   Sorry about the mac thing, but me and macs arent exactly the best of friends Reply to this comment.

   @tim notice that in your tetris thing on the bottom row of blocks they make a line so technically they would have dissapeared..right? also NCT Reply to this comment.

   NCT, was as funny as the comic ya’ll used. And a virtual pat for Ray ! And personally, I liked the “baby blues”, nice to see them back. Reply to this comment.

    HOLY CRAP DR. Pepper!!! the best (sorry for all the quadruple-post but theres just too many good things to say about this epic comic.) Reply to this comment.

11. 11 Tim Posted: Mar 19th, 2008 at 11:42 pm

    Author Comment Rioluke, Dr. Pepper is all I drink, so it’s never going away, kind of like Ray’s shoes. And good call on the BOTCHED Tetris gag, I’ll fix that line at some point. Reply to this comment.

    I always liked behind the scenes things! I liked the podcast a lot, and the comic is priceless. The last panel with Illustrator on the computer screen is great! (is it a screen shot, or are those all vectors?!) Great Comic Ray (Virtual Pat on back, which can be likened to Assist Trophy Isaac’s attack with the glowing hand that pushes enemies off stage ) PS. I hate Macs; they’re too user-friendly. Reply to this comment.

    BTW Ray, Do you used Flash or Dreamweaver often? Tim does all the site design, doesn’t he? Reply to this comment.

14. 14 dj75728 Posted: Mar 20th, 2008 at 6:35 am

    BOOOO!!! Macs. Not a big fan either. Although I love my Iphone . Reply to this comment.

    LOL. Your comics are pretty funny I found this place by accident and I have it bookmarked ever since. Reply to this comment.

    NC=”Nice Comic” NCT= “Nice Comic Tim” NCG= “Nice Comic Guys” NCRBYASALSOB” = “Nice Comic Ray But You Are Still A Lazy SOB” That last one isn’t really used very often. Reply to this comment.

    BTW Ray, Do you used Flash or Dreamweaver often? Tim does all the site design, doesn’t he? I’m using Flash nearly everyday trying to get my online portfolio done. It’s a love/hate relationship. I also use Dreamweaver quite often, but neither of which I use for 2P START! Reply to this comment.

20. 20 Tim Posted: Mar 20th, 2008 at 1:44 pm

    Author Comment Tustin, I wouldn’t say I do the site ‘design’, just the architecture. When we did the site redesign, Ray did the graphics and I got it all to work together. Anything with WordPress, ComicPress, php, html, editing posts, etc. is probably me. Anything graphic-related is Ray. Reply to this comment.

    Sorry guys. I like the new tweaks but this comic has been the only comic you’ve done in a while that didn’t make laugh. Reply to this comment.

22. 22 Dash Posted: Mar 20th, 2008 at 3:27 pm

    NCG, even if without videogames (no Joystiq mention this week though). Let’s call it character development. And it’s always nice to be reminded that we live in world where Sonic shoes are as standart as knubby elbows. Reply to this comment.

23. 23 Andrew Posted: Mar 20th, 2008 at 3:31 pm

    Sorry guys. I like the new tweaks but this comic has been the only comic you’ve done in a while that didn’t make laugh. What he means is that: “This comic used to be funny about 2 or 3 issues ago.” Of course, I disagree. This comic was a potent reminder of the dangers of a post-modern world. A world where truth is in the eye of the beholder. Eyes with rounded off edges, except on the eyebrow. Eyes that we can only hope never become baby blues. Reply to this comment.

Heh, “standart”. it’s like standard and art put together, or standard-art Reply to this comment.

    I now want to see a panel of Tim with those eyes. Do it. Reply to this comment.

26. 26 2-D Posted: Mar 21st, 2008 at 1:47 pm

    I just noticed… you guys have no ears. Will those be added in the next make-over comic? Reply to this comment.

27. 27 lwelyk Posted: Mar 23rd, 2008 at 3:03 pm

    Gah, a forum would be nice… Ray: Have you seen Sonic Unleashed yet? If so, what do you think of it? It looks good, but there’s not enough info yet for me to decide anything. Reply to this comment.

    hey I wonder what tim’s hair looks like well thanks to ray I have to wait another year to find out Reply to this comment.

    great comic! very ‘meta’ Reply to this comment.

    … PS. I hate Macs; they’re too user-friendly. why too me thats a good thing That’s my line I say when anyone is promoting Macs in any way. In some ways its true, because I’m a programmer and a Windows guy and as such, I like to be able to get down to the nitty gritty of the operating system if the situation calls for it. Macs don’t allow me to do that. Neither does Vista. I hate Vista and I’m downgrading the next time I get a chance. Reply to this comment.

32. 32 tustin Posted: Mar 23rd, 2008 at 8:02 pm

    Tustin, I wouldn’t say I do the site ‘design’, just the architecture…. Well, that depends. Who drew up the sketches of the new site? Drawing sketches is site design. Yes, I understand the programming Vs. graphics relationship you guys have. Me, I do mostly programming, but I can do some graphics as well (as long as it doesn’t involve having to draw any type of animal or human, which I suck at). BTW, since Ray started showing off his “Vector” picture of some of the more complicated panels, I’ve been dabbling in Illustrator. I was think about making a comic about college dorm life… (again, the human drawing will be a challenge…) Reply to this comment.

33. 33 tustin Posted: Mar 23rd, 2008 at 8:06 pm

    Ooh! I found a mistake! The comic your pulling from on the last panel is actually Comic #57. The file name shown is “Comic56.ai”. Sorry, just thought I’d point that out… Reply to this comment.

    ray i have a surprise for you Not bad, not bad. Has potential, but I’m not holding my breathe. Nice to see the platforming, and some more 2-D gameplay. Reply to this comment.

37. 37 Baka Posted: Mar 24th, 2008 at 8:47 am

    Yeah, a forum would be nice.. Great comic, I like ones that involve you guys. I was able to suspend my hatred of breaking the fourth, and enjoyed the comic a lot. Sonic Unleashed has potential, and I’ll be a happy camper if it turns out good, but I’m not going to get my hopes up quite yet. Reply to this comment.

38. 38 Rioluke Posted: Mar 24th, 2008 at 10:06 am

    ray i have a surprise for you I have high hopes for this. This could bring back sonic games if its good. P.S. its monday 12:04 PM get off your butts and give me podcast! Reply to this comment.
