It's the bare shoulder on hip dude that does it for me, was this ever a sexy look on men?

Silly Science Dude, it's not about being sexy, it's about being funky. I mean, did you see how funky he was?

Anyone who dances in the street with his mates just for the sake of it is funky in my book..

Also, thanks for making me realize how much I'm like Viper. We're basically one and the same, with the only real difference being that I have less hair, less melanin, and just a tad less muscle-mass.

Oh man, I love Viper. I think you need to lift just a little more to be like him though haha.

I'd never think to look up the year in which the 3rd of May falls on a Saturday. I guess I'm too much of an introvert to think about the real world. Was there any day that date didn't fall on in the 80s?

On Saturday I rowed as usual and we had a dinner in the evening. On Sunday we messed around in the garden and enjoyed the fine weather with a barbecue. Yesterday we didn't do much at all to be honest..

Sounds like a great weekend Rijst!  Here in the States it was Memorial day honoring those who lost their life in service of the country.  Do you guy's celebrate that as well? I know Canada has Victoria day the weekend before our Memorial day. 


There are similar days here in the UK and in the Netherlands where I'm originally from. Both have it on different days though, in NL it's on the 4th of May and in the UK it's on the 11th of November. It's more of a memorial than a celebration, although on the 5th of May it's liberation day in the Netherlands where we celebrate being liberated from the Nazis.

Awesome I love learning about that stuff.  I know a few European countries have a Liberation day, is that celebrated like we do Independence Day here in the States? 

On an entirely different topic, How much of Europe have you traveled Rijst?  I've had several friends and family live around Europe and travel through the years I can't wait to make my own trip.  I'd love to see the cities in Ireland, Scotland, and Germany where my family is from.   I'd also love to see where Hemingway hung out in Paris, Run with the bulls in Pamplona and all kinds of other things tourist do lol.

[Edit: Your quote boxes got fucked up, so I fixed 'em for you. -A.D.]

I haven't traveled much to be honest. The thing about Europe is that it's so diverse it's scary. My home country of the Netherlands alone feels so different after an hours drive while it's basically next door. Very flat, the people are direct and in my opinion a bit deluded but hey, maybe I'm the idiot.

I've been to one Greek island, Samos. Venice in Italy is beautiful but the canals smelled when I was there because it was very hot.  I've driven around south-west Germany, that was lots of fun.  Just find a camp site mid-afternoon and drink local wine and enjoy the scenery. I've seen bits of France and Spain but nothing extensive. Scotland is stunning, amazingly dramatic landscapes. The language is incomprehensible sometimes though but it sounds amazing. Someone I know said Scottish people talk like the landscape, it goes up and down in tone, it's brilliant.

Now I live  in England, entirely different altogether,  both in landscape as in culture. This September we're going to Tuscany in Italy for our honeymoon, I'm quite thrilled because that place has such an interesting history. We're going to see Machiavelli's house, I insisted on that.

I guess I've seen quite a lot but there's a lot I haven't seen. Like I said it's very diverse so you won't get bored of you ever make the trip.

Who else will these ninjas spy on next???

My bet is on Veronica..

What happens after 11:59:59, 31 December 198X? Does the year change in any way or does it just become 198X again?

It becomes the next 198X year (at least it does until we decide to have it become 199X--if we ever do). Somehow the characters in the SN8X-verse can differentiate between the various 198X years, while we can't. So two students might have a conversation that goes like this:

STUDENT 1: Are you in the class of 198X?
STUDENT 2: Ugh, I wish I was graduating that soon. I'm in the class of 198X.
STUDENT 1: Oh, you look older than that. Were you held back or something?

Maybe it's like Chinese, where the tone and pronunciation determine what the word means. There is 198X, 198X and 198X..

The whole boy thing definitely worked on me. I thought it was Trance at first.

Poor Alex. Even the readers mistake her for a boy.

I always wondered where these secret Ninja societies recruit their members though. Disenfranchised youths? Abducted babies? News paper ads?

The first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie actually deals with that. The Foot clan recruits wayward teens by letting them hang out at their super cool clubhouse with skateboarding and video games and cigarettes. Something like that anyway, it's been a long time since I've seen it.

You know, I haven't seen that movie in such a long time I'd totally forgotten about that. Time to re-watch it I guess..

I don't really have the time or the money to go to the cinema very often unfortunately  :(

The least I could do was try and make the shoot as fun as possible for everyone, in spite of all the mishaps.

I guess vodka for everyone wouldn't have been the answer though  8)

It's cool you got to hang out with Debbie Harry.

Almost as cool as your joining the forum.

BOOM! You can tell Adam is a 80s style story writer from his witty comebacks and oneliners.

Well that and from the title of this cominc..

Great photos! I guess underbooby promotional videos would send a different message than you intend to about the comic.

Haha I can only imagine tightly organising everything, timing all the shots, utilising every minute, worrying about the electricity supply etc. Then there's Jessica, smashed on vodka, unable to find the bathroom and giggling away.

Did you panic at any point?

The Ninja clan doesn't seem very professional so far, although they casually sacrifice things to use spooky powers!

Yeah, it's probably hard for the satan ninja clan to have their shit together when their "Ninja Commander" is a bit of a wacko. We've seen him in two scenes. In one he's hot-headed and determined to find the glove, in the other he's playing a video game and seems much more apathetic, like he's barely paying attention.

Haha the Ninja guy Ben game! Exactly what I meant. It might still be casual coolness born out of confidence though, like they're so strong they just don't care anymore.
