Atittude!

They rhyme.  Sesame Street says so.

Anyway!  I must admit it's nice to be posting here again with a bit of a purpose.  The comic kinda died when Joe was busy writing his novel and unforutnately became bored with it again.  As the rational and to-the-point guy I am, it's safe to say that I am the comic's harshest critic.  I want this to work out, but in order for that to happen, changes had to be made.  No one is motivated to do something they don't enjoy doing nor have to do, and no one laughs if they don't get the joke.  That's what we're aiming for with 362 3.0; Joe has changed the art style to be more fun for him to draw, and Chance and I are doing our part to make sure each strip has individual humor while still remaining within the 362 realm.  Before it was just stuff we found funny.  Now we're extending the humor to what is both funny to us and something the reader can relate to or visualize.  We're trimming the fat.

That being said, I'll be doing some script work of my own to keep the mental taxation off Joe's brain and to add a little flavor to the strip.  Before that happens, though, most of what you see now is from Joe's noodle while he's still feeling refreshed and eager to draw.  I also have a lot of shit on my plate keeping me sidetracked, and it's not going so well. Essentially, I'm getting sucked back into WoW because of my piece of shit xbox, I'm getting less sleep than I would like to be getting, it's cold outside, and even though I've been done with exams for a week now, the stress level is rising due to external factors too gruesome and personal to mention here.  Mash that all together and you get a rather unpleasant-to-be-around Bobby.  I may quite possibly have Seasonal Affective Disorder.  Google it.

And on a closing note, it's quite liberating to be ourselves on the website after lifting the "family friendly" policy.  It's not how we are at all and prevented the characters (and us) from fully expressing ourselves. As a firm believer of Net Neutrality and freedom of speech, it feels good to be able to show you what we're really like.

It's late. I'm tired. Oh yea, I still smoke. Despite the cold.  I fucking hate the cold...
