In the more classy version of the situation in movies and TV, there’s a sullen moment then a cut to a tasteful sex scene with something like Iron & Wine or Death Cab for Cutie playing.
Another version would have the same first panel then cut to them in bed smoking after the sex.
Hey-oh, some drama. I guess that was implicit with their being a flashback about why Ryan hates his dad.
Ginger heard “cater” before “police”. Food is THAT IMPORTANT.
I would have had some backgrounds there but the comic was late was it was…
Mrs. Day? What the? Isn’t Ryan’s last name Page? Yea, that will be explained soon.
Oh Ryan in the past, don’t you know better than to say such things?
Man, looks like Ryan needed a haircut back then…
Also, the Metails are the most important part of any story.
“Oh man, here’s a great story about Steve. See, Steve was going to the store. By the way, while this was going on, I was at home having a good lunch. There was a sandwich made of….”
Holy Shit! 100 comics?!
…
Yea, not as impressive as it use to be, I admit, but I’m proud of it. I’m going to take some time today to reflect on how I’ve improved, where I’m head, and all that after 100 strips and I look forward to the next 100 and beyond.
I want to thank you kind folks for reading. I hope you get as much entertainment from the comic as I do. Thanks again and I hope you keep spreading the word about the comic.
As for what’s going on in this strip… Oh look, I think next week might have a hint of back story.
Okay, so one of those lines is modified (I left out “I can see that now”) and some of the lines are from the second movie… but I loves me my Jurassic Park. And I know at least one other person will enjoy this comic.
In this world, Kilgore Trout is more than just a character in Kurt Vonngeut books. His books are also slightly easier to find than in Vonnegut’s books. (Also, this Kilgore Trout is Vonnegut’s Trout, not Farmer using the pen name.)
Thinking about it, hipster culture would probably be the reason Trout’s books are easier to find. The crazy sci-fi writings of Trout would certainly attract the attention of a certain class of hipster and some publisher or another would look to bank on that. Kelly probably came upon his books by chance because of that. It looks like Ginger wasn’t impressed by the writing.
As for Ting-a-ling, it’s Trout’s repeated line in Timequake.
First things first, comic went up middle of the day because yesterday, July 12, 2009, I was at a wedding. Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Jeremy Smith!
Now, let’s read the comic. Hey-o! They’re back in that coffee shop from the first couple of strips.
The hedgehog’s name wasn’t brought up before because Kelly hadn’t named him yet and Ginger hadn’t asked because she just assumed hedgehog = Sonic.
And finally – as you can see I’m tweaking some drawing stylings after getting some constructive criticisms and then talking to Jamie about how I should address them. Thanks Jamie! We’ll play with the artistic tweaks this week and see what people think.
Shop smart. Shop S-Mart.
Just a quick random aside – Japan, care to explain? Because I have no idea.
I really like drawing the hedgehog. I will get better at doing so, causing me to enjoy drawing it even more.
Ya know, I was recently told I made depressing comics. I think that’s a slight exaggeration.
Sure, the clouds are gray in this one, but there’s been a lot of rain this year! It’s realistic! Or something.
Based off a real conversation with a fellow named Greg.
Buh, this comic was a little rushed so it’s a notch below what I’d have liked on quality. Still, it’s better than some stuff I’ve drawn in the past.
Guess who those two are based off of?
Also: Exposition, exposition, exposition, exposition. It makes a certain kind of sense though – This way Ginger knows how confident these two are about the business plan they helped her make up.
