    Oh man it would be so much cooler if guy was a pirate……ok maybe not but it still made me laugh.

  2. j evans Says:

    Ever since I was a young girl I’ve had a strange fear of them.

    I have GOT to use that line somewhere like ie Clothes hangers! Ever since I was a young girl I’ve had a strange fear of them…

    Well done.

  3. Lydia Says:

    I figured she’s lying. That’s so out there.

    After all, how can a high school counselor hate charity? =P

  4. the captain Says:

    hahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahhhahahahahahahahahahahaa

    AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

    i love this

  5. Andy-o Says:

    Does this mean Guy’ll kick Parker out of the plane? xD

  6. Mari Says:

    Ohhh, if guy was actually a pirate then it could be the perfect man

  7. Katie Says:

    Aw, he’s making kissy lips in his sleep.

  8. Dark Chili Says:

    well it’s also obvious she would know what to lie to her about seeing as she knows almost everything about her…

  9. ScottM Says:

    It’s obvious that Parker is lying. But does she really think it will better her chances to “be” with Ana?

  10. Damgel Says:

    heh, Parker is so mean. I hope he wakes up and throws a pillow at her and asks her if she’s making stuff up again.

    Or maybe a book… throwing a book at her would be better…. heh

  11. Moribundus Says:

    Oooh, wonderful page. I love the last two panels. Yarr!

  12. Tabs Says:

    Parker’s quite mean.

    Yarrr.

  13. TMD Says:

    I’ve never been part of the “OMG PARKER IS TEH BESTEST !!!1!1!!one!!1!” crowd, and this just reafirms it. I’d rally for Guy shooting her, but that would probably just make him seem more like a pirate. Maybe he will have a dream and talk in his sleep where he is like “OH NO PIRATES.”

    Yeah.

  14. Heather Says:

    XDD Smooth one, Parker.
    YARR!

  15. Nomad_Soul Says:

    Quite the conniving little weasel isn’t she? First it was blackmail, now it’s libel. She does need a good smack. But that probably won’t get through Parker’s mind.

    Now if Ana simply proclaimed that she loathed Parker, that would be quite shattering I imagine.

  16. Quarion Says:

    it’s slander since the author of the comic wrote it not Parker herself. Parker only said it

  17. Els Says:

    What’s with the anger at Parker? She’s pretty fardling hilarious, I think. Ha, her face is priceless in that last panel. Isn’t it just rad to go “YAR” whilst brandishing a hooked finger.

    Top o’ my books buddies.

    ~ Cheers,
    Els

  18. KingKamor Says:

    Oh, Parker, you’re a riot. =3

  19. Ter Says:

    Ha, I kinda figured Parker was lying.

  20. Peaches4444 Says:

    Parker was lying! *Gasp* What kind of a man doesn’t say “YARR!” when he steals? A very bad one. Oh, how similar we are with sarcasm.

  21. Ian N. Says:

    take a moment to think about if this was the truth. Wouldn’t this expose the fatal flaw that every character has? (yes i realize how outlandish parkers “truth” is, but maybe there is some truth behind it somewhere?)

  22. taltamir Says:

    Hate charity? with the amount that they get paid his job is a charity in of itself!

  23. DT Says:

    Oh look, Sabotage while sleeping, Clever.

  24. MadDoctorD Says:

    Backstabbing her best friend! YAAAARR MATEYS!

  25. Nomad_Soul Says:

    Els Says:
    November 5th, 2007 at 8:07 pm

    What’s with the anger at Parker?

    Well it’s quite simple. She is not only slandering his character, but has implicated him in a crime, theft. How would you like it if you were accused of a crime you weren’t guilty of it?

    Whoever did that certainly wouldn’t be in my “best friend” list. Much less “friend”.

  26. Bobby Crosby Says:

    Nomad_Soul takes things way too seriously. Parker actually has a brain, despite the fact that she’s a pretty crazy girl, so she has ZERO hopes of this “lie” actually “working” and it’s more of a joke than anything else, similar to the threesome thing from earlier that tons of people took way too seriously. She had zero hopes of that working, just like she has zero hopes of this working, because she has a brain and she knows that the people involved also have brains. Page 51 makes this even more clear.

