Description
I have been watching too much Mad Men and subsequently looking Dyna Moe's art, and it shows. I'm not completely done with it yet (there's a whole bottom half to the picture I haven't done), but it's four in the morning and my hands are tired, so we'll see if I update it later.I don't know whether Eric is trying to lick that ice cream or Karen. I don't think he even knows.
I also don't know why I decided to draw a picture based on my dumbest line. Probably because I'm trying to convince myself to keep it by reasoning that it's something so dorky that Eric would say it.The line(s) in question, after Eric sees Karen in her lime green work shirt (substituted here for a nicer, dressier shirt):
Eric, thinking himself clever, had said before that she looked like a chocolate mint with it on.
“But a very pretty chocolate mint,” Eric had added, backtracking so fast he nearly tripped over his own words. “A beautiful, understanding chocolate mint with a very dumb…er, cherry vanilla boyfriend?”
Karen had asked that Eric never use the phrase “cherry vanilla boyfriend” ever again. He said he hadn’t planned on using it the first time.
Yeah. Soak that bit of literary genius in.
Why can't I put an "&" in my title, DA?!
Ohmygod, why is the comment so long?

"Karen had asked that Eric never use the phrase “cherry vanilla boyfriend” ever again. He said he hadn’t planned on using it the first time." I love that line, so hard. ^^

Hee, thank you. That line is starting to grow on me a little bit. This picture helps.

Me too. :3
Funny you should mention Kumi--I actually started brainstorming/drawing out some of the gods of the Kumi-verse; that was a lot of fun. But I don't have the complete set yet to post it.

The outline-less style looks SO swanky with your art! I checked out Dyna Moe and (s)he is fantastic! I want to try this now!

Thanks very much! It was actually a lot of fun! 
I used this tutorial as an example when I did my picture.

Neat style! Here I'd be content just to do adequate stick figures, and you're rockin all sorts of styles of art... and writing! Jeez.
And to answer: Deviantart doesn't let you use an & in your title, because they want you to type like an illiterate who only talks in textspeak. Hence the "+" be okay. At least, this is the conclusion I've drawn. Who knows, maybe it's just a weird programming requirement... I just prefer to jump to conspiracy theories as often as possible.

Hee, thanks much! I just felt like doing something different and fun.
I'm starting to think that's deviantArt's excuse too. How hard is it to allow a damn "&" sign?!

I like dorky Eric more when he has cheesy lines to accompany him. It makes Eric that much more worth while

Lol, thank you. There's a certain goober quality about Eric that I don't portray enough.

Come on, keep the cherry vanilla line
And I love how you drew Karen here. She looks a bit different than usual, though, I think.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well...we'll see. I haven't taken it out just yet. I'm letting it grow on me.
And thanks--I tweaked her design a little bit (like how I tweaked Jordan and Jesse's when I drew them recently). I made her hair a little longer and her face a little narrower...though, the second thing may just be due to the lack of lines.

I like to think he's going to lick her face. And she's looking away, so she's going to be really surprised.
Also, the cherry vanilla thing and when Michael says something about Jesse punching the new guy so hard feathers flew out are my favorite lines.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
In doing so, he's probably going to accidentally drop that ice cream in her lap like the goober he is.
And aw, thanks! Okay, that makes me feel a little better about it, then.
