I like this one. Fan Boy and Nerd Boy just seem so in character.
This is the kind of stuff they should be doing all the time.

Ooohh, no no... Now you're the one being too literal. I meant the general feel of the strip. Fan Boy initiates conversation, Nerd Boy rebuts and then makes a total fool of himself. Seems like a good formula. :) > I'm just trying to ascertain when it is safe for me to go to the > cinema. Sure it is, no problem.

Exactly. Sheesh, what is it with other people? Frankly, it seems to me that most problems can be traced to other people... Let's just get rid of them altogether. (Hmm, I sound like a troll that used to frequent this group.) -- OO Joaquim G�ndara | Official Nerd Boy site: .||. | http://nerdboy.port5.com (UK) bb jg | http://nerdboy.xepher.net (US)
