Description Hey everyone,
Sorry this weeks strip is a day late, but I've got a bunch of stuff going on! Not the least of which is Guitar Hero World Tour that has made it's way into our home (sans the drum set. We're old school) and Sarah and I are once again hooked. There's nothing like bellowing the lyrics to "Eye of the Tiger" to make you forget you have a comic to finish.

Aaanyhoo, it's gotten late so I'll cut to the chase: the nerds are outta control. Not only have they partied too much for even the pleasure seeking Mr. Brown to stomach, but they've also just discovered toilet humor and slang from 2005! What's next? Borat impressions? Nah, that'd be too hip. Austin Powers impressions is more their speed. May God help us all...

Now this is where I'd say to tune in next week to see how Brown deals with his NEW situation, but Sarah and I are moving next week (just over a few blocks, but to a well earned/deserved nicer place!) so my shit's gonna be in total disarray. Am I skipping a week? Maybe not, but for the next 2 weeks or so, DD updates will be a little on the random side. Don't worry, it's only temporary! I'll be back on a semi-regular weekly schedule in NO TIME!

Thanks for reading and all the slack cutting you're doing! Work on producing the DD figurine seems to be coming along nicely! It won't be too long now! More deets soon! Later!
-John

Now I feel guilty for ever using the word 'snap' instead of a cuss....

Fun fact: I was going to use "shit" instead of "snap." I decided against it as I might not be able to update for 2 weeks or so and didn't want new readers coming to my site during my hiatus to think that DEAD DAYS was a cuss-fest sort of strip. Plus "snap" makes me smile and I think the nerds would be more likely to use it.

Your comic has drunken fools, strippers, and bitch slapping all around and you're afraid of a little cursing? The lady doth protests too much me thinks.

Nah, it's a general feel you have to keep with your strip. I'm not afraid of cussing, but I'd never have them drop the F bomb. Not because I'm scared of offending, but because it compromises the overall feel and attitude of my strip. The point of DD is fun, not to offend. Sure it might offend sometimes, but it's in the name of fun. DD is my baby and I'm protective.

It's nice to hear that. Too many times have I met artists/cartoonists who have no respect for their characters. Thank for that.

'Oh snap' backwards = 'Ho pans' rhyming with 'no pants'! There's a hidden code!

I didn't even know the boys HAD classes. I've only seen them do anything about them once.

Ahh wow, they really have turned the tables! And that "OH SNAP" thing is really funny, but what makes it hilarious is the expression that goes with it.
