1-10 – Break-in
Monday, February 5th, 2007– Commentary –
Craig: Panel 4, where the Maintainer and Lillith’s belongings end up overturned all over their storage unit, is my favorite on this page. It was fun drawing all their ornaments and books and papers. It was almost painful to draw all the ball ornaments breaking. In my family we have some very old, sentimental ball ornaments like that, and I’d be really mad if they got smashed by some jerk stealing my internet connection!
J.D.: Fortunately, we don’t have to worry about you throwing anyone into an outer realm. I’ve had some of my nice ornaments like that smashed. Not by a thief though.
Craig: It’s not surprising that Leon cuts himself while splicing the wire.
J.D.: He was hanging from it.
Craig: Yes. I used to be a network guy. I used to make Ethernet cables by crimping the ends onto Cat-5. Those things have some serious tensile strength. Put 160 pounds on it and then cut it all of a sudden and you’ve got some problems.
J.D.: Obviously. 🙂
Craig: I love the font you used for the “snikt” in Panel 6. Very bloody and eeeeew.
J.D.: I pride myself on that. 🙂
Craig: Oh, one last thing. In panel 1, I still giggle when I see that Leon has built his stack of boxes by putting the Christmas ornaments on the bottom, followed by the box of papers and then the box of books. It makes me cringe.
J.D.: An architect he is not.

You know, it’s funny — I don’t notice details like the box order that much, I guess I’m often not very observant.
As always, some lovely touches in there you too 🙂

I want to apologise for my terrible spelling of the word two before anyone else notices it.
