Wanna hear something funny? That chick in the second to last panel was supposed to be "hot"

Man my art sucked back then.

Anyway, this comic would probably move, sequentially to much much later in the series. When I first posted it, I was trying to keep comic-time in line with real-time. Since then though I've decided to handle "comic-time" much differently where, however long it takes to read the comic, thats about how much time has passed in the CAP universe.

All of our characters have a serious or semi-serious storyline amidst the hilarity. But I was determined to slow play these storylines. You've seen part of Nate's, Chuck's, and Ryan's all the way up till now, I've just integrated it so well with the jokes that you can't tell that there's anything serious there until I hit you with two or three strips of serious stuff. Then, right back to comedy. Unfortunately I'm a long way away from accomplishing any of this. My most recent storyline is prehaps my goofiest ever.

Also this is the first "official" appearance of Friendly Mikes, which I've since used in a Directors Cut strip.
