I think this may the most meta, self-referencing, context-dependent BVB page of all time. I mean, here’s a series that’s already pretty Saturday-morning-cartoon-influenced imagined as a different sort of cartoon, as drawn by a character in-universe.
I really, really love doing these bad, in-character drawings — the previous ones were here and here. Thanks for the question, original writer of this letter!
Could the Sourballs do a song with a positive lesson like the Candy Hearts just did? I asked myself that question, and the answers were 1) nah, probably not, and 2) this comic.
Sorry this one took so long. Personal reasons. Shitty week. Better now.
I normally try to avoid giving my fictional bands names that exist as actual bands…but sometimes that’s a losing battle due to the high odds of basically any phrase having been used by someone, somewhere to name a band. I liked a lot of these enough that I decided that I didn’t care, and intentionally didn’t look most of them up. If real ones exist, I’m inclined to view it like how the Danzig Misfits and the Pizzazz Misfits were (unfortunately) unrelated.
It’s been too long since we had a song — especially a song with questionable advice and moralizing!
…Actually, I don’t think this one is entirely terrible advice. I came out to a cat as the first step before telling any humans, and I highly recommend it.
Possible discussion point: Which BVB song so far has made you most want to hear (or imagine) what the hell the music would sound like?
So, this might end up being the only BVB sequence ever where it’s Arsenic who’s being the most responsible-acting character in the room.
