Manitoba – This Time It’s Personal
all I wanted to know was the version number
This comic marks the first appearance of tiny, circular eyes. I have an impolite name for that style of eye but suffice it to say that they are almost always reserved for jerks or idiots. Something about them suggests a certain…simple-mindedness. I’m not sure how I settled on that idea but I have been drawing stick-people for years before the comic started.
Since we’re talking about this comic, I’ll also add that the Wal-Mart sales guy looks like a character from the old cartoon “Stickin’ Around”. [April 25, 2011]

Yup, I applied at the local Staples (an office supply store) just before it opened. Not getting that job seems like a pivotal moment in my life, and sometimes I try to imagine how different everything might be for me now.
Maybe there is a Nathan in an alternate universe who never grew that awful moustache, got that job and is now living an entirely unrecognizable life. I say to that Nathan: Sorry dude, I’m definitely better off. Unless you’ve got an iPad, those things are boss. [May 20, 2011]
