The funniest strip in a long time, IMO. I like Mandy's look
in the third panel. One of the few times I actually like the
result of one of my ideas, so I guess people won't like it. :)

I like it.  And I know how hard creating these things can be; I've started my own comic.
Not ASCII though.  You can see the beginnings of it at
http://mmiddle.iwebland.com/comic.php.  I need to work on my PHP skills :-\

PS. I think Xander and Nerd Boy would be good friends, they look similar and have the same
kinda personalities :-D

Well, I don't think it's the funniest strip in a long time, but I do like
Mandy's expression in that panel :-).

No, really, this was great!
Yes, you may be right, it may be the best one for some time, but that
doesn't mean, the others were bad... Don't be that negative, you're
strips are cool!

Interesting. There's not much to comment on, so I think if I said something
now I'd probably be way off. I'll wait and see what happens. Looks like your
PHP is fine. Very irritating pop-up though.

If you say so. :) Xander seems like the slacker/hacker type to me though,
while Nerd Boy strikes me as being more hyperactive.. sometimes at least.

Thanks. I was trying to capture that schampoo commercial look, where
the girl runs her fingers through her hair and tosses it. I really
don't know how well I did though.

I can't help but think that you're either exaggerating or being
sarcastic. I'm just not very good at the whole feedback thing,
be it positive or negative feedback. I'd like to think that you're
being honest though. I can almost imagine somone sitting in front
of a computer screen, looking at some seemingly random characters
and then laughing for 30 full minutes.

Wait. Maybe you're insane...

Yes.. but... it was just for educational purposes! And he was
about to get to a really demeaning punchline about C# and .NET
and everything, I swear!

I'll only believe you if you buy a t-shirt. ;) Seriously, have you ever
looked at what you've done and thought "Oh man, I'm really good at this"?
I've only seen little kids and total newbies boast about their work,
so I naturally assume that if I ever do that, my work is total crap.

The more I learn, the more I realize there's a lot I don't know.

P.S: I'm only half joking about the t-shirt. For some reason, the idea
that people actually spend their hard-earned money on NB merchandise
makes me so happy it borders on disgusting.

I have a few problems in my coding, actually.  I plan to add more comics soon (hopefully!)
and maybe I'll repost the link :)

Xander isn't quite like that, at least so far.  I hope.  Again, with more events and
episodes and such, their personalities will become more apparent.

Believe it or not, IMO you captured just that look, *combined* with a
quasi-desparate looking upwards.  Yay for the expressiveness of ASCII!

Well, sure, that's right, but you are already at episode 295, so I
think, you can be somehow satisfied with yourself... *g*

And for the T-Shirt: easy, living in Germany (without a credit card)
doen't make shipping and paying very easy... *g* But I'm still searching
for a credit card (well, actually for someone with a credit card, who
pays that and gets the money back from me), so perhaps, I soon can wear
something really good! *g*
