Dissect My Brain (Union Weekly Serial) Season 1, Episode 2: "Fumble."

Ladies and gentlemen, you are in for a treat! Here is the completely unedited version of "Fumble." What does this mean? Well, unfortunately it's nothing scandalous; it just means that you can see more of the picture than what was previously seen in the Union Weekly. It's not really that big of a deal, but when I first saw this comic published and noticed that a small portion had been cut, it looked a bit off.

All things considered, this is the real debut for Dissect My Brain in the Union Weekly. I wanted to do a strip that explains the premise of the comic, but with the next strip airing on Valentines' Day, I couldn't pass up a special day strip. I revisited Gretchen from a previous strip. As of writing this blog, it is possibly my favorite from the Union Weekly run. It's a silly thing to get excited over, but I was happy that it got top-billing when it was pressed.

Reception-wise, this one was overwhelmingly positive. It's also noteworthy that I even got reception for a comic. It was a surprise for Gretchen, who apparently, was told by friends that there was a comic about her in the Union Weekly; I can't tell if she liked it or not. The funny story I have about this is that I currently tutor at a high school, and they saw this strip when they went on a college tour. Now, they ask me all the time about Gretchen (when they're upset, they tease), and I really have nothing to tell them.
