News You Can Bruise for 2001 April 24

I was wondering when this was going to happen.

There is an anime-inspired comic convention whereby nervous comic strip characters produce enormous drops of sweat in the vicinity of their heads. I wrote to Kris telling him I thought it would be a good idea to do a comic in which this was exploited as a water source. His reply:

A similar convention is taking place, where many innocent, virginal gawky male anime characters are exposed to girls hitting on them, winking at them, etc., and the gallons of blood rocketing out of their noses are collected and sent to the Red Cross.

I think he misunderstood my usage of the word "convention", but still, what a snappy comeback!
