And now, the #100s:

---

I started using backgrounds around this time, but for this comic it was to mock people who used the standard grass/blue sky background. Oh yeah, and overuse of Dark709 eyes (which I really should have actually used here, but for some reason didn't). In making fun of zany guest star comics, I made a zany guest star comic.

The "You also haven't taken advantage of my sheet!" line is meant to make fun of some guest stars (not Toa Jetice, but others) who wanted me to use everything they gave me.

Oh, the Private Eye series. Oh, what might have been... I don't actually know much film noir, just the cliches of it.

I think this is the first time I extensively used backgrounds in a comic, and I'm pleased with how it came out. Some things I would improve if I was making this comic today (those bar stools make me flinch now, and the dead body needs to look more...well, dead), but for an initial foray I'm happy with it (I like those little salt and pepper shakers and that top-down view in the last panel is way ahead of its time for me).

This was another genius script Jphyper sent me. My younger brother (the Nuju one I mentioned earlier, not Ben) was really into Yu-Gi-Oh at the time, and I took great delight in knowing this comic annoyed the heck out of him.

This was LE's idea. I had to get braces too, so I know the pain only too well...

This must be my favorite of the three Private Eye comics, just cause of that great dialogue in the alley. I also liked the idea of pulling LE into the story.

That "mansion" in the seventh panel irks me today. Well, it's a start...

And rounding off this set of comics, the first comic of 2006! I like the idea of a "Year in Review" comic; I should have done more...

And I think this is the first (possibly only) time I mentioned Three Kakama Productions in my comics. For the record - Kakama Rahi is my favorite.
