So grey scale is REALLY HARD, especially when you only actually have two grey pens to work with. As you can see, in the above comic, there is only so much layering you can do before your page just looks like a grey pen threw up on it.
So, if I haven't mentioned it before, I work in a frozen yogurt place, and, as with all jobs, there are good days and bad days. Sometimes, though, those bad days last a WHOLE WEEK. At least I get a huge paycheck.
It mostly happened because all the new students from the college nearby (incidentally, my old school) had moved in for orientation, and the groups would come into the store for frozen yogurt. On a hot summer day, that mess hits the spot, but that entire week, our frozen yogurt machines decided to break down a lot (especially when huge mobs of customers were in the store). We made do, but it really felt like everything was going wrong faster than we could put it back together.
I've been reading Band of Brothers recently (the series is amazing and I figured reading the book would deepen my appreciation for Easy Company and its awesomeness), and the descriptions of the artillery strikes in the book kind of influenced the second panel. Essentially, it felt like the machines were just lobbing horrible things at me all the time, and I couldn't do anything about it. Not fun.

Whoa, the language in this comic is pretty risque! Also, is there supposed to be an accent on "risque"? I can never remember, and I apparently can't be bothered to google it. Anyhoo, yeah, it seems that this weekend, I am super-busy doing music things. I am really excited to be accompanying Sabrina in her first solo show! But I am also nervous and hope I don't screw up!
Grar. Sorry for the late comic, guys, but having to use a public scanner isn't easy. I'm working on getting these comics out on time, but you'll be surprised how easy it is for life to throw enough small annoyances at you to put you off track.
So an errant sock that belonged to nobody wound up in Chris' laundry once, and since it had been washed, he decided that it was safe to draw a face on it. Then he drew a face on it. It has a black toe, so it is now known as Burglar Sock.
Javi is generally proud of his appearances in the comics (In my opinion, they are the most accurate portrayal of the kind of dude he is without just straight-up meeting him in person). Sometimes he wants to be in the comic. Sometimes, he really wants to be in the comic. And sometimes, he REALLY wants to be in the comic.

I am serving as the alumni speaker for a thing at my old school. The problem is that THEY'LL EXPECT ME TO KNOW THINGS. It is very well known that I don't know things.
Hey, guys! Well, if you'll remember, the CastleTown Convicts played at the Cobalt Cafe on March 19th! What I DIDN'T mention is that we got there in a BADASS GIANT VAN. Sabrina seriously has this big ol' brown van she named Bender (after the dude from Breakfast Club). This van was built specifically with bands in mind.
