While Eileen and I were talking on the phone the other day, Javi decided that it was time to share some words of wisdom. At least, that what we think his intention was.Remember, click on the image to make it bigger!

I took a bowling class once in college, but I was never very good. I compensated for this by throwing the ball REALLY REALLY hard. Sometimes, though, this comes at the cost of accuracy, as you see so (poorly) illustrated here. I was bowling with Eileen and one of her really old friends, and they happened to see this moment of shame.
Hey, guys! So GD is back, and today it is officially 1 YEAR OLD! Sorry about the last two weeks, but really, things got really hectic around here. What with me getting a job (yay!), and Belinda and Eileen moving out of Valhalla (since half of Valhalla's personnel is now gone, we're probably changing the name), and then a big stink I had to deal with because of something from last year, things have just been WAY TOO CHAOTIC for me to regularly update.
I was an English Major in college, and I mostly used Structuralism when I analysed papers. In Structuralism, you work off the assumption that literature operates by tensions, most of which were binary (in that tension was created by two things opposing each other somehow). I guess that I started applying this thought to every other aspect of life, because now I tend to believe that most things have some kind of counterpart. As you can see, though, it is frustrating for my roommates when I start talking about this stuff.
This happened a long time ago (also, it's the first time Eileen's been in the comic since, like, freakin' January). I was really tired after my art class that I took last fall, but I was determined to do a comic and have it ready by the next day. And then I fell asleep.
Belinda finally came back the other day after a month visiting her folks for the holidays. Me and Eileen were the only ones up, so she came in while we were having breakfast. Rather than give her a proper greeting (which you normally do when you see a friend after they've been gone a while), I just opted to say something matter-of-fact. And THEN say hi. I'm a pretty bad friend?
Argh, sorry this is so late. I've found that juggling two jobs and a comic is REALLY difficult. Anyway, I apparently suck at eating, and Eileen, being the expert wielder of two utensils at once, told me to use a spoon to eat an uncooperative piece of squash. I stubbornly refused, and this pathetic display continued for another minute.
So, we're lazy. Like, really lazy. Belinda was at her computer, so she was the unwitting victim of the "NOT IT" rule. Although, in the end, Eileen actually went to get the mail.
So Belinda got sick the other day. Then I got sick. Then Chris got sick. Then Laurel, his girlfriend who was visiting that weekend, got sick. Eileen was the only one left standing. Also, sorry this post was late. The original that I was about to scan got ripped, so I had to completely redraw the comic while I was in class. Sorry!
Sorry about the missed update last Thursday! I generally try not to miss an update, but sometimes, life happens.
If you've ever played Dungeons and Dragons, or at least know a little about creating a character, then this joke will make sense. If the world of Dn'D is alien to you, at least enjoy these little nerdy stat-cards I made to introduce my roommates.
I live in Valhalla with my roommates. They are awesome. Clockwise, the people in this comic are: Me, Belinda, Eileen, and Chris. They are awesome people to live with.
