And that? Is the visual definition of “fan service”.

Don’t really have much to say about this comic, other than that I put a bit more effort into the art on it. This is the continuation of the scene that started with the mistletoe and carried on to the line that inspired the rather off-color t-shirt designs.

That kiss? Not the best idea. But we’re…um…not going to talk about that.

What we are going to talk about, though, is the 100 Comments Party…which turned in into a 500 Comments Party. Holy crap. That…was bloody amazing, you guys. Seriously. It was also a little crackheaded. There were bulbous eyes, cabana boys, g-strings, cookies, body shots, baby oil, web designs, skinless ones, B-52s, bad singing…and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Over 500 comments of pure insanity in less than 48 hours…yyyeah. I don’t know what we were all smoking this weekend…

…but damn, was it fun.

Thank you to everyone for participating - and thank you to the winners: Sam, first-prize winner for 100, and Lessa, JM, and Indikaze as 2nd, 3rd, and 3rd runner-up. And let’s not forget Barbara, the winner for 500…who won with a comment about bacon cereal and is now the proud owner of a teddy bear with a rather questionable logo on its shirt.

…the comic title, by the way, is a little bit of homage to Lessa and Kaine with their B-52s. Love shack, baby. (Now I’m going to be singing that all day.)

Not much else to say; I don’t think we’ll do another comment party for a while, at least not until the Akismet spam filter is fixed - as having to monitor and approve everything was driving me out of my mind, even with Hikaru’s help. (Thank you, by the way. As much of a dick as you are, you’re also a darling. I owe you.) However, we can set the bar for the next general comments contest, in which we count comments accumulated over time on every post. We’ll say…hrm. We’re well over 2,000 now, so let’s set the bar for…3,000? Yeah, that’ll work. So the next prize will be given away when the overall comment count reaches 3,000. Er…no hurry on that. Really. I think we all need some rest.

I’m out of here. Don’t forget that next Sunday at 5:00p CST is the second DR Live Webcast, in which I may be giving away another prize to one of the listeners. Ciao.

    Ooo, shiny….*-*
    Ahem. Uhm. Right. Fun, indeed. I’m so glad school was canceled tomorrow (er, today), as I may need a while to get over the sleep deprivation and B-52s. :P

    …Guh. For some reason that made me think that next Sunday is the 27th. Thank the gods it isn’t; that’s the date of my competition and I may have missed the webcast. Sorry, just a momentary panic that dates are coming up on me faster than they should. I’m better now.
    (Oh, and your description of the Skinless Ones may keep me up all night, if only due to my sudden inspiration to draw them - or my image of something similar, anyway. This is Not Good. It is far past my bedtime. >:|)

  2. Lessa Says:

    I’m headin down.. the atlanta… high waaaaaay….

    (grooves)

    Thanks for the fun, Adri!

  3. Van Says:

    Wow, Adrien! You’ve come up in the world! 500 comments in 48 hours must be some kind of record for this site, congrats. XD Here’s another toward the 3000. :D

  4. Kujo Hikaru Says:

    Welcome! Maybe you can pay me back by not using those personally embarrassing comic ideas I gave you?

    And if I told you once, I’ll tell you again…that scene is really hot…

  5. Lynn Says:

    *does a dance* The webcast is 3 days before my b-day!! ^^ yay for nearly 17!! :3

    I

  6. Shirvona Says:

    That was fun! Sorry about the bulbous eyes, I think that one was my fault.
    Yay for more webcasting.

  7. Adrien-Luc Sanders Says:

    Kaine: If you draw them, may I see? And good luck on your competition.

    Lessa: Everybody’s movin’, everybody’s groovin’, baby!

    …also, you need to send me your address. And Barbara’s. And poke Barbara to pick out which colors/designs she wants on her shirt, bear, and clock/mousepad (or did you decide for her that it was going to be the clock?).

    Van: I’m still a bit in shock. I wasn’t expecting such a turnout. These people are batshit crazy, yo. Aren’t they great?

    Hikaru: …I’ll think about having mercy. Can I do a comic about The Worrier instead?

    Lynn: …I really wish I knew what it was that you were typing after “I” that always makes your comments go “splorch”.

    Shirvona: The bulbous eyes were funny. Disturbing, but funny…and all in keeping with the overall madness of that thread.

  8. Lessa Says:

    Email on the way, with poking included!

    And I’m still pullin’ for the clock… after all, my birthday IS coming up soon… Not quite as soon as hers, or Lynn’s even, but soon. *g*

    but I…

    Got me a Chrysler, it’s as big as a whale and it’s about to set SAAAAAAAIL…

  9. Tone Says:

    This is me trying not to wonder if you both sleep shirtless or if you just happened to end up that way =D

    Congrats on your try-and-crash-the-servers party. Er. Comment thing =D I’m not surprised by the turnout, though… But I did miss it. My timing sucks. And finals suck more. And I really need sleep now…

  10. Kujo Hikaru Says:

    I don’t see how there can be a non-X-rated comic about The Worrier. So, I guess I’d like to see where you go with that one…

  11. Kate Says:

    This made me lol. Although my conversations usually go “What?” and THEN “Get out.” XD

  12. Sara T. Says:

    Gee, that sounded like something my old stalker would say (may his creepy ass stay at college).

    Then again, that’s he’s never been permitted to come closer to my house than 3 blocks…

    Vikaden’s(sp?) a bitch, but a great excuse to sleep in school…
