Ink Food - English

Comic I made in celebration of my 19th birthday. It stars Comic!Super7, who has established a food stand in the middle of nowhere, trying to sell food made of ink to the few customers available, who are clearly not happy with its look. A new entry comes out every week on my Twitter. Enjoy.

Ink Food #0 - Empty Space. The comic has 4 panels: 1) Desert that has a tumbleweed, clouds and a huge mountain at the background. 2) Same background, although the tumbleweed and the clouds have moved to the right. A pair of hands grabs onto the frame. 3) Same movement pattern in the background, and now a head of Comic! Super⁷ has appeared from the left side of the frame with a neutral expression. He is a black silhouette with 2 white eyes and a hat. 4) Same movement pattern in the background, and the head looks directly into the camera.

Ink Food #1 - First Day : The comic has 4 panels. 1) Comic!Super⁷ is struggling while pulling a cart with a striped hood on top of it. The background is a desert with a big mountain at the horizon, some clouds and a sun with shades. 2) The same background, although the clouds have moved, and the Sun is now looking at the nearest one. Comic!Super⁷ is pasting two wooden planks together. The cart can be seen behind him. 3) The same background pattern, with the cloud slightly covering the sun, who is now visibly shocked. Comic!Super⁷ has joined the wooden planks with the cart, which now has a wooden sign, and is now throwing the hood on top. 4) Same movement partern as before, with the cloud covering the sun completely, even stealing its shades. The food stand is now complete, with the sign saying INK FOOD, some containers and a menu.

Picture of Comic!Super⁷ holding a sign that says Ink Food. The text reads as follows: -" Hey there! What you saw above was Ink Food, a new comic I'm gonna try to release once a week. Based on an old RP thing I had on my Amino days, it's the perfect theme for something made to celebrate my 19th Birthday! Basically, it's about how Comic!Super⁷ tries to have a food stand on the middle of nowhere, and to top it all off, it's made of ink! So he struggles getting along with the few clients he has while trying to sell what's kinda the opposite of eye-candy. However, it also works as a Q&A! Just ask me questions and I'll integrate it into the story. If you want, you can even give me a character to make it even more immersive. Anyways, hope I can make something decently fun for you guys. Enjoy! "-

Ink Food #2 - Waiting…: The comic has 4 panels: 1) The background is a desert path with a road, some pebbles, wheel tracks and 2 tumbleweeds coming from opposite ends in an isometric view.

"- 2) The same background, but the tumbleweeds now bumped against each other, and some wheel tracks have disappeared. Comic!Super⁷, now slightly less happy, says: -" Yep! Any minute now! "- 3) The same background, but now the tumbleweeds have moved a bit to the opposite direction and more tracks have disappeared. Comic!Super⁷, a bit bored, says: -" Any… minute… now… "- 4) The same background, but the tumbleweeds are now at the edges of the panel and there's no tracks left.
