Webcomic posting! I don't read them a lot, but I do love Perry Bible Fellowship, Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal, Horribleville, and SUPER MEGA COMICS. (No idea why I like that last one). The concept behind this is 'closure.' There has been a story arc going in some of the postings I've made, and this concludes it. It feels like a webcomic to me. I should have used expressive linework, but as the text implies, I just ran out of time for anything. Hey look, it's the smiley face from the first comic, uncrumpled!

I probably have read others that I cannot recall right now. It was a semester not shy of text and picture. Hopefully I can keep up the pace in the future. And draw more. And all that.
Oh, and by the way, the posting immediately before this was supposed to be the original Week 14 posting, and this current posting is the re-do. I didn't feel like rewriting and redrawing a comic from earlier in the year, and instead I just planned this out and corrected any spelling /grammatical errors from every posting that needed them. I think that's fair, no? I hope you've enjoyed reading my posts, I tried to make them entertaining.
