I would normally upload this on Friday, but I wanted to show someone it NOW(!), so here it is.

I don't really like that the first instance of women in the comic are these two, but the third main character yet to be introduced should help redeem me somewhat when she shows up ^^;

Anyway, this comic has several levels that amuse me:

Panel 1 - Statement of myth regarding Goldfish memory that exists to make us feel better about keeping them in small bowls.

Panel 2 - Denouncement of previously mentioned myth regarding Goldfish memory.

Panel 3 - Even more outlandish claim regarding Goldfish memory.

Panel 4 - Statement of myth regarding Goldfish memory that exists to make us feel better about keeping them in small bowls.

For the record, I suspect that with such simple Goldfish minds, they're fine in what we give them. A little castle or something might be kewl, but I think they're ok.

This comic also establishes three things about Steve (that's right, STEVE; he's named after a friend of mine who is very different from him):

1 - He is a very silly man.
2 - He wasn't kidding about that "dates for the weekend" comment in the first comic.
3 - He looks DAMN sexy in a lab coat, and I'm man enough to say it :)

Edit - Huh. Goldfish should be one word, shouldn't it? That's what I get for making it at three in the morning last Thursday... well, technically Friday ^^;

Hehe, nice ^_^
For some reason I really like the line "It's like a fishy matrix"
Gives me images of a Goldfish Neo... sunglasses and all...

And that image makes me feel warm inside. Like hot chocolate.
...I'm going to go make hot chocolate.

Bah-hahaha! Silly goldfish...Everyoe knows that they're smarter than they act, Jamie Hynamen proved it! He trained them to debunk most myths regarding pez and lighter fluid.

Fun fact: The Myth-terns are actually goldfish in robotic suits.

I'm planning one, but it's too dependent on this comic to stand alone for an entry in the paper, so it will likely only be on DA or wherever once it's made.

heh, mythbusters confirmed that goldfish do have a good memory, and if you think about it a 3 second memory is terrible for survivability. The poor creatures wold never be able to find food supplies, mates, or know which predators to avoid.

Nah, I'm just thinking too much, I like the fishy matrix idea better ^_^
:iconitmovesitchats:
Really? YAY!
If I made two hot chocolates, this would be the time when I give you one.
But I didn't, so we're gonna have to go with "it's the thought that counts"
:icondanshive:
Assuming I have time, it will be #005, as I gotta have #004 done first. Given how I plot to make the comic, the neo-goldfish one should be pretty quick to do, but not quick enough to put it before the next one for the paper.

Life is full of questions, such as "where are the answers?"
:icongamskee:
Thats hilarious. Makes me think of all the times I've wanted to wear a suit and run through an office building making ridiculous demands, before promptly exiting the premises.

Definitely the funniest of these so far.
:icontaigan:
:XD: Nice!

Although, I confess I keep having to tell myself that the dark haired girl is not Tedd transformed. ^^;
