This is actually going the complete opposite way that I Will Survive was.

The panel of Nick, fully nude after emotionless sex, sitting on the bed his back to his mistress, some sort of fox prostitute, ashamed of himself and his life, next to a nightstand full of bottles of booze, next to a broken lamp, under dirty wallpaper and a nude pinup of an unknown cervine woman, the woman laying facing away from him, cockroaches and cigarette butts on the floor...

this panel is amazing.

I've always hated those sort of cheap puns. It makes no sense from a worldbuilding perspective. :snobtavia:

That's actually specifically something I've been thinking about lately. I often find myself writing fantastical-but-modern settings that wouldn't have our specific cultural touchstones but would probably have comparable ones, and I made a conscious decision to avoid obvious direct expies of real pop culture because it felt kind of hacky. It's not really too hard to come up with a plausible title and broad premise for a fake fantasy sitcom or something, and I think it helps make a world feel a little more lived-in.

That said, I'll accept it in this case since Zootopia is already full of those kinds of puns so it's consistent with the source material, and also because I'm pretty sure the Arbitch's bag is a nod to one of the funnier edits where they break up over Nick's unhealthy obsession with Arby's.

Yeah, of all the dumb, out-of-character ideas that comic has, "cheesy name puns" are the one that fits... although reaching for "bitch" is :roll: for a Disney film.

I think a lot of it depends on how serious you want your setting to be. Zootopia's setting very much isn't serious; in virtually every case, the world will make a joke instead of trying to be rational. For example, Zootopian rabbits being implied to breed like rabbits IRL is funny on the surface but kind of becomes worrying when you remember that in this world, they're people and not just animals. But that's the feeling that Disney wanted, so that's fine for them, and it's fine too if you'd rather not prioritize jokes and cheap puns wherever possible.

I actually was going to add a caveat to "kind of hacky" for that reason, because I meant it felt hacky for my purposes of wanting to give my characters a reality that felt lived-in and genuine so that their relationship can feel genuine too. Different stories with different priorities are going to have different worldbuilding needs.

Bojack Horseman is my gold standard for dumb animal puns, and that show uses them to underline that the characters are living in an absurd world, which fits because one of the big themes is people trying to cope with how ridiculous and senseless life is. I wouldn't call that hacky. There's intention and artistry to it. But if I had put a sitcom called "Friends But Joey Is A Halfling" in my story, that would be kind of hacky, because it doesn't fit and there isn't really any reason for me to do it except saving myself the trouble of thinking up a sitcom in that vein a fantasy world might create on its own. It's just different intentions.

we think that's the case and it probably is the case but holy moly

I Will Survive was 100% done-zo when the internet at large discovered it so there wasn't this tension and creeping terror

borba doesn't actually have narratives outside of one comic, that this is a sequel to i will survive is odd

like ffs in the middle of making this was an illustration of judy's funeral

It's not really a pun, but maybe the Holy Trinity is one of those weird carrots that has multiple (in this case, three) root stems splitting off from the base where the leaves grow?
