Genuine Draft: Year 1 Page No.12 Strip # 154 Updated On 3/16/09 Jessica Angel is a character based on 3 different characters from the novel universe. What does Raven know about Jess? What is Jess's secret? When I know you may... Strip # 155 Updated On 3/17/09 Rosewood, is the Rimminion Royal family name. All the girls have the shortend "Rose" as either a first or middle name, most it's the middle. Rose, is the name of the matriarch and middle of the oldest daughter, which was killed. SassyRose Rosewood is the youngest. I hate complicated family histories, but I seem to create alot of them. Strip # 156 Updated On 3/18/09 The back stories I have on these characters are quite large, some of them go back nearly 30 years. I love the way the last two panels turned out. I tried new techniques and worked good. Strip # 157 Updated On 3/19/09 Poor Violet, the hack fluff reporter. She doesn't get a break, does she? The mystery will continue. 153rd Operation:Firefly Pt.1 No.158 to No.166 Strip # 158 Updated On 3/20/09 It's been awhile since Samson has made an appearance. I don't think I've ever mentioned Shadoe's full name which is Kirk Chamberlain. He's a demo expert which is why he prefers to blow things up rather than talk. Strip # 159 Updated On 3/21/09 For those of you whom are women, what Kirk is saying, is what most guys are thinking when out with a girl. I know shocking. Strip # 160 Updated On 3/22/09 I was once in a diner which had a sign that said, "Please wait until the cook points out a place." Now if you look in the background, there is a girl with red hair. Her name is Shari and this is her first appearance. She's Steph's twin sister. Buni, is a professional server, she understands the best way to make the big money is flaunt what you got. I'm working on a custom minifig for her to emphasize her assets. I just wish LEGO™ would make blond hair. Strip # 161 Updated On 3/23/09 I understand what Tommy is going through. I tend to ask what I've done wrong at work when being asked to do something I really don't want to do. And isn't it nice to see they do notice Bob isn't there? Strip # 162 Updated On 3/24/09 Here we have henchmen. The rat rod is from the LEGO™ Creator Hot Rod Garage. I've seen real life rat rods and let's just say, there's a lot of junk. There are also some really nice "traditional" hot rods which get labeled as garbage. Hey, I spend my summer's at car shows. Strip # 163 Updated On 3/25/09 How many times have you been asked to do something and the truth is you've only seen it done and it's usually by the least competent person. And of course it's the manager's fault. Strip # 164 Updated On 3/26/09 Rifts gone wild! What happens when there's a rift and rocket? Who knows. The third panel rocket is actually there. No Photoshopping to get it there. It's attatched to a clear piece that's being help up by a tree. It was a simple solution that's only noticeable at the original size of the strip. Strip # 165 Updated On 3/27/09 Dun dun dun! I should put up a sound file of dramatic music here. Detective Jessica Angel, Virgil and Kirk, and of course Tommy. Suspense! Strip # 166 Updated On 3/28/09 R.E.M. perfect cataclysmic end of the world music. I like how the fire and explosion's turned out. I have several stock photos of fire and explosions which are very useful. Intermission: Guest Comics No.167 to No.172 Strip # 167 Updated On 3/29/09 Well the universe has blown up. No more. Okay not really. Intermission. For the next few days, I will be displaying movie type trailers of comics I have read and some that answered my call for guest strips on a couple of forums I visit. Don't worry, Genuine Draft will be back.
