My iPod is an integral part of my life in that it keeps the grating monotony of my job at a minimum ( Maybe 'Apple' will see this and offer to buy my webcomic as a marketing tool, and it will become "APPLE presents, 'Epic Tales of the Mundane' ) .
If you wanna listen to what made me bawl, just listen the 3rd act ("Potus Operandi") of the This American Life episode titled '2010'. But, I guess if you aren't pregnant and or don't have a wife who is, you'll just shrug your shoulders and call me a pussy.
Besides being part of this strip's dialog, 'All Grown Up' is also a song by FYP, which was my favorite band when I was in high school. The song isn't on the myspace account, but here they are, regardless.
The way I wrote this strip, it makes it sound like Yami was drunk, but really this is horribly complicated story involving multiple drunk people riding in his car; These are the shortcuts I take when trying to cram something into 3 or 4 panels!
I really do like "Talk of the Nation", but y'know, the subject matter is sometimes hit-and-miss for me. I'll tell you, though, the first podcast I listen to each week is "Tom vs. the Flash", because its hilarious.
Oh yeah, I just realized that its spelled N-E-A-L Conan, not the way I wrote it in the strip. Oh well, just another thing I'll have to correct for the print version.
