HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!!

I actually drew this strip up last year in hopes that I would have it up for STEFF'S birthday (which is in April). I think it's pretty funny that, coincidentally, it's going up on my own birthday instead.

Steff is quite possibly David Bowie's biggest fan. Or, if not, definitely in the Top 10. And she loves orange or “annoyingly bright” green. Since Lisa was already wearing orange, I decided to go with green for Steff. I actually didn't have a coloured pencil that was “annoyingly bright” enough for Steff's shirt, so I coloured it in with a sort of bland coloured pencil and then upped the “hue/saturation” once I scanned it in. Because I'm awesome like that.

In panel 3, Wheylin's “I need to be somewhere that's else” is basically the same as saying “I need to be somewhere else.” I was contemplating using “I need to be somewhere that's not here,” but that seemed boring to me.

Anyone out there read EC Comics?? Tales From…/Vault Of…/Haunt of…/old MAD comics/etc.
