A storytime for the SECOND HALF of the 2004-2008 comic Muertitos by S. Cherrywell.This is the second half. To read the first half and avoid being lost on the characters and premise, go here: >>144602323I repeat, go there:>>144602323Feel free to reply with comments or quips on the comic pages, it keeps the thread bumped and it keeps dear OP sane and engaged. Whether that be commenting on a panel or making a joke or asking a question or pointing out one of many references.
Story 14 - Satananigans!
End of Story 14:And also the 24 Hour anniversary of this story time starting. Next one is our first big one of the day so I'm taking 10 minutes to check all my equipment
>>144614305Color!
Story 15 - Radio Kills The Audio Stars
At least it's not a TV signal.Those use Microwaves and I'm pretty sure at that powerlevel the whole town would be well done
Oh hey it's Viper Miss Gorgon again
Ah don't worry Sunshine, we'll get that scene with Pretzel Douglas-Commercial-8 Saint Cherrywell soon.Speaking of which, Creamy Beamy is in it's second Epilogue rn, Reiko is throwing Bowling Balls.
Mid 2006, as the file names say
You know if this is their broadcasting procedure I'm starting to realize why Wight Chickz caused a nuclear war between Earth and New Memphisa
>>144614259Many Stars and Ravens knew what it was to be roasted on the meat spit of a slor that episode, I can tell you.
Having increasing issues on my end, when I'm done this arc I'll figure it out
Well that Oxy line aged well
>>144614202Is this some spic comic?
Aged very well.(Also again, explains how the world ended in 2031 in the Steph verse)
I doubt that will help either.
End of Story 15
>>144614475So this is where Skullgirls got the idea.
Story 16 - The Death/Hulamutt Hour
Oh boy this one
>>144614558Well, at least Roscoe's still getting quality work.
Remember that weird period where completely unrelated series would air episodes together? You had Tarzan Batman Power Hour and crap?Grim and Evil was the last case of this I'm aware of.
Also between this and that thing last time and something coming up, fully convinced Stephanie lived in Oregon City or one of the nearby small towns (like Shellburg Falls) at this point. (She moved right after Dystopia Issue 3 in 2003 and then moved again in the late 2000s which was the one to Wisconsin)
I feel like I've seen this exact joke in like, the last 5 years
Speaking of Steph's mainstream appeal(and this was near her peak of that, briefly Number 7 most daily views), that panel in the bottom middle was a meme for a hot minute...or a fad back then I guess.Can we bring it back?
>>144615006It’s more like a thic comic
I hate my self? Because fat people hate carrots and he has issues? Just a guess
>>144615573Holy shit The Chocolate Guy!
Oh for fucks sake Gokiburi
well done joke. well done
>>144614699I mean, everyone's already dead to begin with.
End of Story 16
Story 17: Kill Time: Parts 1 & 2
Here we are, No Boom.Canned, but that spot ended up becoming taken by GPCB so all good.
There it is again!(Also wait, are these the guys who were holding Lafcadio in PETA?)
Reminds me of that one DHMIS joke actually
Ah jeez there's always a line
Oh hey it's Creepy Susie!
Wait isn't that an actual show now
You think this could have worked as a full comic? Creamy Beamy took it's spot
It's funny that both Germaine and Marzipan still have their series ongoing.In fact at this point Homestar Runner and Neurotically Yours are THE longest running webtoons. Pretty cool.(Last year I also added that Steph herself was still around and active too, so super weird for such an old comic...but that part no longer works, Steph officially retired at the end of June during the Creamy Beamy thread...like during the overnight pause)
End of Story 17
Taking my official break now. The last 3 arcs are all full length. Kill Time was the last mini.Also if you want a contemporary reminder, at this point in time Creamy Beamy was midway through Arc 2, James Brighttower just picked up Yukiri outside the Unconscious Girl Discreet Beverage Enhancement Tablets store.
Story 18 - Snow Ski Survival Saga
Steph's been an Archie fan for a long time.Wonder if that weird mysteries episode had anything to do with it...eh probably not
>>144616062I think it was one of Roiland's.
