Adam how do you decide what to keep and what to cut? I suffer from occasional verbosity myself and I'm always looking for perspective.

Also what is Eddie swinging? Materialized nunchaku?

So for whatever reason I'm curious about your signature line.  Are you asking if you should stay or go? or are you quoting The Clash?  and the second part the quote would be "Everybody must get stoned". 

I'm a huge Rock & Roll fan and Dylan is in my top 3 favorites of all time.

Dude I'm gonna be honest I think the only reason I put the clash line there was that I had just listened to that album. Also I thought that Dylan song was funny as hell, and, ya know, it's good advice

This sounds like just the indecisive-but-still-trying type of answer I'd give someone. I appreciate it.

You've got me pegged pretty well.

Weird/awkward at 14? Adam and I are wondering just how young you are now.

I'm 18, living it up in Cali. My birthday was a couple months ago actually!

Goddamn Eddie has a couch in his room? Layout aside, his room looks oddly like mine.

Adam I've been getting into vinyl, know any synth-based stuff that translates real well to that?

Jessica do you like Baroness? I know they aren't 80s but them and Royal Blood are pretty much the only harder bands I like. That and Sleep but that's stoner metal as hell.

Also I feel bad making this pun but I suppose you could say that there's.... different strokes for different folks?

I come in and check for new pages every couple of weeks and love what I see. I took a screen cap of Shade from one of the most recent pages and tweeted about loving how she looked. Jessica quickly called me out on twitter based on my comment of liking "girl next door" type. 

My god where do you live? Next door to the Drow or something?

Heh heh, we'll see about that whole "girl next door" thing.

The hints. The hints never end.

Back in 2011 or so, a friend of mine wanted to start doing a "nerdy" podcast with me and another friend of ours. We recorded one episode (we never released it to the public) and he ended up beeping me a few times and it had the same earsplitting problem, except more frequent I think. We ended up having conflicting schedules, so it didn't work out, but I think another factor was that he wanted it to be family friendly, and I thought it was silly to have a podcast that censored itself. I get why someone would want to do that, especially if they're part of some larger network of podcasts. But dangit, I wanted to talk about stuff like, "Why is it so common for hentai artists to draw nipples that look like little volcanoes with gaping holes in them?? Are there girls in real life with nipples like that? Are these artists assuming that milk ejaculates out of a single opening, like how dicks work, except to satisfy hungry babies instead of horny babes-who-want-to-have-babies? Gah, I've even seen stuff where girls get fucked in their weird nipple holes. I just don't get it!"

Ok I've looked at my share of drawn erotica. Seen some weird shit. But like—
What
What even do you mean
Fucked in the nipples
Also I can never again look at hentai without at least giving the nipples a second look now.
Also if you read hentai when not "in the mood" so to speak it's the funniest thing ever. Usually.

What's your...
Favorite character?
Favorite page/scene?
And how did you discover the comic in the first place?

First off, thanks for fixing my previous quotes! 

Favorite character: Ok see I like them all so this is tough for me. I can relate to the awkwardness of Eddie at the party (I was pretty weird/awkward at 14. I've toned it down to charming quirks by now) so there's that. My pick for the coolest character is tough but Ket and Viper lose out to Psycho Sam for me for reasons of skateboarding (skating high is hard man). Runner ups after those 3 are (in no order): Alex, Trance, Frost (that goth-ified Top Gun look tho). Overall best is nigh impossible, ask me again after more story happens.

Favorite page: Anything with Psycho Sam is gold but that panel with him and the dummy is platinum.

I'm pretty sure you posted it on Reddit and I went down the rabbit hole to here!

Also I'm pretty indecisive so I like pretty much everything in the comic but it's hard for me to pick stuff like this (which is pretty easy to tell. I'm not great at restaurants)
Incidentally, my younger brother is named Sam so maybe I feel a connection there too.


Ninja!Edit: I just looked at that trick sam's doing again and that boneless is sick as hell. I just got that trick (I'm new to the skate scene) and damn that's impressive forward momentum and height. I'm not sure what trick Eddie is doin in the montage but it's also pretty cool. What's up with Sam's board though? Do they have purple grip tape?

Sorry to disappoint Adam. I'm even more sorry to say I don't follow wrestling and am definitely a different person from this Jake the Snake you speak of.

Also!
I just reread the comic (again) and I'm gonna hazard a guess that Shade is Heather. I doubt that you guys are gonna confirm it but I'll just applaud your skillful foreshadowing and sprinkling of various clues.

Jessica I'm continually amazed by your work on facial expressions. Alex's faces in this page are wondrous, particularly the one in the wide shot.

Yo Adam, decent time reader, first time poster all that jazz.

Love the comic, it's super awesome.

OK I'm guessing Shade is somewhat based off Elriva (also, I believe I know who Shade really is and why she's nervous).

Elvira's in there, along with a couple others. I think I took a little inspiration for her eyeshadow from a picture of Siouxie Sioux.

You've been great at guessing so far. Even the guesses that didn't quite hit the mark have at least been in the right ballpark. And I thiiink you're the first person to point out Shade being nervous and whatnot. I can say that you're definitely on to something.

Matty I think you and I think similarly.

[Your quotes were messed up, so I edited this to fix 'em -AD]
