Plywood: Training Jon, Part 2

Originally published August, 2005.

Commentary:

Before, we were experimenting with camera angles and various poses; I believe this strip begins our foray into facial expression. Having plain ol' slider shapes and skins for everyone made this a little easier to mod, and shows you exactly how long ago this was; skins were still prohibitively expensive, and most of them that weren't looked like utter crap. Same with custom shapes, though they weren't as popular then as they seem to be now (were used mainly for novelty).

The guy in the window still cracks me up. Non sequitur & entertaining.

I have no idea what the shock collar was, or how it was supposed to work. It was just one of the little fantasy elements that crept into Plywood. We freely drifted from Second Life to real life to outright impossibility in both worlds. I suppose it seemed like a good idea at the time. Never let a little thing like reality interfere with a good story!
