Shonta: Well, yes, it's hard to program perfectly on the first shot. But you've still gotta try! I've spent way too many days of my life debugging Java programs because a single semicolon was missing... *cries*


Inferno: Hehe, glad you like the ringtones! Background research is good.

And as for the discovery... well... you'll see. Maybe.


Faiz: Determination pays! Although I will say, life is harder when you're sleep deprived. I had to give a lesson today after being awake for almost 30 hours straight (couldn't sleep last night)... I suspect I repeated the same point about a half-dozen times, although I don't really remember.


Blade: The migraine he had before was nothing.


Dark: Well, I'd say that stunned him pretty well. Imagine having all your skepticism proven faulty with something as simple as changing an outfit!

And believe me, sleep-deprivation is just as bad as insanity. Perhaps worse, since the latter can be controlled with drugs. Which can be crammed down your throat due to the legal rightlessness of the insane.


CEB: Hehe, well, thanks then. I do like to do that sort of thing, although it works better in this format than in a traditional fic. (People don't seem to like flipping back and forth between scenes thirty times in one chapter, for some reason.) That's one of the reasons I find this whole process entertaining.

Of course, you may not know all the pages in my suspense-building playbook... hehehe...


Weasel: "Gavinishot"?

...

"Gavin I shot"?

YOU SHOT GAVIN? NO!


Gabi: Repeatedly compiling in the short term can prevent long term hair-pulling, you're right. Although when you're first writing the code, it can sometimes be trickier to distinguish real errors from the "that'll be fixed when the rest of the program is done" complaints.

And what have I found, anyway? Maybe I'm bluffing, and I simply found a pogo stick or something. (Look! Evidence of ancient lifeforms!)


Gavin: Hey, at least it's an honest portrayal of you, Gav. It's true to life! Think of it as a bonus. ...Besides, it can't be any more embarrassing than me listening to "Team Rocket's Rockin'."

And what's the info that I've found? Maybe this will reveal a clue...












#28: Have you noticed how I sometimes use the little word bubbles to block things? In the last panel, the original picture had two additional people: Naru Narusegawa and Mitsune Konno. I couldn't completely block them out, but the brown masses that are visible could just as easily be extra furniture, or something. At least the attention is diverted.

The title is a reference to an old John Candy movie: "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles."

See that timestamp on the paused video? That was a very late addition. I'd already saved the file, then I said, "I'm changing this to make it cool." So I did. I later added a similar thing to the already-completed #19, as well. And the frames from that page make another appearance, hooray!
