Just in case you do not also have long memories

The nature of a webcomic is sometimes a great problem for the story teller. the fact I can really only get out six panels a week means that sometimes I have to condense things down rather more than I’d like.

Because of that I don’t think Jayden’s little breakdown got the screen time it deserved but I did try to get across the range of feelings the cast must be going through. After all one of their friends was just blown up.

The guard thing wasn’t originally intended it came when I was putting the script to the PSD and I realised that it just… worked. It also made the next page a lot easier.

And Cinema Guy is back. I love Cinema Guy. This might have been a little shoehorned in but I felt the comic needed a little light relief. Plus I haven’t had the chance to draw the guy for over a year.

I tell you, much as I love this computer storyline I am going to be much happier when I go back to doing one shot, short storyline things.

The computer arc is the logest thing I’ve attempted since Ozimaar… and we all know how that ended.

This one won’t, I am nearly finished. Another 5, maybe 6 pages should round it off. Script is finished, there’s another 9 pages left.

Also, my god, you have NO IDEA how long I’ve wanted to use the phrase ‘money amount of dollars’. I wrote that line probably all the way back in 2007 and could never fit it into a script.

Now I have. Woo.

    What is the “money amount” line referencing?

  2. Crusader

    @Thebes I don’t know, possibly something. I’ve just had a desire to use the line for bloody ages.

    SMIC!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOO!

    Oh and hey look its Cinema Guy!
    “MY NAME IS KEVIN!!”

    Yay, continuity!

    Really, who’d think changing your name to Hussein would be a bad idea!

    I have a feeling it’s only going to better (read as worse) for Crusader from here. Having who I now dub as “Burly McBurleson” being between you and your flight never ends well, especially when said meat wall looks like an ex-college football player.

    I’m sincerely hoping Crusader has underestimated Smic’s survival capabilities. It’d be a shame for this comic’s resident mad scientist to meet an untimely demise.

    And on a slightly unrelated note, just where is Cinema Kevin going?
