I haven't gathered the courage (or time) to do a comic so far but if I ever will your tips will be very useful. Thanks so much!

*high pitched* Dude, this was so incredible informative and fun to read! It kept my attention, unlike so many drawing books I have tried to read and failed. EEEE! This is so awesome! Really. It is. Really!

*pants* Okay...I really should lower my sugar intake this late at night.

Thanks! That's good to know that it keeps people's attention, that's always important.

And yeah...might be a good idea.

Immensely important.

Maybe...*puts down sugar packets*

surfersquid In reply to KalmaStari [2011-03-28 16:55:26 +0000 UTC]

Haha, reminds me of when my sisters and I used to eat sugar packets at restaurants when we were kids. We were such crazy kids...

KalmaStari In reply to surfersquid [2011-04-01 22:30:43 +0000 UTC]

Oh, lol! That's funny! But, hey, you're weren't crazy alone then! Did you have a fav one?

Me, It wasn't so much the sugar packets. It was little things of butter that they would give you with your rolls. I would always take them home and use them the next day like for toast or something. However, one day I forget about them...for months.
Oh, yeah. I got quite the surprise when I put my hand in a pocket of a jacket that I had not worn for months. I was certainly not expecting my hand to be covered in yellow creamy liquid.

surfersquid In reply to KalmaStari [2011-04-02 19:25:53 +0000 UTC]

I think I mostly just liked the real sugar. Oh, and those little cups of cream for putting in coffee! Forget the coffee, I just wanted the cream.

Oh yeah, we used to do that with butter packets, too!

You wouldn't believe what kind of stuff I've forgotten I put in my pockets.

KalmaStari In reply to surfersquid [2011-04-05 00:54:36 +0000 UTC]

That's my feelings exactly. The only coffee I have liked is an iced mocha that my sibling made for me one time.

I'm not the only one.

Umm...let me guess...um...an ancient makeup thingy left over from a play that is three years old? I'm really off track, aren't I?

Haha, nope. I'm not much of an actor. It's mostly been papers and the like, although once I did inexplicably find a Canadian quarter.

Me either but I got the coveted part of a tree once! No, really. I did.

Where I live, we get a lot of Canadian change. It's almost funny how often they turn up!

surfersquid In reply to KalmaStari [2011-04-09 15:47:41 +0000 UTC]

Wow, that's hilarious, on both accounts.

I'm way closer to the Mexican border than the Canadian border, so it really makes me wonder how I got this coin.

KalmaStari In reply to surfersquid [2011-04-12 14:49:49 +0000 UTC]

Yup, I was good at that role! Just stand there...I was really good!

Hmmm...it was just meant to be I guess.

Personally, I thought it was well put. I like the sense of humor you added too. Makes it so it's not a boring read. And you give good example shots.
