Hi all,
Just a little warning that next week there will be filler instead of regular comics, as I’m dealing with my finals and the last week of the quarter. And today’s comic marks strip number 190 – only ten to go until 200 comics! Geez. We’ve come a long way. Thanks for sticking with us :)
Oh man a comic. I just realized how incredibly long its been since I’ve had to draw anyone in normal daylight outside by the fence. I don’t even remember how to do regular comics without crazy lighting any more.
P.S. Thanks for the well-wishes on the last post, they healed my hand quite swiftly! :D
…I ran my bike into a chain-link fence the other day, and my hand sort of bit it. So no comic today – but I’ll be back to the drawing board in time for Tuesday :) See you then!
Most of Charlie’s background is blatantly Bridget’s and mine. This is one example. Though I don’t this particular tidbit ever came up.
I also can’t let Bridget take all the credit for this coming week’s break, as the fault is at least equally mine… though I lack the compelling excuse of midterms, and the show I have heretofore been using as an excuse for my lack of productivity closed three weeks ago, so I feel like the statue of limitations there has probably run out. At any rate, I’m sure you’d all rather I dedicate my time to writing rather than thinking up excuses not to, so I’ll get back to you on Tuesday.
From a movie review in today’s New York Times:
“[The main girl's first boyfriend sucks, blah blah blah.] Also, his name is Jeremy, and the laws of Hollywood dictate that no romantic comedy heroine will ever wed a high-achieving Jeremy…”
Though I don’t know if we could actually call Jeremy “high-achieving” so much as “a giant nerd.”