    You should also keep in mind that Parker has gone through quite a trauma here. Put yourself in her shoes. You’re completely in love with a girl and then suddenly your best friend agrees to marry her when he doesn’t even like her and he knows you love her and the only reason he even met her was because of you and the sign you made for her. It would kill anyone’s soul. I think Parker has handled all this extremely well and she’s basically just blowing off some steam by joking about Guy hating charity and loving the thing that Stasia fears most. Give her a break, jeez.

  27. Ad Says:

    I *so* wish we could see the sister’s face at this con/joke.

    I imagine it’s the kind of look that would convince a mirror to shatter itself.

  28. That Other Guy Says:

    Parker is lying? OMGoodnes! Say it isn’t so. I wonder how long she’ll get away with it before Stasia or sister decides they’ve had enough of the Parker-madness and tells her to be honest.

  29. Bobby Crosby Says:

    Haven’t finished writing Page 51 yet, but here’s how I currently have the dialogue starting –

    ———————–
    STASIA: WHAT DOES HE STEAL?

    PARKER: WELL, HE HAS A STANDING POLICY TO ONLY BUY PIRATED CDS. AND LAST SUMMER HE AUDITIONED FOR THE ROLE OF A PIRATE IN A MOVIE ABOUT PIRATES, BUT THE CASTING DIRECTOR SAID HE WAS TOO GAY.

    STASIA: WHAT MOVIE?

    JANNY: ANA, SHE’S MAKING IT ALL UP. YOU ARE MAKING IT ALL UP, RIGHT?
    ———————-

    And Parker confirms that of course she was making it all up.

    “I *so* wish we could see the sister’s face at this con/joke. I imagine it’s the kind of look that would convince a mirror to shatter itself.”

    Hmm. Janny is smiling — she thinks it’s pretty funny. Stasia is too caught up in the moment and thinking that Guy’s too good to be true in order to properly see right away that it’s a joke, but Janny knew instantly.

  30. Tall T Says:

    Parker’s lies are so contrived that she probably wasn’t expecting Stasia to believe in them. But for the moment, it looks like she does.

  31. Bobby Crosby Says:

    But why would it even matter if Stasia did believe them? She’d find out the truth soon enough anyway. It’s no big deal.

  32. Antiok Says:

    Sometimes i feel lazy to read the comments but from time to time there are a few gems that make it worth it:

    taltamir Says: “Hate charity? with the amount that they get paid his job is a charity in of itself!”

    I laughed for a whole minute with this

    Loved the hook in “teh” last panel, maybe parker should say he invented napster or something

  33. Andrechi Says:

    He should be a ninja :D

  34. Loej Says:

    Parker isth evil!

  35. Proxess Says:

    What a liar Parker is. Tho, if Guy really thinks he’s a pirate… I bet he plays Ultima Online!! :D YARR!

  36. Teardropcatcher Says:

    Parker rocks! XD She’s so whacky and funny and crazy, you can’t help but love her. And Stasia hates pirates? O.o Why does she hate pirates? (don’t really believe in irrational fears, haha) Awesome page =)

  37. Valerie Says:

    …Pfff…fff… BAHAHAHAHAAA

    Bobby, Eisu, you guys rock so hard. XD

  38. WintryCream Says:

    My prediction: They will meet up with pirates somewhere in their many adventures. Oh noes!

  39. dragonmage06 Says:

    Aw man, Parker rocks.

  40. Dave Says:

    I do get why she’s jealous, but nevertheless … I don’t like Parker any more.

  41. Jillster Says:

    NAUGHTY PARKER!!!!! She does not want Stasia to fall in love with guy…and she knows just what to say to shake her up!!!!

  42. Ravnis Says:

    Janny is always the voice of reason so I was actually assuming she would be the one to C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER Parker’s rant. Albeit funny, it is a little to out there to be believable for more than a few moments.

    Great page, keep up the good work!

  43. Andy Mack Says:

    Shes lying?…No shit, heh its a bit obvious, she wants Stasia for herself, sneaky.

