I kinda like this one. Lots of space and a sense of darkness that has
only surfaced in a few other Nerd Boy strips. I suspect that some people
might not like this. On the other hand, I don't have a clue as to what
people like.

That's great. :) It reminds me of the one where Nerd Boy doesn't get anything
done, which is another one I kind of like even though it's not really funny.
I really should implement the episode rating system I've been thinking about,
so I can see what episodes people like.

He's not depressed, he's a skeptic. Arched back from walking; that's
the only way I can depict NB walking without him looking totally
stupid.

Oooh, I hadn't even thought of that. What a great incentive for people
to read all the strips again! :) Ooh ooh, I could add a "sort by rating"
feature as well; that would rock.

I'll second that. And I don't see the problem with reading through them
all again ^^

ob-ascii:
                   ,-,
              _--_( /_-_
             /          |
            |        .--J
            |        |
            |        \__,
             \         /
              "-__--_-"

Apple apple. Needs a bit of a diddle, especially the leaf, but I thought
not too bad for a second a-a...

                   ,-,
              .--.( /.-.
             /          |
            |        .--J
            |       (
            |        \__,
             \         /
