#443 – spotting
Posted on February 22, 2011 by meredith
Eek! More snow? I didn't ask for this. Comments are back because so many people asked nicely. I'm trying out a different system with comment-voting and such, but the old comments will be preserved as well. Please be cool and polite!

    Hey, comments exist! Let's try it again.

  2. rikushix

    In the entire history of the strip, the last panel is probably the happiest I've seen Eve.

    1. Emir

      My thoughts exatly. 🙂

    2. juria

      and it is sooo cute

    3. Sebastian

      It's really wonderful, isn't it?

  3. tortillamobster

    *ehem* As is the custom. First.

  4. AL

    Posting a comment about the comments about comments aboutgughghahgh

    (seriously this format seems to be better than before. Good job)

  5. Aube

    Is it strange going from drawing tons of city scape to doing Mountains and hills?

    1. granulac

      Not too strange. I can be a little more lax about perspective with non-building stuff, but the layouts end up being the same kind of challenge.

    has Eve been getting into Hanna's "goods"? or is she super drunk?

    1. Nick

      pretty sure she`s drunk. Notice her cheeks since she struck that deal with Jacob and came through for him (sorta).

      PS: Meredith, I didn`t get to ask you to be my valentine because of the closed comments! That can either be regarded as unfortunate timing or a tactful move on your part.

      1. Colleen

        I don't think she's drunk. This is the next morning. I think she's just cold!

        1. juria

          yeah, I think she's just finally relaxed being away from all her friend drama.

    2. juria

      wait, sorry, scratch that last comment of mine, I think in panel two that eve is totally pouring something out of a flask into her coffee.

      1. Colleen

        Oops! Yup. I think you're right!

    Even if it's just for this page, it's cool to see Eve happy. <3

    Also, Jack of Beards is my new favorite character.

    1. herpderp

      She's not genuinely happy though, she's drunk happy! After the inebriation wars off she will be unhappy, and also hungover which tents do make people less happy too.

  8. Martin

    Your line work has really softened up. It looks great. 🙂

  9. Charmander

    I hope the poor lass doesn't end up violated by that bearded dragon.

  10. Becky

    Aww! Happy Eve reminds me that the world ain't always so bad.

  11. Tiffany

    <3

  12. DARIN OH MY GOODNESS

    EVE NING
    EVENING
    HOW DID I NEVER GET THAT?

    1. Lau

      Eeeyep. Also, her mom's name is Dawn and her brother's name is Rushmore (Mor for short).

      1. dood

        Mind = blown. I thought I had it all figured out when I realized Eve's name-pun.

    2. Aves Project Ideas

      AND Eve is short for Everest.
      Her brother and her are both mountains and they are "More Ning" and "Eve Ning"; there are layers to these names, man, CRAZY LAYERS.

  13. Lau

    Dude. Beardyguy is kind of adorable. I hope he sticks around.
    … I dunno if his facial hair could ever be allowed in the same room as Marek's without instigating some kind of follicopocalypse, though. This causes problems.

    1. Pick

      follicopocalypse is my new favourite word.

  14. beyla

    Scaling or something makes the strip blurry on the main page but crystal clear right here. I'm using SRWare Iron if that is important at all.

  15. mike baker

    Well, so far, "Ugly" Jack seems sweet. When does he get ugly?

    Beautiful story-telling here.

    1. Snakewich

      When he shaves his beard 😉

    2. krider1991

      Maybe it's one of those opposite nicknames deals, like calling a fat guy "Slim," or a tall guy "Shorty."

  16. Rimas

    Wow, ever since Eve started drinking, the transitions are non-existent, there's no clear transition of events between strips and Jane juggled her drink on the strip before this!

    I am totally enjoying this perspective of things. B)

  17. Bluebell

    I've been wondering why Eve's cheeks have been dran with the ellipses on them as of late. Are they pink because she's cold?
    Also: Sunrise+Coffee+Whiskey= Best start to a day ever.

    1. Steve B.

      I believe her cheeks are flushed because she's been hitting the sauce pretty hard.

      1. Bluebell

        whoops. didn't think of that

    2. Phasma Felis

      I think they're pink with drink.

      1. @absoluteunknown

        Or perhaps she's wearing zinc.

    3. spensei

      Let's not forget that she's asian. Pink = drink

  18. Asia

    i have just now FINALLY for the first time caught up on this comic. NOW when i see you at a con I won’t be too bashful to say hi because i am afraid you will stare into my soul and see that i have not read the latest story arc. THIS TIME

  19. Preston

    Jackof Beards seems cool but I will always miss Park.

  20. @meekgrr

    Aww, I like beardguy. He's a sweetie.

  21. BurntToShreds

    Eve's face in Panel is too cute.

  22. Kathleen

    please let her stay this happy for a while… I'm tired of complacent/mildly depressed feelings!

    1. Naomi

      I actually enjoy all of Eve's ups and downs. I f you compare her to the Eve she was when she firs met Hanna, she's grown a lot. I feel like she's got a lot of depth.

  23. @fulminathan

    I'm really diggin' the comic lately. I always do, but this current arc is really nice so far.

  24. Fayerocksmysocks

    I would put fluffy snow mountain in my pocket if I could too.. I love this comic it makes me so happy O_O

  25. Static Air

    Happy Eve makes me Happy. Also, Eve's mood strangely matches mine this morning. All is right with the world.

  26. Static Air

    Also, thank you, Meredith, for bringing the comments back!

  27. Naomi

    <3 Eve is just precious when she lets loose.

  28. getkraken

    I want Jack to be in this comic FOREVER. He and Eve make such good buddies!

  29. Minz

    Awww Eve looks so happy and content lying down in the snow. Also I like this Jack guy. He seems like an upstanding fellow.

  30. Alain

    But, but, but, she’s got such great balance when she’s on ice skates!

  31. Damn ants!

    I got a bad feeling about this. :I

  32. cancerCowboy

    Is Jack of Beards Justin Vernon? I really think he's Justin Vernon. http://lifemadefiction.files.wordpress.com/2010/0…

  33. Mayday

    Noooo Eve don't go to sleep in the cold nooooooooo

    Yay, I missed comments. 0u0

  34. Dope_Danny

    drunk Eve is kinda adorable.

  35. Sara

    No complaining about the snow! We only get snow like this in Oregon once a year! You're making it MELT!

  36. @arthurjplant

    There's something wonderfully genuinely pleasant about all of this. There's nought finer then getting hammered on a good vibe.

  37. wykstrad

    I've never really understood why people tend to compare Meredith Gran to Bryan Lee O'Malley (in my opinion, they're both brilliant and very different cartoonists), but panel 5 does have a bit of a Scott Pilgrim energy to it.

  38. elly

    this is by far my most favourite strip you have done.
    saved it and everythiiiing

  39. Shras

    Eve is still totally drunk, lol. Drunk snowboarding! It looks like she just wants to fall asleep right there in the snow in that last panel.
