Pro April Fool's Day rebuttal.BadFoMo wrote:Spoiler!Not to be the spoil sport/the annoying one who keeps yapping about the same thing, but am I the only person who is simultaneously looking forward to and dreading this year's joke comic if it does happen? I'm fairly certain it will happen since Tom sort of broke his promise of never doing another April Fool’s Day comic last year.
Anyway, I'm not sure that the joke will be Mrs. Nibbly being revealed to be a baby Dragon due to everyone anticipating that. If it is however, I feel it would be… I believe the term is ‘Meh’, similar to how I felt about last year's joke comic; only instead of ‘been there, done that’ it would be ‘saw it coming’.
A mild warning/word of advice to Tom.
If it is going to be ‘Mrs. Nibbly is a Dragon’, make sure to keep this page (the one that is up right now [20170328]) in canon. I'm not sure, but I feel it is an unwritten rule that all April Fool’s Day pranks are to begin and end on that day only and not extend to any other days. Although if this page was leading up to/was a part of the joke, it would not be as bad as 2014's saga (which you uploaded to DeviantArt so it wouldn't be cluttering up the archives, and to remind yourself why you shouldn't do that again), but I still feel like I would be quoting Linkara from Atop the Fourth Wall when he reached the end of Amazons Attack.
Spoiler!
Personally, I've never agreed with Tom's decision to never do April Fool's Day comics after the Alaric fiasco.
First, they're a tradition for Tom that dates back nearly to the inception of the comic, and quite frankly, it should have been expected. (I will accede that him coming out mid comic to outright say it was legit might have been a touch off, but still, it's really not the felony you make it out to be.)
Second, TwoKinds is Tom's baby, and if he wants to have a bit of completely harmless fun with it on the main stage during the time of the year that is designated as a time for silliness, then more power to him.
The problem here that I see is that people who claim to enjoy TK attacked its author so fiercely over a harmless 'what-if' fun comic week that Tom was beaten to the point of no longer wanting to have the kind of fun he'd been putting out for his baby since 2005.
That's the real crime here.
