You have no idea how extremely proud I was when I finished this one. It is probably the strongest written piece out of the Union Weekly strips thus far. I remember when I submitted this, I was excited to it being published. One week went by, and no new Union Weekly showed up due to budget cuts. And then the following week, it wasn't printed.
I figured that was that, and felt unmotivated in doing a new Dissect My Brain when a strip I was really proud off wasn't accepted. I was losing interest, and then lo and behold, it got published in the following week. So what took so long for this one to hit the shelves? I'm not sure. I never got an explanation from the publisher.
What bothers me the most is that this is a very well written strip, but a lot people have hang-ups about the second panel. I'm wearing a La Parka luchadore mask and talking to my friend Kelly. People complain that Kelly looks too much like me. Of course, she and I look like relatives in real life as well. To make matters worse, it turned out darker when it was printed, and you can't see the outline of her breasts too well in the finished version.
Lastly, in case if you're wondering, the girl in the third panel is the same one from "Wow, She's Really Ugly in Person."
Union Weekly Vol. 68. Issue #6.
