Becoming, Part I (Comic)

On February 12, 2013, In Comic, By Rachel Cohen

Shinny

You guys. We are so excited to share this story. Over the next two weeks, we’ll be taking a sepia-tinted look at how hockey fans are made, and how that making brings people together. It’s the Shinny origin story! It’s adorable and demented, and it features Rachel’s best art yet. Follow us to Landover and the Capital Centre of yore.

!!!

Stop by next week. You’re gonna love it.

– Peter

    Tucked in jersey in frame three is clear violation of the code…

  • Andrew Merewitz

    I really hope that arena is intentionally supposed to look like the old Capitol Centre

    DUDE. RACHEL, HE IS RIGHT.

    Maybe he pre-dates the code? This was the 90s. Lots of dorky tucked in jerseys back then?!

    I’m reaching.

    I hate the Bruins, for their diving and “punk test”… but they enforce the Jersey code…

    I tried to think of the dorkiest dad-thing. I knew many [dorky] dads when I was little who tucked in EVERY shirt (t-shirt, sports jersey, etc.) Don’t worry, it won’t happen again. SORRY!! D:

    The old Capitol Centre was super hard to draw too! I hadn’t done any architectural drawings in a long long time, and the best reference I could find at the time was like, 250×350 pixels big. So I hope I got the look across! :)

    Haha good point.

    I love those commercials. Best thing Boston has going for it. Next to Passion Pit and the Pixies.

    I actually thought it looked like the Saddledome in Calgary, lol.

    Geez, thanks for the flashback. I really miss the old USAir arena (as it was called when I started going to games).
