| | trevoramueller | I had been battling for months trying to figure out what job I wanted Susie to have (yes, I'm that far ahead in my writing, just not in my art), and I had it down to two options: a video store so I could make fun of movies, or a coffee shop. I started bouncing ideas off from friends, and ultimately we agreed that Susie is the ultimate emo kids - she BELONGS in a coffee place. But I didn't just want to limit her to coffee, so I made it a coffee shop and cyber cafe.
Then I had another hurtle to overcome: did I even want to show the interview?
I mean, I already went through the interview questions with Trevor, and Susie failed them...how would she react to this situation, get the job, AND be funny about it.
Then it hit me...and you have it here before you! Part two next week!
PS: Having gotten feedback from many readers about how difficult it is to read viner hand MT, I decided to have Susie give a little cough and switch her font to the same that everyone else uses. I hope it's easier to read now. -Posted on Jan 12, 2008 |
| User: Rutger | | 5 | | Nice. -Posted on Jan 18, 2008 | | User: trevoramueller | | | | antcomics: Thanks for the compliment, and for reading. I've been checking out your feedback throughout the archives periodically. I'm glad you like the comic! :D -Posted on Jan 14, 2008 | | User: antcomics | | 5 | | Wow, you have a nice comic here...I need to read through. I been meaning to come over here and look!! :) -Posted on Jan 14, 2008 | | User: trevoramueller | | | seventy2: You also quoted Temple of Doom when you applied for a job? :P Honestly, I wrestled with how she was going to get this job, but ultimately it came down to her personality - she wouldn't go through the motions, she'd do what was natural to her - threaten and kill! :D
GTLB: Hell's yeah. I'm in the process of trying that myself, but for a promotion.
crocty: Thanks, I was trying to figure out a good time / way to change her font to something more readible. Also, it helps that I don't have to change fonts everytime I have her talk - now I just have to change the text and balloon color.
amanda: Thanks, I was thinking about that one for a while - I think that a coffee shop and cyber cafe will allow her to talk about the same things that she would at a video store and more - like news, politics, whatever may be worth mentioning.
Short_Circuiting: Oh, just you wait...her plan is almost foolproof!
ShinGen: Welcome back, buddy! Thanks for the compliment, I'm always trying to top myself in terms of writing the next big story arc (which I tend to do better than the stand-alone pages, I think). I do have a few in the pipeline that may be stinkers, but they're funny in my head and hopefully will be for everyone else as well.
harryq: Thanks for reading! -Posted on Jan 14, 2008 | | User: harryq | | 5 | -Posted on Jan 12, 2008 | | User: ShinGen | | 5 | | LOL! This is my favorite page yet. This interview storyline is turning out to be even better than the last storyline. I kinda wish I was here for the fill in the blank contest though. =( Oh well either way it was fun catching up on this and I gotta say you've improved since I last saw it. great work Trevor! Time to head over to Temple now. -Posted on Jan 12, 2008 | | User: Short_Circuiting | | 5 | | i believe that would be in instant fail. xD -Posted on Jan 12, 2008 | | User: amanda | | 5 | | Yes - she will be a good match in a coffee shop - excellent choice! -Posted on Jan 12, 2008 | | User: crocty | | 5 | That was really funny!
And the font change over the cough was REALLY clever! -Posted on Jan 12, 2008 | | User: GTLB | | 5 | | Thats one way to get a job.. kill the boss and take over! -Posted on Jan 12, 2008 | | User: seventy2 | | 5 | hmmmm....i think the anti dote makes her over qualified....
trust me...they didnt let me have my first job after that... -Posted on Jan 12, 2008 | Only registered members may vote. Sign up here! | |
