Data Theft

This is a growing problem because it is caused by people with access to technology such as database servers, computers and a large amount of devices capable of storing digital information, such as USB flash drives, cellular devices and even digital cameras.

Database

A database is a collection of data that's organized so data can be accessed, managed and updated easily. Databases usually contain aggregation of data records such as sales translations, inventories, product catalogs for advertisements, and customer profiles. The actual collection of data into to databases is call data mining. Databases are always set to receive new information using data that has been fetched over time. Most marketers

evolve in their databases in order to insure their kept up on customer patterns and trends to build a sort of relationship with their customers.
Social Communicate

Before social media, people were extremely limited in the way they interact with others and limited to the different types of people knew each other. But this is something that people of today don't have to worry about. Millennial's don't have to go through the pain of a parents answering your calls or communicating through letters in the mall.

Social media has drastically changed the way people interact and communicate across the world. One of the

main reasons it changed the social communicate is the massive number of people we can interact with any given minute. That with just a click of a button we have access to almost everything. A person can have a friend from across the world and that person can even be followed by people who aren't their friends. Social media communicate also allows us the opportunity to share opinions with a wider audience one would have in person. But communicating socially has also ruined the way people communicate in person. People have forgot how they can still communicate in person and instead would prefer social media. Another downfall to only communicated through social media is that people are giving up their privacy when they post something. One can be tracked by the government or businesses that would try to sell a products while the government wants to make sure users aren't a threat to others.
Data

Data is translated information in a form that is more convenient to process once analyzed. Data can be identified in many different ways such as numbers or text on pieces of paper, as bytes stored on a electronic memory. On

the other side, database store and retrieve related data, which does the online transaction processing and have frequent updates. But data has much larger amounts of historical data that isn't really up to date.
An Hour of Instruments

**An Hour of Instruments** is the fifth comic of Season 2 of the Blugrays and the 18th comic overall in the series.

In this comic, Dutny tells Tobaul about an hour she might love.

## Appearances

* Tobaul
* Dutny
* The All Instruments Band (mentioned only)
* Divod Weffttur
* Audience

## Notes & trivia

* Without procrastination while working on this comic, it could've had a Hidden component. It also should've been out a week earlier, though the guests and director (or stars) would've had different names.
* This is the first appearance of the Performance Hall in a Blugrays content piece. It was supposed to first appear in Literal Haiku before Natty23's mind changed.
* This is the final Blugrays comic of 2018.
* The gap between this and the succeeding comic is currently the longest out of any comic gap yet of the Blugrays, at 110 days, or almost four months.
Hackers

**Hackers** are individuals who deploy attacks on computer systems and exploit them for vulnerabilities. These individuals develop viruses and malware to aid them in their goals to break into these systems.

There are 3 types of hackers.

* Black Hat Hackers
* White Hat Hackers

* Grey Hat Hackers

**Black Hat Hackers** are hackers that aim to steal information from or cause harm to computer systems. This information may belong to an individual, a company, or an organization.

**White Hat Hackers** or Penetration Testers are hackers that aim to to exploit a system for vulnerabilities and get rid of them. They are usually hired by companies to keep their data safe and secure.

**Grey Hat Hackers** are a mix breed of Black hat and White hat hackers. They are like mercenaries in the field of Cyber Security. They often poke around a system without permission looking for vulnerabilities and when they find them, they notify the owner and request payment in order to fix the vulnerability.

Some hackers from these 3 categories may also be Hacktivist.

**Hacktivism** is when hackers use their skills to launch politically or socially driven attacks on an entities computer systems. This is usually done to send a message or to meet demands. Hacktivist will usually display a political message on their target's website. Distributed denial-of-service attacks are also common attacks for hacktivist to launch. These attacks disrupt the traffic to the targeted website.

**Social Engineering** isthe use of deception to manipulate individuals into divulging confidential or personal information that may be used for fraudulent purposes. - Google

Hackers tend to use social engineering to obtain certain information, plant hardware, or extract data from or on a target. A hacker could show up at a company's office disguised as an IT professional who was called in to fix a possibly non existent problem in the system. The secretary of that company may not think anything of it and allow the hacker access to the system. From here the hacker could plant a backdoor, steal the companies data, delete the company's data, the possibilities are endless. They could then escape without being caught.

