**Delos Woodruff over at Art Patient gave DEAD DAYS a pretty bitchin' webcomic review! Click this [link] to check it out!**

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!

Accursed monkey bars, indeed.

I reently went back to my old elementary school, and those things were at forehead level.

Sure, I'm abnormally tall, but it still made me feel like I blew things out of proportion.

Monkeys gained my respect after I failed at the monkey bars.

I didn't have problems with monkeybars, but several years ago while I was babysitting some kids at a local playground, I had realized that I just couldn't swing around as well anymore. =(

We don't love "because", but "despite".

This is why there is no such thing as perfect. A flawless beauty would be blank without any appeal nor character. Its scars are what defines it and what inspires emotion... from that moment, it becomes art.

*laughs* That's great! When I was a kid it completely threw me whenever I saw someone actually make it across those things. I'd always thought monkey bars were some impossible torture device the teachers used to mess with our heads. :P

I'm thinking of a number between one and ten, and I don't know why.
