This is truly the essence of Nerd Boy. This is just the sort of thing that he does. I've managed to
capture everything that Nerd Boy is in a single strip. Aren't I great? Just a little bit great? Not
even a wee bit? OK, fine! Whatever!

This is based on a real story, and believe it or not, Nerd Boy's lines are not based on what I said
IRL, Fan Boy's lines are. Nerd Boy's lines were inspired by someone else, someone as nerdy, if not
nerdier, than me... OooOOooOoh... Skeh-ri stoh-ri.

Well, I went and saw Lord of

And no, I haven't read Lord of the Rings. The first book kind of bored me. It's not the actual
length of it, I've read longer books or series of books, I think it just didn't grip me. I didn't
find it interesting enough. Don't get me wrong though, I did think it was good, just not very
immersive.

Nerd Boy, I think That's what you said yesterday, and
a UFO landed right it was just a cyberbeing from another
outside our door. `,,, _ , dimension, remember? Anyway,

How's that for a weird strip? Someone complained that the strips didn't have enough art. More
specifically, the strips could be viewed in variable width font and the joke would still be
apparent. So I started diddling, and it ended up looking like a b'ger alien. Who'da thunk it.

Well, what would -you- call an alien? Gender-neutral "ve", "vim", "ver"? That might work. Wonder why
Nerd Boy didn't think about that. :\

Just establishing plot stuff. Not very funny. That tends to happen when you have plot. Damn that
plot, always ruining my funny. My funny goes sour when plot passes by. Evil eye and all that. Stupid
plot.

I like how the third panel came out. Nerd Boy is really stacked with stuff. Tried to draw the alien
in 3/4 view. I'm not as pleased with that.
