Well since I've been hearing about this band since I met you way back when (I still have my copy of Slumber Party Massacre II), It's really awesome you finally wrapped up this project. I will be for sure giving it a listen. Probably this weekend when I can play it on my stereo for full effect.
 
I did of course go listen to Jess's part.  Excellent Work Jess you really sound like a total bitch, but we all know better.

Adam wanted it to be a tape at first, but I suggested a record for a couple reasons. He probably has both.

I just feel cassette tapes are much more '80s. I know records were still around, but they weren't the rad new thing. Eddie definitely has both.

Yeah cassettes are way more 80's, but Eddie is a huge metal fan so it makes sense that he would have both. 

Sorry you had to backtrack.  I of course went to watch Quite Riot videos after I posted.

Heh. We watched the video for "Cum On Feel the Noize" a couple weeks ago, and Jessica was so annoyed with how repetitive it was. Just the dude in his bedroom trying and failing to turn down his blasting music. It didn't bother me as much. I'm more bothered by the way the song's title is spelled (although to be fair, it's a cover song and that's how Slade originally spelled it).

GIRLS ROCK YOUR BOYS!  I love that track!  The spelling never bothered me it's for sure over the top just like the song.  I'm not sure what there is not to like in the video though?  It's pure 80's we have to do a video but the band is too wasted to do anything for it so lets cum up with the cheapest idea possible. 

I'm glad to know you have a little Soul in you Jess.

She's got some. I'm the souless one.

Yeah you need to find one of them someday Adam.

Dammit, I was honestly in the middle of a reply just now when I got a notification that you posted. I was saying..

"We could just say it's a Metal Health reference. Plus, that would give us kind of a weird excuse for"

...Eddie's barren walls. Except they aren't padded. Never mind.

Anyway, I was indeed aware of the song Sexual Healing.

I'll put it back if the ads keep popping up, I didn't know people actually looked at signatures.

I notice everything. Including that short period of time where you would quote me and alter my name to "Captain Emulation." It got a chuckle out of me.

Cool! I'm glad to hear this. Although I don't do it to get a response every time it's good to know you have the eye for detail to notice these things. I'll keep putting these little easter eggs in and we can both enjoy these little jokes nobody will ever pay attention to..

Haha while in the real world I try to notice everything, I usually don't pick up on little stuff online.  There is so many ads, useless info, and just plain garbage online that I've kinda trained myself just to look at the important stuff.  I did know you had the Bio-rad thing before but didn't notice it was gone now.

The title of this page must be a reference to Marvin Gaye's song, and is especially appropriate since Eddie put himself as far away from sexual healing as he could manage..

Actually, I wasn't familiar with the Marvin Gaye song, so I just now looked it up. It's totally not something we'd listen to, but at least now I get your reference.

Okay I know you guys live in a cave but did you really have to look up Sexual Healing?  I know it's not your typical style but a little Soul never hurt anyone. 

I really expected Eddie to be a Cassette guy not a Vinyl guy. 

So is the "Metal Healing"  any way a sideways reference to Quite Riot?  If so should the mask not have been the Hannibal mask from the video?

It's frustrating how hard it can be to find out what era certain slang words and phrases were actually prominent during. At one point, we realized that having Trish say "Whatever, Dean," back in Issue 1 sounded a bit more nineties than we'd intended. I think I remember Adam reading something about how it was used in that way in the 80s once on The Golden Girls or something, but it didn't become a real bimbo staple in that "What-EVERRR" sort of way until the nineties.

Looking this stuff up a little bit just now, I learned that there's a thing called "sexy baby voice." Gah. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexy_baby_voice

As long as you guy's stay close to the 80's you'll be fine.  "whatever" can slide as 80's especially late 80's but phrases can be harder to pass off.  I think so far you've done an excellent job of keeping it period correct. Much more so than some movies and tv.

Jessica told me she intends to respond to this, someday. But yeah, Rijst is right. She settled for classical. Which, is actually what she said in her story. Come on guys, work on that reading comprehension.

Well I have great reader comprehension.  I was still wondering though, Classical is a broad genre and while I occasionally enjoy it a very boring one.  I really do like Rachmaninoff in minor keys though.  Not sure I would like it sitting in a giant magnet though. 

I personally would have wanted Al Stewart Year of the Cat.

Yeah Eddie walking home in defeat seems to be the theme music for this comic so it was kinda obvious I guess.

Yeah, gotta shit all over the hero before things can get better. Peter Parker lost his Uncle Ben, Eddie McCarthy lost his stuffed pig.

I think it's a prerequisite for being a good hero.  Of course loosing a stuffed pig and being rejected by the big tit blond is not exactly on the same level as Peter Parker or Bruce Wayne.

This part was pretty obvious at least. And why else would he be in the woods by himself..?

Other than Eddie tripping over the body this is pretty much how I predicted Eddie finding the glove from the beginning.  Walking home late after some kind defeat and stumbling on it.

Wasn't the Xanax supposed to calm you down already? So what did you listen to in the end?

Yeah I kinda want to know now too.   

That had to be the 1st time anyone has requested Slayer for an MRI.  Reign In Blood would have been an appropriate choice I think.

Those ghost boobs could be bigger.

I'm with Gregg on this point. 

Not bad at all though really.  I mean it's like 100x better than I could ever do.

Hey, I told you to add the "Me?!" So it's not like I completely failed as the comic's writer...

It's all good Adam sometimes you just have to give your illustrator artistic freedom.

For starters, it's awesome to get your input this week Jess.  You did a hell of a job coming up with awesome dialogue, and made the whole trippy page look like it was happening. 

Greg gets the awesome award for Peter Spankman. 

Okay page is totally badass. Ghost Busties seems like it is the film we all expected it would be.  Plus it went to a crazy place from whatever hallucinogenic Sam took before watching porn. 

Ghost babe looks great for a ghost at least until she goes all "The Shining" anyway.  I also really dig the ghost monster with the Boobies on it's tongue.

Joe did not embarrass himself as I thought he would. Plus now he's totally gonna bone Tina.

He might not have embarrassed himself in the way you thought he would, but I'd definitely say he embarrassed himself.

Except for throwing up into the pool that is. How romanting, to be barfing out an invitation to the prom.. 

With that much coke and booze and all those teenagers puking in the pool was bound to happen.  Yeah luckily for Joe Tina seems to be really into him.
