New Smithson!
A day or two late, but most certainly not a dollar short:

Jenn Manley Lee has an amazing Dicebox process journal over thisaways. Ever since I discovered it, I've been awed and inspired by the creative effort she puts into plotting the story arcs, working out the characters, and developing a rich language of symbols and references for her fictional universe. In fact, I was so inspired that I decided to start keeping similar notes for Smithson. Two months later, this is the entirety of my notes file:


Booger’s T-shirts in “Revenge of the Nerds”:

HIGH ON STRESS
GREASY TONY’S
Gimme head ‘til I’m dead


Thing is, this will totally come in handy down the line.

But is it a comprehensive list, or is that just where you stopped?

Oh, and way to continue to ramp up the creepiness in Smithson, by the by.

Hey Shaenon- today's strip is fantastic. I love the way you did the computer screen look. It's also plot-fantastic, too! Well done!

Thanks for the link to the working journal for Dicebox! I love that comic so much, and I love working journals like that as well.

I'm stunned by today's Narbonic, by the way. Which... isn't that unusual since it's Narbonic. ;) Thanks. Smithson continues to be ooooooooooh! as well.

Excellent comic today. It does a really good job of showing off the horror elements while keeping the tone remarkably ... hmm ... collegiate.
