Comic #781: MDI (Patreon)

I think the dialogue changed at least 100 times in this one, and I'm not entirely convinced for the better. I ended up changing it so much that I couldn't tell in the end what point I was getting across anymore.

The original intent here was to poke fun at group members intent on using MDI strats in a crappy group. I struggled with getting out the exposition for those that don't know what MDI means. The first punchline I came up with was a little boring. 

Halfway through I came up with the Mythic Dummies International joke, and really wanted to work that in. I have a glimmer of an idea for a future comic involving them trying out for Mythic Dummies International, and wanted to sew the seed here. I think I struck a balance between the two jokes, but I'm not sure.

I also struggled in the last panel. I kept drawing versions of the three other group members doing silly/stupid things but I couldn't get them to all fit in the frame. I originally had the DPS meters above Keydar and he was bowing to it, but it took up too much space, so I had him hug it instead. I also had to redraw Donald picking his nose from a front view, and stuck him behind Miji and it worked a little better.