Sorry outage. How many people we got here
>>144616962Between me, myself, and I, that's at least three.
This is the OTHER case where the Old Classic Run is seemingly partially canon.Pele is from there, Issue 4, Vodun Hodun Yodun(the one I cocked the title up for). If you wanna see Hawaiian outfits, fat ghost girls, and mummy tummys, go there.https://desuarchive.org/co/thread/143918906/#q143925284(Ignore the name I had my files mixed up with Reiko)
>>144616962Me!
Is the other thread still up? I'm too busy to look. Who knows what sort of weird conversations are happening there?
I'd say toxic mushrooms aren't a concern given they're already dead, but given the name I wouldn't take my chances on the D Angel not having some secondary supernatural effects. Maybe do a death cap instead, already dead no issue there
>>144617127Still up, nothing interesting said yet.
Small cannibal rights.Also between Pele and the sacrifice stuff this is feeling like a remake of that one story from the original run
thereoncewasafrenchmanyvonwashisname
Hey it's the reporter who covered Tsugumi and called her a Obese Ballerina Thing and...Oh no...OH NO NOT YOU AGAIN
Home stretch, gonna go take a shit.Glad to see New Memphis of the Future is doing well.Say...is it just me or does that Succubus Girl in the top middle seem awfully familar...Bah it's probably nothing
Theres no way this is...oh crap Steph's telling the truth/
Story 19 - The Spears of Heaven
Finally it's the Angel Pie character study you always wanted...wait wrong script. It's the blatant fanservice you always wanted!(Between this and Gratuitous Bathing over on the other comic just wrapping up around this time Steph was clearly in a phase or something...haven't seen the horny levels that high since 2001)
>>144617593>>144617600You call that dropping your grapes and stopping a cheat, Honeo? You didn't even do the bicycle kick!
The fact they know who that is immediately further backs my theory these two are the vomiting liver and kidney failure bulimic cutting pageant girls Tsugumi mentioned reading about
Eh, wait a second, it's Fall 2007! Don't you owe us those copies of Octopus Rex Ms. Viper?
Who's running this news channel, ZSama?
Is that the back of the Development Hell sign?
>>144617785IT'S ALWAYS HIM AGAIN WHEN WILL YOU LEARN
>>144617796Shit, that was, like, Season 1. That brief period when Heroes was good.
Just count every joke in this one page, it's insane the density.
This joke is another one of me favourites
>>144618145Appropriately for Bizarro, that's so stupid it's brilliant.
Again, the joke density.Ah, we won't have someone like Steph in this genre again for some time, will we?
>>144618247This or any genre, I daresay.
oh right
>>144618216>Sonny Bono shows up right after a skiing storylineCoincidence, or Steph's warped sense of humor at work again?
Tonya looks like she's one exhale away from both her clothes and chair exploding.
>>144618337Looks like Octopus Rex didn't make enough bank after all.
Ah the last thread sunk. Was hoping it could last the night like Creamy Beamy did.Ah well. It'll still be fine from the link for 10 days.
End of Story 19Last one coming up lads and lasses
>>144618419Of course Lafcadio used to be hot. Explains a lot, actually.
Story 20 - Centepouille
You know that probably would be an issue for old ghosts. They'd probably also get fat, but ya know
Damn the whole gang is appearing.After Creamy Beamy and IntraGalactic I had forgotten what a finale that exists and is finished and isn't rushed due to circumstance feels like
no comment.
>>144618484>You got the Death!
Wait a second Lafcadio didn't you die in the Fascist Italian Army?
who are you gonna draw fan-art of when we're done first anons
>>144618580>L.E.D.A.>hugging a swanThere's them brain jokes again.
Wow EVERYONE is here.
everyone is here
Well that didn't happen. The only thing that went up in flames in 2011 was Steph's career.
Dear god, a war on dessert would put Steph out of business. They must be stopped!Generals, summon...The White Rabbit! (Succubus Edition)>lightning strikes and thunder
I swear this chick looks like Cheesecake mixed with one of those Cheerleader girls she was pumping full of fudge.
