= Actor Tomfoolery Prevention =

Actor Tomfoolery Prevention (ATP for short) is a horror/comedy web-comic written and drawn by MRR/M.R.R. and it was officially released on May 19th, 2021 on DeviantArt.

On February 11th, a remake under the name: Actor Tomfoolery Prevention: Rebuilt, was released on Newgrounds.

The comic is about a nameless biker finding a very "unusual" way to separate the demented voice actors from the characters they play on TV.

Probably, this was made due to the scandal of the infamous KickVic event, started by former Channel Awesome associate; Kaylyn Saucedo.



Overall

 * 1) The comic is a breath of fresh air that stands againest the over-whelming amount of audiovisual woke propaganda for TV shows/films nowadays.
 * 2) Vlad and Kaiser-Hund are both likeable, despite the mess they´ve caused.
 * 3) This comic would eventually make Vlad get more recognition, to the point of having three more web-comics starring him (those being "With "Harely" Any Evidence", "Makilla Gokilla"" and "Delicious Dumbass"), and a full-length comic in the works, as confirmed by M.R.R. in an interview.

Original

 * 1) The comic is a parody to IKEA Instruction Booklets, but more detailed.
 * 2) * And despite being grim, it doesn´t go too grim-dark, it also has social satire, like on Step 8, where it´s confirmed through headlines that, by scientifc studies, game journalists have brain cancer (probably this was made to mock game journalism incompetence, mostly from IGN and Kotaku).
 * 3) It´s also one of the few comics nowadays that has the balls to criticize this society´s woke status.
 * 4) * Also, this is the perfect middle finger to KickVic supporters.
 * 5) Interesting concepts like the sentient voice modules and the robo-dog in the final vignette.
 * 6) The cover looks cool, as it´s reminiscent of Army Of Darkness (the one on this page)
 * 7) The art-style looks like a mix between Herge (Tintin) and Mike Mignola (Hellboy).
 * 8) Vlad is quite a very ludricrous yet charming protagonist, pretty much in the same vein as "Deadpool" (except without powers, just some warehouse tools and that´s it).
 * 9) The outrageous climax itself.
 * 10) Only true comic-book/manga/videogame fans will be able to spot all the easter eggs throught the comic.
 * 11) "One of the most brutal yet viable solutions to these type of problems"

Rebuilt

 * 1) The comic feels more like a legitimate IKEA instruction booklet now.
 * 2) It now shows how Vlad met up with Kaiser-Hund.
 * 3) The steps now being replaced by visuals makes the experience more entertaining.
 * 4) SPOILER: The aftermath is about as hilarious as the original´s climax.

Overall

 * 1) The excessive gore on both versions. Enough said.

Original

 * 1) It can get disturbing in some vignettes.
 * 2) * Specially on Step 11, where one of the deceased actor´s head has a close-up
 * 3) There are some plot-holes that don´t make any sense at all, like who was that guy on the motel´s roof on Step 6 or how did Vlad carry the bodies on the bike.
 * 4) The art-style can also look a bit basic in some scenes.

Rebuilt

 * 1) The way the voice actors (victims in Vlad´s case) are portrayed now is disgusting.
 * 2) * To be fair, their behaviour here is actually based on the heinous actions they did, in Wiedenheft´s case, indirectly supporting child abuse by defending his pedophile brother, and in Sabat´s case, multiple sex scandals.
 * 3) The aftermath also features some even more gruesome imagery, such as Susan Wojcicki (Youtube´s CEO) being beheaded and impaled or the "Jinpork" (MRR´s way to refer Jinping) being sliced and diced with a chainsaw.
 * 4) * And to add the cherry on top of the rotting-corpse sundae, the Jinpork has the flag of it´s country shoved up his ass.

Trivia

 * 1) Originally, M.R.R. had no plans to make this comic at the time, but after he found out that Amanda Winn-Lee (who played Pandy on Dead Leaves) turned out to be a stupid KickVic supporter,he decided to do it, not only to mock Amanda Winn-Lee and corrupt actors/voice actors in general, but to also tell every single KickVic supporter to fuck themshelves.
 * 2) This comic is also Vlad Boomer´s debut.
 * 3) The dog-faced war-machine, believe it or not, was actually a real thing, they were experiments during the cold war that involved a dog´s head that would power up a war-machine.Said experiment was called "The Kollie"
 * 4) * In addition, the main character is called Vladimir which, coincidentally enough, shares name with a very controversial scientist: Vladimir Demijov, who was notoriously known for experimenting with dogs.
 * 5) **Speaking of which, in a private conversation, M.R.R. confirmed that Vladimir Sputnik Boomer (the protagonist´s full name) had no connection with Vladimir Demikhov and he didn´t know about that experiment´s existence by the time he drew the comic.
 * 6) This comic may be comparable towards Maxwell Atoms´ Trepanation Of The Skull and You, considering both ATP and TOTSAY share a similar premise.
 * 7) M.R.R also confirmed on Vlad´s Reference Sheet that he is currently working on an untitled project that will be a continuation of ATP, hinting that Vlad could be the protagonist.
 * 8) If you pay close attention, you can see in the beggining that hints that Vlad previously murdered Kaylyn Saucedo [Original: Second vignette, background/Rebuilt: Aftermath, middle-right].
 * 9) It has been speculated that High Guardian Spice was actually a fever dream Vlad experienced after he had a traffic accident, considering how much MRR hated HGS.
 * 10) Vlad Boomer is, pretty much, an amalgamation of everything that would upset an SJWs/Gen Z snowflake/Millenial.
 * 11) * On top of that, Vlad Boomer is actually called after one of MRR´s middle school friends, which is a nice touch.
