Man, everyone just pops in to see this Matthew guy, huh? I keep thinking I’ll turn the page and see Weird Al Yankovic chatting with him or something.
A quick pop back into the video game developers sub-sub-storyline — I had friends who were playing the Star Wars online game at the time, and it always amazed me how much time and effort they put into the damn thing. It was like they had two jobs, the first job from 9-5 and the other job from 7 p.m. to midnight; the big difference being they had to pay somebody else to work their second job. I just can’t get behind these grindy online games. I’d rather be, well, writing comics.
