"Kelly (Holmes): Why don't you draw
a BackStage of me?
You did one of
everyone else."
"Bryan: That's not so, but
alright."
">scribble< >scribble<"
"Kelly: A Parrot!?
You think I look
like a parrot!?"
"Bryan: Well...
O.K. I'll try again."
"scribble"
"Bryan: How's this?"
"Kelly: WHAT!? No. ... "... NO! "... NO!"
"Kelly: Geeze. If you're not
gonna be nice about it,
then..."
"BAMM"
"Kelly:
A Koala!
Now that's
more like
it. Thanks."
"I knew drawing
could be
hard, but
I didn't know
it could be
so painful."
Featuring Kelly Holmes (koala, finally) and Bryan (monster).

So, BackStage started to get noticed. Nice, that's what I had hoped would happen.
But then came the requests to include people in the strip. In my assumed role of documentarian (or the like), that was much better than an angry "is that what you think of me?" which as evidence by this strip, something I think had/has more comic value.
