#123 Fillet Yahweh Vol. 1

Christ, I don't think there's a single "normal" panel in the entire comic. Damn my overwriting.

1: Al can't help having a sensitive stomach, so Emily needs to just shut her sassy mouth.

8: All needed Iphone apps, by the way.

18: E-rotic-Mail is when you send someone a pornographic email message, but since their HTML is switched off, it comes out in ASCII.

21: I promise, the whole Dickchicks/DikkChikks rivalry hinted at in #100 will appear again. Just…not now.

36: The fisherman was originally going to have a completely different exchange involving Al, but I couldn't find a place for it here. It tickled me, so I'll have to bring him back at some point.

42: If Gary had just been a few inches in front of Al, he'd be having the time of his life. Tragic.

This marks the first time I've used a script for one of these. Normally I do Awesomataz like Curb Your Enthusiasm: I start each comic with a general idea of where I want it to go, with a few key lines images written. I did this becasuse, up until now, I've never known what I was capable of showing until I actually drew it. Now, though, I think I'm confident in my abilities enough to write scenes out ahead of time. If you'd like to read the script for #123, here you go.

After much thought, I've decided that next issue will be the finale of Awesomataz: Season 2. Doing two webcomics at once is very soul-draining, especially if you plan on having anything resembling a life. I don't know if it'll be for one month or several, but I'm going to use the time to finish Smoke Manmuscle, P.I. #13, and build up a decent buffer for when I resume posting.

And don't ask why Season 1 had 100 issues, but Season 2 had only 24. Just the way it is.
