It used to be that those who dated online were people who were sort of on the fringes of society. Nowadays, it’s much more mainstream. It’s common to find your everyday person with a profile on one of more dating websites. It’s no longer the case that you expect to run into weirdoes online (though they are still out there!), but you’ll find regular people there too. The way I see it, it’s hard enough meeting somebody these days. Online dating is just another tool to help increase your chances of meeting that special someone. But, just like conventional dating methods, quality can vary!
I tried something different with the third panel, where Tim’s had extends beyond the border. I wanted to do away with the third border all together. But then I wasn’t sure what do with the bottom since you only see Riley and Tim from the waist up. I figured I would still need some sort of line to delineate the bottom of art. So…I kept the border and extended Tim’s hand over it. I’m not sure if it completely works. Hmmm…what do you think?
awesome strip this week! love the background art, the painting hangin on the wall really pops out, and of course the hand extending. it really gave it a 3D effect that fits with the dialogue.
as for having no borders at all on the third panel, i actually run into the same situation. because we have full length body characters, it seems a bit awkward to cut them off at the waist line. alas, that’s what i do though! i just have the border line cutting them off and no border for the rest of the panel. what do you think?
Nice!
