Description Hey guys,

This is a comic strip I had to do for Computer Graphics class. We had to pick a social issue (I picked plastic surgery) and display it in a funny, ironic, or dark way, or simply use the pictures and dialogue to explain how we feel about this particular subject. Obviously, I tried to do something funny and interesting and not make it seem like the sole purpose of the strip was to show my opinion, and I hope I achieved that. In order to make a comic strip, we had to pull some main characters from our heads, and because I did not want to use any of my existing characters, I decided to whip up some new ones. In the short process of character development (in this case anyway), I came up with Harley and Wendy.

I know it's probably not terribly funny, but it's all I could come up with.

I'd say this is about 3 days worth of work over a span of 2 weeks. Done in PSCS with a Wacom Graphire Tablet.

Enjoy, and let me know what you think!

PS: FULL VIEW! Looks best that way.

funnier and more thoughtful that all the anime-shit that you can constantly find in "today's favourites". keep up the good work!

A rather interesting comic. Not the funniest to say the least, but I did get a small chuckle out of it.

Yeah, I know it's not terribley funny. Like I said, it can be difficult to make a social issue "funny" when there are restrictions and when you dont want to make a total jerk out of yerself.

So I totally get your critique. Definately understandable.

Thanks! I only with that I had given this one my all. It's not as great as I had originally imagined it would be. Oh well.

I'm glad you liked it!

Awwww...but Wendy's so pretty! Nuuu Wendy, you are booootiful!

Anywho...

Yay! Good comic. Good mixture of opinion and humour. I like!

Thanks!

The idea, of course, was that Wendy is a pretty girl (depending upon opinion) but many pretty girls feel ugly when they see people who they think are prettier (who usually turn out to be...well....freeze dried models).
