page 1335 – Headpat Achieved
FINALLY! Sorry for the wait, gang. I didn’t realize just how long it’d been since I did a page with this many individual panels and did NOT manage my time accordingly. I mean, you wouldn’t THINK that a few people standing around talking would take longer to draw than a glowing angelic vine chair apperating out of nowhere, I clearly didn’t. But big or small, wacky or boring, more pictures means more editing, and more editing means more time. And heck, this is the shortcut version! My original plan had been to have Tabitha running around in the background getting started on cleaning everything up, but it became clear pretty quickly that this page was taking too long to do even without backgrounds… though to be honest, I probably would have had to drop that bit anyway, just because there wouldn’t have been room for it. I say again, it’s been a LONG time since I did a page with this many panels.
Now, the REAL fun thing will be seeing just how many times over the course of this week I get confused over what day it is, since it totally feels like a Monday night what with me posting this and all.
BUT ANYWAY: Avi would probably be complaining to the other kids about being friendzone’d at this point, right?
EDIT: New TWC Voting Incentive is up, which incidentally is THE SECOND TO LAST ADVENTURES OF STILEZ & TAX I’LL BE DOING! I’ve finally come up with an idea I like for a new incentive series, and hopefully it’ll start the week after next!
“Are you kidding? Don’t worry that steak was the best about all that other meal I’ve had in stuff, it wasn’t AGES! Your fault!”
…and then Layla began to question just what was IN that steak.
Ah, the Layla zone. Of the young men in the comic, apparently only Trigger is immune.
The Layla zone encompasses most of reality as we know it
@ “BUT ANYWAY”: Nah, Avi & his friends are pre-teens, that awkward-to-talk-about phase between being a young child (10 & younger), but not yet reached the actually awkward parts of being a teenager. They’re also rich kids without appropriate parental supervision & support.
What I’m getting at is that Layla outright calling any of them her “Friend” is enough for them to go catatonic in joy and misinterpreting her words to mean “Girlfriend”. Before getting into a fight about which one of the four she is specifically the girlfriend of, because she most likely would be saying that the four of them are her friends in one sentence.
For the other three, absolutely. But Avi specifically, he’s a bit of an early bloomer… or at least he likes to pretend he is (Upon reflection, he’d probably have no idea what “the friendzone” actually means, just that he’s heard older kids talk about it)
@ Hovertext (I forgot to include it in my previous comment): Because Trigger has the Anime-Thick Hair, the one that has more space within it than it takes up, and could theoretically hold a person, if they could pass the outer layer. Like Eda Clawthorn, from The Owl House.
Note To Self: have a Far Out There story in the future where the day is saved because somebody hid a tool/weapon/maguffin inside Trigger’s hair without his knowledge…
@ Blitz: That’s not going to happen. It’ll hit one of the half-dozen wrenches & screwdriver’s he’s put in there. I mean, his hair IS how he ensures that he has his basic kit on him at all times.
