Hey, James, you there?

Pig, you should raise iy to $5

Sure! Hey, congrats on the contest!

Ok sure! tell me how to join and see you there!

Great! But could we chat @ ur site? p.s. how do you join a chat on ur site? oh and could u write down my email address so i can delete it? i dont want people i dont know seeing it and sending me spam.

I guess you are off line. If you are not and are reading this, reply. ill be checking this page a lot until i get a reply.

i must have not opened that blog 2 search engines yet. go towww.devonwulffblog.blogspot.com

well?

Hey, long time no see, mate! lol. That guy said we were dumbbecause if we were really as concernedabout eavesdroppers as we thought, we would have found a way to privayely message each other. O, and I live in america. Do you wanna email chat? My emails above, a few comments up. P.S. I posted a new blog:www.averagedude.com. Its a book I wrote. I’ gonna post one chapter a week. Tell me what you yhink:

Glad I could help, James! P.S.: Don’t let your mom know that pearls are clam spit and sand, though. OK?P.P.S. wanna chat via email?

and what do you think of my new blog?

lol 1 last idea… do u have facebook if not then well stay here. and dont worry the book will become more interesting next wednesday.

Well, I’m signing off. James, same location tomorrow. If you wanna chat.

Hey guys! I’m back on for a bit… Oh, and his name is James.

Nice profile pic! {:<)

I was talking about you, Jacob. Mine’s ok though (right?) lol

Hellllooooooo…Either of you out there?!?

I just signed into GMail. You guys have it? If not, sign up! You can have live chat on it!

Thanks for the compliment! To get a profile pic, you first need to have a pictures folder(s) on your comuter. once you have one, Google the pic you want (for instance, I Googled Rat Pearls Before Swine and clicked on the pic I liked.). Left-click on the pic and hit the option that lets you transfer the copy of the pic to your Pictures folder, or just plain add it without a folder. Then you go 2 ur proile and hit ‘Customize Avatar’, or whatever it says under ur profile pic. When you see the bubble pop up, hit ‘Browse’. Search ur pics and click the profile pic you want , and you have your profile pic! Or you can skip Googling a pic and use 1 already on your pics folder.

Right click. Sorry.

Well, I’m american, but this is the only time I am able to get acess to the family Kindle. My sis spends all day on it. And I stay up all the time, so it doesn’t bother me. You are an awesome friend, too. BTW, is the time diff off by 24 hrs? Example: 5 P.M. here, 5 AM there?P.S. Wanna be Pen Pals? If so, we could send each other our pics (no, I don’t actually look like Rat from the Pearls Before Swine strip).

Oh, and nice profile pic! Did you draw it urself? Oh, and i was looking @ some of ur sis’s past blog posts… who WAS Mystery Enemy?

Sounds like a bestseller! What’s it about?

The Jared one. I guessed from ur sis’s blog that ADHD was a school story.

Sounds great! Time: 1:41

Do you have GMail? Get it if ur parents say yes. u can have live chats on it. Also see if u can create a facebook page 4 ur sis’s boos. then we could chat on there. ps pls reply quickly so i can get som sleep. tell me when she nxt posts on her blog pls.

Yah im fine thx 4 asking. listen our family needs some xtra dough and were selling the kindle. i probably wont be able to chat often now so after 2nite i mite not sign on again. ill miss talking 2 you and jacob. so we can keep talking cud we be pen pals my address is1068 wards creek rrogue river O. 97537. JP175 u can write me 2. lets keep chatting tonite though. :~)

oregon not o. sorry

Hey, James, I just updated both my blogs. Come check them out! Oh, and my book’s blog is improving!

heloooooooo???

James and Jacob,

Tonight is probably going to be my last night on GoComics.com. I will miss chatting with you both.James, I am allowing you to write my RandomFacts blog for me, if you want. But please don’t write on my Average Dude blog. A day will come when I’ll finish that one. I’ve had a great time chatting with you. Remember the day we first ‘met’ each other? We filled a whole Big Nate comments page with our conversation! (Not to mention that you even wrote GoComics an apology letter!) :~) I hope that we will still become Pen Pals. Sure, it’ll be awhile in between receving each other’s responses you living in the Land Down Under and all, and with me living in the USA, but at least we could send each other our pictures. And if you don’t hear from me again on this site, we’ll still be able to chat. And this may sound stupid, but could you send me a copy of ‘Diary of an ADHD Kid’ with both you and your sister’s signatures inside the front cover? I’d appreciate it!And Jacob, I have a favor I’d like to ask you: Could you send me a copy of Comic #13, if I win the contest? And I know I haven’t chatted with you as often as I have with James, but it still has been a blast! Oh, and you know when I gave you one of my blog links, and it didn’t work? It was because I had typed it wrong! The real adress is http://averagedude.blogspotcom. I hope you like the blog!Well, guys, it’s been fun, hasn’t it? Well, lets hope I start chatting again tomorrow!Later,Devon.And possibly for the last time,Gluteus Maximus out.

Well, I’m tired. Gonna shut down 4 the night.hopefully ill see u both tomorrow.

alright im SURE this is my last time here. ill miss u 2 james.

