This comic was the winner of this month's Patreon poll! Please enjoy our only collab comic (besides Bring Me The Head of Phineas Gage, which had a more traditional writer/artist division)!

A one page collaborative comic. Textual transcript below.

Us and Bitmap made this at the very start of 2013, because she was a big fan of Zelda but had never played the NES version, which was the only Zelda game we HAD played. It was the last time we ever played it too; we liberated our NES and its games not long after. It was a good final send-off for the console.

TEXTUAL TRANSCRIPT:

Bitmap, a trans girl with very long pointy flat cap, glasses, and no other facial features, says into her cell phone, "Hey. Let's play ZELDA." Zelda is in fancy video game letters.

Rogan gives a thumbs-up and says, "We're in!" Sneak makes wiggle-arms and goes, "Yeee!" But lo, everything goes wrong!

2:00: Public transit failure (Bitmap waiting grumpily at a bus stop)

3 PM: Electronics failure (a TV, half of which is a blue screen of death, while the NES displays the blinky red light of despair; off-screen, LB says, "Okay! By the time we fix the Nintendo, the TV will have fixed itself!)

3:15: Cords EVERYWHERE. (Rogan and Sneak tied up in a mess of cords while Bitmap holds up a plug and says "What does this even GO to?")

3:45: mouth-to-mouth resuscitation (Sneak blows into a Nintendo cartridge while Bitmap, who has never owned a Nintendo so is the obvious expert, declares, "You're doing it wrong! It needs WET air!")

4:00: Emergency Nintendo surgery (Bitmap takes a screwdriver to Old Boxy while Sneak and Rogan watch)

4:30: ...??? (Bitmap tilts Old Boxy and says "I'm going to turn it on its side." Sneak goes, "But that doesn't make sense--" only for Bitmap to shout "NINTENDO DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.")

4:45: Success! (The TV works! The Zelda loading screen is on! The Nintendo is tilted! Sneak and Bitmap do a victory dance and cheer while Rogan goes, "All right, let's play!")
