This comic reminds me a lot of of Shilling the Wesley. I hope you guys don't hate Gary so much that other characters talking about him when he's not around is annoying. If it helps, they're going to go onto a complete tangent for the rest of the week.

The series the guys are talking about is The Walking Dead, which apparently premieres on Halloween. I may or may not watch it. I guess it depends on what else is on that night.

Alright, so since some people liked the concept of me writing my own font, I decided to try it out this week (aside from the lack of color). It actually requires a bit more effort, since I'm basically trying to fit it into a space my normal text takes up, meaning I actually enter the regular stuff in first, then write over it in my own hand. I uh… don't think that's the most efficient way to do it.

I'll try a different tactic tomorrow. But I do think the thinner pen is necessary, since when I tried writing with the same line size I use for drawing, it blotched together like when I try writing with a permanent marker. Not good. Not good at all.

I hope you guys can read this alright, with its slim, light lettering and my chicken scratch handwriting. If it goes well, I might continue it in later weeks - and comics.
