Development
The idea of a Funny Wars concept started popping up during the film's development. It didn't get very far beyond a few suggestions. After the film's cancellation, however, IoI_xD began to push for it harder. With agreement from the other 2 people working on Funny Wars, a site (https://funnywa.rs) was purchased. Originally envisoned with 3D models, work on the comic didn't start for many months until one of the artists bought a drawing tablet. With 2D art as an option, planning started up again. After a few more months, Issue 1 was scripted, drawn, and released, with the next 7 issues having a plot synopsis ready.
Work on the second one took a few months to get started, but otherwise went the same as the first issue did. Work on the third one was interrupted by drama that had started in the friend group.

One of the two people had decided that the comic was a bad idea, and instead decided that work should be shifted to an animated series, which was never produced. After months of IoI_xD complaining about the situation, the main artist decided to push out a third issue drawn in ms paint in 10 minutes as a joke, and actually told the website host to put it online. That was the final issue.
The team agrees that something should be done with the characters, but there is otherwise an indefinite hiatus. At some point, the main artist decided they were tired o