Wait that literally is cheesecake(no capital c). Like the actual food. Neat
>>144618792(Also I'm pretty sure those are the hidden calorie demons from Cheers for Chubby behind her. I should have known...and I did actually, funny story)
yeah i see where this is going
That skull shape...those clothing choices.GOKIBURI CLAN!
(And if it's the Nagoya High Cheer Team, the condoms ARE made of candy! Praises be!)
Guess this is after he and X had that falling out
smashsomeone pitch this to /ceg/ or something I like this idea
As your attorney, my advice is to go to Vegas
I love it when I get the reference.(Also come on, everyone knows each person gets one shoulder deity each.)
Wait is that Pele?Should uh, should we be concerned? Wait the insurance joke...Oh I'm a thinking I'm a real a smarta a boy witha thisa one
First off, called it!Second off, Princi-Pal returns! He lives!Thirdly, could you hold that portal open a little longer, maybe let in any oddly pale Succubi with sexy librarian glasses lurking in the future that unfroze you? No particular reason...Fourthly...oh crap she's gonna end up starring in Wight Chickz on the rebound isn't she? DAMN YOU ANGEL PIE! YOU'VE DOOMED US ALL!Actually it was seemingly mostly Gokiburi but STILL YOU DOOMED US ALL
Creamy Beamy is at the point where Yukiri is trying to breach the barracade to get to the airport to get to Australia to do a horny(long story) and is dealing with the fake French people(not so long story). It's May 2008. That also means IntraGalactic is just a few months from starting
First off, checks out. I trust Steph's intent here.Second of all...huh that was not a common term in 2008 was it.Thirdly if you're surprised... Steph is a lesbian woman who lives in a blue state, is sexually open, and drew webcomics(pre-2014) . If you didn't expect that I don't know what to sayAnd fourthly...yes Lafcadio...YES
Oh perfect, listen I've been looking to invest in Jack in the Box and need the price to crash for a bit
Here comes the bride, make her-
And there we go. After 566 pages(or 584 if you include the art pages and one or two gag pages and No Boom...or 586 if you let me finish...or 699 if you include the original 2001-2002 stuff. Nice) Muertitos ended in June 2008. 4 months later in October, IntraGalactic would start, which checks out, one comic ends so there's room for a second one to start.I'm sure this plan will end well with zero unforseen events and coiencidences setting the author down a slow 2 and a half year long descent into burnout and eventual collapse in 2011. That would NEVER happen.Anyway two more art pages
So, now the question is, what comes next? We've done Dystopia, Muertitos Classic, Flying Suit Reiko, Gorgeous Princess Creamy Beamy, IntraGalactic, and Muertitos Keenspace. Why we even did that one-shot from 2002 with the little world and the fat chick
Is the Summer of Stephanie, THE summer to end all summers seeing as she officially retired this year(in the middle of my Creamy Beamy thread no less) to end like this, in July? No last minute panicked editions when we remember we forgot something? No material to hype up those Cheesecake Ms. /co/ guys who keep showing up?Probably not.FSR really underpreformed compared to everything else this year which did really good by my standards(finally breaking the record set by my original GPCB thread in 2021) so I could try doing one thread per issue twice daily or something to avoid scaring people off with the length and low quality art.Plus there's those Patreon comics. Sure they're super short and mostly just for the wankies since Steph's creative soul died in 2011, but hey, they exist, they're in color. Who'd be up for A Sensible Girl or Uninvited Ghosts or that one that's all commissioned and not public?Or I could try to find Widgey Q Butterfluff and Peppermint Penwell. Someone said they had scans...OR we could go looking for those lost pages of Old Muertitos and FSR
Well I don't have enough image slots left to do all the character profiles, and there's literally zero archived fan-art on the website from this era(Just old 2001-2002 era stuff I showed on that thread plus one or two random things I found and put on the GPCB thread) so not sure what do to use em on.Guess I'll decide in the morning. The Intragalactic Thread lasted 2 days after ending and Creamy Beamy lasted 5. I'd be happy with 3 for this.
