Evens are Odds: February 2016

#SquadGoals

TEDDY: "...Yeah, I'm on board: It sounds fun! You should call in THE GANG." ~ ALLISON: "Hold up- We have a gang now? Who exactly am I meant to be calling?" TEDDY: "Damn, I was hoping you'd have some ideas..."

Sometimes I wonder why I don't have more friends...

...and then I remember that I'm currently writing this with marginal mental capacity, seeing as I only got about an hour and a half sleep last night since the last 30 hours or so have been otherwise devoted to studio...

Spin II

TEDDY: "They say a good interview tactic is to try to present your weaknesses in a positive light. That sounds like a real thing, right? As opposed to, say, a catchy bit of exposition I basically just made up to set up the gag in this comic?" *Resume reading* "Skills/Talents: Burning Bridges"

"I don't just burn bridges; when comes to bridges, I'm a veritable demolition expert!" he says, enthusiastically...

...Ok, look: There's a lot of things I'm good at, but socialing is not one of them...

Return

TEDDY: "So I'm giving you this marshmallow now: It's yours, you can eat it RIGHT NOW. BUT if WAIT 15 minutes, I'll give you another one: You'll have 2 MARSHMALLOWS." ~ TEDDY: "So the idea is that it tests control of "deferred gratification." Obviously it makes sense to wait, but young children, it seems, have yet to develop the ability to deny the immediate realization of the lesser reward..." ~ KID: *thinking* "Let's see, basically this is a FINANCIAL PROBLEM: What I have to ask, is the FUTURE VALUE of 2 marshmallows really worth more than the PRESENT VALUE of 1? If I weigh caloric potential -vs- the inherent risks..." ~ TEDDY & KID concurrently: *as kid eats marshmallow* "Sucker!.."

Now there's a kid confident in his future marshmallow investment opportunities...

Pick-Up

MARK: *to MacGirl at bar "Hey girl! Is your spirit animal a jaguar? 'Cause if takes a lot to break me out of my shell, but I think you might have it in you..."

...Based, of course, on the well known tidbit of common knowledge that Jaguars have the strongest bite force of all the cats? Famously capable of splitting open a turtle's shell? Just like everybody knows, off the top of their head?.. Right?
...
Right?

...

...Ok, again, just, like, SO sleep deprived, alright?..
....

Differences

ALLISON: *thinking* "I wonder what HE's thinking right now..." TEDDY: *thinking* "*'Pirates of the Caribbean' theme on loop*"

Yeah, yeah, but hey it's the big graduation this semester, so there's only a limited number of vaguely-coherent, sleep-deprived-crit comics left!..
