailer call Sylvanas "Sylvie" originally in the third panel but it ended up sending the wrong tone, so I just put it on her nametag in the final panel.

I had reservations about spoofing this cinematic because I know it's causing a lot of drama online, which makes it feel a bit like low hanging fruit. But Sylvanas and the Jailer are such serious melodramatic characters that I couldn't help myself. I feel like I should do some buddy cop comics with the two of them (similar to what I did with Valen and Illidan in comics like #600, #601, and #730).
