| The Life of Steve |
Up here in Apartment 39, comics are a surprising passion (except for Bill, we all knew he had a thing for comics
from the get-go). Three comic strips have been produced and are proudly displayed on our kitchen wall. Each
comic, interestingly, has its own distinct style and facet of the comic universe. The only thing they have in

The Life of Steve, by and large, is based on real events. Some of the strips, Issue 2 for instance, is entirely fictional. Inversely,
Issue 6 is a verbatum conversation had while watching Conan O'Brien one night.
New issues of the Life of Steve are posted in three places: here on the National City Sentinel; as a note on Facebook; and on the
Apartment 39 kitchen refrigerator.
And yes: the entire comic strip is produced using one of the greatest graphics programs of our time, Microsoft Paint. The most
