Nancy and… Bucko?
Well, this seems to be the week of jaw-dropping over-the-top tributes.
Gaming in Obscurity’s guide to Five Card Nancy features host Ryan McSwain’s own home-made Five Card Nancy deck (learn about the game here) and a complete explanation of the rules and origins of the game and, um… me.
And then, about seven and a half minutes in, um…
Uh…
…a thing happens.
I don’t know how to describe it. It’s wonderfully bizarre and funny, and — if you’re me — even more terrifying than yesterday’s infographic, but it’s kind of a must-see.
Meanwhile, back in Scott World Prime, Jeff Parker and Erika Moen have begun an adorable new webcomic called Bucko.
It’s off to a great start. I especially like the local, rainy, Portlandiness of it. Feels like a love letter to that wonderful, cartoonist-clogged city already. Definitely one to bookmark.
Have a great weekend!
Oh. My. God.
You know someone is going to perform that number at SDCC one day….
And remember, it’s “Friendly” restaurants, not… oh, right. They changed it.
Ha! Hilarious, Scott. I guess you know you’ve arrived when you get a video tribute like that… or a stalker…. maybe BOTH!
On his McCloud flag, is that blood on your cheek a la Dexter?
Wasn’t sure.
I won’t even tell you my theory.
The McCloud banner was a spray painted stencil. The cheapest way to do it was to use a plastic tablecloth, a la Dexter. The plastic didn’t hold the paint that well, so some of it flaked off, but I liked the look so I didn’t worry about fixing it. The spot on the glasses was a smudge from the stencil moving before the paint was dry.
Hi Ryan! Thanks for a crazy, wonderful link I could share.

No problem, Scott. Thanks for posting it, and for taking the whole thing in the spirit it was intended.
Sorry if I’m flooding the comments–either I’m doing something wrong or I don’t understand the moderation.
Dude, no worries. I’m a chronic over-poster. Great video!
Thanks. (For some reason, I kept hitting submit, but the comment wouldn’t post. After doing so numerous times, I thought, “Great, I bet replies are moderated before appearing and this guy will see 12 comments and think I really am a stalker.”)
Yeah, my spam catcher sometimes goes after innocent bystanders. Otherwise, comments should be unmoderated and should post right away.
Thanks for stopping by. 🙂

The power of comics!!
If I were you Scott I would be very flattered and possibly a little unnerved after that.