Other social engineering attacks can include phone calls from attackers pretending to be someone or apart of something they are not. Phishing attacks are social engineering attacks that take the form of an email. False websites can lure people into giving important information such as credit card numbers to hackers who want to steal information.

Akhoountant Broadfoot

**Akhoountant Braodfoot** is one of the 16 main characters of the Blugrays.

She aspires to be an accountant, and loves math, especially complicated math problems.

## Behind the scenes

* Akhoountant’s design is based off Natty23 trying to make a shape combining two Fs from the word "FAFSA".
* Akhoountant’s name is constructed from the word “accountant”.
* Akhoountant has the longest name out of all of the main characters of the Blugrays.
Water in Progress

**Water in Progress** is the sixth short in the series.

In this short, Keachet and Languil pay the price for not waiting for the water main feed to be fixed at Blugray Cove.

## Appearances

* Keachet
* Languil
* Tobaul (doesn't speak)
* Hibe (doesn't speak)
* Jorafol (doesn't speak)
* Tarsa
* Stede Quade (doesn't speak)

## Notes & trivia

* This is the second short of the Blugrays to be fully made and released in 2018. The first was Blugrays Direct Deposit.
* This is the first short since Right It to only include characters of the main cast.
* These are the first appearances of Languil, Tarsa, and Stede in a Blugrays short/animation (even though Stede doesn't speak in this short). It's also the first time Languil's and Tarsa's voices are heard. Stede's voice wouldn't be heard until nine shorts and nearly nine months and later.
* Oddly, Keachet doesn't put soap on his hands before he's about to wash them, although it may be because he wanted to see how the water was first. Also, it's technically more hygienic to rinse your hands before washing them with soap.
* While the bathroom is based off of clipart (for the most part), the water fountain area is based off an area with a water fountain in the Dolphin Cove at CSI.
* The background for the "Meanwhile..." and "The Next Day..." screens is the same as the one used in the two previous shorts, but in a different hues. The same thing would happen to this background for many future comics and shorts.
* Speaking of screens, "The Next Day..." screen was meant to say "Tomorrow,".
* This is the first appearance of a bathroom and a water fountain in a Blugrays content piece.
* This is currently (or at least was) the animation that uses Natty23's custom extensions the most. For instance, two randomly colored the chips coming out with the water (one for raw shapes and another for symbols), one that converted each particle (in their own groups) into a symbol, one swapped symbols with random particles, another randomly rotated them. There was also one Natty23 tried to make that changed their size, but it didn't work out so well, so it was replaced by the random symbol extension. Since many of the more recent comics and shorts use a good amount of them though (like quickly making raw shapes/objects symbols, randomly picking frames, etc.), it's possible the first statement is no longer true for this short.
* This was the longest Blugrays short when it was released until nearly nine months later when Blugrays Alert came out.

### Goof

* When Languil turned his head to look at the sign, it's in a way that would be physically impossible. Instead, he should've turned his whole body too.
Applications

Application program is a program or group of programs designed to perform specific functions directly for a user to perform an activity. Applications built on mobile phones are called mobile apps. Typically most apps refer to

software that is used on smartphones for products such as Apple, iPhone and etc. Also there are apps meant just for online which are called web applications.
Educational Success Area

File:EducationalSuccessArea.png
The **Educational Success Area** is where all students of the Blugrays go to do some research, write essays, read articles, etc. There are multiple Macintosh computers and a printer.

## Behind the scenes

* The name of the area is based off of the Academic Success Center in Dolphin Cove, the student housing of the College of Staten Island, although it originally had the same name.
* Along with the Leisure Area and the Conference Area, this area seems to be featured the most in Blugrays content pieces.
Lexal Budiansky

**Lexal Budiansky** is one of the 16 main characters of the Blugrays.

She is an aspiring lawyer, and is currently going for a political science degree to go to law school in the future.

## Behind the scenes

* Lexal’s design is based off a mallet.
* Lexal’s name is constructed from the word “legal”.
* Lexal was the last character to be added into the show because before she came about, another character who was interested in just visual arts named Tobuyl (or Tobaul). Note that the Tobaul mentioned here is NOT the same one as the Tobaul that’s currently in the show. The rejected Tobuyl had a design that was based off of eyes and had the same color as Lexal. However, Natty23 suddenly realized that having a character who was into law wasn’t a bad idea, so he replaced one of the characters who was into art with Lexal.
Season 2

**Season 2** of Blugrays premiered on September 6, 2018, with seven shorts and six comics. However, the series was quietly cancelled at least a few months after Baseball Dream Chaser was released.

