Introductions!

Hello there! Welcome to The Hot Topic Weekly Comic Strip!. Alot has happened in order to make this work, so I'll make this an introduction: My name's Adam, and I work for Hot Topic, or HT for short. If you don't know what that is, then you either have no social life or you've been living under a rock and you're gonna have to look it up:

There's a link for ya. Anyway, I started doing these 6 panel, 9 issue strips during my 15 minute breaks while I worked at the HT at Dolphin Mall. They're based on funny/weird things that have happened at the store, as well as funny quirks about the employees (including myself) themselves. I posted them in the bathroom at Dolphin, and for 2 "seasons" they kept bathroom-goers something to keep their minds occupied while they were doing whatever they were doing. After Season 2, the series was put on hiatus. The store had undergone a shift in management and things took a turn for the...not so fun.

A while later, I got transfered to the Hot Topic at Sunset Place, and before long I had become comfortable again to continue the series with a new cast and season (Season 3). Seasons 3 and 4 were met with resounding success until recently when I was barred from making anymore comics at the store. Finding one of my sources of joy working cut off, I decided to take it online (I already began posting older seasons on my personal Livejournal). After much deliberation, I decided to make a Blogspot in order to showcase the past 4 seasons, as well as new seasons and other goodies that I wasn't able to do in print.

Over the next weeks, The HT Weekly Comic Strip! @ Blogspot will be reshowing Season 1, followed by seasons 2, 3, and 4 before primering Season 5! Since Seasons 1-4 are old, I will post character galleries before each new season primere, briefly giving background to the characters you either already know and love, or are will soon. So now...
