Description
Yes folks, I feel very short right now. This has mostly to do with the four guys you see here. They're all in my class, and they're all taller than me. XPLeft to right:
Cesar - a Hispanic guy and the shortest in the group (I couldn't walk under his chin without bumping it, unlike the others XP). He's amusing, usually playing M.U.G.E.N. or a ROM of an old NES game. And when the guy afficiating the game club mispronounced his name as "Cazar", I nearly ROFL'd. Expect to see a Cesar-Cazar some time in the future.
Justin - has a nack for annoying me, mostly on account of teasing me that I like Dane (
Dane - aka the Daneish, Great Dane, Captain Danish, our resident Viking, etc., etc., etc.. Dane has more name-puns than anyone, which makes him fun. He's also usually nicer to me than the other guys. He says the two of us could teach the 3D class better than our teacher. ...The scary thing is, I believe it.
Jason - hasn't really differentiated himself much. He's there, and I see him every day (he sits like two or three computers away, usually), but he doesn't seem to possess any really remarkable traits.
Myself - self explanitory. Me, short little me, staring at a sea of shoulderblades. The bottoms of them, no less. I think I'm the only girl who, upon finding herself behind four guys, notices the fact that she's so much shorter than them instead of checking out their butts. XP
Overly-chibi styles are fun. You can thank Keysha-chan for getting me started on the armless style. It's quick and easy, good for when you're feeling lazy but you want to do a comic.
And my peach pencil has gone kaput. So, I'm now attempting to do all skintones using a four-inch light brown. Funness.

LMFAO!! You have no idea what a coincidence this is. The day I saw this comic, I was feeling unusually short because of all my tall friends.
(Even though I'm almost 5'10" which is above average lol)
You're just like me in the fact that you have nothing to worry about. You just need to stop comparing your height with guys and start comparing it with other girls lol. You may be considered "average" by the national standard, but a lot of people lie about their heights. You're actually pretty tall for a girl. Guys are supposed to be taller, and it's a good thing that your guy friends are. Imagine hanging out with a bunch of shrimps. What kind of fun is that? (Take this from a cross country runner who is by far the biggest guy on the team. I have a tendency to hurt the other runners when they get in my way and it's annoying. lol)
btw, jekkal is right. Short girls are always cuter in my opinon. I've never dated a girl over 5'2" (Not technically my decison, though. It's just the way it's happened lol)

LOL, the funny thing is, I'm over the national average, but I don't see all the short women. The short women must all be hiding or something.
Or else they're in my yoga class. The girls in there mostly come in two varieties: large and small. Most of the tall girls have weight issues (not to be mean, but I'm talking medically-serious weight issues, not the "oh shoot, I just gained two pounds!" type), and then the skinny girls are all short. There's maybe one or two others who are built like me.
Yoga: the ultimate ego-booster.
I just feel like I got cheated on the height somewhere, as the growth charts predicted me to be at least as tall as my mom (she's 5'7"), and more likely as tall as you, around 5'10". I was always the tallest in my class in elementary school. Then I hit this thing called puberty. And it all went downhill. XP
People say short is good for girls, but what good is a lower average starting salary (don't deny it: short people notoriously get shorted on the dollars, too) and getting accused of having a Napolean complex when PMS hits? I'm still hoping my growth plates aren't totally closed off and I can get another inch or two out of myself - after all, even if I'm tall compared to girls, if I'm working in game design with a bunch of tall guys, I'll still feel like a grasshopper in the land of giants. XD

lol you don't see the short women because you can see right over their heads. You're pretty darn tall for a girl, but all this goes back to the fact that there is no reality, only perception. If you see yourself as short, you're short.
Yeah, I find that usually tall girls are either way too fat or way too skinny. My mom, on the other hand, is built just like you. She's about 5'8 1/2" and she's had a perfect weight all her life because she's a health nut.
Yeah, I feel like I've been cheated, too. The growth charts say I'm supposed to be somewhere between 6'1" and 6'3". But, of course, since I'm a 17 year old guy, I still have more growing to do. (I just hope I do like my dad and grow till I'm like 23.
Really? I didn't know short people got cheated like that; that sucks. Well, then, I'm prayin' for ya lol. You have nothing to worry about, though. With a mind like yours, you'll be a millionaire anyway.

