transcript
panel one: angel is in his pre-calc class, struggling. to his left is a girl with short black hair whose listening to music. angel is thinking, "ugh, why the hell is this so hard..."
panel two: angel looks to the girl next to him's paper.
panel three: angel's face lights up in delightful surprise.
panel four: angel exclaims to himself, stunned, "BEETLE GIRL?!" when he sees the artist the girl is listening to.
panel five: angel smiles while thinking to himself "damn, it's so cool finding a fellow fan out in the wild...".
panel six: angel looks over to the girl again and thinks "and they're listening to a good song too!!!"
panel seven: the panel shows a closeup of the song the girl is listening to. angel praises the album the song is from in his thoughts, thinking "UGHHHH i love her debut album so much, wow..."
panel eight: angel's thoughts are cut off abruptly when the girl skips the song. the eighth panel shows a new song by BEETLE GIRL and angel's reaction is less elated, thinking "—oh. well that one's okay too."
panel nine: once again, the girl quickly skips the song and the panel shows a new song. angel recoils in his thoughts, thinking "UGH, THAT SONG?!" "such a stupid corny dud love song that blew up for no reason."
panel ten: the girl beams and mouths 'so good' while listening to the song. angel is baffled. filled with disgust, he thinks "AND SHE LIKES IT???"
panel eleven: the girl happily listens to the song, so overjoyed she's hyperbolically depicted crying. upon seeing her reaction, angel shields himself from her using his left hand and exclaims, "NEVERMIND, WE ARE NOT THE SAME..."
BKNY Scraps - summer-fall 2023
scraps of the comic project i started then ended right before summer break ended. i intended it to be this trip to new york my characters took on summer break during a summer when i, coincidentally, went to new york 2 times. (it was terrible i hated it i hate new york) anyways i only ever finished the first chapter (the chapters were "days" and the trip was meant to last 7 days) before summer break basically ended asnd i never picked it up after; only like the first 5 pages of c2 were made.
going into it, i had no plan and just wanted to have fun and no plan for how the days would go by, though there were multiple times i tried to use a google doc to plan it out ??? i dont know. i tried to have fun and all the pages are made in like different mediums, styles, and levesl of effort cause i though i was being quirky and funny. it makes it hard as fuck to read and my phone camera sucks so for some of the bits i drew on lined paper, for example, with a thinass pen, you can hardly read anything and its just embarrasing. also i drew so differently back then lmao
im kind of sad i gave up on this and ill definitely pick it up again one day but for now i dont have the motivation. making comics takes so much time and planning and even small shorts tires me out.
looking back on it i am simultaniously both cringed out as fuck (the dialogue) and proud of myself for making the first cahpter. it give me a bit of nostalgia for the summer. like a sentimental freak. shut up.
also i was gonna host the comic on neocities and i still have the page with all of chapter 1. you can guess the url if you wish guess??! i will release it when i overcome cripppling embarrassment at how one dimensional i potrayed my characters lmfao
in the meantime here are some scraps of what i have on hand

transcript
page one, panel one: angel furrows his eyebrows, on the cusp of waking up from sleep.
page one, page two: angel jolts awake and his eyes open up in alertness.
page one, page three: on the left side of the panel, angel frowns, while on the right, wiggly letters spell out his thoughts "oh my god, I NEED TO VOMIT". uneasy spirals and lines form a vignette around him and his thoughts.
page one, panel four: in a flowing sequence, angel jumps out of bed, slams open the bathroom door, and pukes out into the toilet. while he's puking, wiggly, dripping lettering over his head spell out "bleghh".
page one, panel five: panel five shows a close up of angel's face with a nauseous expression. he thinks to himself, "jesus, what happened? did i eat something bad? what the fuck, am I allergic to cheese or something??" (for dinner, him and his frieads ate pizza). around him, he's surrounded by wiggly spirals and lines.
page one, panel six: angel flushes the toilet with the same nauseous expression. he thinks, "ughh, whatever, i'll think about it tomorrow."
page two, panel one: angel holds his hand against his forehead with a pained expression.
page two, page two: while still facing the other way, he's startled when he heards carlos calling out for him from outside the bathroom, asking "..angel..? you good?"
page two, page three: carlos, with his phone's flash pointed at angel, he asks "what are you doing?"
page two, panel four: angel shields the intense light of carlo's phone flash from his face, irritatedly yelling at him "don't point your phone light to me straight into my eyes you dick.??!" carlos counters "it's too dark i couldn't see!"
page three, panel one: carlos frowns and asks angel, "really, what're you doing? it looks like youre sick like you just puked or something," genuinely concerned. "HAH checks out" angel says while fumbling with his hair. "wait, did you actually?" carlos asks again. "..yeah" angel admits.
page three, panel two: carlos then asks angel "you're good now though right?" "yeah, my head just hurts a bit," angel says while pressing his palm against his head.
page three, panel three: "oh, i got some aspirin in my bag, ill get it" carlos replies as they both walk out of the bathroom.
page four, panel one: angel pours out two aspirin tablets from a bottle of aspirin.
page four, panel two: angel swallows the aspirin pills.
page four, panel three: "thanks for that" angel tells carlos.
page four, panel four: "you're a lot nicer to me when im sick," angel adds snarkily.
page four, panel five: "well, obviously, i'm still your friend. water?" carlos asks while holding out a water bottle. "oh, thanks," angel replies.
page five, panel one: angel suddenly looks down at the bottle in realization, and starts, "-wait-".
page five, panel two: "isn't this your water bottle?" angel asks carlos.
page five, panel three: "hah yea, would've been funny if you drank it." carlos cheekily remarks. "tTHATS not even funny that's just gross" angel says, grossed out.
page five, panel four: "nevermind, you're just a gross dick all the time," angel says, taking back his initial "compliment". carlos holds in a laugh.
page five, panel five: "whatever, i'm gonna go back to sleep" carlos says while plopping himself back onto his bed.
page five, panel six: "you'll be good, yeah?" carlos asks once again. "yeah," angel assures. "cool, night." carlos finally says. the page fades into a dark gradient.
