It's Just a Ball of Living Goo.
I've had moments like today's strip. Something happens where people would normally freak out, yet there I am going "huh". I've received nasty gashes and end up staring at the wound, simply saying, "That's not good". I've seen a poor soul get stabbed, I've even had some punks with a gun come up to me, Dan, and another one of our old buddies, and I just thought, "Well this can't be good", without really showing much emotion or fear (but trust me, I am afraid of people with guns who probably don't know how to use them).
Then you take me and have me play a video game with some of my buddies, and chances are you'll eventually hear me do one of my patented "Dave Panic Shouts". It's difficult to describe, but Dee has commented in game with something along the lines of, "Dave, the score says you're the bad-ass of this game, but your panicked cries sound like that of a scared school girl". I used to do that because it was funny, then it became habitual. Well, crap.

There Can Be Only One
I always thought it was ridiculous to have Vargas' work posted on two different sites, and Direman Press is extremely pleased and proud to have Squishy Comics on board.
To readers of Squishy Comics: Welcome to Direman Press, your one-stop-no-cost-to-you-unless-you'd-like-to-donate-via-PayPal-pretty-please for all of your entertainment needs.
To Squishy Ink: Thanks for your patience, and I hope everything is to your satisfaction. I'm glad to hear (so far) that you're all pleased with your new home. Don't worry, your rotating quote machine is on the way, and let me know if anything else is amiss.
To Dan: Your debut script for the new site is one of the finest you've ever done. It's well paced and the resolution is insightful.
To Dave: Good gravy, for the first time, "Squishy Dave" puts you to shame. I don't know if it's because he's extraordinarily simple or sagely deeper than anyone gave him credit for, but anyone with that manner of instant wisdom and clarity is someone I'd go to for life guidance.

Evolution of a strip
Well, thanks for the props Dee. They're much appreciated.
I'm glad you've all enjoyed Dan being pulled from his slow descent into madness. Oddly enough Dave's little Zen moment, which is now my favorite part, was a last minute afterthought. Originally the beat was "You can see, too?" "Yeah." "Well then. Fuck you, Thorazine". You see, this strip was to be preceded by one where Dan would be at a psychiatrist complaining about his "little green hallucination". Unfortunately, I wasn't able to think of an appropriate punch line for that strip and without that I wasn't 100% sure that the audience would understand the depths of the Dan's insanity. I added the "I thought I was going crazy" line and Dave's little speech flowed naturally from there.

Bajingo bajingo bajingo
I... I have power! And Dee, Dave has achieved true zen... how does that shit make you feel? I for one want to staple his ear to the side of his head to snap him out of it... but that'll wait till he's asleep.
Anywho, new site looks spiffy! Be sure to check out the Wallpaper section, there's a pretty good selection. Also, Dee... forums... need place to digitally bitch slap you. <3
