Description
True story.Β Well... sort of.Β Welcome to My Imaginary Life!I realized after finishing a project early in the morning that I had missed Pi Day completely! That's what happens when you're working on school projects, I guess. But then I was inspired to create this. Ironically, I finished penciling it at 3:14 AM this morning.
I unceremoniously borrowed my good friend Shane's characters Pierre and Andre for this strip. Go check his stuff out at !
Enjoy, and happy belated Pi Day!

Illustrated in Manga Studio 5.
A bit of an experiment in inking with Manga Studio 5. Honestly, I prefer MS4 for vector inking, but the raster inking in MS5 is gorgeously smooth.

Yeah. It's sort of "become" a holiday over the past decade here in the math and science circles.

I didn't even know there was a Pi Day 
Beautiful digital inking though, btw

It's not an official holiday or anything, but it's sort of become a "party day" for us scientists and engineers. Because apparently we need an excuse to throw a party.

I think your comment got cut off. What was the rest you were trying to say after victims?

I certainly believe that's what happens!

Yeah. I totally missed it.

Lol! Nice work!
Yes the raster inking is so nice in ms5

Thanks! Yeah, I've been really impressed with the improvements in MS5 over MS4.

Agreed! I couldn't do what I do now before!

Yup. Been there. "What time is it? Wait, WHAT DAY IS IT!?" Oh, the life of busy night owls.
π: 0 β©: 1
Aye! That's exactly what happened to me (minus the pie to the face, of course). I get so focused on my work I totally don't realize what time it is.

And it's even more fun when you're scratching your head trying to figure out how the lamp is casting light at a new angle and color only to discover that it's sunrise. Thankfully I haven't pulled that one on a day where I had to be somewhere!

Yeah. Thankfully for me it was the weekend. Otherwise there could have been issues.

And I had no pic to celebrate Pi Day. Oh well, nice job on this comic, Nathan.

Thanks man. Your comments are always appreciated.

I hadn't forgotten about Pi Day, but I didn't have a pie to celebrate with.

Careful... I'm sure Pierre and Andre will fix that right quick.

Anytime, Shane.Β Honestly, I wanted a pie joke. I really did. And there was only one thing that came to mind...
I'm glad you liked the comic!

It is so refreshing to see someone else who wants to use the pie joke in their work. There are several other cartoonists in our group here who just won't do it and avoid this type of humor like the plague unfortunately. So your willingness, even without me suggesting it, really made my day.

Slapstick isn't for everybody, I can understand that. But it is considered classic for a reason.
I also figured if any of my characters got hit by a pie they'd probably get mad at me. So it'd better be me instead.
π: 0 β©: 1
That's very true, slapstick isn't for everyone or fit into their comic. But the funny thing is, the individuals that avoid using pies or other messy humor, use a lot of slapstick. They just avoid messy slapstick. Rather strange since that is with one of the most classic forms of all of them. To each their own. Keeps it more special when fewer use it then.
Haha... Yeah, I don't think your other characters would appreciate a pie in the face. Although, in the right light hearted situation, I don't think Nob would mind too much. He seems a bit open minded.

I don't mind slapstick too much, as long as I don't do it so much as to have my comics typecast as such. The same goes for pretty much any type of humor in my comics, though. I try to avoid getting stuck in one single type of humor for too long, because, like you said, it keeps things special when used sparingly.
Nob would probably be surprised by a pie to the face. Then he'd thank you for the snack.

New that's what happen when he miss Pi day, LOL XD
π: 0 β©: 1
Yup. This is why it's always important to observe Pi Day. Otherwise you might end up with a pie to the face.

That's true!
And next year on Pi Day, we will have the date... 03/14/15 09:26:53...

Heh heh, a very inspired and clever gag here, cool to see yourself in toon form, and you did Pierre and Andre justice as well. 
π: 0 β©: 1
Thanks Mark!
I had a lot of fun actually drawing a 'toon version of myself for a change. I pretty much never do that. So it was fun trying to figure it out. And of course with a pie gag... I couldn't resist borrowing Shane's characters.

Wait... it was Pi day?!?! D:
Owch.
Also I see the inking looks good in the new program ^^
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah... apparently it happened on Friday. I totally missed it I was working so hard on projects!
Thanks! I'm liking MS5's inking.

I also like how you draw yourself ^^
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, I'm too busy to care about silly things like that because I'm usually focused on sillier things like Aw, COME ON! Where's Ramirez from COD?
