So I put something in my last comic description- author note, whatever - Something about my Observations of Street Nuisances project, which I think in retrospect I should change to "Social" Nuisances, and Ochitsukanai asked:

"By nuances, do you mean nuances like the way nearly everyone pulls out cellphones at the same time occasionally? You can watch them filter out of lectures or movies and most of them either have a phone in place already or are lifting a phone to their ear. It's really odd to watch it. Sometimes they're almost synchronized. o_o"

Hah, that's funny, I have noticed that. I see it a lot on the bus when there are maybe four or five people on it and usually at night, I'll look around and they're all either talking on their cell phones or text messaging. I figure it can't be a coincidence, maybe it's a subconscious group-think thing.
…
So, nuisances and nuances I've observed so far:

Uh, Asian girls touch each other a lot, ever notice that? Um, also, going back to the cell phone topic, people will pretend to be looking at their cell phones to avoid conversation or confrontation or just the act of acknowledging that there is another person within a five foot radius of them.
…
The stat counter problem is still bugging me, I haven't really gotten an explanation for that, if I have to mention it in every comic description thingy until I get and answer I will. I'll maybe even post on the message boards about it- which I have never done because you have to have some kind of notoriety on said message board before anyone notices you- because I'm sure someone before me must have noticed this before. it just seems to me like a major oversight, either on the part of the DD users or the people who created DD.

And now on to the comic–

So anyways, I was drawing another comic, it was basically going to be a fat guy with glasses with an expression similar to the kid in this one except less exaggerated. It kind of turned out totally different than what I was going for but I went with it. The problem is, I couldn't think of anything that could go with the new picture, and my original idea wouldn't work really, I even went through a lot of my old ideas and nothing seemed to be appropriate. But then me and someone else brain stormed and I came up with the pyro concept.

I think that's everything.

Stay thirsty my friends.
