Jon: A lot of people ask us where we get our photos. None of them seem to be able to swallow that we take the photos ourselves. It's a daunting task, moving from campus to homogenous campus in relentless search for the Hangin' Out Gang. But it's something we take a great deal of pride in. Remember when we first started? It was just you, me and a 3.0-megapixel camera you got for Christmas.

Justin: Ah yes. That, of course being long before licensing turned The Hangin' Out Gang from a labor of love into the multi-media entertainment conglomerate you know it to be. Never so more evident than in this strip though, as originally one of our friends from back east, Chris Sylvia (he's going to kill me for telling this) was cast in the role of "book carrying student #2". Unfortunately, cruel lady fate reared her ugly head the night before the shoot, and Chris found himself on the receiving end of a terrible accident involving a miniature golf club, the backseat of a 1976 Cutlass Sierra, and an irate German taxidermist. Fortunately, in a brilliant bit of improvisation, Jon suggested that I stand in for him. That's just an interesting bit of trivia for our hardcore Internet fan base.

Jon: Sorry Chris!

Justin: I hope he doesn't read this commentary track [laughs]

Jon: Ha! If only our mouths had a backspace. They ought to come with those things built-in! Do not pass Go, do not collect $200!
