Happy Halloween everyone!! May you have fun with friends and eat candy until you feel profoundly ill!!
This comic was a trial, but to be completely honest I’m really happy with how it turned out. A couple of tricky costumes fell into place rather well, and I managed to get it all done in time for Halloween night! I hope you enjoyed it!
Last year had Hannah as Susan Sto Helit, which was promptly guessed, so this year I’ve ramped it up and have given you some pretty tough costumes to guess! Though I’ve also sprinkled a few hints around, so with some guessing and some Googling I think you’ll be able to get them all! Here, I’ll give you one for free: the flower was dressed as Danny DeVito.
BWAAHAHAHAHA
Have a safe and fun night, everyone!
-Jesse
UPDATE: I’ll list the guessed costumes here for simplicity’s sake. Maxx is a catgirl (I’ll give you guys that one, since you were guessing specific catgirls), Aley is Tinkerbell, the Merchant is Mr. Krabs, Cyril is Cyrano de Bergerac, and the Demo is a wild haggis (I seriously can’t believe you got that one). Hannah is Gwynevere. June is the only one left now!
UPDATE 2: Since June has stumped people so far, I’ll start giving out hints:
-She’s a character from a video game.
-The game is quite rare, but is considered a cult classic.
-Oft-mocked and now-defunct company THQ published it for the N64!
-Also, the answer is hidden in Comic 322 🙂
UPDATE 3: Congratulations to Scharling for correctly guessing Brenna, from Aidyn Chronicles! Thanks all for your participation! I already can’t wait for next year’s guessing game!
Aley’s Tinkerbell, the Merchant is Mr. Krabs from SpongeBob, Maxx is some sort of cat. All I got so far
Cyril is Cyrano de Bergerac.
(By the way jesse, tiny-wimey typo. “On variant le ton” should be “En variant le ton”).
Oh, you’re right, thanks. After looking up the original text, I found that ‘pourrait’ should also be ‘pouvait’.
I guess my French is getting pretty seriously rusty…
Oh, and great guesses! All correct!
Jesse, have you seen my crowbar?
Have you spelled the name correctly before?
June is… well… no idea really.
Haha! Aley bell! Hah!
I rushed that comment so I could get first, but since I missed it anyways, here’s some more content. I really like this one! Maxx is Halle berry as cat woman, merchant is mr krabs(fitting), Hannah is a Victorian Era woman, aley is tinker bell, June is… Robin Hood? And I am pretty sure Cyril is a French opera actor.
I love the idea of Maxx being Halle Berry in Cat Woman…so funny! Hurry up and let us know Jesse!
tinker ale
3rd.
Like a boss
PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFAHHAHAHAHAAHA
I think hannah is supposed to be the amazon from dragon’s crown
Jesse really with Hannah >_>
June might be Garrett from the Thief series of games, I could be wrong.
Slime kong is a pumpkin.
King*
lol i mix up my O’s and I’s all the time while typing
Slime Kong… that has some real possibilities. I might have to build one of those for The CraTeR. Hmmmm….
Really? That’s weird. Also plenty of people make crater stuff.
:O
It’s the sheep guy!
…Right……?
Max is one of the cat creatures from disgaea. I forget their names.
Maxx looks silly in that cat costume! xD
The Merchant has the most fitting costume of all. There’s no better costume he could have worn!
ZOHMAHGOD ITS SUPAH MAHRIO!
lol
lol indeed, and btw thanks for the pie you drew for me supeh xD
The demolitionist looks like a type of dwarf. Is he an undead or deep dwarf?
Innae obvious?He is a creature from he homeland!
He should have been William Wallace 😀
No one noticed Jesse used the new biome that is alternative to the corruption?
Well, I’m the first to point out now.
There’s also half-slopes, and bone benches/chairs.
YOU. ARE. FREAKING. COMMANDER. KEEN.
you sir have earned all my respect.
i noticed it before i saw this comment and even if you didnt comment yet i dont think i would need to point it out because i thought everyone here knew what the crimson was (thats what its called btw)
ey, yer right!
Cyrano de Bergerac! Muha!
Natures gift costume is awesome.
methinks maxx is felicia from darkstalkers,
explains the minimal coverage.
I feel bad for the flower.
Love that the Merchant is Mr. Krabs from Spongebob.
I don’t see the flower anywhere…
I bet the demolitionist is a hobbit or something like that.
I think he’s a draugr
My mistake, tuns out he’s a haggis…
*standing ovation for neon_green* How did you know that?
The Merchant is Mrs. Krabs from SpongeBob. Good idea! They have a lot of similarities! They both love money and… Er … Perhaps this is all.
MR. Krabs. Not Mrs. Krabs. If anything Mrs. Krabs would of been his mother. Which yes I know she has been seen in the show before.
Star ocean 4s meracle for maxx?
lol nice XD Love the halloween comic, especially June as it’s so fitting…also, I laughed out loud at Maxx and the kitty costume XD
Oh! oh! i know what nature’s gift is! it’s plantera!
… Really? You don’t read the author’s comment? Or are you just trolling?
I like how your jack-o’-lanterns represent the normal boss progression so far. =P
I dislike that that indicates only one boss a year…
But I still like that. It’s a nice touch. And go at your own pace Jesse. Ignore all us simpletons down here and do as you feel works.
Funny, because last year’s eye of cthulu pumpkin had a Eater of Worlds fight not long after it in the comics.
Judging by the last few story-related comics (before the interviews) You can bet your butter we’ll be seeing good ol’ skeletron soon.
false, Aley defeated the EoC before the Halloween comic
is this why you wanted cat ears?
