Page Thirty-four
Wow, comics take way less time to draw when they’re comprised of talking heads floating in white voids. Who knew? Sorry about the lack of backgrounds. :( On the other hand this may be my favorite page I’ve done so far.
By the way, befor anyone says anything, she’s not slapping him. She’s just smushing her hand on his face to bother him.
Also that scream, if you can imagine it as a girlish shriek I think that really makes it better.
I was just linked to this comic a few days ago. It’s great!
‘Bunches’ cracked me up-it’s my favorite thing on the page! For a genius scientist, he has a pretty minimal vocabulary.
“Make out, like… bunches” counteracted by her putting her hand on his face.
Bet his head would explode if she hugged him…
Is it bad that I was like OH cuddle with Marcus the cute non-aging man-kitten but get all freaked out when hottie Delia touches your face?!?! Guys sometimes… sheesh.
I recently discovered this comic and it’s one of my favorites already! And, yes, character-wise this is one of the most amusing pages so far =) One of the things I most appreciate from this comic is the atmosphere (both relationships and sense of physical knowledge of the place) I’ll be waiting for more =)
I love a) how slow-motion it appears her hand is coming up to his face to smush it, like he could have backed away if he had known better, and b) “Bet you wanted to make out, like, bunches” BUNCHES, best word ever for this situation, oh my goodness.
I love this page. They are so funny together. And his little attitude is great XD
Next comic: explosion. Everybody dead. END!
He has a PhD in Moment Ruining, doesn’t he?
“BUNCHES” (c) 1999-2009 Spinner 8 DO NOT STEAL!!!!
SEE THIS? (c)
that means it’s MINE
t: spinner 8, quiet you.
ohmygoodness i love this page bunches. :0
I’m constantly smushing my hand over my cats’ faces to annoy them, and they respond the exact same way: FLIPPING OUT followed by indignation followed by an attempt to pretend they still have any dignity left.
Got linked here from The Meek.
I find it funny that he’s in love with her yet still doesn’t like being touched at all.
Poking him on the nose woulda probably freaked him out more. XD
It’d be cute and confusing then he’d be like, ‘WHUT?’ for the rest of the chapter. His complex mind would try to find a complex reason for such a simple action.
I love this page BUNCHES. Also, I can’t wait to see how bad he freaks out if she ever tries to kiss hm, the poor conflicted jerk <3
It’s funny cause i don’t like to be touched too XDDD
Its funny that he’s blushing while being mooshed. Seriously, he wouldn’t know how to handle himself if she ever did regain interest in him…
Simple/no backgrounds means being able to tell more story. Going overboard with background details (that nobody will notice anyway) is for chumps.
In my own webcomics I tend to spend way too much time on backgrounds and sometimes I’ll get lazy and just use photographs I’ve taken (with a bunch of filters) and when I apologize for it people are all “Oh, I hadn’t even noticed anyway.”
Have I mentioned how much I love the dynamic between these two? CUZ I DO.
and I know everyone and their grandmother has mentioned it but the line “you totally wanted to make out, like..BUNCHES” Is just…augh omg I love his character so much. Though I cant tell if he said that to save face from his adorable little look of hope on the last page or because hes just a conceited jerk lol maybe a bit of both?
I also love how Delia smushes her hand to his face so nonchalantly. Its just perfect xD and the fact that he apparently has a girly shriek? Cherry on top.
Haha I agree with Ali… Schtein had enough time to say “Wait, what are you doing?” so he totally could’ve dodged that hand. It’s almost as if he wanted to be touched! >:D
I was linked to your comic from The Meek a week or so ago.
Honestly, I really love your characters. Dr. Schtein, especially. Definitely not the character expected, but actually much, much better. :D
I keep reading over the part where Osgood touches his face. It’s so atypical. Haha!
Okay I am giggling hysterically at “make out, like… bunches!” :D
I just found this today. Schtein couldn’t be any cuter to me if he were a baby panda in footie pajamas. Is he supposed to be that freakin’ adorable?? Cuz he is.
The amazing thing is that Dr. Schtein is not attempting to be offensive. He wouldn’t intentionally say anything that would ruin his chances with her. He’s JUST. THAT. PROFOUNDLY. INEPT.
Extreme lack of social skills + inability to read people + issues with touching = high functioning autism?