  44. Ria Says:

    Of course Parker is lying!! Guy married her dream girl. What choice does she have? LOL I do agree though that Guy should wake up and throw something at her. *giggles*

  45. KayRis Says:

    Hehe, Parker’s evil

  46. Alekxander Says:

    Fantastic page; love the first and last panels. Thanks for the great read Bobby, Eisu. :)

  47. VisionAri Says:

    Excuse me while I go call all my girlfriends and thank them for not being Parker.

    Okay, back. Yeah, as soon as I read this, I figured Janny would be the one to see through Parker’s lies. She’s got a good head on her shoulders.

  48. KittyKat Says:

    *falls over laughing* Oh, now I have to do a fanart. :P

  49. Njo Says:

    piratey ARRRRR! haha. parker should know better than to lie. Guy and Ana are ment2b^_^

  50. Pamela Says:

    *ROFLMAO @ PARKER*

    Oh, Parker, Parker, Parker, whatever are we to do with you? ;-P

    Anyways, yea, like Janny doesn’t know she’s lying. She’s got that ‘Sixth Sense’, I just know it.

    It would rock my socks if they actually did run into pirates and Guy goes

    Guy: *peers* …..Robert??

    Pirate Guy: *blinks* Guy, Holy shit, how the hell are ya?!?

    And the two start to converse like old buddies…

    Guy: *scoldingly* now what have I told you about pirating??

    Robert: *sheepishly* But it’s FUN!!!

    *roflmao* You guys are Rockin’ in the Free World!!

  51. Christine Says:

    *shakes head* Parker! You’re priceless!

  52. Andrew Says:

    Don’t worry. I got a keen enough intuition to get the sense that Parker IS lying. :)

  53. Torinaura Says:

    Wooow, Parker’s a biiiitch. Not only has Stasia been second guessing her marriage, Parker’s making it worse! Oh well, it will come back to her ten fold :3

  54. Dragonfly Says:

    You know………….it didn’t hit me she was lying. I was kind of reading and going, “….huh?” like not getting anything, but either way, I don’t think she’s a bitch, or mean, or trying to sabotage anything. I think she was just being funny, and this was just her playing a prank. Like later she’s just going to say, “HAHA JUST KIDDING!!!!!!” or something.

  55. Rachel Says:

    Hilarious. Beware the girl with the hooked finger! Love the story, please keep writing!

  56. Bartimaeus Says:

    Pirates, huh?

    Hmmm. This could be very interesting.

  57. Clyde Says:

    You know… in that last panel, Parker kinda looks like Spike Speigal from Cowboy Bebop… -tilts head- Yeeeah…

  58. ursie Says:

    god, parker’s such a b*tch! & she’s spsd to be guy’s best friend! oh the betrayal.. do go on though!

  59. Hiro17 Says:

    look this is an obvious lie, and ana will obviously not fall for it… i think.

  60. seven ate nine Says:

    The fact that Parker knows *exactly* what lies to feed Ana is kinda freaky!awesome. (can I call her that? I like it more than Stasia XD though both names are awesomesauce)

    ALthough, I agree with everybody else. Pirates are wicked cool. If Guy were a pirate…. *starry eyes*

  61. Blozor Says:

    But if Parker knew so much about Stasia, she’d already know she had next to zero chance with her anyway. If I were in her shoes, I’d just be happy to be able to hang out with the girl I most admired but could never have, even if it was just in a friend capacity. How many fans get the opportunity she’s getting?

    Her lie is clever, because now any minor imperfections of Guy’s will pale in comparison.

    BOBBY: Also, I was being sarcastic when suggesting naming Stasia’s dad Tyler. I was kind of giving a suggestion without really giving one. That’s why I phrased it the way I did. Also, I just suggested the name of the prosecution attourney from Pheonix Wright for his assistant because he looked like it when he first got out of the car. I would have commented in the other thread, but I came back THE NEXT DAY and there were 219 comments, and ugh!

  62. Alex Says:

    I half thought Parker was serious before she got to the whole pirate thing. Seriously, no way Guy is a pirate.

