So im back to drawing now, its been a rather long time so it seems and i need to get back into the feel of things. Right now i still feeling the anxiety of a looming deadlines, which there is none. Its a mental block right now, that and laziness with a touch of neglect of more gamer side thats fallen off the wagon and as such i am now "indulging" in that addiction hehe. So ive been playing a lot of Mass Effect 3 multiplayer and the new Ghost Recon multiplayer beta. Which by the way is awesome. I do have a comic in the works, its basically done and hell technically i could post it but it looks like shit when its not done on the final paper i use. so no you all have to wait for the final copy. I have a few more that i need to also draw. The important thing is i have comic ideas that will eventually be drawn and once those are up ill be back in the rhythm so that's good. I just need to pull myself away from that damn game.
I was just going to mention some impossibility that crossed my mine about roundabouts, which I'm sure would be perfect fodder for your comic, seeing as you are aware of the potential problems a "roundabout virgin" might face.
Idea was based on 2 things:
1) a huge 2-lane roundabout I saw back on the East Coast that must have been a third of a mile across and connected 5 roads together.
2) contemplating the purpose of the left lane after I realized that only right exits exist once you're in a roundabout.
Idea:
Characters following instructions to get somewhere, Directions say "Head West on Road X at intersection".
Characters driving North, so they determine "West" means "Left".
Characters reach roundabout, with a sign saying "One Way" pointing right.
Characters enter roundabout and look for a left turn, not knowing what a roundabout is.
I suppose it just ends there, but imagine if after realizing that they kept seeing the same street names on the right, over and over, somehow... impossibly... just as they decide to get out on the right, a left turn finally appears!
Where the hell would that lead? Someone's house? The DMV? Xanth? Twilight Zone? Or the inception parody "A roundabout inside a roundabout"?
All of these made me laugh. Quietly, and in an empty room. Or rather, in a full room, just with no one I cared to share it with.
A wild left turn has appeared!
Do you wish to take it? [Y/N]
Gotcha! Driver took left turn!
Give left turn a nickname? [Y/N]

Lufthansa was sent to Driver's PC...
Just another funny thought that was in my head, caused by your VGCats pic. Damn, how long is this comment?
Final thought: exits exist - Hah! I have never written those words together before.
I honestly don't care if you use any of this, I just wanted to tell you because I thought it was funny.
