As you can see, I rehashed some old ideas that were touched on from the original strips. It's true: the moment you make anything creative, everyone has ideas. I'm welcoming towards ideas, but at some point, you need to draw the line. If you don't, you'll lose your personal creative vision and who's to say it's your own project anymore. People will get offended when you fight for your own vision and they'll question your character, but when it has been met 100%, it's a very rewarding experience.
While I do like how this was written, I'm not a fan of the art. I attempted to follow the guidelines given to making a comic for the Union Weekly, which requires you draw 9" x 2". I've been using a larger size for the previous strips, and as such, they tend to get edited when printed in the newspaper. Drawing on a such a small space is big challenge! I'm not a fan of how I drew my friend Kevin Lin's face at the very end; I probably should've cheated and just digitally copied the panel.
Original Publication: March 21, 2011.
