Rant Tile: Back into the swing of things.
Well, here we are, back to story comics. They take longer than the Holiday comics did to make because the drawings are more technical and require longer to draw and colour. For the foreseeable future they will be updated every Friday. If these is going to be more than one comic a week it will be uploaded on Wednesday. Comics on a Monday seem to be a pipe dream at this point.
Anyway, on a personal note, I’d like to give a shout out to my Boyfriend Rowie_me. He bought me the most beautiful collection of flowers for Valentines Day. I’ll upload a picture to the gallery at some point next week! Keep any eye out for it!
Also, happy birthday to John Goth and Cory!
Regards
Shauni

Rant Title: T-Shirts and stuff
Almost 6 months ago I started working on a few T-shirt designs for Josiah. I put the project on hold when he went of to Japan as I assumed he wouldn’t need them. About 2 months ago he told me that he was still actually waiting for me to get off my butt and DO something and that he hadn’t given up the idea of T-shirts while he was away. The delays are my entire fault, and for that I’m sorry.
To make up for my terrible neglect of this project, I’m putting ROM comics on the backburner as I really need to concentrate on this T-shirt and get the designs sorted. There is currently two versions of the 'grass kid' t-shirt uploaded on the galley!
Question: Why is it taking so long to finish the T-shirts? You’ve had months!
Answer: I had an attack of Real Life, which includes, but is not limited to: Dating, courtship, work, redecorating, holidays and the like. I’ve only had time for one ROM comic a week as is for four months now...and I’ll be honest, I put the project on hold for so long I forgot until Josiah mentioned it in a forum post yesterday.
In other news I fell on my arse ice skating and banged the base of my spin. Because it was a spinal injury they (the first aiders that work there) wouldn’t let me walk of the ice, I had to wait for a gurney. It was all very embarrassing and now my back/ bum hurts like hell.
Also, on a happy note, I uploaded a picture of the flowers http://shauni-chan.deviantart.com/art/F ... y-77757191 Rowie_me http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fu ... =280781098 got me!
Have a nice weekend!

Okay...that was very unexpected since you never did game jokes before now.
Why are some words red though? Is that like in Phoenix Wright? *Didn't play it sadly due to lack of DS*

"OH MY DEAR HOLY SWEET GOD ON EARTH! NO FAIR!!! MRWAAAAA! " -Shauni after typoing a word, correcting it, then typoing the correction
It’s a new thing I’m trying. You can’t hear how the words are spoken, but changing colour and font help to mark a word. Red meaning spoken with hate, bold spoken loader. Font size meaning a yell. Different font’s for ascents used. When Moen’s font goes all ‘dusty’ he’s specking with a sort of rasp in his voice.

You hit the nail on the head. I can't upload the image to my hotmail account as I've not got net access at home. I've lost my bloddy USB stick to so I can't transfer them on to another computer. After work i'm going to buy another one so the grass kid WILL be sent to you tommz, I 'll do the same for the ROM comic but it's going to be Friday morning. I hope I make the deadline for the update.

Rant Tile: Quoth the raven, `Nevermore.'
Before I start today, I’d like to direct you to this news article about an earthquake http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/7266136.stm in the UK. Some of our American readers my not be impressed with the 5.3 magnitude quake, but I’d like to reminded them it’s the biggest earthquake in the UK for nearly 25 years. I was awakened just before 1am by the tremor, wondering why the hell my BED was moving. It didn’t occur to me it was an earth quake as in England the GROUND isn’t SUPPOSED to MOVE. I only found out on Thursday what it was. It was all very confusing.
Okay, now that that is out of the way, I’ll return to ROM comic news.
Last weeks comic http://www.pebbleversion.com/ROM/ROMArc ... ip287.html needed some explanation and I failed/ forgot to provide it, so here it is.
Firstly, the word "valkyrie" comes from the Old Norse valkyrja (plural "valkyrur"), from the words "val" (slain) and "kyrja" (choose). Literally the term means choosers of the slain. In Norse mythology the valkyries are minor female deities, who served Odin. Although he is named after warrior women, Valkyrie is very much male. His name was chosen as Moen’s life literally rest in his hands. Let him be slain, or face the wrath of the outraged crowed so he can have a trail.
Secondly, Fable in the second panel is making an obvious Phoenix Wright http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix_Wr ... e_Attorney reference here. I’ve yet to play the Nintendo DS game myself yet, but the image and slogan have become interrogated in pop culture, and it’s kinda obvious what it’s referring to. Come on, she’s even wearing his suit!
Now that’s out of the way, let’s talk about TODAYS comic!
Some of the lines spoken by Fable here are from the famous Edgar Allan Poe poem ‘The Raven’ http://www.heise.de/ix/raven/Literature ... Raven.html . "The Raven" is a narrative poem first published in January 1845, by American writer and poet Edgar Allan Poe. It tells of a talking raven's mysterious visit to a distraught lover, tracing the latter's slow descent into madness. The lover is lamenting the loss of his love, Lenore. The raven, sitting on a bust of Pallas, seems to further instigate his distress with its constant repetition of the word, "Nevermore." Throughout the poem. If you are having trouble understanding the events in the poem due to the use of old English, it’s ‘translated’ on wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Raven
Also, as a forewarning, I’m having internet trouble at home, and it’s is probably going to effect ROM updates. Keep a check on this thread http://forums.pebbleversion.com/viewtopic.php?t=535 for updates on the issue.

That's... integrated. In the blog, not the comic itself. I know you were talking about Pheonix Wright, but 'interrogated' is not the right (wright?) word.
"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.
