The Famous Cell Phone Pic

Added 2017-05-04 21:26:53 +0000 UTC

Found another old book sketch for you! Back in the storyline wherein Pirta is hijacked out to the field and convinced to play some paintball, at one point she stops behind some bushes and removes the padded chest protector she'd been given, because it was all too hot.

Unknown to her, another player was concealed in the bushes, and snapped a photo using his cell phone- cameras in phones being pretty new at the time, and 'smartphones' not yet existing.

That led to Doc and Roger having to commandeer the phone and keep the photo from hitting the internet. The photo was never seen in the actual storyline, but several people requested a version of it as their book sketch, one of which was also later used in 2009's April Fools' gag.

I've been meaning to do a finished, colored pin-up version of this, but as always, time hasn't been on my side.

Doc.
