Vol 4: Of Balloons and Alternate Girlfriends

Today's comic comes in kinda late. I just got Xbox Live so I spent most of last night playing that. After about my third match with the same people on F.E.A.R. I realized "Oh shit, I didn't make a comic." So I went upstairs and went to bed. I got up around noon today, had some breakfast, and started working on the comic. Then I watched an episode of Lucky Star, then my girlfriend called, then I finished that same episode of Lucky Star, and now, here's the comic!

There were quite a few technical problems in this comic, basically because I wanted to do a lot of stuff that I didn't have any sprites to go with, like Megan sitting or Esther shielding her head. Also, it's hard to convey emotions like sorrow with the pixel limit of the comic, but I try my best. However, I am very proud of all of Drew's sprites in this comic, as well as Sean busting in through the ceiling's effect.

Technical notes aside, there is a throw back to Sean always calling Drew Kyo and Drew calling Jose Steve-Dave. As for the very first part of the comic, you can consider that a "glomp"or an enthusiastic tackle/pounce, which is often used in the anime sub-culture of the internet and in real life by giggling fan-girls. A man once told me essentially that the main purpose of a glomp is to cannon ball your entire body at the target's chest in hopes of unalligning it's spine so it cannot run from you, and what I have seen, his hypothesis should be accepted as scientific fact.
