Vic Video

Vic Video is a character introduced in the Donkey Kong-inspired strip featured in the first issue of Blip. Vic is a news reporter who tries to interview Mario, a damsel resembling Pauline, and Donkey Kong. He is rude and inconsiderate, knocking Mario's lunch in his face and asking Donkey Kong about his "reputation for stupidity". Despite this, Mario still chooses to rescue him from a high drop, and by the end of the strip, he appears to be the only one concerned with getting down from the top of the towering structure.
