I really, really don't like this comic. It took too long to go, and the last two panels look awful. I keep drawing Sera's chin wrong for some reason, and I haven't quite figured out Tim's hair. If you're a long time site visitor, and you remember that awful, horrible piece of garbage webcomic I did way back when called "Intermissions", then you may remember Gabe. Gabe was, in fact, based off my friend Bryan, and it was sort of our pet project until we figured out we didn't want to do it anymore. Tim inherits Gabe's hairstyle, albeit with a ponytail. Unfortunately having rushed his creation, I have inadvertently given him Dragonball Z hair, which is something I shall correct very quickly.

The wonderful part of all this though, is that it's a flashback, so Tim's hair may have changed and de-DBZ'd itself over the years. I do in fact keep a chart of characters the way most pro's do it. Unfortunately I was rushed for time and didn't think to sketch Tim out first on the sheet. Thank God they wore dress uniforms to the graduation, or Tim may indeed have been dressed funny (I don't have a standard costume for him yet).

Overall though, I'm happy with this start. It's a good tempo, one that isn't relying on gags or cheap humour to roll it along. In all reality, this is "sci-fi romance" more than a "romantic comedy", so I hope it appeals to both male and female readers. If you do like the comic and have anything to say, please go vote in the poll that we've got up in the extras section. By the way, thanks to Dave for all his help with this update.
