No, it’s good that people are nitpicking because it makes me realise that you guys are observant so I shouldn’t take shortcuts!
bad lil
i noticed sometimes I draw hands too pudgy so I make them.. with four fingers. Other times, it is five. I am going to punch myself for consistency from now on, but man I really give up when I assume it looks “okay”
BAD LIL BE CONSISTENT
(I wouldn’t be surprised if this error keeps arising in the next like thirty already inked pages, oh god.. BUT I WILL BE A GOOD GIRL I WILL.. in the future oh no)

Andyfox: If you mean the second to last panel, the lines are there, they just weren’t inked in! Which is how the scarf used to be shaded in previous pages
I did a double take for a second there, man am I a screwuuuppppp

Comment ID #2166
PFFT, you may do misses every here and there, but you are no screwup, Taeshi. This is one of my favorite comics mostly because it’s so well drawn. Also the humor.
Now, share with me, what IS the classified information? It is too... Ùh... “Encrypted” for my brains.

new character preview time is my guess as to the voting incentive, plus this chapter will probably only be about picking out the people for the play so i can see a nice long chapter about the play coming up

I don’t hate you,
Would you rather some goofy incentives for some dumb webcomics toplist or actual chapter pages? The whole point of the incentive is just enough to make you curious, not any sort of compelling artwork. I think it’s a bit much that she’s even drawn original art instead of just scanning random sketches for the past two updates.

BCB is basically summed up, in my opinion, with Push Me Away by The Light Goodnight. The lyrics go along with certain characters perfectly. o_o
Anyway, this page made me lol. I love all the expression in these. ;a;

he will be a future swat team member
I don’t hate you: what Souppy said, these doodles take like ten minutes, ten minutes I could very well be using doing more chapter pages. Sooooo.
Also sorry to Word of God on you all, but your assumptions are correct about the guy in the trenchcoat. His best friend thinks plays are for girls, after all. Time to go incognito
Taeshi March 30, 2010, 1:08 AM EST.
Comment ID #2195
Taeshi, i’m not saying that they were boring or not good to look at.
I thought they looked kinda fuzzy like you were rushing a little.
And like i said about daisy on a daisy, that was crystal clear i really liked it.
So i am just saying the pics look really fuzzy compared to what you usually do.
I don't hate you March 30, 2010, 9:44 AM EST.
Comment ID #2198
Daisy on a Daisy was drawn traditionally, the others were drawn on Oekaki. That might be the reason why. Maybe they were resized by mistake? Unless you’re using the term “fuzzy” incorrectly because the linearta were done in the oekaki pencil tool so they would be very solid.

Oh my god Michael Scott
*dead lame*
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Also I recall Mezmo asked about Lucy’s voice.. It’s really hard to describe because when I think of a singer I think of their normal voice.. and I can’t really picture Lucy’s normal voice for some reason, maybe because I don’t imagine her having a loud tsundere Asuka-like voice. I always imagined it to be oddly sweet like how she looks.. which makes her roughness odd. Like having Tomoyo telling people to **** off">********.
Not that she would have Tomoyo’s voice, but it’s kind of similar in a “sweet, softspoken” way. It is odd. For a character like her I mean.
There’s a lot of Spanish songs I imagine Lucy singing

David didn’t steal McCain’s get-up. McCain dresses like Morpheus from The Matrix, with a long black coat and oval sunglasses and no hat; nothing like the light-brown trench coat, half-moon shades, and hat that David is wearing here.
Also, lol at Michael Swhat, which would make him a SWAT Kat!
