Page Thirtyfive
Getting ever closer to the completion of this first chapter.
I like to make it seem like everything’s going great. I’m willing to bet you have no idea how everything’s going to go wrong. >:] heh heh heh.
Also, I’d like to give a huge thank you to all the people who have left comments. The fact that you were willing to take the time to read through the archives and write out your thoughts means a lot to me. Praise, criticism, whatever. I really appreciate everything a lot. It’s like twelve birthdays.
I can only hope that my skills as an artist and story teller can continue to improve so I can live up to the kind things people have said so far.

Schtein in the last panel is trying to make up for “bunches”. Nice save, Herville!
<3
I love Osgood’s expression in the last panel. Like “oh god damn it you creep would you please take a HINT.”
I have a GUESS as to how everything goes wrong. If I’m right, this is going in an entirely different direction than I expected from the outset and SOMEHOW IT IS EVEN MORE DELIGHTFUL.
It should be more like at least 14 birthdays because my love for this comic is that concentrated. And by this comic I mean Schtein.
My favorite frame in this whole thing is the hamster popping in. I don’t know why, but it makes something inside me laugh so much.
That guinea pig is adorable; I don’t know what you were talking about! Although it does look oddly pleased. :D
And OMG he spilled the beans! <333
Dying to see how this could go wrong! XD
Oh no, evil genius thoughts! XD
Dr. Schtein…Smooth Operator.
Hee hee hee. I agree with Daphne; that is one smug guinea pig.
YAY! Chubby rodent is alive! But the happy moment won’t last very long, will it? Osgood’s gonna shut him down, isn’t she? :{
Ahhh… This is going to be epic.
Hmmm, if you’re willing to bet that we don’t know how things are going to go wrong, then I’m sure the next bit will be worse than just rejection. Still, props to Schtein for having the balls to say that. It usually takes like seventeen million chapters for main characters to verbally express attraction, haha.
Can’t wait to see what you got next. Digging the art, btw.
Huh. Wasn’t expecting him to say it that way. It’s sorta cute, though. Also, Crapswell is a funny name. Heh.
I can’t believe BOTH OF them have admitted to their obvious undying love, I almost never get to see it happen until 10 years into a comic, also I love how his hand is clenched into a fist behind his back like a person who is actually nervous, realism! You do it good.
Oh Schtein~
He tries so hard D:
I seriously can not wait to find out what happens next, this comic always keeps me on my toes!
aww, Schtein… :) Too bad she doesn’t look too happy about it.
I will comment. My comment is: there is a lot of black in this comic and I like that you are using black. Ever since kthor yelled at me for not using black enough I’ve been super attentive to how other people use black and I think you are doing it right. I’m not an expert or anything, so be mindful of that, but there we are.
i have to say, i always love how you draw people’s body positions. the poses are always realistic and really help convey their moods. i know a lot of people (including myself) who have a problem doing that, but you do a great job at it. :)
but man, waiting for saturday is going to be hellish. i must know what happens next! D:
If Osgood dies I’m going to be angry! Just putting that out there.
One thing that sort of bugs me about the top two panels, it is not very intuitive that the guinea pig is being moved from one transporter to the other. Part of the problem is that the two machinery parts are not grounded in the environment.. the other part of the problem is tracing the animal’s path. The sender/ receiver bits are pointing away from the reader’s eye motion. Making them face each other like an arc might be a bit easier to understand. Just something to think about!
I just want Osgood to punch him in the face. BUNCHES!!!! lulz
AND THEN she can kiss his boo-boo and make it all better :)
BAHAHA i love the backview of him in the last panel. you like dresden codak you say? even before you mentioned DC i thought osgood’s hair looked like kimiko’s. and the line quality – love it!
It is confusing as to what the rodent has to do with anything, but then they start talking, and I know from context clues. I find it pretty funny that while thinking about how to best utilize a teleporter he inadvertently confesses. XD
Hahaha! I love Osgood’s look in the last panel. I hope she touches his face again, or twists his big nose. That would be win.
I like this page very, very much. The lineart (and text balloons) are neatly balanced with the white spaces of the background-less panels. That was something that bugged me about the previous page, because the only panel which had a background was very detailed, so the others looked weird and “empty”.
(The guinea pig’s face amuses me to no end :D )
What will happen next? The wait is killing me! D8
They’ve finally succeed ^_^
I wonder what Crapsweel will do with the teleporter…
Yeah, I have problems planning out word balloons sometimes, and the last page was sort of rushed in that regard. Also, I probably should have pulled back on the panels with the guinea pig teleporting, that may have helped establish what’s happening, maybe? Well, it’s a learning process.
I am pleased by how totally nonchalant that guinea pig is about being deconstructed and rearranged molecule by molecule.
SMOOOOOOTH, SCHTEIN
I..would be so horribly sad if Osgood died OR TURNED ON HIM D: I want Schtein to have loooove~!
Some things to point out;
1. I love that guinea pig, and its little mohawk. That thing is probably so DAMN PROUD of itself.
2. I get the feeling that a very painful rejection is about to happen and that makes me cringe D’:
3. I cant get over the last panel, and the back of Schteins head. And I do NOT know why. Something about it…I just…I wanna TOUCH it. *creepy points +10!*
!!!! im so excited about next page X3
i totaly love your comic, its so funny and awesome!! gotta love schtein!
although i dont really understand what does schtein plan to get from osgood telling her that… i mean, he doesnt like physical contact!! and he is not a smooth talker XD
i love Osgood’s expression and how she’s leaning awkwardly over her clipboard in the last panel
@ Jenn, my guess is that Osgood is going to die, spurring his transformation from Antisocial Mad Scientist to Evil Mad Scientist. Kinda like what happens to Dr. Horrible in “Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog.”
New and enthralled reader–referred from The Meek, and happily so! Keep it going!
WELL THAT CAME COMPLETELY OUT OF NOWHERE.
(Sarcasm works well when it’s loud, doesn’t it?)
Is he aware that he said that out loud?
