Title: 03/23/2012 [PF #201] - Damned if you do and if you don't
Post by: justacritic on March 23, 2012, 09:11:20 AM
Merlin's line art seems thinner, not that's a bad thing.

I wonder if in the world of Project Future, lollipops become the equivalent of a meme in that world due to Daryil.

Also is this labeled correctly?

Ah, paranoia.  Such fun to watch their tiny little minds disintegrating, and you don't even have to do anything, do you, Daryil?  They do it all to themselves...  [*insert malevolent chuckle here*]

Other than the date being an horrific USA-nian Abomination in the Eyes of Man and The Lord, I think you're about right. ;-]


... want a lollipop?

US measurements are so horrid just to spite the rest of the world OFC, I mean why else would they use a different system?

I love Daryil's insanity, he is weird yet harmless and he works at being harmless while having fun being weird. 
I also love Keaton's paranoia, only she can make a kind gesture seem like a sinister plot.
Glad to see the comic back on track.

If anyone can punish Keaton without doing anything of the punishing nature, it would be Daryil. Getting a lollipop for attempted murder just sounds odd.

Though knowing Daryil's nature, he might eventually get annoyed with this train of thought Keaton is having. I wonder how long until he totally derails it?

So we could be different, I suppose.  Though it is easier to convert measurements in a metric system than it is ours.

The US military does the Day/Month/Year thing like the rest of the world, but I do find the month/Day/year easier to read.



I guess Daryil knows how paranoid she is and is playing mind tricks on her.  And he looks like he is tip toeing away in panel 6.

No, I don't think he'll get bored with Keaton's paranoidness, and he'll play along with it for a while before he decides to let her know the truth.

It's funny, but the sad thing is that would be me if I were in that situation. Paranoia's not fuuun.

Also, am I the only one who finds Merlin's style to give the characters a better sense of facial expression? It could be just me.

Personally I'm a fan of YYYY/MM/DD.  It sorts automatically...

That's usually how I sort files on my hard drive if I think I need to, such as something that usually requires to be in a sequence.  YYYYMMDD

I was told that the military style of writing a date was two digit day of month followed by first three letters of the month followed by last two digits of the year (http://www.armystudyguide.com/content/Prep_For_Basic_Training/Prep_for_basic_general_information/making-sense-of-military--2.shtml)

yyyy/mm/dd and yyyymmdd are the ISO format.

I use yyyy-mm-dd for files that need to be sorted, dd/mm/yy or dd/mm/yyyy for writing dates.

Are you kidding?! I've already had like five. :D


I noticed that Daryil's third wings aren't visible, does he prefer to keep them hidden like Fa'Lina chooses to?

Pretty much, yes.  His attitude is to try and carry on largely how things were before, which is also why he's not gone all macro like Cyra, for example.
