Maybe she's a better model or actress, I don't know. I've heard she has a glamorous presence, but that is routinely taught to beauty contest participants in a few months. Oh, I messed her name, she's named Carla, not Karla. |

Yeah, I'd already looked at / searched for her and I'm pretty sure from the name that Stephanie is the one I was thinking of... but somehow she doesn't seem all that special on the pictures I'm getting back now. I'm certain that she was better looking a couple of years ago when I read about her. |

![]() | On 2009-04-26 at 04:00:26, BorgClown wrote... Reviewing the entire archive of something (webcomics, pictures, etc.) gives me a feeling of accomplishment and futility. Accomplishment because I satisfy by hunter-gatherer gotta-have-them-all instinct, and futility (sometimes) because it didn't have to be done. Here's one of those temptations, an pixel-art, manually animated webcomic with a story and a proper ending (something rare among webcomics): http://www.kidradd.com/ |

On http://www.kidradd.com I spent a while stepping through the panels one at a time, but eventually decided to see if I was anywhere near the end. I stopped reading and just clicked Next as quickly as I could... I quickly got bored of even that, and there are simply way too many frames. |
