I would love to take complete credit for this comic, but I can only take half; and thank my epically awesome friend Jesse for the idea for the content.

I was originally just going to have Arcee riding next to Sam and have them argue until he ran into the tree, but I'd told Jesse that I was doing "Bumblebee's Remote" as a 'Semi-silent' comic that would prelude a chase sequence.
After thinking a moment, he said that a silent comic chase sequence could be cool too; a chase that ended with my proposed (and subsequently implemented) punch-line. It took me half a second to realize that, not only would this be a great opportunity to show an "Action scene" but it was also funnier on more levels than my original idea.

So again! To my main-man Jesse! THANKS!

Some other quick notes:
Title: I thought about naming this chapter "District: Witwicky 13" as an homage to the french Martial Arts/ Parkour film "District: B13" ("Barrio 13" in French) but thought the reference might be a little too vague even by my standards.

Panel 5: Believe it or not, I could not get this motorcycle helmet right, no matter how hard I tried, which is why I did the mini practice sketch you see at the bottom of the comic.
No, Arcee's holo rider will never remove her helmet in my comic; giving Arcee a "Human Persona" is NOT a priority for me. Besides, wouldn't you rather imagine what YOU prefer she looks like?

General Randomness: I think if I were filming this as part of an actual transformers film, I would have to set this scene to the "Pixies" song: "Tony's Theme". It seems to be about a kid running around the neighborhood on a bike pretending to be some kind of super hero. Somehow that seems to be very fitting to me.

Go ahead and make a joke, no one's stoppin' ya

I'm saying 'go!' because my brother does parkour stuff (scares the shit out of me when he does it, dumb little 14-year-old thinkin' he's immortal) it's cool, but dangerous..

No problem, you have incredible art!

I'm trying to figure out how he got on the roof of a house O-o and how he is not afraid of falling off...though I guess when you have a 20 foot tall Decepticon chasing after you and you jump off a few buildings to escape running on a roof seems normal.

Ouch a tree...never fun to run into...but I laughed like crazy

Th4rlDEAL In reply to Spoiler-Emblem [2009-08-15 17:06:28 +0000 UTC]

When I started drawing, having him randomly running on the roof of a house just seemed really funny; I love visual non sequiturs!

And as regards his sudden burst of athletic skill; it come from the fact that he's amped up on adrenaline, cuz his girlfriend's in trouble and she needs his help! (Ha. Or so he THINKS )

Also, I'm glad you liked the tree.

Yeah won't it be amusing when he reaches Mikaela and finds out she's completly fine? XD he ran on the roof for nothing!

There's actually an even BIGGER surprise in store for him once he gets there!

I'll give you only one hint that doesn't make any sense: It tangentially involves Ramen Noodles.

When I first got started, I thought I would lose interest in writing Sam, but he continues to surprise me!

I don't know how to describe it, but I really enjoy how Arcee and Sam relate, or at least fail to relate to one another.

Okay... that's creeping me out due to the fact that the "Filler" piece I promised at the bottom of the comic... may or may not have something along those lines... (fuh-duh-duh duh... wah wah wah)

Yes. That was indeed my crappy attempt at writing a "Dramatic Musical Sting" with letters.

Thanks for the compliment, by the way!
