This first strip deviates from the story arc. The rest don't.

The amount of subjective appreciation of an item X should be a constant with
respect to classification, assuming proper usage of X. And you can quote me
on that.

This strip depicts how hardware has alienated me. Note the three different
"ground line" styles. Neat.

This also started out as one joke and became another due to lack of space. I

This is the joke that the two previous strips started out as. Turns out that
it's not as funny as the two jokes it spawned, IMO. Oh well. At least I seem
to be getting better at the systematic use of multiple jokes.

Nerd Boy is either a) subtly telling Fan Boy what a stupid pun it was and that it wasn't appropriate, b) thinking of killing Fan Boy, c) trying to see into Fan Boy's mind and thinking of opening his skull to see what makes him tick or d) something else. Whatever he's doing, it's freaky. > >This also started out as one joke and became another due to lack of space.

It's right there! "jg", see? As for the "constantly good quality"... Bah! There's no such thing, and Fan Boy is in character, I think. Btw, some people found this funnier than my recent stuff. :\ > oooor it's just me :) Probably not -just- you, I'm sure other people found this subpar. I can't please everyone, and actually I don't even try. I try to make stuff that I find funny myself; that's the only way I can do this... -jg
