For the Lovers

It was about at this point in the comic that I first posted this. The characters in the comic are from here out, engaged to be married. Their real life counterparts have been married more than two years at this point, with a baby on the way. We all have name ideas for the baby. Becky wants to name it Elliot. Chuck wants to name it "Baby-Chuck The-Hammer-Of-Judgment Goodwin." I'd like it to be named "Doctor." See, the you push him into medicine and he'd be Dr.Doctor. Even if he didn't he'd be at a like a play, and someone would have a heart attack and they'd be like "Is there a Doctor in the house?! Is there a Doctor in the house!?" He'd have to be like "Sort of…"

Anyway, Chuck and Becky getting married was a long time coming. IRL Becky isn't always mad at Chuck, in fact considering the maturity of our antics, she's really pretty awesome about everything. It's been a bit of a goal of mine to make Becky a more lovable character as the comic proceeds, while maintaining her exasperation of Chuck's ridiculous antics. Unfortunately I think early in the comic she came off kind of as a bitch, which is something I regret. I've always liked Becky alot, Becky and Chuck's wedding was like two of my best friends getting married. I actually met Becky the same time Chuck did, which I think is pretty cool, and will be a great comic storyline if I eventually go back and tell the story of freshman sophomore year. You may or may not know, but the comic begins during final exams of sophmore year, by that time alot has already happened to us and, especially as the comic goes on you'll see flashbacks, and things from the past that come back and affect further storylines, and see how they've affected storylines already.

Another rambling news post, that isn't even the tip of the iceberg of my grandoise plans for what the comic would be if I could make money from it, and dedicate more of my time to it.

Stay tuned for future rambling newsposts where I explain more ;)
