Stinkoman Ragnarok/30

Commentary
And here, we have the first Halloween special comic of the series, where most of the characters who appeared in the series (plus one who didn't) are dressed up (five of whom are dressed up as video game characters). I've always wanted to do a Halloween special where characters dress up. I tried to do that with Other Character Email Gunhaver last year, but not only did I miss the deadline, but it sucked.
Anyway, first up, it's Stinkoman dressed up as a character he's based on, Megaman! It fits, doesn't it? Well, for Stinkoman, the suit is torture, especially to the arms. Maybe we can also count on helmet hair...
Next up is 1-Up dressed up as a ghost with too many eyeholes, which is a little reference to It's the Great Pumpkin, in which Charlie Brown's ghost suit had way too many eyeholes, thanks to his sister. Unfortunately, 1-Up doesn't even know what he says at times. Let's hope he doesn't get rocks when he goes trick-or-treating!
Next up is the ghost of Astromund 326, the Astromund blown up by 1-Up in this comic. He's dressed up as the female Astromund shown here. Is he a cross-dresser? Well, just know that that's not the actual female Astromund. She's not burnt like him.
Next up is the ghost of a Plutoan from one of the early comics. He's apparently dressed up as the Thnikkaman, but obviously, you can't be sure. I kind of think the purple blur outlining the ghost is pretty cool.
Next up is the giant Terrel named Moe, who is colored to slightly resemble a Yoshi egg. The "poor attempt" is to show the difficulty of coloring yourself without any other body parts aside from your head.
Above Moe is Kolky, who's dressed up as a Metroid from the Metroid series. Apparently, Metroids speak in "SKREE"'s, so Kolky tries to imitate the speech, except he can't, since he can only talk in beeps and boops and etc. Maybe next year.
Next up is Astromund 529, still tied up and hanging from... whatever (don't mind physics that much here). He's dressed up as a Sniper Joe from the classic Mega Man series. That's the Sniper Joe eye on his visor. Astromunds and Sniper Joes are similar, right? Shields, suit, visors.
Next up is a re-pixelated evolved Steve dressed up as Blaziken from the Pokemon games. Flamethrower is a fire attack that Blaziken can use. It's appropriate, since they're both chickens.
Steve's two evolved Grundy minions are dressed up as pirates, based on their hats and eye patches.
Almost done. Pan Pan (who never appeared in the series before (sprite made by Joshua, by the way)) is dressed up as his Old-Timey counterpart, Fat Dudley. To tell you the truth, I kind of had fun making the sprite. The hat's based on Homsar's bowler hat in 20X6 Explorers. Pan Pan looks like a smashing gentleman, eh?
Finally, we have Saargtsson, who's dressed up as a witch before he really got to know that witches are females. For your sake (and for the sake of space), the rest of his body isn't shown. Scared by what Saargtsson said by "Not again!"?
Well, there we go. The Halloween special. I wish I saved the background in my sprite sheet before making this comic. The windows were a big pain.
