Reboot
acadia on June 13, 2007
Applied Living makes its triumphant return!
Epic! Exhilarating! Vociferous! Splendiferous! Verdant! Strident! Scintillating! Prismatic!
And, as always (at least on my part), stupid and underachieving. Nonetheless, we're going to shellack and shellshock Lazarus with a serendipitous resurrection of our own.
Basically, Dave and I met with heavy resistance and native unrest in the form of other projects (and for me, exploitation at the hands of Applebee's): The Flammarion, and Id, Pedestrian Protection, Mediocre Militia. Write those names down, because they are the future. Or Google them and be rewarded with artistic ambrosia.
We've rethought a few things. Shaun and Dave are going to be the focus of the strip from now on. The other characters will make cameos here and there, but they'll be held to minor roles. We're going to try and improve on the humor and the content, and try to make each individual strip a little more dialogue intense, and the comic on a whole a little more story-based.
So, now that Applied Living is retooled, we hope that the changes don't WRENCH your heart and soul. We're not trying to SCREW you over, or anyone, nor are we trying to HAMMER you with inconsistency. We just want this to be the best possible; we want to NAIL it.
Enjoy.
–Shaun
EDIT: Your demands have been met: the old Applied Living. Now please return the hostages.

Very nice. Love the 'timeline' theme. I also dig your coloring style!

Lol, this is why I can't keep in touch with my childhood friends. They'd be dead by now.

I found you guys right before you went off for the retooling, and only got to read a few of the older strips before they disappeared. But I liked what I saw, and I'm glad you're back. I liked the flow of this new strip. The guys' characters come through clearly and the art is as expressive as always. Looking forward to more! (Sorry about the lack of an icon. I need to fix that soon.)

Yahhh, They are back. I agree with the others, I hope you keep the old strips in an archive. (What's wrong with gay?)
jiminycricketX at 6:30AM, June 14, 2007
WAIT HALF A FRIGGIN MINUTE! You guys got rid of your old archive? Damn, I'll miss those. You should at least repost them as a seperate comic or something (Like: Applied Living Classic, or something.)
jiminycricketX at 5:13AM, June 14, 2007
Well then, isn't that cute.
doomedd44 at 4:37AM, June 14, 2007
dang,,, i was gonna go back to read the one where one of you got mauled by a polar bear (you guys were talking about global warming) that was probably my fave, in fact it was that one that made me start reading it (as with most of the comics i read i saw my sister reading them first)
theJimmy at 1:57AM, June 14, 2007
aw... they're so gay. great strip. -J.
reboundcomic at 11:35PM, June 13, 2007
I like the idea of two or three main characters. It is easier to develop their personalities. As always, the art looks really good.
BigFishComic at 11:28PM, June 13, 2007
you know what I find interesting? Dave has kept the exact same hair since birth according to this comic. ...and I really want to end this making some witty comment about tools in capital letters but I've got nothing.
