I had Brandy in for a design tweak and was trying out different hairstyles for her (ended up with not much of a change; shorter, bouncier hair than Melissa, with longer sideburn thingies). One of the designs had her hair pulled back in a headband.<P><img src="http://jackiesfridge.keenspace.com/imag ... gif"><P>As you can see, it didn't really work with her personality. So I gave it to Melissa.<P>You'll hear more about ol' Chet before this story arc is done, and W4--I HATE that song!! It makes me want to smash things! RRAA!! Smash smash smash....<P>*ahem*<P>But New York was <a href="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/Forum7/ ... ml">pretty cool</a>. Everyone should go there (but not all at once). <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/wink.gif"><P>------------------

You certainly have made her quite physically expressive. Is this because of her constant frown/sneer, a bit like JoBeth

Woo Hoo! Brandi is back, sarcastic as ever! <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/biggrin.gif"><P>I also like the different hair style for Melissa, with the headband. Permanent change, or just trying something new, BJ?<P>-Zodo

I dunno, everyone I know with that kinda attitude is pretty physically expressive. I like how in the third panel her comment was literally dripping with sarcasm.

Yeah, but she mentions some guy named 'Chet'. I guess that's her boyfriend. *sniff* Yet another character I can't date...<P>-PsychoBlonde

Brandy!<P>I want to see her face off against Pig or ASM. ^_^_v<P>Welcome back, BJ and Joey. How was New York?

So does she hate Chet, want to break up with him, and have a secret passion for goofy blonde chicks? =)<P>-PsychoBlonde

Hm. I hate to say it, but you might get on her nerves. Brandy takes things pretty seriously. <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/eek.gif"><P>Don't hate her for that, though. <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/wink.gif">

...or it could be that I'm just not that consistent.<P>If you take a look at the JF characters, most of them have bangs of some kind that will arc out from the hairline, jutting out from the face at the same distance as the nose. It makes a kind of arc that I like in the profile design. Removing that arc (or any bangs whatsoever) makes the character look kinda' odd--I didn't do the humongous eyes on purpose, it was probably just a subconscious reaction to all that forehead.<P>------------------

Seriousness does not preclude appreciation of goofy/silly behavior. I'm deadly serious about <I>everything</I> - but my seriousness extends to silliness, humor, and related things. It's kind of hard to explain, but that's what it is: Seriousness about silliness. <P>------------------
"There is no boy," he said hopefully.

Woops. Sorry about the song, BJ. @_@;;;<P>Personally, I think Brandy's looking cool. I can't wait to see how she interacts with the rest of the JF crew.

The <A HREF="http://wscholars.keenspace.com" TARGET=_blank>Weishaupt Scholars</A> are watching you. Shouldn't you be watching them back?

Just a note, tho', Michael - Brandy's less being mean to Melissa in today's strip, than she is making her feelings about Ken known. Subtle difference, but there. <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/smile.gif"><P>"I LIVE!"

Of course she's not being mean. She actually likes Melissa.<P>In regard to the hairstyle, I noticed that even with her bangs pulled back, Melissa's eyes grew to take up most of the exposed forehead. The effect seems to make her head look smaller.<P>I also noticed that in the profile, her nose seems longer than normal, though this could be attributed to the fact that her bangs usually bring out her profile a lot more, with the effect of flattening the front plane of her head... The angle of the nose seems to be about the same as it is back in the lollipop strips.<P>-Zodo

Ask out JoBeth. She's blonde too. Very much so.<P>Now she's armed, too. (see the JoBeth forum for details. <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/smile.gif"> )<P>-Zodo

<B>OTOH, psychoblonde said she plays rpgs and computer games, plus she's neat. But she lives on the otherside of the country and would probably say no anyways. Maybe that negates the fictional character thing? <P>I dono.
</B><HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Well, yeah, I play RPGs and compooter games. Probably far too much of them, really. =) The 'neat' thing is all a matter of perspective, I'd guess.
