Serializer, 2002, 2nd-ever post
Added 2024-02-22 20:52:09 +0000 UTCThis is going back, back, back so far that the type is pixelated and their muzzles are, for some unknown reason, now rendering as blotchy color, as though they were slowly derezzing out of our universe entirely. (This was apparently before I knew about archiving the original high-res files in some way that could be searched for.)
The 9/11 attacks were a fresh memory, there was a lot of Gordon's Handle-Style Discount Vodka going on, and Achewood's nascent voices were still blurring and bursting beneath the microscope lens. I was becoming interested in drawing chairs, an elusive and mystic element of the craft which would come to taunt and frustrate me for decades, often at the expense of the written content itself.

this so so good

2024-02-26 15:55:47 +0000 UTCI usually kept a handle of Gordon's and another handle of something even more wretched on the top shelf behind the breadmaker for those times when I might run out of what I liked to drink.

2024-02-24 12:45:15 +0000 UTCBeef had the aviators starting around junior high, so this predates that. The glasses Ray had that were aviator-style were actually Vuarnet ski sunglasses with the leather side-panels, and came just a few years after this. They often appear when the boys are skating.

2024-02-23 05:27:22 +0000 UTCThis test in school asked why some dude in A Separate Peace jumped off the tree branch into the water, and I was like "it's the most obvious, safe, and practical way to get down from there", and I got it wrong because the correct answer is he wanted to symbolically wash away the pain of hurting his friend.

2024-02-23 03:24:28 +0000 UTCI relate to Ray. My childhood is also lime green in my memories.

2024-02-23 02:09:50 +0000 UTCEven back in 2002, Ray was dabbling in this world.

2024-02-23 01:35:42 +0000 UTCI like that Ray has worn the same style of glasses for so long. There’s a constancy to that dude’s style…

2024-02-22 22:56:07 +0000 UTCI really like the sartorial choice Cornelius has made in this strip, especially since I dress exactly like him at my advanced age.

2024-02-22 21:31:41 +0000 UTCI see it. Did they have 3 oval slots in back, middle one longer than the other two?