Anyway, here's the Character Profiles.http://muertitos.comicgenesis.com/characters.htmlAnd here's the OG Version with different images and descriptions and a few character swap outs.https://web.archive.org/web/20060623054000/http://muertitos.comicgenesis.com/characters.html
>>144618285Obviously this is a Bizzaro Bender
We need some art of Succubus Cheesecake.Quick who's a cute demon girl who needs to be embiggened?
>>144619534Isn't there a Charlie fat thread on the same page as us? Right now?
God I miss Stephanie
Thanks for the nostalgia trip OP
>>144616062Wasn't Koalaman originally from the Supermegatopia website/comic/vaguely pornographic thing?
>>144614202Thankz anon
>>144618527Good
>>144619200ShivasThong has the FSR pages, just nobody can get in contact
>>144616074No.
>>14461423914?
>>144619200Alright lads you earned it.I don't have enough images to do them all individually, but here's the character pages.
>>144624661
>>144624705
>>144624724
>>144624749There we go.
>>144624724>like a ferretAh
>>144614202Thx
>>144618904I'm guessing Jesus and the Hovas aren't on speaking terms.
>>144624769Aha, there's more.These are the original ones from 2005 on the wayback, the other ones are from 2007 and still up.There are a few changes(I'm guessing those snake guys were intended to show up again and then didn't) and some different or fleshed out lore(Honeo dies of the Plague).Also the art and color is a bit different. The newer ones still on the site feel like super early IntraGalactic mixed with some of the early Deviantart stuff, while these ones give me more "2004 S.Sakurai" vibes(That was the last year she did a lot of art outside the webcomics for quite some time, and it's usually always labeled that way in the corner. You'll know it when you see it. Dueling Chefs is from that year. It's distinct, it's shaded so it looks way better then the 2002 and prior stuff like the Old Porkydex or some of the old anime art, but it's also not colored to the same degree as most of IntraGalactic or the early Patreon stuff, ya know?)
>>144626657
Also, just like with Creamy Beamy, there have been some talks of people upscaling and coloring the comic or something. Big project, but given how passionate Steph's fans are I really hope something can come out of it. These two are the best candidates(The older stuff is too crude and inconsistent, pencil drawn stuff is harder to manually color and doesn't upscale well, we don't have as much official coloring to go off of, and Steph's colored art back in the Reiko days wasn't super HQ anyway)While I'd personally prefer Creamy Beamy(and a major step was made recently, the main font used for character text in GPCB is Gill Sans MT Pro Heavy exactly) honestly seeing either of these upscaled and colored would be a dream come true. It's really the only thing holding them back(IntraGalactic is great, It's grown on me, but writing wise Muertitos was Steph at her best and pure fatty wank wise GPCB was the peak), make em look pretty and who knows what audience they could grab?
Here's what the site looks like right now.The Forum and Store and Fanart buttons all are broken and have been for years(Fanart area was shared with Creamy Beamy, only one Muertitos thing saved, Forum is 99% lost, Store just sold t-shirts with the OP image design, or t-shirts with the pink creamy beamy shirt icon square). Email is also long dead(I do have her current email, but it's not to be publically shared)The characters tab still works fine though, as does all the actual comic stuff. Most of the buttons on the bottom work, depends if the comic is still up.http://muertitos.comicgenesis.com/d/20040921.html If you wanna read the comic yourself or grab pages, go here. I repeat, go herehttp://muertitos.comicgenesis.com/d/20040921.html
