   I love the concept and the idea behind it, but for the life of me, I cannot place the caveman dude. Nice job. Reply to this comment.

   Great comic, but the last one should be Professor Layton. Reply to this comment.

   Electroplankton thingy, Cheep Cheep, Frogger, Ivysaur, Donkey Kong, some caveman… I have no idea who that is… is it like Bonk or someone obscure like that who no one knows?, Link, Master Chief. You’re missing the part where Master Chief evolves into Show ▼ Tabuu Reply to this comment.

   Caveman is Bonk I believe. Good comic. Reply to this comment.

   I’m pretty sure the caveman is Bonk. Great comic, guys! I think I might use it as my desktop wallpaper… Reply to this comment.

   I’d have to say this is the first one I really didn’t like. I think having all Nintendo and going up to Master Chief is like a shot at Nintendo saying they’re at the lower end of the evolutionary cycle. Going from DK to Link was cool, but ending w/ Master Chief? Why not Samus? The whole thing is influenced by males. Ending w/ a female, especially a Nintendo one, would spice it up a bit.

    Author Comment Kevin, There was some thought as to doing it all Mario, but the progression didn’t seem right. It’s actually not all Nintendo even without Master Chief as Bonk and Frogger are not Nintendo characters. But Samus WAS a consideration for the final ‘futuristic’ character. It’s funny because the idea for this comic ‘evolved’ a lot. I’ll share more about it in our next podcast. Reply to this comment.

    HOW DARE YOU PUT LINK BEHIND MASTER CHEIF! No seriously, what were you thinking? Reply to this comment.

14. 14 Chris Posted: Apr 3rd, 2008 at 5:07 am

    I’d have used J.C. Denton instead of Master Chief. Much cooler. Perhaps Chuck Rock or the Lost Vikings in place of whatever that thing is in the ‘early man’ spot, too. Reply to this comment.

15. 15 Hubert Posted: Apr 3rd, 2008 at 5:20 am

    Nice comic, this one could be a version 1 and you could really do other version or a part 2. Would be nice. But that’s just my opinion. Reply to this comment.

16. 16 Defenestrator2.0 Posted: Apr 3rd, 2008 at 5:26 am

    HOW DARE YOU PUT LINK BEHIND MASTER CHEIF! No seriously, what were you thinking? Um, because Master Chief is taller than Link? He’s about seven feet tall, if I’m not mistaken. (I could be wrong, but it’s no less than six.) Reply to this comment.

17. 17 Troy Posted: Apr 3rd, 2008 at 5:37 am

    I thought this was a good comic until Master Chief. Maybe in the next one you could have Mario come in and stomp him. Reply to this comment.

    Electroplankton (a Hanenbow to be precise) -into- Cheep Cheep -into- Frogger -into- Ivysaur -into- Donkey Kong -into- Some caveman guy everyone seems to think is named Bonk -into- Link -into- Master Chief (I know, it should be Mario/Tabuu/J.C.Denton standing there and I agree with those who came up with those ideas) Reply to this comment.

19. 19 tustin Posted: Apr 3rd, 2008 at 7:45 am

    HOW DARE YOU PUT LINK BEHIND MASTER CHEIF! No seriously, what were you thinking? Ummm… because Link has a sword and shield like a medieval knight and Master Chief has a spacesuit, guns, and has encountered aliens?! MAYBE?! Reply to this comment.

20. 20 tustin Posted: Apr 3rd, 2008 at 7:49 am

    And actually (sorry about double post) I think Tabuu is more of a God-like character than a super-advanced human being. After all, he basically flapped his psychedelic wings and everyone died/turned into trophies. (Did he appear in any other game besides Brawl?) This would mean that Brawl is being sacreligious!! THEY’RE KILLING A GOD!!! A mean and evil one… but still… Reply to this comment.

21. 21 RD Posted: Apr 3rd, 2008 at 7:54 am

    No PS love at all? I’m sure you could’ve fit Solid Snake, Kratos, Sephiroth or Crash Bandicoot in there somewhere. Reply to this comment.

    You know you’re old when you recognize Bonk right off but you have to look in the comments & use google to find out what the Pokemon is. Reply to this comment.

    At first, I didn’t get it, I thought you were implying that Halo is better than LoZ. but then I noticed that each character fits almost perfectly with the famous Evolution poster. NCG. Reply to this comment.

    Sorry for double post, but anything involving Show ▼ Tabuu should be in a spoiler tag. Reply to this comment.

    funny idea, though it seems a bit nintendo-weighted. What was the 1st character? personally I would have put pacman or a space invader in the water. Also, there’s no human. we go from elf to superhuman but I’m probably overthinking this a bit. Reply to this comment.

    I think Master Chief should evolve in into Sonic. And then Sonic into Wolf-Sonic . Reply to this comment.

32. 32 Ema Posted: Apr 3rd, 2008 at 10:44 pm

    I disagree with this, putting Master Chief in there just ruined everything. Why do people think a dumb green power ranger fps game that is the same old thing as the other FPS except u get to play a gay ass ranger is all cool? Reply to this comment.

    Somewhere after bonk you should have put Zonk in there, I would have loved that. Reply to this comment.

35. 35 JWatts Posted: Apr 4th, 2008 at 8:44 am

    Bonk was pretty obvious to me, from the Adventures of Bonk on the TurboGraphix-16 and PC Engine in Japan. I think this is a great comic too Reply to this comment.

36. 36 Yeah and... Posted: Apr 4th, 2008 at 10:58 am

    This is way cool from an evolutionary stand point but maybe… like a game evolution from first game to newest era, side by side with human evo joke ya know like… maybe we did it wrong lol, i mean it’d go lil dot from Pong, then like pacman then some aquatic thing i’m unsure of then like dk and so on until it gets to current games, they were’n't in evo. order and that’d be funny next to how we did it i think, just an idea great comic btw keep em comin u rock Reply to this comment.

42. 42 Tristan Posted: Apr 6th, 2008 at 10:35 am

    i liked RD’s idea that it should be Snake at the end, i think that would work. plus, according to his brawl trophy, as best as i can remember, he has an IQ of 180, and is a master of 6 lanugauges. I dont think master cheif can claim as much. on a side note, my freind cooper is making a little brawl video and he sent me a copy of the script. hopefully, when it’s done he’ll upload it onto youtube or something. Cooper is doing the voice of Snake. thats why i thought of it, with all the talk bout snake. Snake! SNAAAAAAAKE!!! Reply to this comment.

43. 43 Tarpo Posted: Apr 6th, 2008 at 11:13 am

    Without looking at the comments I wonder how many people have whined about how they aren’t in order or just hate that Bonk is in there. Reply to this comment.

45. 45 Andrew Posted: Apr 7th, 2008 at 7:49 am

    Bonk is ok, but you should definitely switch Master Chief out for Samus. Also, they should change Harry Potter so Dumbledore lives, and in the Lord of the Rings it would be good if Frodo could have a horse for his trip to Mordor. Then they should re-release Memento with everything in the right order, and maybe the Marx Brothers could change Duck Soup so that Mussolini likes it. Reply to this comment.

    Seriously? Only about four people here have ever heard of Bonk (Otherwise known as B.C. Kid)? If you have’nt ever played the awsome Turbographix games starring him (Bonk, Bonk 2, Air Zonk!!!!!!!, Super Air Zonk) and you own a Wii then for goram sakes download them(At least Air Zonk!). They’re like a fiver apiece and the Bonk series is a really solid and fun platformer. I can’t say enough about Air Zonk because it happens to be my second favorite side scrolling SHMUP because it’s so crazy and awsome. Reply to this comment.
