Page Commentary No. 191

Gunwild: Wow Psu, your art on this page sure looks a lot like Brellom's.

Brellom: Yeah. Whatever happened to quality assurance? Did you get lazy for this page?

Psu: A little bit, yeah. I needed a break.

Brellom: Oh wait, this is mine. Gunwild is pulling a fast one on us!

Psu: Thanks Brell. I think this was the first page you drew completely, for us. I think I mentioned that I didn’t really get the meme sweater. But I’m glad someone else drew those braid things on the front.

Brellom: Was it? I can't remember.

Gunwild: No, Brellom had previously done a guest comic before this!  

Brellom: GAAH!

Psu: Ah yeah, that one was good too.

Brellom: I don't think I've done a single guest page for this comic that I've actually really liked. I hope I get the opportunity to change that one of these days.

Psu: You free next week? I mean, I could always use more time off. Watch movies. Play FF7. It’s the same thing really.

Brellom: I dunno, I'll have to see!

Psu: Well anyway, this is a pretty cute two panel thing. I remember asking gunwild for something quick and easy to do after we did the whole Beebot storyline. But I think, at the time, of all the meme outfits. I’m just not a big fan of the sweater thing. What did you guys like bout it?

Brellom: I don't exactly remember, since it's been so long ago... I think there's always something really appealing by these meme outfits though, and it probably has a lot to do with the distribution of shapes created by the apparel. Another part could just be the mixture of silly sexiness, defying your expectations. That said, I don't think this particular drawing does a really good job of that. We'll just have to draw more to make up for it.

Gunwild: I still like it, and even if the memey nature of the sweater has faded, the gag of Cassiopeia not understanding the normal appeal of more practical clothing continues to work for her.

Brellom: I mean, it looks practical to me. Maybe NOW people will stop asking why she's not wearing more when it's cold.

Psu: Well maybe it’s like... you know how you’re in a blanket. And your back is against the sheets but you’re covered by a big soft fabric? Maybe that’s like this. It’s a blanket whenever you lie down.

Brellom: Sometimes it's nice to be warm, but still be able to get a little breeze every now and then.

Gunwild: Maybe it's for when the sun is on your back but you're consistently walking into a chilly breeze!

Psu: Maybe it’s a frank and open discussion about the duality of man? The face we have in public and the face we expose only to ourselves.

Gunwild: Yeah I'm deep.

Brellom: oh yeah that makes sense
