It's stick figures, after all. All I really expect is straight lines, circle-heads that are actually somewhat circular, maybe some consistency in character depiction...

Much like anyone would do on the way to a date, they started talking: I find it hard to believe anyone would be silent on the way. So he's talking to her and he jokes about being psychic- She is not permanently in shock, just for the moment because to her he had just read her mind. The reason he says "let's go to the movie" is because she had become distracted by his impressive display of psychic...nes<br /><br />That makes sense.<br /><br />Also for the 1% thing, it's the only way you can put a joke in there. He knew it was fake math, but for the average know nothing reader it was an entertaining little bit and it worked well enough for the plot. <br /><br />I don't know if this was brought up yet, as I don't have time to read all of the comments, so if it has think of it as emphasis.Didymus Willowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12996687109858053686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-58291003027005785732009-08-28T11:26:20.129-07:002009-08-28T11:26:20.129-07:00@COVIZAPIBETEFOKY:
