"Where's NB201?" I hear you cry. Well, it's not a strip. It's just a
placeholder saying that I'm too tired to make a strip. :) Hardly worth
posting here.

I actually thought of the strip after this one first, and then I thought I
had to build up to it with this one, so I did. I works pretty well, I guess.

We're going on a trip to

This was a very smooth period of writing. I'd already had the idea for this
strip when I made the one before it, so it was just a matter of actually
drawing it. This one is kind of lost on people who haven't tried talking to
engrossed computer users, but who hasn't?

I'm apparently all alone

Don't you hate it when people talk to themselves in comics and soap operas

My creative juices were still flowing, so I just had to draw it. It's not

I had my doubts about this one, but people seem to like it, which is good. I
didn't think it was spleen-burstin'-funny when I wrote it, but OK. Whatever
bursts your spleen.

It reminds me a bit of our LAN parties, where after it someone has to go out and throw away the litter produced in the preceding days. It's mostly the first time on such a party when someone goes outside the building (if there are no smokers). Joey -- (\_ | news:de.alt.rec.ascii-art _/) _." '; __| __, ,_ __, __, .'

Calvin were asking God for snow... As he was waiting and waiting he shouted something like: -Well? Do you want me to become an atheist? It was absolutely hilarious. joris
