This is a strip where Fan Boy is put to good use. I didn't even mean to make
the previous sentence true in two senses, but there you go.

Wooo! 3/4 view of NB's computer! Oh, and rumble pads -are- cool, btw. I play
NFS3 and THPS2 almost every chance I get now, just to get that force
feedback buzz.

A new story arc. Yay for story arcs! That virus is based on the Myoviridae
(http://www.virology.net/Big_Virology/BVDNAmyo.html). One of the few times I
did some research for a strip. I like the "holy crap" panel.

Even though this is very City of Heroes fan forum related, I think the joke
works fine on its own, but I'm not sure. Either way, I'm beginning to milk
the story arc here, and I think it's showing.

All in all, this is pretty good. Plot progress, joke, a teeny bit of
character development. I still don't like it because I'm not sure it's
funny.

Inconsistency; I couldn't remember how I drew the front view of the virus
before, so it's different here. The joke is a reference joke. Pretty weak if
you don't know the last two lines from somewhere else, but it's still a bit
amusing if you don't. Here's hoping anyway.
