Veronica: We’re nearing the end of summer vacation already..

When I used to post these updates to DeviantArt, I was actually updating as time passed in real life, so by the time I drew the eighth grade finale, we were already into the end of July if I remember correctly. And High School tends to end at the end of June at the LATEST. So I had very little time to squeeze summer vacation comics out if I wanted to keep up with the current time!

Luckily for me, I eventually decided that following current time was impossible, especially if I wanted to spend more time making the comics and planning events out properly.

And, I mean.. as of 2021, the characters are only now getting to the end of 2008. Time slowed to a crawl over in BCB land..

One amusing bit to add is that I actually did RESEARCH to find what books to have Mike reading. My friend was going to ninth grade at the time and he was made to read “Things Fall Apart”.. so that’s why I chose that as the book for Mike to read. I feel embarrassed because when I went to Honours English in my senior year, I was made to read “Things Fall Apart”.. I don’t know why I was issued it so late yet my friend got it so early in his school! Maybe my school was just stupid.

Or maybe I’m stupid, I only got to Honours English in senior year and that was due to an error!!!!! I still survived it…
