The only point being made here is the donkey’s ding-a-ling. Badum ching

But yeah, this is pretty much to make readers either go, “Hah!” or “Bwah?”

I wouldn’t say proposing, but I don’t see why we couldn’t at least… think… about it?

Typically with people, generally my friends, I’ll leave completely bizzare voicemails. But I don’t hold a candle to one of my friend’s who makes up the most absurd things I’ve ever heard.

Yuri’s ethnicity is actually meant to be ambiguous at this time. Which is why I went with the name, because it can belong to so many types of nationalities and ethnicities. But I did decide on it before I introduced her as a character.

Within the next year I actually plan on doing an arc that will revolve around Lee’s name. Whether I’ll get around to it is another story.

There have been a few times that I am unable to do something that I thought of since it would conflict with things that I have already established. But rarely is it anything too serious, and generally I’m able to compensate and still come up with something that I like. Though I’m sure that soon enough I’ll be unable to do something that I would really like to do, or create a continuity error. Maybe there’s one already here… somewhere…

Are you trying to make a point here, or are you just trying to weird out your readers?

Um… no one is proposing actually growing babies in test tubes, are they?

I find the best solution to getting the voicemail (in general, not girls specifically) is to hang up. Sometimes people ring back and ask why I didn’t leave a message, however.

Out of idle curiosity (and this isn’t a criticism of your drawing style) what ethnicity is Yuri supposed to be? It’s usually a Russian boy’s name…!

I thought Lee might well be a surname, but that doesn’t explain the other two…

How often do you find that you can’t use an idea because it conflicts with what’s gone before?

It’s not too much of a reference since it’s not within the comic itself. It’s from the title. I reference many different things from the title’s themselves. Various things… things that people in their right mind should never even catch.

The best board game drunk might be Cranium.

I don’t see the Futurama reference. Maybe I need to watch it all again. (Or maybe I don’t have time.)

Drunk board games were certainly a major feature of my university years (particularly Monopoly and Diplomacy. Risk was usually sober for some reason.)
