    And thus draws an end to this story arc after over a YEAR! I felt that it was a good story arc, but technical problems and life sure didn’t…

    And oh geez, the proportions on this strip… Still getting used to the iPad for drawing, as you can tell. Not sure what happened to Jorocks in Panel 2, but didn’t have time to redo it. Luckily, I think the dialogue makes up for it! Incidentally, the Reese’s Pieces joke was totally unscripted; it was meant as a one-shot joke the first time and stuck around. I enjoyed it.

    Spoofy Randomness will be on hiatus (yes, again, but this one is planned!) starting next week. The next few weeks are going to be very chaotic, as I am traveling to Michigan to work for a national Scouting event, moving into a house with my wife, and starting a new school year. The MAIN reason for the hiatus, however, is to build up a buffer. Spoofy Randomness will return August 31st on a weekly basis on Fridays, and my goal is to consistently update throughout the next year!

    Until next time, have fun!

    Clarification

    This 4 month update thing seems to be the theme right now… Oh well, summer vacation is coming up, which means lots of free time when I’m not getting married…or moving…or working the TV staff at the National Order of the Arrow Conference… Crap.

    Anyway, Chris’s dad. I realized that Spoofy Randomness suffers from the same fate as many comics involving high school or college students: the lack of any adults whatsoever. This is one reason why EGS is particularly interesting; there are adults often actively involved. I’ve had a few, Sheriff Whitebucket and Thomas Gabriel, and the presence of Nikki’s parents are implied (and probably tactfully left when Percy came; they’re considerate like that), but if there was such an injury one would think that the parents would be a little more active, hence the presence of Mr. Raefish. His designed is heavily based off of his son (just look at the tufts of hair, the eyes, and the nose). In Panel 2, however, he unintentionally wound up with an enlarged chin that makes me think of the main character in American Dad. I think it makes him look important, so I attempted to run with this in Panel 4, but it didn’t quite have the same result.

    Also, start your bets on how often I’ll forget to draw Chris’s cast. If you recall when I had to draw one before, I often forgot it and had to add it in during editing.

    Finally, I have a blog now! I’m told that’s the cool thing to do nowadays. What’s that? My source is from 5 years ago? Well, nuts. Anyway, you can find A Tale of a Long Fellow here, and it has been updating more frequently than this comic does!

    Have fun!
