The Adventures of Dr. McNinja

What is that part of Grandpa McNinja in the second to last frame? His foot? His shoulder?

I suppose this counts as a Psychic Nosebleed? Or Cast from Hit Points?

Man, I want medieval power rangers.

Oh man, now I'm getting a 90s trip.

My various fanfics.

Ohhh, I bet Grandpa knows that flaming skull demon from "A Cumberland Ninja in King Radical's Court".

I remember that show! I used to love it when I was a kid.

Grandpa curses Doc and ends up dying as a result leading to Doc to exercise him from that history to not Speak Ill of the Dead.

If Granpa is the wizard who erased Dr. Mcninja's name, wouldn't he have referred to him as "Grandpa" and not "the wizard" when talking about it with his clone?

I've got fanfics for Frozen, Spectacular Spider-Man, Crash Bandicoot, and Spyro the Dragon.

See my earlier post where I pointed out Gramps is cursed too so that he cannot be known as "Grandpa".

What about the dying from magic part?

Or maybe Grampy doesn't curse his own grandson, and the wizard is another magic user who Doc angers.

I have a message from another time...

Nah, that makes too much sense.

Seriously, though, they are clearly hunting a wizard. Why are we all assuming Grandpa is the wizard that cursed Doc?

Well, he said himself he can't control his magic.

Why are you assuming they're hunting a wizard and this is, indeed, the event which caused Doc to be cursed?

Grandpa isn't a wizard. He's a hedge mage.

It's just silly WMG, stop taking it seriously enough to disprove it.

And we don't know what Radical Twists this webcomic will take and it is glorious.

Yeah, turns out the wizard cursed him because Doc couldn't treat the wizard's diabetes. Thus why Doc hates magic AND diabetes.

That would make a lot of sense.

I'm pretty sure both of those comments were perfectly serious. I love this comic.

It is, indeed, great.

And on the topic of silly speculating, it's funny, but it is a bit of an annoyance sometimes when everyone treats it the same as they do the legitimate speculation.

I can remember people on the MSPA thread reacting to something that was set-up to be completely obvious, so a lot of people were convinced that it was going to be some sort of twist.

The first reaction to it (from a threadgoer, but not on the thread itself proper) that I saw was someone complaining that it was an untwist, and therefore stupid trolling of the fanbase.

So, there's a limit.

Mostly does better things now. Key word mostly. Writes things, but you'll never find them. Or you can ask.

My speculation for Dr. Mcninja is never serious ever.

Pfft. That's silly. You fall for the untwist you have nobody to blame but yourself. And I say that as someone who totally thought it was too obvious.

In a comic like this there's no functional line between silly and serious speculation.

My speculation is always seriously silly.