  63. Artisen Says:

    I think all its missing now is Ninja’s, but that will never happen o well. Anyways great one i like its a good and funny idea.

  64. batgirl Says:

    Bad Parker! BAD!

    Oh please tell me nobody’s dumb enough to belive her!

  65. invaderhog Says:

    Heh, I would totally be a pirate with Guy. That’d just plain rock! Of course Parker’s lying, she’s probably doing it to make Guy look bad. Poor Guy

  66. icchan Says:

    oh! i wish i could download for you! part of living in brasil. love you anyway. cute page.

  67. Katy Says:

    I had a horrible nightmare last night . . . I had a nightmare that the page immediately following this one was the LAST PAGE OF THIS COMIC!! AUGH!!!!! *cold sweat*

    I really had the dream. It wigged me out.

    I love this comic - keep it coming! Can’t wait to see what happens next.

  68. Mu Says:

    I don’t care what all of y’all are saying, Guy is totally a pirate! Can’t you see? He doesn’t shave, he has eye problems (he wears glasses, right?)….at the very least he’s definitely not a ninja!

  69. TheFatman Says:

    I FULLY expect Guy to jettison Parker from the plane when he wakes up>_> With a parachute because they’re buds, but jettisoned none the less.

  70. Bubble Says:

    Congrats on your 50th page!

    I

  71. Bubble Says:

    sorry, didn’t finish the last comment!

    I LOVE MARRY ME!!!
    xx

  72. Ari Says:

    Woot page!

    Nice “spoiler” ;) It’ll be interesting to see where this goes.

  73. Bones Says:

    I just realised something. That obsessed fan-chick looks something like Radical Edward from Cowboy Bebop… Just wondering if you used her as a template. (see link http://www.platypuscomix.net/bored/raded.jpg)

  74. invaderhog Says:

    OM to the freaking G! That’s why I thought she looked familar! Heh, she could cosplay. lol… cosplay…

  75. Eisu Says:

    Bones: Not really, but I might have been inspired. When I do character designs, I really wing it with what I feel like should be close to what they look like, so sometimes, old inspirations do tend to creep out and influence my designs.

  76. Hydrogen-Crane Says:

    I do like this comic since page 1. Parker is just so cute despite her neurotic behavior. I feel more so than Stasia for some reason. Because she’s crazier perhaps? Maybe it’s the collar. The irony of this is that Stasia “plays only for the home team” and the only reason why Parker is closer to her dream girl than she could have ever hoped to be is because a man was holding the sign she made. Stasia would have just passed over a girl and chosen the mook farther down the audience.

  77. Bobby Crosby Says:

    Yeah, but that doesn’t make her pain any less. Finally finished writing Page 51 around eight hours ago, by the way. It’s the most “dramatic” page so far, and based on the comments for this page, I don’t think many people will like it or sympathize with Parker, but oh well. Hopefully it’ll be up by Monday.

  78. Hydrogen-Crane Says:

    I admit I also enjoy the SHADOWGIRLS web comic where I also make comments since both of these comics have a similar comment format. Nice.
    This is going to be one helluva movie if someone in Hollywood would open their eyes. Or they’re just waiting for more story to unfold…
    I can feel for Parker. I’m sure other readers would too. It’s just a matter of how her pain is presented. Ditto for the actual depth of her love. I know other readers do find Parker cute. Some guys must really wish she’d pitch to their team.
    Oh, and I think Stasia looks cuter with her visor on. I dig that cover. But Parker is just the cutest little nut.

  79. Hydrogen-Crane Says:

    Oh, and I’d love to see backstory depth on Guy and Parker growing close as friends. Did he awkwardly try to date her at first? She must have been a cute and attractive girl back in high school.

  80. Jade Says:

    How did people think Parker was trying to convince Ana and Janny that she’s serious? O_o;; I mean, come on. xDD
    “Like whenever he steals something, which he does every once in a while, you know, he’ll yell, “Yarr!”.”
    …Biggest giveaway ever. O_O Parker = nuts, yes. Parker = stupid? Not so much, in my opinion.

