Nerd Boy, episodes 202-208
"Where's NB201?" I hear you cry. Well, it's not a strip. It's just a
placeholder saying that I'm too tired to make a strip. :) Hardly worth
posting here.

I actually thought of the strip after this one first, and then I thought I
had to build up to it with this one, so I did. I works pretty well, I guess.

This was a very smooth period of writing. I'd already had the idea for this
strip when I made the one before it, so it was just a matter of actually
drawing it. This one is kind of lost on people who haven't tried talking to
engrossed computer users, but who hasn't?

I'm apparently all alone
here. Everyone's gone.

Don't you hate it when people talk to themselves in comics and soap operas

But why did they leave?
Maybe they thought I was

My creative juices were still flowing, so I just had to draw it. It's not
hilarious, but it's OK, IMO.

I had my doubts about this one, but people seem to like it, which is good. I
didn't think it was spleen-burstin'-funny when I wrote it, but OK. Whatever
bursts your spleen.