This is the old site the Original Muertitos was on, as well as FSR and Dystopia. (Newer version, pre-2003 it was even more Geocities tier)Heres the issues.Issue 1: Low-Fat Chicken Soup For The Dead Soul- September 2001: https://web.archive.org/web/20040810235605/http://www.flyingsuitreiko.com/Manga/M1/MIssue1.htmIssue 2: XXXodus- November 2001: https://web.archive.org/web/20040810235819/http://www.flyingsuitreiko.com/Manga/M2/MIssue2.htmIssue 3: A Hello To Arms- January 2002 : https://web.archive.org/web/20040811084844/http://www.flyingsuitreiko.com/Manga/M3/MIssue3.htmIssue 4: Vodun Hodun Yodun- March 2002: https://web.archive.org/web/20040811090953/http://www.flyingsuitreiko.com/Manga/M4/MIssue4.htmIssue 5: In Heaven There Is No Steer- June 2002: https://web.archive.org/web/20040811092143/http://www.flyingsuitreiko.com/Manga/M5/MIssue5.htmIssue 6: The Secretions of Fatima- September 2002: https://web.archive.org/web/20040612083407/http://www.flyingsuitreiko.com/Manga/M6/MIssue6.htm(It's semi-canonical to the later series, and a few pages are missing, but if you're desperate for more Muertitos you could do worse)
>>144626920There's a notable uptick in quality in the backhalf. I have a crude sorting system for eras of Steph content and I'd consider that the dividing line between 1A(Flying Suit Reiko and Issue 1-3 of Old Muertitos) and 1B(4-6 of Old Muertitos and Dystopia...and maybe the FSR Revival issue?)There's like 3 big eras(Early Webcomic, Later Webcomic, Post Webcomic) each with sub eras(2A is Muertitos and GPCB, 2B is IntraGalactic and the Graphic Novels, 3A is Patreon with passion and color, 3B is the last few years where the magic died, Era 0 is the most lost stuff from the 90s like Swamp Oppossum)Doesn't really matter I guess, just check out the old stuff if you got time.
This is the only fan-art of them archived on there. There's some stuff elsewhere on the Internet(and some stuff from the Reiko era on that site), but from the current sites link tree this is it.>Ankhmutes and Youko, by Brian Burke of Supermegatopia. I have the original of this hanging on my wall. Not really "fanart" since I paid for it, but isn't it great? (Wait a second didn't someone mention that name earlier for something)
>>144618971Only forty? He knows this is Youko's order, right?
I could've swore this same animator did that one weight gain comic where there was this fat chef and her apprentice? I'm not sure what the title was but the apprentice was a girl with a purple sweater, black glasses, short, with brown hair. I know I'm not going crazy.
>>144621457I don't recall a Koalaman, unless it was a quick one-panel gag.
>>144627395Funny you should mention that.>>144626657>You'll know it when you see it. Dueling Chefs is from that year. It's distinct, it's shaded so it looks way better then the ‘Dueling Chefs’ I mentioned here is what you seek. I have it
>>144628529OP delivers as usual, graci
Are you also the same anon who made this thread, OP? https://bbw-chan.link/bbwdraw/res/203525.html#203813
>>144628879Can’t post it tho not enough space
>>144630222No problem anon, I downloaded an google drive of some of the old comics. Luckily it was in there.
>>144614202thx
Can't fit the only piece of modern stuff I found so some older fanart from the FSR era
I was weighing a lot of options for the last image spot, but I made my choice.This. It's not Muertitos, but it's for you guys. It's the only piece of new fan-art made in these threads for Steph girls. There's Tsugumi and her alter ego Creamy Beamy, there's Queen Vanilla Bazooka, and there's Cheesecake Saint Cherrywell.Thanks guys. This one goes out to you. Steph is gone, I think we'll all miss her. I'm not sure if this is the last storytime period, but barring a miracle it's the last big one. We've done Reiko, we've done Creamy Beamy, we've done IntraGalactic, we've done this. What remains is either shorter than Dystopia or lost. Thanks. It's been an honor.Here's to more art, more fan works, more of these characters living on. To Stephanie Sakurai Cherrywell! The Greatest FA Artist/Author To Ever Live!(*Ok technically there's one other piece of new fan-art, Tsugumi with a popsicle by that one guy who draws Luz's mom, but that's from trash)
>>144629025That thread went to shit after a while and got pretty directionless.Some people wanted an art dumping General, some people wanted discussion, some people wanted a lost media hunt, and some people wanted a campaign hub for Cheesecake’s Ms. /co/.Hopefully the next one is better. I’m partial to coloring and upscaling stuff. Anyone good at that sort of thing
anything cool? Sketches, fanworks, lost page leads, anecdotes?
>>144624769DJ Tonja is still my favourite side character from this comic
>>144614239Shananigans!
>>144614361Cool
>>144635125Because of the two mouths?
