Since I suck at introductions, I explain it in a question and answer style:
What is Integer Life?
A comic about things, I experienced. Life, college, parents... you get the idea.
Why the name?
Because the life at college is not the real life. And because real and integer are data types in Pascal.
Why is the drawing so shoddy?
Because I can not do better. If you have constructive criticism, do tell.
Sometimes, things do not seem to fit into the frame. why is that?
Because I thought it was a nice idea and because it is something, which only works when you are using vectorgraphics and are not confined on a certain canvas. I try to make use of PNG and SVG technology as much as I can to make the images good :)
When can I expect new IL installments?
I'll try to adhere to a weekly schedule. But maybe there will be more - or maybe less.

So... What do you think about it?
I... don't get it.
The third one at least.
Belle, Lars and Jay instantaneously realize that Rae is different and start bullying her.
It's what I encountered at any new school so far... *shrugs*

I have a question about that. Did you get bullied or bully or watch it from a side view?
I got bullied because of being different. 'Freaky' is actually one of the nicknames, they gave me (even though not at college... ).

Hoooooo I get it now, "that" refers to the character in the middle.
Yeah... exactly...could I have rephrased it?
I couldn't get to see IL2 but the rest is good, though...
And it sure brings back memories of inciting class chaos...:D
Oh, and it sucks to be bullied, at least i just got used at school. Being the brightest kid in class, i usually got the others asking me for help, i even made a chemistry paper exam for the whole class while the teacher was away for ~10 mins, I got 4 A+es while the rest all got F's... ;010...
but it usually sucks too...Having to clean other peoples mess up, and having people think i have psych issues because i was able to handle tough events when i was 9 while even adults were having difficultys with it...
Added after 26 seconds:
sorry for hijacking the thread with a rant, btw...
Sorry, I fixed the link to IL2 (http://ostan-collections.net/imeeji/displayimage.php?pos=-7219)! *blushes under her feathers*
thnx, now i can see how harsh these guys really are...
Man that's harsh... And preemtive...
Just remember, it's not the quality of the illustrations that make a comic interesting; it's the writing. And going by your past comics...I can tell that there will be plenty of intelligent, witty storylines ahead :D
Good job so far, I lol'd when the professor got the ball of paper thrown at him... ^_^
And I'm sorry you were bullied in school. That's no fun. But I can tell you this, the people who are bullied almost always have the last laugh...they're usually the smart ones, who go on to do great things...
Thanks for the encouragement!
I have to agree with Bella there, what's on the outside is only important for the shallow people among us...
That's how i cope with my ugliness...
I posted Integer Life 4 (http://ostan-collections.net/imeeji/displayimage.php?pos=-7222). Yes, Lars really uses Vista - or attempts to.
LOL, I am thinking of trying Vista, though...
To see what i am bashing... :D
Quote from: "Smokey"LOL, I am thinking of trying Vista, though...
To see what i am bashing... :D
I actually saw someone use Vista... in this project thingy.
Quote from: "Smokey"LOL, I am thinking of trying Vista, though...

