Comic #130: A Man of Many Words
Monday, August 24th, 2009Just when Peter was starting to get more relaxed and comfortable around Whitney, she had to go and make him all nervous and awkward again. The poor guy just can’t get a break.
This page marks the end of the first part of summer school. Now that Peter and Whitney are settled into the routine of summer school life, I don’t think it’s something that needs to be shown in its entirety, so the next page will be kicking off a new storyline. We certainly will be revisiting summer school towards the end of the term, so don’t go thinking this is the last time you’ll see Peter and Whitney as classmates.
Also, to those who visit my art forums at The Inking Room, I finally managed to get the site restored after last week’s little defacement episode. Everything is back up and running now. If you’re an artist — or just enjoy critiquing art — and have never been to the forums, now would be a great time to take a look! It’s a small community of artists right now, but definitely a loyal and active one, and absolutely open to anyone who would like to join in.

Bwahaha, first off, first to comment. Second, another awesome comic. Very subtle in its delivery, and gives the reader something to chuckle about. And I loved Whitney’s grand war speech. Nice job!

Um…does she know she just pressed his head onto her breast?

Teenlink: haha, thanks so much!
JAM: Are you sure it’s not her HEART??
…. yeah, she totally did squish his head to her chest, but don’t go reading too far into it. What’s even funnier is that with just the lineart (before putting any grays in), you can totally misread it as Peter trying to cop a feel in panel 5 with Whitney’s arm placement. Totally not intended to be any sort of adult humor, though; it’s really just meant to create an even more awkward situation for Peter.

Heh, well, no, her heart would be in the center of her chest, not on the right. I just thought that girls were a bit more….reserved when it came to that area below the neck.
:D

Wow…that sounds like something I would say. Even weirder, I almost imagined my voice saying all of that. Gah…

And considering what was at EYE LEVEL…

I like Peter’s eyes in panel six. XD
Hope you don’t mind this tangent, Jon, but I’ve been thinking of using Lulu. Have you found them to be satisfactory in their service? I know you used them to publish the P&C collection, so I thought I’d ask you about it since you’ve experienced their business. Much thanks.

A few extra things: 1. Regarding that little flipbook thing, is that how Peter actually sounds? 2. If you’re still looking for some voice actors, I’d be willing to give it a shot. Hit me up @ battleteen@yahoo.com

@Rachel: Lulu is pretty good for printing black & white work (for text and standard lineart comics), but for color printing they can get way too expensive. At this point I’m trying to find another printing company for the Peter & Company collection simply because they charge way too much for what you get. The fact that an 80-page paperback book costs upwards of $35 in color (whereas if it were black and white it would be about $15) is just ridiculous.

Heh, who could resist that kind of embrace, even when it’s jokey friend cuddle?
