Out of Character

In this page I'll keep all the fillers I put up for any reason, along with the text that accompanied them when they were shamefully exposed on my comic's home page.

Tru story.

Meh. Bad way to start off the year. I went to a stationery to try and find the blue pencil for roughs I'd heard about, but they insisted to me they were just regular 6B pencils. The problem is that, as far as I know, 6B pencils are nigh impossible to erase, so if I drew the roughs with them and they did show up in the scanner the drawing would be ruined. I decided making a sketch would be a better idea than to risk ruining a real comic.

It should be noted however that I only thought that when I got to a stationery about one o'clock in the Saturday afternoon, when my comic should have already been up for over twelve hours, and after going to a LAN house to play Battlefield 2. (It should be also be noted that they didn't have Battlefield 2 at the LAN house, and the games they did have didn't run, so I'm never going there again. Cosmic justice and all that.) Maybe I could actually finish the comic on time if I put my mind to it, but I didn't. I did, though, buy a drawing notebook, which I plan to use to draw on the job. Yeah, my job is that easy.

Did the technique work? No. You can't see the rough lines, true, but at several points the lines seem dirty, because parts of the rough were picked up. It's especially noted in Suspicious Red-Headed Girl's right arm, which was a lot higher in the rough. And, of course, I can't erase it. I'll have to stick to the eraser.

Were cute red-headed girls actually stalking me? Not really. On the 26th, I was working, and as I approached the lift a girl was walking out of it. She smiled at me and asked, 'How do you do?' I replied 'fine' and entered the lift as I tried to figure out where I knew the girl from, since you usually ask 'how do you do' only to people you know, sticking to a more traditional 'hello' if you don't, but had no success. The next day, as I was walking home, I saw this girl who looked just like the previous girl, and she smiled at me! At first I reasoned that she must had noticed I was staring at her (because she looked like the previous day's girl), but then I realized I was wearing my sun shades so she couldn't have seen that. CREEPY :-O But alas, after that no more red-headed girls showed up, and my life is empty and was forced to resume staring at the cute municipal guard. (YES SHE IS FEMALE THANK YOU)

Oh, one last thing: no, I don't actually own a T-shirt like that. I found this site which makes tees on demand, and was brainstorming cool ones, and thought about that. Because, you know how everyone in CounterStrike uses the Desert Eagle, even though it's slow and has a small clip and the only good thing about it is its damage? And you know that everyone uses it because pros use it so they think it's better, except that the pros use it well because they can aim properly and make every shot count and your average cunt can't so he should use an easier to use gun? Yeah, I thought of that. The first round, when everyone flailed around with their DEs, was the only moment I could actually play well, since I used the starting pistols which were much better if you're lame like everyone was there. But then, I realized I haven't played CS in like seven years, and don't really plan to play it again before the universe's expansion has caused all heat within it to cease and it becomes a motionless infinite void with an average temperature half a degree above absolute zero, so I decided to steal one of RvB's shirt designs instead.

Hey, they should let us watch older movies on their site. They started it.

Say lupus. It's always lupus!

I was just going to post a big "THE COMIC IS ON HIATUS AND I HAVE NO IDEAS LOL" filler but then I remember this "fun" game I created a while back and decided to share it with y'all.

You may need to create some house rules to play the House house game (har har). Naturally, repetition can't be allowed, but you may rule that you can only name one "syndrom", "disease", etc., regardless of whether it's real or not. Alternatively, you may allow one of these to repeat if it has a completely different complement - for instance, after "Heindall's Syndrom" is named, you can't name any more "(name) syndrom": so "Dunberg Syndrom" isn't allowed, but "Spleen Overgrowth Syndrom" is. A similar rule may be applied to made-up words that end with certain suffixes, like "iosis".

Unfortunately, I can't tell how well it works, since my family unfortunately doesn't like making up fake medical terminology.

Man, that guy had better have put up a comic this week or I'll fucking AWWW IT'S A KITTY

There's not really much to add, is there? The news give more info if you're interested. Bottom line is, I'm too tired to post anything worth it.

I actually have a filler ready that's something I actually drew, but I thought that if I posted something I drew, then next time I need a filler I post a picture of a cat, people would be "Hey, why didn't he at least post something that he drew like last time?" while if I post this now then something I drew later people will be like "Well, this is filler, but at least it's something he drew, not a cat like last time" and my evil plan will come forth (not the one to bring fedoras back). If you think my posting of this will change anything, think again. The people I'm evilly manipulating don't read the news. Doubleplusgoodthink.

Oh, by the way, in spite of what the legend says, that's not just 'a' kitty. It's my kitty. He's called Bonsai and he's a cute.
