Gag strip: Shoe Shopping.
Steely Gaze on June 15, 2008
This was the first AROTD gag strip, independent of any storyline, that I had ever done. I came up with it either early this year or late last year while standing around in a department store and waiting. I do a lot of waiting in department stores if they don't have things I want. And I happened to be standing in front of a shoe rack and thought how dull this was, so to amuse myself I put each of my characters in the same situation as me, and found that only Andrew really had any fun.
And so, here you have it! You now know how to make your very own AROTD comic strip! :P
Next up, I know you were all expecting the start of our next storyline, titled If You Build It, but I've got one more, spur-of-the-moment gag strips I want to use.
Be warned, it may offend those of you with strong moral views. (But you're reading my comic, so I doubt it.)

To be honest, I'd probably have more fun shopping for a power saw than shoes. Then again, a stiletto can be just as lethal.

I liked that line as well, Gadora. It just cracked me up. That's honesty for you! :)

I like the candid "I cheat at cards" admission.

Thanks you two! Reidavidson: Wow, another one up for shoe shopping with Andrew! What a lucky guy! Hmm, perhaps I must get in touch with my feminine side.... Wins the ladies, right? ;) Trevoramueller: Thanks for reading!

Awwww, I'll go shoe shopping wit' ya!

Thanks you guys! Amanda: I like shopping for cement shoes, so what's that say about me? :) Antcomics: That's a very good point. I had written this a long time ago, before a lot of Andrew's character was clear to me. That's why it feels a little disjointed with Andrew being embarrassed. I believe, as he developed, I wasn't sure if Jared and Henry were to know about him or not. So it's a little messed up here. BetaJess: I'll let Andrew know and you two can set a date, okay? :)

I'll go shoe shopping with you, Andrew!

Hey nothing wrong with gag strips. We all need 'em! And it's so nice to wrap something up in one nice neat little package...(at least I think so). =) Funny that Andrew got all embarassed...I mean, Henry and Jared gotta know him pretty well by now (they wouldn't poke fun now, would they?) ;p

Haha, that's awesome. I think I'd have much more fun shopping for power tools and cement than shopping for shoes. *shrug*

Thanks for the comments! Nigbun: Yes, very manly. Exactly what I was aiming for. :D Spiritmonkey: Actually it's just a plain shirt unbuttoned and rolled up. But no problem. I'll put you down for one, okay? It'll probably be shipped about the time Amanda's War Helmet is. :P Flup: Ewps indeed. Kid: More scripts, aye, aye! I'll have one or two done today, I promise. ;)

Yeah...work boots...cement, and stuff. ;p *lol* This one was easy to draw--but the next was even easier! (I got it done EARLY!) Now give me more scripts! >={

Ewps!

I love Jared's jacket

I used to go shoe shopping with my mates. Of course, the only guys who would ever be seen dead with me were gay anyway, so it sort've worked out XD Cement, saws, work boots... very manly :B
