Ok, so this issue was suggested by our very own Ivan.  Yes, this is a true story.

You may notice that I tried out a smaller font.  I was reading the first couple of issues of The Blackest Night–which my brother lent me–and noticed how small the words were, yet I was able to read them just fine without the use of high-tech optics!  Amazing!  So, I decided to give it a shot…That’s the first comic I’ve read since starting Anaconda Industries, and it’s funny the things you notice when you’re doing them yourself (like font size).

Yeah…so, for some reason, I’m not loving this issue.  Sorry.  I do like the new guy’s mustache, though.

This was a tough one for me.  I’ve had the punchline rolling around in my head for a couple of months, but when I finally sat down to put it on paper, I just couldn’t get the set-up to flow.  In fact, I only had three lines written until about three hours ago when I decided I just had to go with whatever came out.  Oh well.  You get what you pay for, and I haven’t seen one red cent, you cheap bozos!

I also had a heck of a time coming up with a subtitle–I was torn between “Change” and “Rules” and (obviously) ended up picking the latter.  Oh, the harsh life of a misunderstood genius!

The freakin’ internet just ate my post…I’m far too lazy to re-write it.  Insert your own humorous anecdote here.  As if anyone actually reads this anyway…

Update: Found the original…weird.  Here’s my original words of wisdom:

Ah, lucky number 13.  I know this was an exceedingly verbose issue.  I ha to make up for last weeks utter lack of dialogue. It’s advancing the story, ever so slightly.

I hope you all realize that that last panel is indeed Pedro and Ivan…but transphormed.  Why?  How?  And who is this character who claims not to be Evil David?  What is going on?  So many questions!  So few answers!

Incidentally, I do know someone in real life who rips his clothes for emphasis…what a loser.

So, it would appear that I was quite laborious this holiday.  Why?  Because I love you, that’s why.  Yes, this is the first (maybe last) double-issue.  It’s in both color AND black and white.

The idea for this strip came from a conversation I had with Evil David about how school really just prepares you to be a corporate grunt.  You don’t go to school to learn academic stuff, just how to say, “Yes sir/ma’am.”  Ah, the good, ol’ days…

Of course, it ends on a happy note: just like in school, the best time is at the end of the day when you’re hanging with your compadres.
