A Roll of the Dice

Author notes

Technophobe: Sort of. With special coloring by Nigbun!

Steely Gaze

on Jan. 18, 2009

This is one of those moments where I'm sure Jared questions his willingness to be so helpful, even for his best friend.

Where the hell have I been, you may ask? Well bad tidings struck around a week ago and my main computer was unable to work for longer than a minute at a time. After spending a few days running various tests to assure myself it wasn't the RAM, hard drive, or CPU, I finally came to the conclusion that it was the videocard and got a new one on Friday. A nice little upgrade, but it made me worry about finishing my comic page on time.

Fortunately, the ever-awesome Nigbun stepped up and colored this one for me. It blew my mind. The color job is, easily, much better than I probably would have managed. Many, many, many thanks to her for helping me out, much like Jared is helping Henry now. ;)

Oh, and if you like the coloring, be sure to check out her comic here on DD, Give Me the Sky, a manga influenced fantasy adventure with really pretty art and more of this delectable coloring.

Well now I suppose I really should start catching up on all the comic updates I missed throughout the week.

@Antcomics: I can confirm that the blue slushy thing is, indeed, delicious. And I can't quite decide if Jared is a sucker, or a true friend to be drawn into more of Henry's problems….
@Nigbun: Ah, the sound effect was added, thoughtfully, by CK. She figured it needed a little spicing up, and I think she was right. :)
@Amanda: I hope so, although I don't think it's going to be one of my stronger storylines. :-/
@Trevor: Eight months? Wow, I'd go absolutely crazy and probably end up incarcerated for murder without my PC games. :P
@Reidavidson: Yes, the cause of more of Jared's suffering than I could begin to imagine. XD
@Patrickdevine: Ah, Henry is an utter nerd, but not much of a geek. Jared is more geek than nerd. Neither can exist without the other. ;)
Actually, I've never even played WoW. I just wanted something that sounded close enough to the popular MMO to work with.
@Flup: And I'll raise you a heh, heh, heh. ;)
