I pretty much forgot about this until I went to post this page today, but when I wrote this page, the way I handled it was in reaction to the reactions to this Mastorism page, in which Matt hits DJ. People were pretty taken aback about Matt hitting a girl (as they should be). I know this is an altogether different situation (I mean, we KNOW these guys are bad), and I had planned a fight anyway, but as a little nod to that reaction I stuck in that three panel pause in the action to let EeePee comment on it herself.

Hm. Not to pat myself on the back, but those pleasantly "off register" ben-day style sound effects came out better than I could have ever hoped (sadly, I can't quite remember exactly how I pulled that off!).

Anyhow, life is returning to a little more normal. I've finished up the art for the next story. Probably skipping the toning altogether, and that will be ready to post as soon as this story wraps up.

I've been working on– and finished– special chapter lead in art for the Mastorism trade paperback due out in… March '10? Something like that. I've also scripted two chapters of the new story, and have begun laying out some pages already. I'm pretty excited to get goin on that one, for sure! LOTS of cool stuff in store.

Alright, that's it for this week! Thanks for reading and commenting, EeePee and I will be back next week for some more but kicking and smart mouthing! See you then!

DAJB - Or so they like to think!

legacyhero - Well, they probably can't brag about it to their moms… the shame!

skreem - Thanks!

repoman - unfortunately I didn't write this as a webcomic. She has a pretty good retort coming up, but its a couple pages away, which, is 2 weeks with this schedule.

Brogan - We shall see!

AzuJOD - Thanks!

wellsee - here it is!

mushroomcomix - You didn't think she was gonna let em off that easy, didja?
