Re: Nerd Boy, episodes 238-241

<238>
This is actually how -I- feel sometimes. However, I don't yell at people,
only Nerd Boy might be crazy enough to do that. The strip started out as
a diddle. I wanted to draw someone with long hair, and after lots of goofy
hairstyles, this was the one I came up with. Then it turned into a "Nerd
Boy with attitude" strip; a continuation from NB233-236.

<239>
Here I wanted to point out the change in Nerd Boy's attitude. -It- turned
into a Fan Boy joke, and there's a hidden little joke there for NIN fans
who have all of the lyrics memorized.
</239>

Pretty straightforward. This was actually the end of NB239 originally IIRC,
but it got too long and now it's its own strip. One joke spread a bit thin,
if you ask me.

<241>
Feeling that the last few strips didn't have enough art, I decided to draw
something a bit bigger. Originally, I was going to have Nerd Boy say "Don't
even try, punk." Then the monster would become fixed in mid-air from fear.
However, that would clearly be a big waste of a nice character, so I made a
story arc out of it instead. Then I got tired of the whole thing and had a
lot of other stuff to do, hence the two months or so of non-productivity.
