  1. (1) Ah, the magic of Photoshop and a little tonal adjusting. Also, very, very subtle sharpening of your image in the second and third photos while leaving the backgrounds alone. Couldn’t resist. I’m a madwoman when it comes to graphics software. Hoped you wouldn’t mind.

  2. Woah, awesome! In the second pic, Grant, what are you doing? (I don’t know much about that kind of stuff…) It looks fun :)
    And the comics are flamablamalous. (and, agreed about the bunnies.)

  3. No, not at all! I always thought that photo was too dark!

    In the 2nd photograph, I’m standing atop a thirty-foot pole, about to jump off and grab a hanging trapeze bar. I made it. In the third, I’m watching someone else do the same. In the first, I’m at the WWII memorial during our Washington at Night tour.

    The conference was one of the most fun things I’ve done in my life. I attended lectures, did simulations like a mock U.N. security council, and visited various locations, such as the U.S. State Dept. and the Turkish Embassy, where it smelled powerfully of cinnamon and had very nice hardwood floors. I suppose I’ll send more.

    That sketch of Urania is exquisite! I think it rather flatters her.

  4. Cool! Looks fun, Grant. (Or should I call you Ultimate Supreme Executive Chairman Grant O.? It seems a little long.)

    Very nice, Kagy! I like the second one. Very clever.

  13. Grant is less patient. And everyone has commented on my age, not my looks. I’ll just assume that no news is good news. I’m feeling slightly insecure.

  14. Ebeth thinks grant is schmexay-hawt, for the sake of his self-esteem. (jk) (about the self-esteem bit) (or AM I???) (bwahaha, feel the insecurity) (jk again) (maaaybe) :D

  15. 23~ You look fine. How old are you? I’m guessing, umm, 16? 17? I don’t know. I’m bad at telling age. You can stop feeling insecure, by the way. It’s unnessisary.

  16. Eep. I didn’t see Alice’s comment when I typed that! Scary, Alice, I wasn’t plagerising, really! We think too much alike sometimes, I think.

  17. That’s great for his self-esteem…”Oh sorry, you’re reassuring him? ok, i didn’t really need to then, he’s stopped feeling insecure so all we have to do now is avoid telling him that he’s the ugliest person ever…wait, am i still typing this? darn…CUT! CUT!”

    I’m totally making this up btw, i’m sure nobody in their right mind would ever think such things. :D

  19. 29- commenting on your age, sorry. Hey cool! Someone else who’s my age! ‘kay, done. Since you insist, you don’t look bad. I just don’t normally comment on others’ looks. But I’m glad there’s another person my age here!

  20. Hurray! it’s comforting to know that some people here have lives…makes up for my lack of one.
    You mave already answered this, but what exactly is the object of this student leadership conference?
    I am liking the bunny drawing. It is bubbly and amusing.

  25. Kagcomix, you’ve captured hot-pink bunnies to perfection. The final panel is the most horrifying thing I’ve seen since the movie Alien.

  26. 45 ~ :’D That almost made me cry with joy. Such wonderful expression of that (or those?) which has meant so much to me for the past five years…I’m quite overcome. -cough:idea:cough-

  27. Yes, I am the one wearing the Trix shirt. People tend to love that shirt. In that one photo I’m drinking ginger ale with lime juice out of the side of my mouth because A. I’m thirsty (the name of that photo on my computer is thirstygrrr.jpg) and B. I’m trying to pay attention to the game of Blackjack in which I am partaking. Then in that other photo I’m the one leaning across the table with a cynical look on my face and glasses because I ran out of disposable contacts while I was there. In the one with the Washington monument I’m the one on the right. In the one below that I’m standing in the back. That one was my T.A. group. No idea what that stands for.

    43- Ta very much. That bunny cartoon is horrifying and awesome.

    GAPAs- Ta very much for posting those.

  29. Wow, Kagy, you’re an amazing artist. Just wondering, in the last panel of the latest one, do the bunnies pop out of a cupcake wrapper? :D

    Nice pics, Grant. On the contrary, I’m not jealous of you on that pole… eehscary!

  32. Very good. I wonder if I could scrounge up some pictures of me actually doing things other than MBing…. I hear I’m in the newspaper again. That was random. But I’ll have to ask Scott if he kept that, hmm.

    Great pics, guys! Kagy, you’re amazing!

  36. I think the one where I’m leaning across the table with the cynical look on my face. However, it’s difficult to tell, as my face is capable of many different appearances from different angles and in different moods. But I think it would be that one, as it’s one of the only ones where I’m not hot and bothered or have done disheveling things. In the one with the Washington monument I forgot to tilt my head forward as I usually do in photos, because I’m having such a great time and it’s not that important.

  37. Hmm, okay. I was just wondering, since you actually look like several different people in the different pictures. To me, anyway.

    I hate having my picture taken. Yuck, yuck yuck! Sorry. But I really don’t like having cameras stuck in my face. I always look like a total idiot. Maybe I am, but I just don’t like looking like one… My parents don’t have any pictures of me when I was little because I was such a brat about having my picture taken. That tells you something there.

  42. i just wanted to say that urania is so awesome that when my english teacher informed me that i had to research s greek god/goddess and said we may do other charcters mentioned in greek mythology i jumped at the chance and found out that poor urania had a sister who is rather like koko sometimes-a muse of flute playing.
