My Site and Drunk Duck

I hope everyone had a great holiday. I have a few commenting on the above page (which hopefully didn't insult anyone who enjoys rap music).

This was one of the first pages that I originally wrote when I first started this comic series, and I needed something for Trevor to "give the bird" about. The topic included sports, movies, and dance clubs.

Being in a car was a given, but I needed something that was obscure and silly. Flipping the bird during a movie doesn't make sense, since the lights are dim. I don't really watch any sports, so that doesn't make a lot of sense. Then I went to my club on Mondays (which plays synth-pop and goth industrial music) and I saw a bunch of guys requesting rap music. I mean, it's a goth-industrial club and you're requesting music that doesn't mesh with the theme of the club?!?

The choice was obvious to me in my mind at that time. While I'm not a fan of rap music personally, I don't really have anything against it. I'm also not a big fan of country music. I'm sure a lot of people don't care for the music that I like myself. That's what makes each of us interesting and unique. So please don't take this as an insult if I poke fun at something that you like. Chances are it was inspired by a specific situation - like the above - and I don't mind explaining the origin of the "joke."

Also, I hope you all see the poster in the background promoting my other comic: The Temple of a Thousand Tears: Hikari

I'm off to prep for my annual New Years party, which draws in an international crowd and is always a good (and hilarious) time. Last year I crammed 37 people into my apartment for a Hawaii-themed party that was full of drinking, Guitar Hero, and tons of silly card games. This year's theme is "Slumber Party," so it'll be interesting to see what people do with that.

I'll give you guys a full run-down of how the night unfolds. Until then, be safe, enjoy yourself, and I'll see you all again in 2009!
