In this comic, I tried to build some tension between Jeffro and Caitlin and even tried to allude to as-of-yet-unrevealed backstory to their history (like why Jeffro really doesn’t have a nose).
As for the Coldplay reference, I think a lot of music hipsters are saddened by the fact that they are getting really popular. For me, I’ve always have and always will support those awkward British chaps. I’m just sad that their concert tickets are outrageously expensive now.
While looking back and reading Caitlin’s dialogue, I’ve noticed she sometimes speaks in this “helpless,” cutesy-wutesy vernacular throughout this storyline. In retrospect, the way she talks towards some people masks the inherently evil aspects of the devil-woman.
So why did Jeffro and Caitlin break up? Oh, would you like to know…!

This comic marks the debut of the popular Kelly the Nympho. Apparently, all the female fans love her. Kelly, like most of the characters, are based off real people. The real Kelly is a sweet and wholesome gal, yet was supposedly really kinky with her old boyfriend.
This comic marks the debut of Szyxgla, the East-European alternative to Lizzy the Unattainable British Love Interest. I wanted her name to be confusing and unpronouncible, but if you really want to know how to say it, it’s “SI-ZIX-GLA.”
I happen to be a huge fan of Rachel Ray and her Food Network show, “30 Minute Meals.” I thought including her would be a relatively obscure pop culture reference. Not many people watch the Food Network, but those people simply aren’t way awesome.
The image for “The Sorority Girl” costume comes from a horrible, horrible slasher flick/softcore porn entitled Delta Delta DIE! The basic premise is a bunch of sorority girls (and the house has only 5 girls) entice unwitting college guys into their house, kill them, and then bake them into bake-sale goods. Cannabilistic sorority girls — quite an original plot, I say. Yes, I own the DVD merely for the sake of subjecting my friends to a god-awful movie, and for $9.99 it’s worth it.
It was incredibly fun to draw and photoshop this comic. It also demonstrates exactly how old Nigel and Randy are… then again, they are supposed to be timeless and immortal.
People really seemed to enjoy the whole “If AIM Profiles Ruled the World” comic from last year, so in honor of the internet-themed week of comics, here is the new “If AIM Profiles Ruled the World.”
