This one just kind of wrote itself (which doesn't necessarily mean I like it). I
had no idea what I was doing when I drew the first frame, just a vague idea that
Mandy is evil, but we all knew that already. I mean, duh.

This sucks. I couldn't quite get the joke across (I think), they're kind of out
of character and everything just feels wrong.

Although I personally liked this one, llizard thought Linda's out of character.
Yes, maybe.

This is probably the best story arc conclusion I've ever made. It more or less
accidentally put Linda back in character AND kind of redeemed her behaviour in
the previous strip AND it's kind of funny.

Springing from my own views and a recent conversation with llizard about episode

skepticism.

I thought about using the term "easy peasy", but I decided against it. This is
based on a real-life conversation. Yes, I have these NerdBoyish "insights" from
time to time. Actually very often. Actually, I make this strip called Nerd Boy,
in which I.. Oh, you've heard of it?

118. yeah, good ol joke, i love it :)))
120. great. just great. just had a conversation with a 13 year old boy a few days ago, and he told me something like that :)
i chatted with him, and asked him what he wants to be after he left school.
He said: i wan't to be a biologic scientist.
Me: great, a friend of mine studies bio. but she doen't like it.
He: why does she study.
Me: because she has to?
He: no, she just need to learn latin NOTE: Latein, dunno what it is in english, but i don't think it is latin ;)
Me: ah, really?
He: yep, sure, all things are named with "latin" ( look above ) words. so if you know "latin ( look left )
you know all biological things.
Me: you forgot the brain
He: ?
Me: ... saying some stupid things a nerd understands. NOTE: i'm a webdev. and got some things to do in some chats related to such
stuff, and guys starting this stuff with 13 such hard as this guy ARE DEFINATLEY NERDS.. !! ;)
.. the conversation took 10 minutes further.
i left the chat without saying goodbye :) he didn't talked to me again ..
btw: the idea with that vegas - nerdTown window thingie ( is there a word for that? ) where you showed everything like it is in a
comic, is great.
