14. Field Day, chapter posted 8/4/06

Page 1 of 12

Author commentary

Veronica: If “Pep Rally” had an older sister, it’s definitely this chapter. For a while, I was wanting to dedicate a chapter to field days.. which, for those who don’t know, is just some time in school when everyone is sent outdoors and they just do dozens of sports-related activities. Some people race, some throw little hoop-thingies onto a cone.. or some just blow it off by being lazy and polishing their nails. Whichever comes first.

Daisy is as cheerful as always, and Paulo is just showing more of that “Ohoho, I am being badass, but oh wait a wild Daisy approaches better not be that way” characteristic.. I really haven’t shown stuff like that enough. Paulo normally acts like himself even with Daisy around.. but there are those moments.

I make too many references to Di Gi Charat.. that’s where I got the “Ayu beeeeem” from.

It’s been a long time since I last heard “Ayu Beem!” I love this reference (even though I didn’t get it until you remind it to your notes ^^; ).

Yashy, you still like to keep pushing them buttons, don’t u? I want later eyes. They seem so fun. Paul, you are a hipocrip. Is it spelled right?

This comic really can’t stay serious for more than 10 seconds, except during the Confrontation scene. You know what I mean.

Lucy’s character seems impossibly inconsistent. She seems all buddy buddy with everyone in earlier strips, and only calls people jerks or argues like friends could be expected to, but in these strips she seems pretty violent, verbally, and doesn’t appear to respect her friends.

Okies, I’ll change it for 14 chapters! Awww, Yashy and Sue are my favorite characters. Yashy is so funny and also Sue!

lawl I remember when in one of my field days I was being a dumb *** with my best friends mason and zane, mason dared me to roll down the benches……the aftermath was that my head was bleeding…..:D I had to hide it im my hat just to not look like an idiot….heh and after that I ‘managed’ to get through the day ‘without’ taking my hat off………..as for the benches….well I had to somehow hide the blood………heh….-_(\