The whole world can get your address now…

30 comments from the same guy…

oh, and btw magicfan, me and jacob r just friends.

its supposed to be a mouse who is afraid and is running away

Nah. I enjoyed not hearing from you. it was peaceful. HAH!!! TOTALLY JOKING!!! anyway, how ya doing Jacob?P.S. i’m dying (long story that you might not wanna hear.) so I might not be on for a loooooong time (ha. death humor.) but you can still talk to Vlad (RulerOfRussia), and we’re A LOT alike!!!

i appreciate that coolio.whoa whoa whoa why are u other 2 on? sparky i can barely tolerate and mojo is a hypocrite, no great degree of offense meant.

We’re still friends, I just thought you had left for ever. Plus, yeah…I’m a girl. James is just my internet identity. My actual name is Jasmine (BUT CALL ME JAZ!).

Dunno if you got my message, bud, but yesterday I put about Cookie Controller (cookies333). I said she/he should have a cookie mask and a question mark on a cape and the fullstop could be a cookie.

Well, your real gender started to show when Coolie mentioned your Unicorn Club.BTW Were cool dude(ette?)

You dont think I was too harsh on Mojo, do you? Honest answer, pls. And yeah, I’m a girl too.

P.S. My real name is Develle (but puh-leeze call me Dev!) and you have total permission to go on that URL!And about the weird name… don’t ask. But isn’t it wierd that we’ve been keeping this same exact secret from each other this entire time?!? XD

Oh and since I don’t have a secret anymore, I’m switching my name to Devvy98<3. It beats the heck outta Gluteus Maximus!

Btw Devvy98<3

Yeah, I had help from my bro in the act-lke-a-boy-dept. But my timed life is still the same. I would tell you what’s killing me, but you might not wanna hear that. If you wanted to know I’d tell you since I trust you a lot still, but, like I said, you probably don’t wanna know. But really, was I too harsh with that Dojo dude?:-\

good. its not like gross or gory but still, good.Yah. Vlad is my BF. He’s got short curly black hair, 1" shorter than me :D and is really cute. but then again im his girlfriend so im suppsed to think that.

My BF is called James (no kidding. i wrote the book before he asked me out and we were just friends) and he has glasses, brown hair, we’re the same height and both write novels and comics together and love to be random and crazy

Wow, I forgot about this, last time I saw this place was when I was TheSnoopster

September 23rd, but it was a rerun, and then they started all over again, like Calvin and Hobbes

Yes.

I accept your apology. I also like the story idea!

Awesome! Been a Denver fan since I was born.

It’s fine on mine. I read part of it, but not the whole thing. I think it was pretty good! : )

I have to go eat dinner, I am going to delete some of the comments I just made, because I don’t want to be accused of spamming. : )

Can I join the conversation? :P

2nd longest comment I have ever seen on here.

It was….AWESOME! It should get published one day!

I am writing a novel as well! I want to write a thick book one day!

Well, its about an old woman that is about to die but wants to leave her 2 sons gifts: the oldest: the gift of telling the future and the youngest: able to change the future! So far I’m at the part when they found out about the oldest son’s daughter!

Writing the part I mean! :P Note: the daughter is from the future!

You like to read? I’m your average bookworm! :P

Cool! : )

I can’t think of any others

200th comment!

Maybe: flight, animal controlling, able to control speed of someone’s life, to copy something, to replace one thing with another by mind and the ability to make someone forget everything! Hope I helped! :P

WELCOME, buddy!

cookies333 and KK on fire: I can’t find it, for some reason, but it was probably in September of 2012, on the Big Nate side, it was probably 79 lines long, nahh, 156, maybe, I can’t remember.

Oh!

@KK on FireHow did you change your name?

Oh I gotta go! Same place tomorrow?

:P

Yep, I can’t find it, darn, I was gonna recite it, too.

Devon is a girl

Are we going to keep using this strip as a sort of chat room? There will be a lot of comments! : )

Im writing a book on ZOMBIES :D who wants tah hear it?

Your book….it’s so addictive!

Hola estoy usando transalate gafas para escribir esto. Utilicé Google transalate para leer su mensaje also.I no puede hablar español, pero aprendo algo en la escuela. ¿Se puede hablar Inglés? ¿Te gustaría ser amigos? :)

Trate coppying nuestros comentarios y pegándolos a este sitio web. Entonces usted será capaz de entenderlas. : Sitio Web): http://translate.google.com

By the way I can’t speak Spanish. I just learnt a tiny bit at school, but I did all of that on Google Translate. : )

Comics Go tiene una sección en español.http://www.gocomics.com/explore/espanol

yeah. my real name is jaz. we still friends?

Wanna read my Zombie Book so far? PS: I cant speak Spanish, but I can do a bit of Italian.

Stop having a chat party in the comments. Do it somewhere else.

And it’s only one comic, it’s not like we’re talking in all the old ones.

You’re right. We try our best.

You guys are still here?

Seriously! So you can speak english! Oh well no more google translate for me. : )

where did you learn to speak Spanish?

He could see them even if he couldn’t speak English, there’s actually a Spanish section on Go Comics. No one comments there though. : )

Yeah, here’s the link. : )Link: http://www.gocomics.com/explore/espanol

There’s Calvin and Hobbes and Big Nate, but yeah there’s not that many. : )
