To quote, um, you - don't be so hard on yourself!<br /><br />BTW, the over-the-top date requests happen here in Oregon, too. It's almost a contest at the high school to see who can be the most outrageous. Haven't seen anyone use elephants yet, but thanks for putting that out there.

I think Jena described it best, though, when she suggested that it's not as <b>clean</b> as some of my other work.Arie Van De Graaffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12170926603517840899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2078555944130693773.post-89205696134863440692010-09-16T13:10:33.680-06:002010-09-16T13:10:33.680-06:00After staring at it for a few minutes, I think I c...After staring at it for a few minutes, I think I can tell that the lines are a little wobbley; or maybe a better phrase would be not as clean as your other comics. Or maybe since you said something, I'm trying to look for something that isn't there. Now I'm obsessed with finding something "off" with this comic. You better just tell us what it is.<br /><br />By the way, is the practice of asking dates out to school dances through extreme measures only a Utah thing? Or is it nationwide? Anybody know?Jenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01148168360970327728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2078555944130693773.post-54449369920844334422010-09-16T10:06:42.168-06:002010-09-16T10:06:42.168-06:00Looks good to me! :)Looks good to me! :)Wendihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05182455822784592676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2078555944130693773.post-29520169958831456002010-09-16T07:07:55.499-06:002010-09-16T07:07:55.499-06:00You're going to have to provide some type of d...You're going to have to provide some type of detailed analysis of the errors--I can't see them. In staring at it the only conclusion I can come to is that the elephant's ears look a lot like those of the Who-hearing Horton.<br /><br />Then again, I'll bet Michaelangelo couldn't ever walk into the Sistine Chapel without cursing under his breath "Dang--shoulda drawn that cherub a little bigger!"Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01454044084645548171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2078555944130693773.post-9398062479803221922010-09-16T07:00:16.806-06:002010-09-16T07:00:16.806-06:00Arie, My non discerning artist eye doesn't not...Arie, My non discerning artist eye doesn't notice anything off. I think you would have to point out to me the problems you see with it.<br /><br />Then again, I think it has to do with the story about the carpenter who spent time and energy on making a part of what he was building perfect that nobody else would see and know it wasn't up to his standard. When asked why, he replied, "I would know."<br /><br />You know it isn't perfect, but to us Fans of the Mormon Cartoonist, I am just happy to get more comics and hope to get many more comics from you in the future. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing your talent even if you think it isn't perfect. I would imagine that parents can point to this as an example to their kids that they don't have to do something perfect, they can just do the best they can with what they have.<br /><br />JonJon Freestonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08887558496666974712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2078555944130693773.post-46729107155168311782010-09-16T06:41:56.178-06:002010-09-16T06:41:56.178-06:00I was also going to comment on the New Era's d...I was also going to comment on the <i>New Era</i>'s decision to publish this in September when high school prom typically falls in early spring, but then I realized that if a guy was willing to hire an entire marching band to ask a girl out, he'd be the type of guy to ask the girl out six months in advance!Arie Van De Graaffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12170926603517840899noreply@blogger.com
