089: Foreign Affairs

Hey, everyone! Sorry this page is late– yesterday I had to study for an English midterm, and today I lost a whole hour's worth of coloring after clicking the wrong thing in Photoshop. (It looked better than this before that, in my opinion, but I still managed to reclaim most of the backgrounds' detail. Forgive if it seems somewhat sub-par.) This is also a word-heavy page, so bear with me as you read all the stuff in the speech balloons. Trust me, it'll be important later on.

Not much happened last week. My cousin Christian had his birthday, I think– apparently he's going to Estonia or something this week. Lucky him. (No, seriously, lucky him. Estonia is a cool country.) Also, I bought three CDs: The Boy Least Likely To's The Best Party Ever (infectiously adorable British indie pop), Sloan's Never Hear The End Of It (a monolithic 30-song record– it hasn't totally won me over yet, but there are some good songs), and Gogol Bordello's Gypsy Punks (party!!!). I also ordered a fourth one, Boris's Pink, which should get in today. I'll pick it up tomorrow and let you know what I think.

In other news… do you have your submission for the big TEO Two Years And (almost) One Hundred Pages Super Xtreme Guest Comic Partyganzabration And Go-Kart Rally finished yet? Three weeks, people. …Actually, more like two and a half. And I've only got one so far. Let's get moving.

In conclusion… Neighbors. This is old-school stuff right here. Reco'nize.

Sincerely,

Ian Jay