## Comics

* Break Time
* Tacner's Training
* Playtime at the Korner of Kids
* Real-Life Election Night Special
* An Hour of Instruments
* Snowy Day

## Shorts

* Some Trash Talk from Tobaul Frable
* Printer Problems
* Walls and Streets
* Blugrays Alert
* Voting for Nobody
* Dafe the Nutcracker
* Baseball Dream Chaser

## Notes & trivia

* The first long semester that took place during this season (the Fall 2018 semester) was the first one that had nothing come out from this series the day it began. This is because Lounch, the first Blugrays short from Season 1/overall, came out on the first day of the Fall 2017 semester of the College of Staten Island (and other CUNY schools) while Blugrays Photography Club, the seventh short of that season/overall, was released on the first day of the Spring 2018 semester.
* This is the first season of the Blugrays to premiere with a short.
* Dutny and Languil currently have the most amount of appearances in this season so far.
* The main characters that have yet to appear in Season 2 so far are Celwoge, Dilphan, Tacner (although he was mentioned in a comic (along with that comic's title)), and Lexal.
	+ This currently makes Lexal the only main Blugrays student not to appear in Season 2 as of yet.
* As of this season, backgrounds now have more textures on them. Some had them in the previous season, but they didn't have as much of them. For instance, walls were never texturized last season, but it's different this season.
* Comics with long panels and/or an odd number of panels have been introduced in this season starting with Tacner's Training.
* Lensdump is currently the only new image host of Blugrays comics to be introduced in Season 2.
* Until the release of Baseball Dream Chaser, the random page script had the second short mix listed twice, one of them taking the place of the third short mix by mistake.
Advertisments With Social Media

## Advertisements

Advertisement is and visual or audio form of marketing communications that’s
main objective is to promote or sell a product or idea. Sponsors for these ads
are often businesses trying to sell a product. The initial thought about
advertisement were not to be personal but rather non-personal which is not directed to a particular individual. Before ads were presented on the television
or radio but today, businesses get most revenue from social media ads.

Social networking advertising businesses benefit off online advertising so that
advertisers can take advantage of user’s demographic information given to them
but social media apps to target users and produce ads appropriately. Popular
social site like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn and YouTube. Facebook
collects almost everything from ages, friends, and interest. For example,
Facebook’s “Like” and Twitter’s “Tweet” buttons on other websites carry a code
that allows social-networking companies to track users’ movements even if they
do not click those buttons. Another type of button is called a “Buy” button
which is a gateway for impulsive online shopping. These Ads usually pop up on
news feeds of social media interfaces. These ads have advantages because on
these sites they can reach users who are interested in their products and they
allow detailed analysis and reporting. Below is a picture of the top social
media sites have the most ads.

Tacner's Training

## Notes & trivia

* This is the first comic of Season 2 with just one main character.
* This comic, like Forbees, was supposed to come out sometime in (possibly late) April 2018 during Season 1.

### Fixed Goof

* Until October 16, 2018, the comic number had a question mark next to it. This was because at the time it was released (or near it anyway) it wasn't 100% guaranteed that this would be the 15th comic.
Printer Problems

**Printer Problems** is the second short of Season 2 of the Blugrays and the 14th short in the series.

In this short, Tarsa has a problem with the Educational Success Area's printer.

## Notes & trivia

* This is the first short/content piece since Blugrays Direct Deposit to use art from a new artist to the Blugrays: RedAnimations. He designed the printer for this short.
* This was one of the earliest planned shorts of the series. It would've possibly been a comic originally too.
* This is the first short of Season 2 of the Blugrays to use the normal intro and credits since the first one of the season used a grayscale version of both due to the references of that short.
* MegaAnimazing came up with the title of this short.

### Goofs

* The pages of the printer are blank.
* The calendar's date on the computer doesn't change on the second day (it stays on the tenth day).

**Short Mix #3 (#13-18)** is the first short mix of Season 2 of the Blugrays and the third short mix in the series.

It contains all the shorts from Short #13 to Short #18.