    If I’m honest it’s the sort of thing I’d say myself. Only I like to go slightly more rediculonk so even people as, erm… Gullable as Ana get me. xp

  81. Nikki Says:

    ahaaha Stasia is soo gullible…
    that just makes it funnier ahaha
    Parker has no idea that she has no chance
    it’s quite hilarious

  82. Felix Says:

    For Stasia’s dad, I think the name Sanford would do nicely. Sanford Tyler.

  83. Sean Says:

    Well, of course she’s lying. She’s jealous of Guy. Although, you’d think that the others would be skeptical. I mean, after all, how outlandish do you really think all of those claims are?

    …Yarr!

  84. VisionAri Says:

    If Parker is as smart as we’re being told she is, there are a couple of things she really ought to think about:

    If her sabotaging efforts succeed and Guy gets dumped, Parker loses access to Stasia.

    If her sabotaging efforts fail AND she damages her friendship with Guy, Parker loses access to Stasia.

    So as disappointed as Parker may be about the (maybe) marriage, she needs to realize that she has a lot to lose if she insists on being a jackass.

  85. Bobby Crosby Says:

    VisionAri: Your entire premise makes no sense. It’s a clear joke to anyone with a brain, Parker’s lies. The best thing to do is just LAUGH at it, which is what Janny is doing. And Stasia will simply feel a little embarrassed more than anything when she realizes that it was of course a joke.

  86. Daniella Says:

    Guys, just enjoy the comic. There won’t be a test or a research paper afterward.

    Besides that…
    ROFLMAO!!

    Also, at the risk of you already answering this. Where is the father of Janny’s baby?

  87. Mr.Gut Says:

    ……….YAR!!!!!!!!!!

  88. Bobby Crosby Says:

    “Where is the father of Janny’s baby?”

    Don’t know, haven’t decided. Most likely won’t appear in the comic. She’s almost certainly not with him anymore, though.

  89. Son of a Monk Says:

    As funny as reading the Comments is, almost everyone here is an idiot. Therefore, posting here, I risk being, by association, an idiot.

    But still worth it to give my feedback to Bobby. Amazing story lines for this and Last blood. Love them both, and when you do start making films out of them, please let me know, I would like to maybe try auditioning or something, or helping with production, preferably music, something in there. I could be comparatively cheap labor. you never know.

    Anyways, really good work, Please keep it up.

  90. Son of a Monk Says:

    Quick note, when acting the scene, have Parker look left and up. It is a psychological reaction to fabricating a memory. Bonafide Fact.

  91. Lucy Says:

    Lol, Parker Would Lie ^^

  92. Lolli Says:

    HA!
    Oohhh~~ Parker is so bad. -chuckles-
    I severely hope that in some later page Stasia (er… Ana?) brings it up while making a joke and earns a “WTF?” look from Guy. Hehehe…
    Also, leave it to Parker to know exactly what Stasia is afraid, so that she can use it later…

    1up for Parker!!

  93. Pixie Says:

    Did Parker ever shower after peeing on herself?

  94. Bobby Crosby Says:

    No, she didn’t.

  95. Mental Mage Says:

    ZOMG! Okay I just finished this yesterday (ok fine started yesterday… and finished) I adore this comic, which sounds rather gay doesn’t it? :P Anywho Im totally hacked up on donuts so I apologize in advance for lunatical ravings. First off I love your characters, Im a writer myself and wish I had the art skills in order to make a web comic, have most of a story written out (the hard part would be reformatting it so there was more dialogue) anyways back to you. Your characters are very well developed even though its a mere 50 pages in. They are quirky enough (minus guy) that you can instantly feel like you get who they are yet normal enough that they don’t seem to be a sore thumb ya know? My favorite is guy simply because a) Hes pretty much the only guy around and being surrounded by girls can be rough. b) He does High School counciling so he just takes things as they come including getting married to a random pop star whose music hes never listened to and getting on a plane to Africa. Love this guy :) {Not gay honest}, next of all whoever does your art deserves a cookie, the backgrounds are well drawn and colorful (something Ive noticed alot of webcomics miss is their backgrounds) not only that but the style is similar to the characters so they blend in, they dont seem to be cut outta somewhere else and pasted into a random world, they seem to belong. Basically I love your comic XD. Kay now that thats outta the way, someone mentioned something about last blood. Are you responsible for that gem as well? Cause if you are someone deserves a big hug. Also I would love to DL your comics however only have a hotmail account and WOWIO wont let me sign up {and I dont ahve an id even though im 18… dont ask} so was wondering if you had another suggestion? And one more thing before I pass out of sugar OD… What are your requirments for updating this more often (most webartists have some sort of goal before they start adding more comics more often) Kay night all, thanks for letting me go off :P

