Left 4 Documentary

Martin here. And so it is complete. I left this all until Wednesday, when I sat down and pulled about 6 straight hours (subtract around an hour for the consumption of 1-2 pitas and a shower) on this son of a bitch. Flash, of course, is the reason it took so damn long. I have a number of theories as to why:

1) Adobe did the equivalent of skullfucking Flash, taking its money and leaving it to die in a ditch.
2) Tracing my vague sketches in Flash involves a lot of fiddling and a huge propensity for disaster.

On the plus side, I finally used propensity properly in a sentence. Ten points. In other news, I think I should get a medal for coming up with a brilliant solution to having the header and the first panel title looking the same - at the last minute I found an achievement generator. Ta-dah.

Mitchell here. First off, I love this comic. So much. Writing about Louis was way too much fun. I love seeing Martin bring my ideas to life, and this one is better than I had pictured it. I thought he might cut off my head from all the stuff I asked him to do here, but he took it and made it amazing. The title is a little lame, but I couldn't think of anything cleverer. More clever. Cleverer. Whatever. Either way, I think this is our best work yet.

I'd also like to take a moment to point out that we are, at the time of this post, #290 out of 1,118 comics. I don't know if that means much on this site, but to me, that's mind blowing. i just over two weeks, we've had nearly 1,000 hits. This is just a little thanks to everyone reading this comic.

And a plea to give us money so we can get our own site.

What? Who said that. Ridiculous.
