Here’s five comments I especially liked, starting from where I left off. From this part on, there’s a new rule: no comments that I’ve already replied to. It makes my job a bit harder, but I figure it’s more fair this way. Maybe I have something to say in hindsight.
Comic 50: Become Better
Having read a comic about me and my brother, one person asked for a joke from my brother. I re-read their comment and asked my brother if he would draw a comic for my website. He said yes. He’ll think about what he wants in return. I can’t make any promises, but my brother’s comic could happen on this site.
Comic 54: Lights Out
Look, as someone who has trouble remembering birthdays (I have a written list in my room and I still forget it somehow), I’m proud of you.
Comic 57: 100-Meter Drag
This is an opportunity to share I trick I used to draw a chain. First I drew one link in Paint; it was just one rounded rectangle inside another. I copied and pasted it a bunch of times, forming a row. I finished it off by erasing and adding some lines, connecting the links. Rotating the same link over and over made the chain a bit blurry, but it’s too small to notice. Kia sure didn’t.
Comic 60: The Human Rainbow
Last June, I drew a comic where I lined up my characters to make their clothing form a rainbow pattern. I wanted to celebrate Pride Month. Unfortunately, one of the characters had a grey shirt, so I had to kick her out. A comment came to the rescue:
If I remember correctly, the asexual flag has a grey stripe. There’s an idea for next June.
Comic 67: Not Misdirecting
I once complained about wind socks having a stupid name. A few comments thought they could go further. Here’s a comment chain:
To add to the list, I propose that we call kitchen hammers beatie meaties.
Why are you making that face?
Anyway, that’s all I have for today. As I go forward, the comments become more numerous. That’s a good sign.
