Author commentary

Veronica: That weird little thing on the side of panel three is a little star with particularly big lips for those who couldn’t make it out. And here’s the long-awaited introduction of Tess! She’s the creation of my friend Lily and you can check out her page at blinkanjell01.deviantart.com .. Tess was given to me as a gift and while I at first didn’t know what to DO with her, Tess has now become a bit of a vital character.. so it’s wonderful to have her around. It’s so amusing how.. different she looks to the design now. Tess totally got a growth spurt in the hair department after a few comics.

Tess isn’t that tall if you see panel eight. She was walking in and David was a bit lower.. in plane or something. They weren’t standing on the exact same platform is what I’m trying to say.. so that’s why David looks shorter.. he’s just closer to us. Daisy is on the same platform as Tess on panel ten, though.

In panel fourteen, I actually wrote “lock” instead of “key” and was pretty much gonna post the comic unedited that way.. Souppy soon told me the mistake and I quickly fixed and rescanned. Nyarhar. IT WAS AN HONEST MISTAKE.

HEY HEEEYYY! In the second panel the girl dog… name is Ki—— something. Anyways, is she missing a leg or am I seeing something wrong? From my minds view it looks as though you left out her right leg far edge line. It seems as though the right leg overlaps the left leg, making it look about half it’s normal size. But the right leg right edge line is missing or else she has bigger legs than I was thinking. I could be wrong ^.^ After posting this I wonder if you’ll even notice it. I can’t tell how far behind everyone else I am.

i’m pretty sure co-ed means mixed-sex education, meaning males and females both allowed in the institution, that has nothing to do with older, higher-grade students working with younger, lower-grade students.

‘I can be anything you want to be.’ Words that wake memories of my past.
Well, enough of that; comedy is ensuing right now.

Um…that panel where David is flirting? Panel 9? Not to sound like I have a sick mind, but I noticed that considering the dog girl’s (her name escapes me) position AND the angle of her face, it almost looks like he’s on top of her in a suggestive pose. Just sayin’. I love this page by the way, it makes me laugh.

“so that’s why David looks shorter.. he’s just closer to us.” I think you’re wrong there, since things appear larger and thus taller the CLOSER, not farther, they are.

****** is insane”Did I ever tell you what the definition of insanity is? Insanity is doing the exact… same ****ing thing… over and over again, expecting… **** to change. That… is crazy; but the first time somebody told me that…I dunno, I thought they were bullshitting me, so boom — I shot him. The thing is, okay… He was right. And then I started seeing: everywhere I looked, everywhere I looked, all these ****ing ******, everywhere I looked, doing the exact same ****ing thing… over and over and over and over again thinking: “This time, it’s gonna be different; no, no, no, no, no, please… This time it’s gonna be different.” …I am sorry, I don’t like the way you are looking at me… Okay, do you have a ****ing problem in your head? Do you think I am bullshitting you? Do you think I am lying? **** you! Okay? **** YOU! It’s okay, man. I’m gonna chill, hermano. I’m gonna chill… The thing is… alright, the thing is: I killed you once already… and it’s not like I am ****ing crazy. It’s okay… It’s like water under the bridge.
Did I ever tell you the definition… of insanity?”
