hehe, nice package notice. :)

I dunno why, it just makes me giggle. (maybe because I think I can almost make out what it says? 'you've got a package' in lol speak?)

Yes, that's exactly what it says! I'm no linguist, but I wanted their language to look different. It's just sort of a mishmash of Greek letters, modern US alphabet, and a few I made up. And it's completely phonetic(that's the way I learned to read so it makes the most sense to me), you just put the letters together to make the sounds and words you want. I wish I was better at this sort of thing, I've seen people do some pretty cool shit with made up languages.

I thought this was a cute touch too. I've played around with alternate alphabets, alien alphabets, and artificial languages for a while now -- haven't done anything nearly as impressive as some 'conlangers' out there.

One of my old mainstays, 'Ghaaunthonian Standard', also has a script system. I used to know it by heart but haven't used it in a while.

A current ambitious project I've worked on now and then is an entirely pictographic language (like Chinese) called 'Ancient Draconic'. The language itself I kinda swiped from a D&D manual however I've been expanding it because it's missing some really important words -- for instance a word for 'breath weapon'. My added word is 'halavent' which is a variation of an already established word 'svent' (arrow).

BTW .. long time fan of the comic here.

I like the idea of a pictographic language, especially in a world of mulitspecies intelligent animals. As they evolved, all of them would have had different abilities of vocalization, so a pictographic language would have made more sense. Glad you're enjoying the comic, cute icon too. ^.^

Yeah, and thanks for mentioning it.

Great care package indeed.

Nice to see her as well.

She's too cool not to bring back.

I'm glad she's back.

Hahaha
Why can't I ever get a care package like that? Better than homemade cookies am I right?

Yeah, much better than cookies, Top Ramen, and Chef Boy R D.

Screw the beer - give me the cookies!!

Heeeeelllll no
MINE!

DUDE! I wish someone would have sent me 4 crates of beer when I was in college! O.O

Me too!

That'd have made things so much more fun.

awesome! more booze!

More is always good.

lol, really love the pic on the first pannel came out great, has a very natural feel to it

Thanks!

Great as allways
though it's bit hard to understand what she says, when speaking english as second language only (this is to say: translation please)

Nimsha will be in the next few pages, if she says anything that you don't understand, let me know and I'll translate the best I can.

4 crates of beer and his dad is a brewer?

Yessir, Chucky's dad is a brewer. I don't have the page posted here because I wasn't on FA yet, but here's where it's referenced first.

wee
it's even more fun knowing the whole story
can't wait for next page

also, when i said she, i ment ty. Since i haven't seen him before (or at least can't remember to), i thought he was a girl.

Oh! I thought you were actually referring to Nimsha. It's all good, Ty has some of that hotness too.

With care packages like that, Chucky's either gonna get very popular or in a lot of trouble...

The line between popularity and harassment will be blurred.

Not much of a surprise there. Too much of a good thing!

Fuck yes! I wish my parents would send me beer if I ever lived in a dorm. XD

I think that's what EVERYONE would like.

I knew you'd be happy to see her.

i wonder who'll send me beer for my 21st B-day

If you lived in Chucky's society, you wouldn't have to wait for your 21st birthday.

sweet. also, love seeing Nimsha back

Heh, Jenny's going to be asking him about that bruise! Hey, Nimsha's back!

Am I that predictable?

damn you chucky.. you sucked me in

I thought I sucked you in back in 2002. Happy to suck again. XD

I hope I am not a crotch.

I love the photograph in the first panel, you did an awesome job with the poses and the graininess, I must say.

Thanks for the kind words, you don't strike me as a crotch.

a great adventure deserves to be remembered.

Beeeeeeeeah. I totally love how you represent all the different accents in your comic. I can hear the characters talking in my head really. Seems like Chucky is going to be even more popular if the rest of the dorm finds out whats in those crates X3

Heh heh, that could be a chapter all in itself.

Kev might be a crotch at times, I would imagine, though he's totally grope-able. He might make for an interesting side story if you ever finish the story with Chucky.

LOL yes, Kev definitely counts as a crotch.

Heh, seems like a few embers are building between Chuck and Adam. Who knows, might become a full on bromance... or more.

Bromance, I love that word.

Nimsha's back! and her front is even better!

Better as in better drawn, or bigger cup size? ;)

Better as in her back is nice but her front is even nicer. Playing off the back as in her reappearance in the strip.

Ah, her back! Don't worry, there will be more of it. ;)

I agree with Chucky. That is a cool picture.
And beer care package ftw.

Let's hope that Chucky doesn't find out too soon what Adam means by that... >.>

I'd go for four crates of cookies. =^.^=

SUGAR SUGAR SUGAR!!!

Ooooh care packages are the best part of the college.

My mom forgot about care packages about 6 months into freshman year.

That is when you remind them and be like 'Oh man, I could really use a toothbrush and tuna' *sobs*
