A storytime for the 1999-2002 webcomic Flying Suit Reiko. Or at least the first thread, I'll likely do it over the course of the weekend. Be sure to reply with quips or comments to keep the thread bumped and keep me sane
Issue 1 - Mylar Attacks!
This is how most webcomics looked back in 1999, especially since this is a redraw of something from 1998 or 1997. It gets better later on.
>>154942625By gar, it's been a while!>>154942662I miss the golden age of webcomics. I can't believe Captain SNES still updates on occasion.
>>154942679She’s cute
Issue 1.5 - Futomomoe(was originally a separate story that got merged in later)
>>154942782Borbs
Issue 2 - Reiko in Lust
Taking a break after this. Would you guys prefer I broke this into many small threads with 50-100 posts each done twice a day, or one big thread with scheduled breaks(well, two big threads).I did both last year for different comics and it was mixed.
>>154942662pure soul that's what it is
Issue 3 - Potchari Sweat(sticking to this thread for now)
Insert ozempic joke here (ngl it's kinda sad we're going back to that culture)
>>154943752>You’ve been coughing up blood all week>Yeah, but I stopped menstruating, so it evens out This author is pretty witty I like the writing
>>154943796>>154943752>McCormick’s Repetitive Fatality Syndrome Almost missed that
god I miss these daysi'm so happy to have found Dragon Mango
The german guy actually shows up again in the original Muertitos comic (dead of course)
Issue 4 - When Millionaires Attack
The namesake reference is to Project A-Ko (specifically B-Ko who uses a flying suit), but there's a ton of other stuff referenced. Most notably Rama 1/2 especially in Issue 2. See if you can spot all the references
>>154943796Yeah, there's some genuinely fantastic jokes all throughout these comics.
>>154944177>6'8" female pankratiastGranted, Yoko's heavier, but still, what are the odds?
Issue 5 - Demon-Streaked Dress
It’s weird to see South Park references being made so early. Like, Chinpokomon was brand new at this point
>>154943424my sides
>>154944624Only those as old as us will understand Potchari's cosplay.
Issue 5.5 - The Natrix
Professor Gokiburi and his family (both ancestors and descendants) are somehow a universal constant and appears in every single one of this authors old works (except Dystopia I think, but there's a Mylar in that one so it's still the same universe)
>>154944759Some of them probably didn’t even get the reference in Issue-3’s title
Issue 6 - There's Something About Mariko
>>154943796those were the fuckin days
>>154944930Starting to suspect the artist/author might like fat girls. And a couple other things
Issue 6.5 - Mommy's Curse
>>154945063First time reading this?
Figure I'll post the colored art for a few of the characters. Not all of it has been found, so if you have copies of all of them please tell me(thankfully every page of the actual comic has been found, I found a missing page and someone last year came forward with the last two which were still on a CD-R)
Just realized this(I never caught her name in this one before), but this news reporter (Kamera Anko) actually does show up in a later comic at one point in a scene very similar to this one >>154944674
>>154944445referencing at all was so unusual at the time..also man, so close to >>154944444
i recognize that pose
Issue 7 - Triumph of the Wool
>>154945140it sneaks up on you! like in Creamy Beamy
I miss this era so much. I must bring it back..
>>154945403Mariko ends up joining the UN in a future comic cameo so good for her
And I must say I'm loving the activity, this is probably the second most active storytime I've ever done. Keep it up
>>154945556hehe. cunning.
wait, is this site not still up? I wanted to bookmark it for posterity.
>>154945575The Reiko site went down in like 2010 and stopped being used for anything after 2004. She moved to Keenspace/ComicsGenesis for a while
>>154945588well comicgenesis is still up! was it complete there?
Issue 7.5 - Kink's Awakening
>>154945140Yes. I just commented because Potchari and Momoe both had several fat related gags and the former keeps eating a ton of cheesecake
>>154942625bumping for reading tomorrow, thanks anon
>>154945760Oh, you are in for a ride.
>>154944952>wax play>>154944961>swing>whips>domino mask and bunny earsI like her
Issue 8 - A New Student Comes to Musashi High
I'm taking a break, and If I'm not back within half an hour it means I'm done for the night and will resume in 15 hours
>>154945868>otaku belli'm SICKENED i didn't think of that first
>>154946209>Otaku Bell>Taco BellOH MY GOD I JUST GOT THE JOKE
>>154946241I am also surprised I never did a 'tako bell' joke, a restaurant selling octopus
>>154945699Political commentary? In MY horny anime comic ?!
>>154946442not even sure what it's on about, especially in 2000. the joke everyone was making was how dull and boring politics was, that all the candidates were basically the same.It's only really more recently that whoever yells the loudest wins, and shockingly few people pick up on the fact that that's only being done for media views.
>>154946586Steph was always definitely politically savy. One of the oldest pieces of art we have of hers saved is Bill Clinton having a fling with Lum from 1998
>>154946710kekdid she go on to do anything else I could check out?
Yeah I'm calling it a night, here's a little teaser for tomorrow, about 13-14 hours from now.>>154946821I plan to storytime all her stuff over the rest of August/start of September. So I'll get to it, don't worry
>>154946821(the answer is yes, quite a bit, but I'll be storytiming all of it in the next few weeks so just wait)
>>154946910cool i'll just constantly watch the catalog oh waitwait, so this IS the Creamy Beamy person? I should have known.
>>154946963Yes....but that image has nothing to do with that that's a character from the next Reiko issue we're doing tomorrow
>>154946910Ah we're doing the Futurama/Sailor Moon parody chapter next, nice. I'm looking forward to the Moby Dick one. Have any pages from the 2004 revival been found yet?>>154946963Isn't Reiko in Creamy Beamy?
Has it really already been a year?>>154945760Make sure you catch the Creamy Beamy storytime too, it's by far the best.
>>154947814OP is actually late. Last year these started in May and were ending in August
>>154942662I actually find it kinda charming how amateur it looks.
Reading bump
