Yay! The new Yearbook is finished! I'm way more excited about it than you are. :)

I wrote this strip some time ago, and since then I've kinda dreaded it because I knew it was going to take some work. I mean more work than the usual guys standing around and being smart asses. I kept rearranging the shot angles in my head trying the maximize the readability and funny-ness. It wasn't until early this week that I finally decided upon the layout you see above. Damn. who knew funnies were so complicate?

I love this strip because as a kid, the monkey bars were always the bane of my playground existence. While I wasn't quite "chubby" per se, I did have a tummy. That coupled with absolutely NO upper body strength made things like the monkey bars or the rings you swing from a physical impossibility! So bothered was I that a few years ago, I returned to my childhood playground and vindicated myself by completing those monkey bars. Sure I was now tall enough to touch the ground while I did them, but whatever. Vindication is vindication.

Anyhoo, enjoy the strip, friends! Part 8 (the final flashback) will be up next week with a goofy finale and you won't wanna miss that. Thanks for reading!
