original_post:_9/26/2003_______________________ When this strip came out, I actually had a lot of response from females asking if Damion would ever get a girlfriend or love interest. Some of them said he was describing them. Others said he was hot. This got me thinking about an interesting way to interact with the comic was to set up a contest to go on a "date" one of the characters. This took some planning, so I put it aside for a bit, but later on, we do see the plan come to fruition.
