I was having a conversation with Ray one day about making websites. I told him that I had great ideas, but I just wasn't that good at making comics. I then told him about the idea for this comic. After hearing it, Ray said, "Go for it." Unfortunately, I still couldn't make a nice looking comic by myself, and I didn't know anybody who could make it for me. Later that day, I was watching Code Monkeys. That's when something clicked in my mind. I thought back to Tim and Ray's podcast about Megaman 9 and it's 8-bit graphics. I then thought to myself, "I can make an 8-bit comic, and still have it look nice!"

This comic was made in Paint with all but one of the default colors. I actually put another video game reference in the comic. It's pretty obvious, but I want to see if anyone noticed it. Who knows? Maybe I can eventually make 16-bit comics!

As a big fan of retro games, I fell in love with 8-bit Tim and Ray! MetaRidley sent along the logo first and after my response, sent along the comic as well. I made some minor modifications to his logo characters that aren't reflected in the comic to make us a little less blocky. Now I just need a game programmer to create an NES RPG using Tim & Ray's 8-bit sprites!
