This was basically just a conversation me and Bob had that I just turned into this script. (see how easy my job is?) Anyways, It's another one of those that I don't think is that funny, but maybe you will.


posted by BobPosted by Bob on March 19, 2002: Alright, this one was a tough one to draw for two main reasons. One, I am not....proficient when it comes to drawing mechanical things. Two, I am not a Star Wars fan. When I read X-Wing, I pictured a TIE Fighter. I had to research it, and when I looked into things, I realized I couldn't draw an X-Wing to save my life. So I put the actual picture in there, and I think it worked out for the best. Then, we have Yoda. I actually used my end line in a conversation with Steve, so I knew I had to draw Yoda as a pimp.

One last thing: In the first panel, I am not a giant. I'm only six feet tall and around 210 pounds-no giant by any means. I'm just closer to the camera than Steve. I was going to blur myself, but it just didn't look right.


posted by BobPosted by Bob on March 31, 2004: It's obvious that Steve is the writer here, because I am NOT the one to make a Star Wars reference. One thing about this comic is that it makes the store look like a castle, with the dark grey brick walls. For the longest time, this comic was very heavy on the color grey, with Steve's shirt, the walls and the floors, and the cds. If I were to do this one again, it would be oriented vertically instead of horizontally, so you don't have to scroll to the right to read it.
