You know… I’ve never thought of it before… but I’ve just decided that I’ve always wanted to do that!
Hey, August has his weird moments too!
Shandy
This reminds me of something from XKCD. wouldn’t he need to tie it to a tree or a rock though?

Oh August. :D He would probably be the best big brother ever. Oh wait, my brother is almost exactly like August! (Except omit the tie and dress shirt )
Don’t let me be a party pooper here but………I hope he can get down without hurting himself. :/

If only I could do this in real life…

Hah, yeah me too…

*ugh* yeah this morning one of my coworkers pointed out that Randall Munroe (the xkcd guy) did a gag with a guy climbing a kite a while back… It’s obviously different and of curse I didn’t intend to copy anyone’s work, but still annoying. I’ve had this story in mind for a long time = I might change things up now, I might not. I don’t know…

Your brother must be pretty awesome, how is he like August?

kite sales would go up, thats for sure…also kite insurance would become a booming industry. :D

FINALLY, btw, why did u turn augusts life into your own, except for the kite thing?

The thing too Evan is that XKCD has so many simple ideas that if anyone expands on them or comes close to the idea, people jump on top of it as plagarism. I wouldn’t worry about it and just go where ever you wanted to take your story. Your art is so different and more elaborate that I don’t think it matters.
Love this strip btw.

Why should the kite have all the fun?
jean.scene
He is silly and fun to hang around, also he has a wolf master shirt. It’s like you drew my brother into your comic!!! :D

Hey Sonny, I was just flying my kite on the beach recently, and you know how I love my naps, so this strip was relevant to me.

But the Simpsons have done EVERYTHING so that doesn’t count.

If this was possible in the real world then it would stop global warming by heaps, but you might not get where you want, only where the wind wants!
Love his face in the fifth panel

True…I’ve decided to more or less go ahead with what I was planning. *shrug*

Not sure what you mean there. August is very much a different character than I am. There are bits of my personality in August, Ed, Gramps, and even the Cat :D

My name IS August, and I’ve dreamed of doing this since I was a kid. O:

I have home board game named Marco Polo and idea is collect one Chinese invention (secrets) and return Venice. There is secrets of making paper and fireworks for example. One of the secrets were “How to build One Man’s Kite”, kite large enough to lift off a man.

O_O I just read all your comics here today, I must say they’re very funny and insanely cute. I guess this one is my fave, and the 2 that have the liquid nitrogen. Keep it up, you’re awesome and yo deserve a dashing top hat
