That was a fun issue to write, although I struggled to get it finished in time. Forcing myself to sit down and write is never easy, when there’s so much mindless junk I can be doing (Thank you internet).
I really wanted to show off the difference between the two couples, as well as just write a fun issue about my favourite holiday. Kevin and Katie are supposed to be your standard high school sweethearts, Kevin going to all this trouble to make her happy, and the two of them waited to sleep together until the right moment. Matt and Hannah on the other hand, are having fun, they’ve been sleeping together for a while, they don’t get to spend a lot of time together, so they’re not quite as close as the others. And they are also a high-profile super-couple, hence them going out in costume and enjoying their night.
Thanks for the comments again Mich and Maedel (Hehe, M’n'M), I love feedback, and I’m glad you guys seemed to enjoy this issue as much as I did. The suggestions for Pixel were good, but I’m kind of trying to keep a certain amount of innocence in the character. She’s a year younger, so she’s like a little sister, and she’s so bright and cheerful, in contrast to the seriousness around her. I’m sure I’ll find a voice for her, or I’ll let her fade into the background a bit (a bit more, I guess).
A note on the world: I decided Nymphette (Of the (West Coast) Boomers) had a water-based powerset, after just leaving her as a name when I introduced her.
One more thing, anyone who doesn’t read the main site, the first issue of LessThanThree Comics Presents has been posted. Shadows Over Los Angeles Issue #001 is about The Shadow, as mentioned in my previous Author’s Notes. One thing, the blog is separate to this one, so you’ll have to create a new profile if you want to comment. There’s a link to the page on the right menu of this page (and every page, except <3 Presents itself. Of course).
Later Days,
