Right, so... we've actually been dating since July 4th of LAST year, but...ya know...I wanted to make sure he was actually gonna stick around before I introduced him in the comic. That and I'm really starting to worry that introducing people into the comic is a guaranteed way to make sure they make a swift exit from our lives. *sad sigh* RJ, however, is going to BREAK that trend. He'll be sticking around for a LONG time! :)

(and he's a grasshopper...in case you were wondering. See how funny that last panel is now?)

I think the saddest part here is watching the finished product getting pulled together. We've been doing this whole comic thing, now, for a while. Over the months I've watched my sister's style grow and develope, and, accordingly, I've had to improve my own techniques. So how is the final product saddening? Cause you guys never see the detail we put in. x.x There are folds in RJ's pants, for example, that don't come through after we shrink everything down. Subtle nuances like that get lost all the time. Not that that's a bad thing, per se. It's just the little things that make you groan and sigh and cause Advil stocks to rise that get lost in the assembly of the comics you see before you. So know this, dear readers, even if it looks simple, there's blood sweat and tears in these comics! We love what we do, here at Parlor Trick. Never underestimate that!

Also, it's about time we had a green character. ........That wasn't the Grubb.
