original_post:_10/7/2000______Here Max starts focusing on what the comic "Neato People" would be about. My idea for "Neato People" was mostly a X-men style parody, and was originally going to be featured much more heavily in the strip. I made Max a comic book artist, because at the time, I was in grad school for comics, and I wanted to be one. You can also see some more experimenting with how the word bubbles, or lack there of, was happening. This style didn't last.
