Title: 2001-10-02- I got him a Stomper!

I didn't realize that "a momentary diversion on the road to the grave" came about this early. One of my favorite Achewood bits, or whatever. Maybe there was just a poster I liked?

His pose has changed JUST enough where you can tell he wasn't just copied from the first two panels.

As if to say "his position doesn't really need to be different and it wouldn't make any sense for it to be much different but I have to prove that I am rendering new things for the third panel".

So the bear leans slightly.

I like this.

I've actually integrated it seamlessly years ago. I've long forgotten that I'm using something from achewood. Mind blown.

You must lead a charmed life.

Post by: Carlos del Vaca on March 24, 2011, 01:28:27 pm: I use "Because of a problem?" as well. When someone demands to know why something went wrong, and there isn't a particularly good explanation.

I should clarify that the "proper situation" includes me remembering that now would be a good time to use the line "Because of a problem?" This has yet to happen.

Post by: jay-ell on March 24, 2011, 01:55:51 pm: Yeah, "Because of a problem" happens almost daily in our house.

"Why is there an empty jar of peanut butter in the refrigerator?"

"Because of a problem?"
