Brown is srs bsns.

Just a heads up, but update schedules may be in flux in the near future. My 9-5 contract job is over and I start a part-time job next week, no idea yet what the schedule will be like. I’ll keep you all in the loop re: updates as I can.
Oh, and if you missed it in last strip’s comments, DSHigsby made a Selkie TF2 spray to promote spy-ness. Fun stuff, thank you!
Miss Ellen’s belly-button! GASP! I didn’t know this comic was explicit!
I do believe I’ve succumb to the vapors.
I’m not surprised that Lillian plays go, though I am somewhat surprised that Agent Brown does.
Also, for future reference, most people play stones by placing their index finger under the stone, not their thumb. Then again, judging by the game, they both appear to be beginners…
It honestly didn’t occur to me to research how “real” Go players handle and manipulate the stones. I drew them handling the stones the way I do. Holding with your index finger UNDER the stone kind of feels awkward to me (trying it now with a soda can tab)
It feels a bit unnatural at first, but it eventually becomes second nature (and it’s genuinely easier to place a stone that way if the board is crowded). This page has more details.
Also, I don’t know how you drew the board, but you might want to consider doing what the authors of the manga/anime series “Hikaru no Go” did, and use real games. For instance, real games virtually never have clumps of stones that aren’t surrounded by opposing stones, as in the lower left of the board (from panel 3′s perspective).
Like, photographs of real games? Because I considered that but I don’t generally like the patchworked look that gives.
Not photographs, just board layouts. That way the game looks more natural. You’d still draw it the way you do now, but with the stones in different places.
Maybe you’re thinking that if the index finger is under, then the thumb is over? No — the middle finger is over, and the stone is held against the nail of the index finger.
In all fairness, some “accidents” do result in “infant incidents.”
Well, maybe not “accidents” in the conventional sense, but they can be the result to carelessness. That and I never really liked the idea of someone being thought of as an “accident.”
What was my point again…?
I’m not sure, but I’m with Dave in repeating “infant incidents” and giggling. Might be the fact I only slept 4 hours last night.
……ssooooo I forgot to ask in TF2 what is your most used…..so I can make that look be the next for selkie……… *mumbles*-I dot to stop watching Dr. who and drawing-
There is nothing wrong with watching Doctor Who and drawing. Me, I am usually playing video games and drawing, which is worse.
I haven’t played TF2 in a while now that I think about it. My favorite classes are Heavy Pyro and Engineer, though. Mostly Pyro (Do you believe in magic?).
One shudders to imagine what inhuman thoughts lie behind that mask.
What dreams of chronic, sustained cruelty…
ahhaha yes I do. I’m more medic/ sniper/ spy……… yes you can make spy Vs. spy jokes at me!
I actually picture Selkie as a Scout in TF for some reason. Of course now we get to yell “That spy is a Selkie!”
shhhhhh don’t tell them that shes got her scout look up!
I’m pretty sure “paparazzi” is a plural term. “Paparazzo” is the singular.
Does Agent Brown have a band of renown?
The question is: What kind of Agent is Agent Brown?
An MiB Agent, or a Matrix Agent? (The three Agents in The Matrix were Agents Smith, Jones, and Brown. Brown was the Big Agent).
I have been saying it all along that Selkie is a deep-one and Agent Brown works for the special services branch of the New Earth Government aka the Freak squad. When something goes bump in the night when a cultest summon other worldly creatures he is there to reel them in.
What I don’t understand is why Mary had to tell Lillian at all? It seems to me that if she just kept it to herself Agent Brown would never have known … unless Todd becomes a nuisance with his questions. Which he might. He’s still not happy. Politics! Intrigue! Playdates! This comic has it all!
Todd, being the kind of father he is, doesn’t seem likely to ignore a CIA agent watching his daughter. It’d possibly be worse if Todd and Brown meet, and Brown finds out Mary spilled the beans about him from a third party. Anyone can make an honest mistake, but lying–even by omission–is inviting trouble. (And offering it pizza when it shows up.)