I could be a millionaire without my mind, if Bill Gates got a little streak of charity in him...
And I must be missing those short girls...probably because I only see other girls every once in a while, and I don't have as much of the "close and personal" interaction with them, where height differences are more pronounced.
Either that, or I feel short because I slouch...I've been looking for a shoulder brace to make me sit up, but so far, all I find are lumbar supports and I'm sorry but it's not my lower back that gets the muscle cramps holding itself up. XP
Except for this one Internet site...need to order a shoulder brace from them. *nods*

lol Hey, it could happen.
Ah, so you spend more time with guys then? Makes sense I guess since your taking gaming classes. There aren't too many girls going into that profession are there?
Ah, yeah, I know what that's like. I have a genetic mutation in my spine (though it's in my lower back.) It's called an accessory facet of the lower lumbar, where part of my vertebre actually branched off into a completely separate bone, curved around the main nerve, and made a second joint on the side of my hip. Thankfully, it's a completely mobile joint, so it didn't rob me of much range of motion, but it sometimes causes serious, delibitating muscle spasms when I run, so I have to load up on muscle relaxers before every track meet. You'd have to see this thing to get an idea of what it's like; it's really weird. Looks kinda like an elbow on the X-ray. (Thankfully, it's barely noticeable on the outside. It just makes it look like my hips are a little crooked.)
Maybe you should try doing excersizes. A chiropractor would be able to help you a lot; you're probably out of adjustment.

Armless style - very unique, and it works great here. It shows how mad you are - you get drawn with no arms, then somehow find them at the end of the comic!

lol not only that, but Angela's constant chatter about things Ratchet cares nothing about. XD
Ratchet: *half-asleep on couch, gun in hand*
Angela: "Nowadays those involved in aging research view aging in terms of a genetic disease rather than as a natural, evolution-driven process by which the old make way for the young. A condition of aged friends and relatives seems terrible to conceive; they are afflicted with a ghastly wasting disease, a plague whose effects are inescapable because of our own genes. People plagued with Werner syndrome do not even have the opportunity to experience this natural progression we call aging, instead this disease causes its victims to die of old age by their mid 40's or 50's.
Introduction:
Just about everyone dreads the physical decline often associated with aging, but people with the rare inherited disease known as Werner syndrome have to face the aging process far sooner than most. Unexpectedly, while they are still in their early twenties, their hair grays, their skin loses its suppleness, and their vision clouds from cataracts. Even worse, they get cancer, ..."
Ratchet: *slowly raises gun to own head*
Angela: And you know what else, using nanotech, we're...
Ratchet: *BANG!!*
Angela: "Ratchet? ... ... ... You okay, honey? ... ... ... Oh, well... Current studies in nanotech have proven that..."
...And so ends the life of a great intergalactic hero, killed by the constant chatter of an obsessed geneticist who has spent too much time living alone on an ice planet...

ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that is one of the funiest things i've seen on the net ever! i just can't stop laughing!
here's a continuation:
Angela: Nanotechnolgy may have been invented by Gadgetron but we've perfected it
*Angela looks at Ratchet for a few seconds*
Angela: like OUR nanotech can cure that old battle wound you've got!
*Angela shakes Ratchet and his head falls off from decay*
Angela: OMFG! WTF!?!?!
RIP: Ratchet a great hero who was dead for 4 hours before his Friend the Quote "an obsessed geneticist who has spent too much time living alone on an ice planet" unquote realised he was dead

no she wouldn't.... at least not right away. well to be truthful i've only played GC 1&a-half times through because all i've done is rent R&C2 (it's due back next week :Frustrated: ) I own R&C3 so I've seen Sasha almost 40 times!
Don't get me wrong thinking that all i hate is Sasha.
Your Art always makes a Ratchet/Whoever pair look right!
but at least at first if SM is a R/A and stays like that it'll be like for the first few weeks
then after that it would be "Ratchet!"
but you see the thing about Angela is...

Why do I support Satchet? Simple: cannon.
Insomniac made a much bigger deal of her than Angela, so until I see good, solid evidence they're switching back, I'll sit on my high-and-mighty continuity horse, of course.
And short or a guy, short or a guy...hmm...well, short people are short and have all the problems that come with being short (you can't reach the top shelf without climbing on the bottom ones, you feel like you're gonna be squashed in a crowd because people can step on you without looking, you can't see over people at the theater...), but guys are perverts nine times out of ten (or at least this bunch of 'em here is) and, being perverts, their brains are external and hang between their legs and so are subject to much abuse when their perversion annoys girls...
Of those two, I'd say being short. But if given the option to be a decent guy, I'd probably say being a guy is better. I mean, they get to play video games and walk around in shorts without shaving without getting stared at.

something to think about is what if the only reason they made a bigger deal of Sasha was because when Angela came in her being a woman was just a plot twist but when IG realised that a Women in Ratchet's life eroused such a stir in things like forums and your pages (which has helped me prove more than a point!) they decided "let's just throw in another girl in solanna and see what happens." and as I said SM is set in bogon you never know......
and i've posted a first part of a story would u be able to check it out?
and if u think it's worth it would u be able to tell some people about it?
ill have the next chapter by the end of the week. now..... OFF TO PLAY *pauses* what should I play *thinks hard* R&C3 better game R&C2 better girl hmmmm........ OFF TO PLAY R&C2
