Heh, this flashback occurs in 1997 in case anyone's wondering. Though not much has changed it seems.

And now we jump from 'creepy' to 'really creepy'. Remind me never to lose weight >_>

Invisible, eh? I can remember having similar thoughts through most of high school. The triple threat of growing like a weed, being built like a 19th century strongman, and attending a school with a dressy casual (button-down shirt and slacks) dress code always made me pretty self-conscious. I loathe Kakhis. Graduating and being able to wear jeans, t-shirts, and sandals full-time if I so chose was liberation.

Updater seems broken. Oh well, it's only a pencilled page at this point.

I like the way the background is white with black kind of "oozing" down, like in the last picture of the panel. I think its a clever way of making the reader see when something shocking or upsetting is revealed to a character. Can almost hear background music going along with fade to black. You know, the kind they use in soaps when Jake finds out his girlfriend Michelle is actually a Micheal, just before the show goes off for the day.

I like those oozy backgrounds. It reminds me of Shannon Wheeler and Dave Cooper. And that creepy Daffy Duck cartoon in which Bugs Bunny screws with Daffy.

Hehe, I know the cartoon you're talking about. I would say that shows my age but fortunately the Cartoon Network is around to keep toons like that on the air.

Keenspace is broken again.

Server is broken again. Here's the unfinished page that I was talking about that didn't go up:

Ahhh, I like the effect of inked characters against penciled backgrounds. I don't know why, but it's pretty cool to me.

Also, if the CG server breaks again, I'm going to punch the first infant I see. Lucky for them I don't leave the house much.

Nice lines. "Maine" Lounge?

TheSuburbanLetdown · Post by **TheSuburbanLetdown** » Wed Jun 06, 2007 12:23 pm

Yeah, It was originally a mistake, but I though it sounded funnier to leave it that way. Not sure if I should leave it though.

It probably wouldn't stick out to anyone who didn't go to our school. Just making sure it was something you'd noticed. I say leave it; I kind of like it too.

Huh, I'd assume said lounge was named after Maine. But apparently, I'm missing an in-joke somewhere. That seems to happen quite a lot with this comic. You elitist bastards.

Cool page, btw. The bagel strikes again.

Infants run the CG server?

TheSuburbanLetdown · Post by **TheSuburbanLetdown** » Wed Jun 06, 2007 5:50 pm

Oh there's no in-joke here. It's really the Main Lounge, but if someone didn't go to our school, there's no reason for them to beleive that it couldn't be the Maine Lounge. I have a lot of references that only a few people would get, but I make sure they're things that aren't major to the plot. They're mainly things that people who know would just go, "heh, I remember that." But to anyone else it would just be like a sign on the wall.

I was hoping the bagel would be visable. It'll be clearer I hope when I finish the page.

Nah, they run on little hamster wheels that power the server.

With whips.

I guess a couple of them got whipped to death and stopped running and therefore, the server doesn't run as well now. Basically, we need more hamsters. That will fix things.

In the meantime, put the infants in there.