    God Bless,
    Thomas

  96. Bobby Crosby Says:

    “last blood. Are you responsible for that gem as well?”

    It would be a pretty crazy coincidence if I just happened to be linking to comics written by another guy who was also named Bobby Crosby.

    “so was wondering if you had another suggestion?”

    You can sign up with a credit card like I did, or figure out a way to get a non-anonymous e-mail address — I’ve been told it’s not hard to do so.

    “What are your requirments for updating this more often”

    Tons of money. Enough for Eisu to quit his job basically.

  97. VisionAri Says:

    Even transparent lies can do damage; why do you think the National Enquirer gets sued so much? :)

    Anyhow… I’m sure it’s frustrating when people view Parker’s antics differently than you do, but you might want to remember that you’re the only one who’s actually in her head and knows what her motivations are.

  98. weird Says:

    Huh, agreed with Son of a Monk.

    Proclaiming idiocy by association, though it’s fine, since at last I manage to post a comment.

    Well, anyway, don’t get too heated up, Mister Crossby, they’re seeing this page by page, and has time to ruminate over this single page over a hundred times before the next is coming. And by ruminating, I meant ruminating over a false opinion and failing to get common sense a hundred times over. :P

    (Eisu, we demand you become Ninja so that by my fallible logic you become a lover of charity, so that you’ll quit your job and draw the next page! :D)

  99. Son of a Monk Says:

    Nice to know someone agrees with me instead of biting me for once.

  100. Michael R. Says:

    Please make Captain Dan and the scurvy crew his favorite band! That’s Pirate CD:s all right. And Treasure Island his favourite book!

  101. Cookie Says:

    Yaaaaarrrrr!!!

    Of course.
    The pirate jokes are classic.
    Nowadays anyways.

    hehe. That rhymed, and I wasn’t trying.

    Anyways, it figures that Parker is lying. Hell, she even says “I know.” when Ana says that she’s been terrified of them.

  102. Proxess Says:

    If Eisu quits his job, we’ll be seeing Marry Me drawn on a side walk.

  103. Bubba Hotep Says:

    Does saying you publish every M-W-F mean something other than Monday Wednesday Friday?

  104. Bobby Crosby Says:

    It means every month with flowers.

  105. alpendog Says:

    Bobby Crosby Says:
    It means every month with flowers.

    Um, still waiting for my flowers.

  106. Bobby Crosby Says:

    LOL, what a donk.

  107. Amy Says:

    Hm… There appears to be a HUGE radio shack ad at the top of the screen, making it impossible to read the first half of the comic… :(

  108. Bobby Crosby Says:

    I suggest reloading.

  109. Jurbas Says:

    AWESOME!!

    I love your comic keep up the good work there

  110. Dave Says:

    I think “every month with flowers” means it will be monthly if we give Bobby and Eisu flowers. It feels like we have to wait longer than that. So I guess we now know what we have to do :-)

  111. Evans Says:

    bribing has always worked for me.

  112. Eisu Says:

    “(Eisu, we demand you become Ninja so that by my fallible logic you become a lover of charity, so that you’ll quit your job and draw the next page! :D)”

    Charity doesn’t pay my bills T_T

  113. Wolf Says:

    Oh, Parker, whatever are we going to do with you?

    “Yarr!”

    lol

  114. Saphiria Says:

    We are the pirates who don’t do anything….
    Gods, I effin love this thing! EISU U R AMAZING AT DRAWING. BOBBY CROSBY U R AMAZING AT WRITING. *bows b4 greatness*
    I wuv pirates =3
