Nerd Boy, episode 413

     You look buff today.               You know how in some games,
     What's going on?  `              repetitive tasks give experience
                       ,,,              ,  that you can assign to
                       '..            OO   any attribute or skill?
                        ||           .\/.
               ________ |\ __________ dd ______________



                         Yeah?        I invented "The XP Assigner(tm)",
                             `         and turned 5 years of stupid
                             ,,,        ,  debugging sessions into
                             '..      OO    upper body strength.
                             .||.    -\/-     Look at my pecs!
                     ________ || ____ dd _______



Um, doesn't that mean you're now       "Pecs" is short for
much worse at programming?  `,,,        ,   "pectorals".
                             '..      OO
                             .||.    .\/.
                           __ || ____ dd __


  You also seem to have traded         ... Pecs?
  away your intelligence... `,,,        ,
                             '--      OO
                             .||.     \/
jg                            || ____ dd

This must be the work-out NB meant in NB411. I actually
got the idea for this strip from some kind of shower gel
called "Experience". Shower, sports, pecs. That would've
been a possible line of association, but it's not the one
I followed.

About the book, since some nice people showed interest,
I'm still fiddling with how I should lay out the strips
in book form. Probably two on a "letter" sized page
(8.5" x 11"), since that's the cheapest option, but I'm
working on how to make it obvious that there are two
strips and not just one big one.
