Well it's about time I got 005 out. Since 003 and 004 were both released so close to each other, only a day apart, 005 seemed to take forever. Atleast it's finally done and I can really get underway with 006 now.

This comic was huge. Very very huge. In the future I'll definitely try to put a lot more planning into my format to prevent such hugeness from occuring again. This time it was definitely my fault for such hugeness. I put poor planning into the drawings before I actually drew them and as a result, I drew some pictures too damn big. Yeah I could've cut things down on Photoshop but cutting that much off just seemed so wrong to me.

With the controversial 004 finally behind us, let's now all focus on 005. So far I seem to be getting a lot of positive responses. For one thing a lot of people find it funny. That's good. A lot of people also like Bijan's character design. That's also very good. I have to say I'm very proud of the humor in this comic. I was having one of my sprouts of creativity and this was the result.

Anime references! Whooo! Most of you probably don't know it but this comic is loaded with anime references. Well maybe not loaded per say, but there are definitely quite a few very obvious ones. Infact all the references come from one anime in particular. Try to guess which one! (Hint: "Are you wired?")

PS: I did this unintentionally but I guess now that it's been done it really kinda works. The bubble that holds the text "GIANT PENIS!" looks like... Well... A giant penis..."

First of all, you still haven't changed anything on the main page, so it is increasingly out of date and completely incorrect. But that's irrelevent.

Anyway, about the comic... First of all, why did you have to say "You, your friend, and a dumbass named Bijan"? I think that anybody who knows Bijan would knwo that that was him, and anyone who didn't wouldn't know who Bijan was, and therefore wouldn't get that inside joke and not need to know that it's Bijan. I don't know if this was your creative effort, but the name "Cyberia" did amuse me for a few seconds, until I realized it's really not funny. But that's beside the point.

Well although the comic was indeed a big improvement over it's predecessors, I really don't like Max's face in frame... 3 I guess. And you said you were supposed to read it up to down, then left to right. Hmm whatever. Anyway, Max's face really looks messed up. I don't care how embarassed he is, his nose doesn't just disappear. You and your anime... Humph.

Well anyway, the joke was actually kinda funny this time! Wow! And I did appreciate the little Bijan at the end, saying "Death", but did the flipping stuff really need to be in the background? He's not always that wired. Or maybe I should say hyper, since wired may mean something else to you in anime language...

So, overall it was a big improvement, and I hope the trend continues. But I was thinking, you could probably make something funny without making fun of other people. Well, Tripod is being great today, so I'm going to get out of here while I still can.
