20100121 (16) - Removed Salon Nu Vo logo from panels 9 and 12.

20100130 (8) - A couple of minutes into the 31rst, actually - but almost all of the work was done on the 30th, so. Rewrite-wise... wordier. So. Much. Wordier. Not as wordy as the next page, but man - look at those GIANT PILES OF WORDS. At least, unlike -13-, it all fits.

20101225 - Original page metadata:

In 1997, only the rich suit types had cel phones. Everyone else was still using pagers.

=====================

2008.04.19 : All glory to the minor glasses cleanup.

20101225 - Original strip metadata:

Strip 070, 20060709 :

"Break" is something of a misnomer, in that this section of the story only deals with part of the gap between Spring and Summer quarters... but it's about as accurate as it gets, really.

Strip 071, 20060710 :

Don't you just hate waking up in the mens room? I know I do.

Sign of the times : in 1997, everybody had pagers. Specifically, the big-pants and stupid visor ravers, the ghettobeasts and the homies. Cell phones hadn't reached prole pricing yet.

And the date is accurate - June 11th was a Wednesday. iCal++.

Strip 072, 20060711 :

Well, it ain't fuckin' Shakespeare, that's fer shure. It is a transitional strip done at 4 in the morning, though - and I can't think of a better time to do the unfun-but-necessary bits.

Panels 2-4 were part of the DCR Background Shoot I did on 20060707 - downtown, during rush hour, during the weekend of the allstar game*. That I managed to get reasonably empty shots in the location in question - close to ground zero - is something of a fluke.

* If memory serves, that game gets played the day this strip is supposed to go live (the 11th).

Strip 073, 20060712 :

On a four-per-page count, dropping all static and squelch after the first two strips, this is the end of page fifteen. Woot!
