the comic

so i was going to post about this on friday, but then the law weekly had not uploaded their most recent edition online, and now it is sunday, and i guess they are never going to do so, so i am afraid that you do not have the visual, and i apologize. but for those of you at UVA, particularly those of you who know lexi and i (which is about all that reads this, i think), i am sure you could hardly miss the "mel the 3L" this week in which the two of us got our shout-out. which probably explains why we each had about 40 extra hits on friday, and then our readership dropped down to its normal levels yesterday. alas, we did not capture a new audience.

first of all, we liked josh's accurate portrayal of us--lexi got a martini and a flat chest (sorry hon, but it's true.) i changed my line in panel 5 so that i am going to check on my 30 other bids, which as you know if you either know me or read this after PILA, well that is all too accurate. (it was my suggestion. he initially had me going to the bar. not that that would not be an accurate representation either.) and i liked that sometimes josh departed from reality--i got a really nice rack. which was truly multiple people's first comment upon looking at the strip. hurrah for animation!

anyways, a number of people seem not to get it, and josh had to explain it to lexi and i, so here is the explanation--in panel 3 she says she isn't sure she wants to be drawn. and then in panel 4, i go into this whole spiel about how he couldn't draw her that ugly for various reasons. and then in the final panel, she looks like frankenstein. not even the bride of frankenstein. frankenstein himself. tho josh did remove the hairs from her chin, which were probably my favorite part of the draft we were sent.

anyways, i'll upload it if the law weekly staff ever puts it online.

in the meantime, i feel bad for having left you w/o entertaining commentary for so long, and so i leave you with this--

yes, i realize that when most people put amusing things on their blogs, they put pictures/videos that have been passed all around the internet and approved of as funny by millions of people. and i opt to put a picture of myself that makes me look, well i apologize but there is really no better way to put it, at least slightly mentally challenged.

but the point is that if you are worried about what finals are doing to you, well you should be far more concerned about what feb club may do to you.

God, I love that picture! It is the best.

And I'm sad we don't have any more vistitors. I got a lot of people looking for "Lexi Barely Legal" yesterday.

OK, Paying attention.

A little more than "slightly."

I mean that in the most affectionate way possible of course.