Alternatively install a Vista-theme, underclock your CPU and remove half of your RAM. :topic:
I know this is OT, but Smokey...I would NOT pay money/pirate/waste the time and space to install or dual boot with Vista. If you're interested, go to a computer store or ask a Vista using friend to let you try their computer. I tried out Vista on a friend's machine, and I got sick of it within the first few minutes of using it. It was horrendous.
Back ONTO topic, first off, the very title of this strip..."File under S for Schadenfreude" is great! Secondly, I chuckled when I saw Rae's shirt. And third, the look on her face when passing Lars was golden! Good job! This is exactly the kind of wit and humor I expected from a comic of yours.
And yeah, there's nothing cooler than a woman who knows her way around a computer :D
Yes, well back on-topic, I have to agree with Rae's shirt (after painstakingly activating XP wich took me 30 mins), free is indeed better......
You really need to post more of them more often, Kami-Tux, this comic is great... ;010
Okay, by popular demand of one person: Here is Integer Life 5 (http://ostan-collections.net/imeeji/displayimage.php?pos=-7234).
I can really understand that, since i don't like people around when i'm doing stuff, either...
Because if i do, i end up anwsering very rudimentary questions, often resulting in them losing interest very fast, making the time i spent into explaining what i was doing even more of a waste...
So, yeah. Your comic is indeed brilliant and i do love 'em... :D
Quote from: "Smokey"I can really understand that, since i don't like people around when i'm doing stuff, either...
Yeah, it's very annoying. I used to lock the doors.
There is a new IL comic: http://ostan-collections.net/imeeji/displayimage.php?pos=-7242
BTW: I think 'certigi' is a really awesome word, just because of the way it sounds!
Added after 1 hours 19 minutes:
I had to re-upload IL6 due to own stupidity! *oops*
LOL...
Knowing languages other people don't understand is pretty cool sometimes... :D
And we have a new instance: http://ostan-collections.net/imeeji/displayimage.php?pos=-7243
The 4 hours sleep were no exaggeration since I had quite a commute to college at that time.
And in other news, I fscked up IL6, so I re-uploaded it.
Okay... I wouldn't have thought that, i wouldn't have kept my thoughts to myself... Instead i'd blurt out: You've got to be (f-word) kidding me, for (f-word)'s sake!?
But then again, i hate it when people do that, i assume they're wrong in not telling earlier and i like to point that out to them (sometimes more subtle, of course... )
Hey, two new pages. I seriously laughed in page 6 when Rae started talking "as she would to her grandmother"! Makes me think of when I had to explain the computer to my grandma...I wonder, after seeing this page, if it would have helped to just yell "computer è molto stupido!" XD
And in page 7, I agree with Smokey...If I were Rae, I would have freaked out if Belle sprung that surprise on me. Not nice. O__O
Belle did something smart in waiting long enough so Rae was so tired that she only wanted to go to bed and sleep until the sun sets. I'll describe her commute later in pictures (I planned IL already up to comic 25).
Sweet so there's a whole series slated then...
;010
Oh, and i am never too tired to get angry at someone...
Well, college always is giving me inspiration. ;012
And here it is: the eigth strip (http://ostan-collections.net/imeeji/displayimage.php?pos=-7245)!
LOL, well i remember one time when i was dragged in front of the class by all of my classmates to give a speech... :D
Haha! First off, I thought Rae's shirt was hilarious. Second, her mom's advice to imagine everyone naked backfiring...that's just golden XD
As you pointed out, you may not have the greatest illustrations...but this fact gets lost in your humorous, sharp writing. Well done as always :D
(BTW, may I ask what your signature says?)
This is a great comic series! It is very funny and with sophisticated humor! I also am a supporter of original characters and comic series featuring them! (I am also working on an original series, despite struggling to... For the past two years -__-)
Rae is my favorite of the characters because I totally do have a lot of empathy for her and I admire her sharp wit!
The last page was especially hilarious, how the plan of imagining the others naked completely backfired!
Thanks for your encouragement!
My sig is a pun in Esperanto: Why does Harry Potter always do dangerous things? - Because of his death wish (only that death with in this rather poetic Esperanto sounds like Voldemort.)
Oh you, Tuxinator, you.
Also, lulz.
Tuxinator?...
Tuxinator‽ WHERE‽
AAAAH!!! THERE HE IS!!!
WATCH OUT FOR IT'S FLUFFYNESS!!!
I think I missed it again :(
/me squawks sadly and even forgets to post the new comic (http://ostan-collections.net/imeeji/displayimage.php?pos=-7247)
LOL...
So true... :D
QuoteDamn hippies.
I lol'd
^ Seconded! XD
IL10 (http://ostan-collections.net/imeeji/displayimage.php?pos=-7260) now on a server near you!
(Maybe the caption isn't quite correct, depending on how you pronounce the two words, but a good caption is hard to find and this was too good to ignore)
Nice comeback... And making team a paradox, since there's no "I" or "U" in team, there's no team... :D
And since there's no "IOU" either, nobody has to pay shit for it!
*ba-dum-tsch*

OMG!
"Can we work together again?"
"Do you see a U in team?"
I seriously laughed at that comeback! That's pure gold! :D
QuoteAnd since there's no "IOU" either, nobody has to pay shit for it!
*ba-dum-tsch*
There's no I or U in "Cheesy Joke" either :P
I kid, I kid, Nejin! You know that is my way ;)
How could I not, now, dear Bella-san...
(...I spend waay too much time around here for that to have gone past me >_>)
Sorry for the delay! I had exams to fail! But I can announce the begin of a new story arch! (http://ostan-collections.net/imeeji/displayimage.php?pos=-7279)

HA! That T-Shirt was hilarious.
EDIT: I guess if void person() throws up then.
Haha, I love Rae's shirt. Oh yeah, and "I hope 1996 was a good year for notebooks" ^_^
Good work as always, Kami-Tux!
Thanks, Bella! Since after the match there was no chance to get some sleep anyways, I prepared: Integer Life 12 (http://ostan-collections.net/imeeji/displayimage.php?pos=-7283). Lusers can be cruel sometimes...

Ah ah, nice.
That reminds me how OSX was constatly mistaken for GNU/Linux at my old high school.
WHAT?! but OSX is rather different from Linux... okay, both have the GNU tools, but apart from that...
Awww, this reminds me of when I ran Puppy Linux on my Compaq desktop...everyone was like "this is Linux? Meh."
It takes Compiz and stuff to raise people's interest XD
And I can't believe anyone would mistake OSX for Linux...O___O
I probobly couldnt tell the difference if you showed me one or the other :P
New installment: Gruesome classes - now with real grues (http://ostan-collections.net/imeeji/displayimage.php?pos=-7323)!
