And that wraps up the wedding storyline. And, guess what? This is strip #400! That’s right, I have drawn 400 “official” Z&F strips, and I ain’t sick of it yet! More, many many more, to come! Also, Z&F’s 4th birthday just passed– the first official posting online was Feburary 13th, 2007.
Dawn’s Actual Wedding Experience:
A great word of advice I got was the fact that all the small details that you (or some of your close family/friends) think are SO important, will really only be remembered by those close to you. For the reminder of the guests, your wedding will just be another wedding… blurred together with the last wedding they attended. Your special centerpieces you slaved over will be quickly forgotten, the flowers or jewelry you wore, just a blip in their memory. So, make the day important to YOU, the one who will actually remember each and every detail. Unless of course you end up with a lampshade on your head… then be glad if you remember anything at all.
That said, I at LEAST hope my guests remember who the heck got married that day.
I’ve been to parties before like that, were we get invited based off the group we run with, and afterwards we were stumped about who actually hosted the party. I can fortunately say I’ve always at least know one of the parties names in a wedding. I’ll bet Fred could give you fine details on that cake, and I’ll bet Zorphbert and The Manager won’t be able to get the details of Fred’s dancing out of their brains for sometime either. I guess at the end of the day the mission was still complete cause it was after all about recording their actions and not about getting to know the parties involved.
The Managers look of total frustration in the last panel is great. I always enjoy the expressions you give your characters.
Congratulations Dawn on #400 and the 4th Birthday. You have a wonderful webcomic and I look forward to enjoying it with my friends and family for many, many more years.
I have to say, the “annoyed” look is my favorite to draw, glad you enjoy it too!
Thanks Todd, you are one of my most dedicated (and wordy) readers… and I always look forward to what you’re gonna write next!
