Author commentary

Veronica: This is the first comic I drew on a completely new and different notebook. This could also be seen as the first comic where I decide to put more effort.. and also the first comic where I decided that this series will officially be a running one. By this time, I was putting in little bits of information I had not thought about previously.. like their ages, their grade, the works. The only possible inaccuracy at this point is heights. Ah well!

The punchline sucks, I always thought. Kinda weak.. I literally sat there for a good five-ten minutes staring at that last panel, wondering what kind of good dialogue to place.. as you can see, I gave up.

Taeshi, wtf are you talking about. This page was up to your usual standard of brilliance, hell, better yet because it gives us an idea as to what kind of things they listen to. I feel like doing a kind of “BCB characters’ iPod playlist” video.

I’m hurt. Not all anime fans are like that (I do wish they put Japanese songs at dances, though. Then I’d be more inclined to go.).

I would LOVE to play Weird Al’s “One More Minute” as a prank if I were a DJ at a prom. I’d probably get beaten to death, but it’d be SO worth it.

Not sure who that chick is, but, Utada Hikaru sounds pretty freaking awesome for a dance or whatever. I think some Weird Al would be cool, but definitely not a lot of it. Romantic music is a must, along with whatever’s hot at the time, and I love how rap music is biased like “generic crappy rap music”. Someone doesn’t like rap.

I just happened to stumble across this pleasant comic. Nice work!
I make a suggestion for Foreigner, good music. I do like Weird Al too. But that is not the stuff to listen to at a dance! Maybe on a bike ride but at a dance? Heck no!
So ya, Foreigner, would be perfect…

The Guy in the Background May 6, 2012, 1:15 PM EST.

Jimi Hendrix, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Joe Walsh, etc.
Also I agree with Guy in the Background’s suggestion with Foreigner.
AND just for the ladies…
