The title is not done in any font. It is hand written. HOORAY!

Since Electronic Publishing is a class wherein I actually do something, you instead get an image of Wap Quoire that hadn’t yet been scanned.

During class today, the teacher was giving pointers on how to make a good layout. She pointed out that you needn’t start work on the computer right away. She instructed people to use paper and pencil when coming up with ideas, and, “I [the teacher] know it sounds old school, but use scissors and paste.”

Okay, this is a new comic. Yeah, I know, I start too many, blah blah. As I say in the comic, I draw during the classes when I’m supposed to be taking notes. Now, not everything I draw during these classes can be used as a coherent comic, so don’t expect jokes and punch lines every day. Hell, don’t even expect good art. I fell very Dave Kelly-ish today, so don’t harm me.
Yes, I’m aware the comic says “10/15” – I have no concept of time, see.

And questions, comments, and insults should be made in this forum. Before anyone asks, this is not the comic that was mentioned in the “Throw it all away” thread.

Ghetto-bitch roommate Lametria decides to introduce me to her friend’s roommate, whom she assumes I’ll get along fine with because he’s a gamer, too.
Things I learnt about “TJ”
– He’s a hyperactive gamer dweeb. He is not, by any means, a geek. He knows nothing of hardware or tech, only of face-value of the systems he “collects”
– He’s pushy. Well, not really pushy, more like he doesn’t stay in his own business, or he has no regard for other people’s business. He came into my room, while I was in there, and just started sifting through all my stuff, giddily commenting on everything I owned. Yes, boy, you’re excited, but damn, couldn’t you have asked before you got all in my stuff?
– He loves anime. He’s got furry characters. He’s writing a story of his own. He told me about it. It’s no where near as well though out as mine, though I might just be saying that because I know what’s in my head better than his. Or I could be saying it because he told me the basic plot, and it didn’t seem like anything well-planned – A story writting for the quips rather than the grand plot.
– He’s a Team Artail fan artist. He draws well, but it’s mostly copy work with slight changes to hair and the like. All females look the same, but with different hair/colors, all males look the same, different outfits/hair/etc.
– Troy works in the photo department of Walgreens. Troy has seen some rather provocative photos of TJ.

I dragged the poor boy to the arcade, he was scared off rather quickly by the massive amounts of people kicking his ass at games he though he was great at.

Other things tonight – Troy asked me to get some songs and burn a CD for him. My burner has been on the fritz for a bit – I wasted three discs before it actually worked. I had to disconnect and wait a hell of a long time for it to work properly.

Troy just phoned me – he’s waiting for a bus in front of a bar, and a team of tow trucks (seven in all) are taking a large number of people away. People are running from the bar, bribing the towers to give the car back.

Well, at least Leigh has sense. He didn’t want the flash on the new Rare site. Good on him, too, because it looks like it was done by a first year student. The thing that really bothers me is not the use of imported gifs into the flash, but that the gifs are straight from the old site, and weren’t made to blend into the background of the flash. There’s a gritty, pixelated navy blue outline around each image that really shouldn’t be there.

I decided to cut class tonight. I didn’t have the work done, so I decide just to not go. There’s no real penalty in it.

I decided to get lunch/dinner at the House of Blues. Since it was dinner time, they had a band up on stage.

I ordered, and waited for my food. Boredom hit me, so I broke out the charcoal and did a portrait of the man on stage playing the electric violin. It looked grrrrreat.

After dinner, I had to use the restroom. The attendant in there looked through my sketchbook and liked my work, and asked if I’d do a portrait of her. I charged her five dollars, and got to drawing.

While I was drawing, another woman came in and looked over my shoulder. She asked if I had a card, and I told her no. She handed me one of her cards.

She works for the House of Blues Hotel. She wants me to call her on Monday and discuss doing artwork for her.

Warning, warning, lack of interest in creating comic immanent.

Eggplants love everyone EXCEPT C PROGRAMMERS.

Bishop, the Bishouen Chopstick!

Tallest Blue, the Invader Zim fan character of mine, happens to be the Godmother of Zekk and Sergie’s spawning, Pan.
And Blue spoils the child rotten. Pan likes Cherry Ice Sukkies.

Background images are photos of the place I actually lived. Obvious GIS pastings ahoy. Also, Habitual Stare (O_o) started in high school when Jorenko, myself, and two others were the “administrators” of the high school computer lab & network (we set it up). A printout of O_o was taped to some cardboard and sat in the corner to watch everyone.

I met some artist on the street. He was selling prints and stuff. He let me look through his sketchbook.

He had some Squee fanart :O

I love my kitty.

Um, yeah. After watching the invader Zim episode, “TAK: the Hideous New Girl” I felt the urge to draw this.

Cammi (who was supposed to transfer to my school and be my roommate but didn’t) and TNG (TheNintenGenius). TNG was another scientist, though not as mad as that octopus.
