64-3: Going On Sixteen

Whew. Done. Hopefully next week I'll be on time again.

So yeah, it wasn't until last weekend that I realized, "Holy crap, these characters are fifteen, they should be in driving classes!" I'd already gathered that Gary would not be the type to drive - his mind is never there enough to be able to focus on the matter - but Dan certainly would. Realizing it's getting really close to his sixteenth birthday (I'm not exactly sure when that is, but soon), I realized I need to get a comic out about it NOW. Which was ultimately what this week was meant to be about, though I decided to squeeze in a random mention of the golem in place of the original idea for a Lizzie-relevant discussion (which changed from "Baww, I talked to her friends" to a much more interesting "Haha, how did you not know about her brother?).

Anyway, next week is Thanksgiving, so I'll have a neat little story about that (now that I don't have to deal with Gary talking about it for three comics). We'll get a new character out of it, too!

I should probably draw out a character design for him.