I believe Maxx is Yoru from Shugo Chara.
Looks like our author here has been having some new fun with the new Crimson lands for Halloween!
I think Maxx’s costume is cute.
Who cares about gender stereotypes?
I think June’s Maid Marian from Robin hood? Or have I been reading too much literature? And I think the Demolitionist is a dwarf from Dwarf Fortress or something..
i know what the demolitionist is. He’s a Haggis.
I’m pretty sure you just won everything. The wild haggis was my ringer! Even with the hints I put in, I was thinking it would be the one to stump everyone. Well I’ll be darned. Nice work.
Well, it was a good little mental challenge peicing clues together. And i will admit that the Haggis and Mr. Krabs were the only ones I actually got. But great job as usual with the comic.
I still think he looks like a hobbit.
What is the Nature’s Gift dressed up as?
… He already said it. Please stop trolling, good sir.
I guess Suidey dont know.BUUUT I KNOW!
Nature is dressed as Danny DeVito
Danny DeVito THAT TALKS TO YOU! KICK IT DANNY!
I actually thought June was an assassin from Assassin’s creed, if you look at it, June does look like she has hidden blades.
Is June Link?
Link has a green hat and green tunic, the blue version of him had blue hat and blue tunic, June’s costume has a blue hat and green tunic, so no she is not link
My guess is June is an Elf. Knives? Elves? Elves using knives? COINCIDENCE?
Or a thief
Is June Eradan or Aragon from The Lord of the rings?
Hey I was going to say that!
Nature’s Gift’s costume.Crimson’s Rage costume?
NO IT’S Danny DeVito!!! Authors comments.
June is from rogue legacy I think
character from magicka? can’t remember the name but you can be him. if not soren from magic the gathering?
is june a hunter? who hunts deer and so on
Jesse deadminerwalking was not the 1st to gess haggis it was Neon_Green go look
no read the time they were posted deadminerwalking was 1:16 and neon’s post was 2:15 on same day so neon wasn’t the first neon was just saying turns out it was a haggis because jesse said it was and he must have read it
Oh lol never mine
If it weren’t for the hoods different colouring, I’d guess that June is Link from the Legend of Zelda series.
The reason is due to the green tunic with the yellow belt, Brown gloves are boots. But because of the hoods different colouring, It killed my guess.
Brown gloves AND boots*
One last clue I missed originally, Which further makes me think my guess is correct. (Aside from the hood colouring)
Last panel, June is talking to a fairy. Anyone who has played some Legend of Zelda games know some sort of fairy travels with Link.
stereotypical Link has a shield and sword
June has a shield, It’s in the Accessories slot. *Cobalt Shield*
Is june some kind of soldier or a scout
i recognize june but cant remember the name
man i love your legend of maxx comic i can’t wait for more and congrats on getting the hammsush in the game
Where are cloaked-advisor-man and swordwielding-hammock-boy and what they are dressed as is the better question.
Is June the thief from Trine?
June looks like one of the NPCs from Final Fantasy 7’s Phantom Village.
That’s all I got.
Final Fantasy 7 doesn’t have a Phantom village
june is robin hood for sure
June is clearly some random person that carries a knife.
Duh.
June is Link from the legend of Zelda?
The pumpkin is a retextured king slime. I can tell from the bottom
The two characters I pity the most in this is the demolitionist and the zombie
Oh! and the flower
Probably the only one who pointed out Tyrone’s costume. :p
Dressed up as something dead so he couldn’t be killed.
Wait a sec…TYRONE IS THE ZOMBIE!
I posted that as a joke, Lol. But it would make sense.
Mind officially BLOWN!!
I think that my idea for what June is is a ringer if you catch my drift. Is she Frodo Baggins?
Is June a girl scout? Did someone already guess that?
My only guess, June’s the Elf from Dragon’s Crown…
is june garrett from thief?
I swear I know exactly who June is but I can’t remember the game.
League of legends? Dota? Rune? I know its one of those three.
guys help him! i think its not dota 2
June might be Ashe from League of Legends.
is june a thief from realm of the mad god?
Your avatar looks like the Blindfold item. You’re lucky. :O
is she from runescape?
btw i think mana flower is dressed up as a sky blue flower x3
tyrone zombie?
the flower is Danny DeVito.
June is probly Robin Hood
You guys have to guess the flower’s costume too. xD
Even though it said that in the description? I think it’s implied.
Is June simply Rogue from Rogue?
i think june is robin hood or link
June still looks like Garret from Thief to me. The slooped blue hood and everything.
Mana flower is in the jungle rose costume
I guess that Junes costume is an assassin from one of the assassins creed games.
More hints please
i think june is the thief from final fantasy 1
Is June the Thief starting class from Dark Souls?
is june faris
from ffV?
June is Brenna from Aidyn Chronicles: The first mage
BAM! You got it! Congratulations!! It’s been a long run XP I guess I’ve learned that there *is* such a thing as too obscure a reference… especially when you’re talking about tiny, poorly drawn sprite characters. If I may ask, what made you figure it out?
Nice Maxx costume, the reason that he is saying “Nya” is a reference to Nyan Cat. Nice one, Jesse!
~=[,,_,,]:3
But what was Flower’s costume?
But what was Flower’s costume?
Isn’t it obvious? Flower was tinker belle.
Merchant guy was mr.krabs
I know this comic is old but I think Maxx is Felicia from Darkstalkers.
Isn’t June a girl assassin hood?
Yay return of the grah