## Appearances

* Announcer (Some Trash Talk from Tobaul Frable)
* Tobaul
* Tarsa
* Stede
* Dutny
* Languil
* Joarfol
* Dafe

## Notes & trivia

* This is the first content piece of the Blugrays that was released in 2019.
* This is the first content piece of the Blugrays to use Adobe Premiere Pro rather than Final Cut Pro (or any of Natty23's content for that matter).
* Due to Swivel freezing up early and most of this short mix being produced in around five hours (the only exception being the title cards and intro, which were finished earlier (though the title cards were edited slightly at some point)), Adobe Animate and Adobe Media Encoder were used to convert the .flas into videos, Natty23 swtiched to Adobe Premiere Pro from Final Cut Pro as he felt that would be slighty less stressful to use and maybe even easier (he only used it for MegaAnimazing's projects in the past), and the short mix ended up being released a day later than planned.
* This is the first content piece to unintentionally be released on the first day of a new semester of the College of Staten Island (at least).
* This is the first short mix to not physically include anyone outside of the main cast of the Blugrays (sure, there's the announcer in the first short in this short mix, but they're only heard).
* This short mix was briefly exclusive to the Blugrays Short Mixes playlist on YouTube and had a default thumbnail too.
* This was left out of the random page script for over four months, since when it was supposedly added the second short mix link was just simply repeated twice by mistake. This was fixed when Baseball Dream Chaser was released.
Celwoge Lorenz

**Celwoge Lorenz** is one of the 16 main characters of the Blugrays.

She is the co-leader of the cast, along with her husband, Dilphan. They also have two other assistants, who were former Blugrays students as well.

## Behind the scenes

* Celwoge’s design is based off the shape of the center of the College of Staten Island/the College's library.
* Celwoge’s name is constructed from the word “college”, just like Covlere's name, a character from Natty23's cancelled series The Squishables.
* Celwoge was originally a male.
* Celwoge's character page image originally had HER in front of Blugray Cove, not Dilphan, her husband.
* Celwoge has the most amount of spoken comic appearances in Season 1. However, as far as shorts go, she only appeared in the very first short of that season, let alone speak.
Blugrays Alert

**Blugrays Alert** is the fourth short of Season 2 of the Blugrays and the 16th short in the series.

In this short, Dutny and Languil discuss Blugrays Alert, a system that helps keep blobans safe from bad weather that could prevent events from occurring.

## Appearances

* Random Bloban on TV
* Dutny
* Languil

## Notes & trivia

* This is the first short to be released the same day as a short in Season 2 of the Blugrays. The comic in question is Playtime at the Korner of Kids.
	+ However, this short was technically released on YouTube shortly before the comic came out, even though officially that comic predates this short.
* This short is currently the longest Blugrays short to date, beating Water in Progress (the previous record holder).
* This is the first appearance of one of the Blugray Cove dorm rooms.
* This is the first Season 2 short where a character that isn't a main one appears in it.
* This is the first short where leather objects have textures.
* Although the Blugrays Alert message mentioned a fire while Dutny was cooking, there was no visible fire due to the stove having an electrical smooth top.
* This short is the first to fully use the new animation style partially used in Blugrays Direct Deposit.
* This short is the first to be animated in Adobe Animate CC 2019 and specifically list that version of the program in the credits.
* This was one of the earliest planned shorts of the series. It also could've been the fifteenth short rather than Walls and Streets (which in turn would've been the sixteenth short) had it not been finished the week before its released in a tardy manner.
* Billy preferred the name "Blugrays Alert" over the name "Blugray Alert", which is what the system could've been called.
* The blog post announcing this short only hosted the links instead of having a proper description as well for almost ten hours when it was first posted.

### Fixed Goofs

* Due to a mistake, this short wasn't actually on the random page list until half an hour after Real-Life Election Night Special and Voting for Nobody were released, which was almost two weeks after this was released.
Power Outage

**Power Outage** is the eleventh comic in the series.

In this comic, A planned power outage in Blugray Cove is announced by Celwoge.

## Appearances

* Celwoge
* Keachet
* Hibe
* Akhoountant
* Dafe
* Tobaul
* Tarsa
* Stede
* Culpatyn
* Lexal
* Dutny
* Joarfol
* Languil
* Powerblobans (mentioned only)

## Notes & trivia

* This comic is very similar to the previous two comics, Online Test and Celwoge's Improved Teaching Workload, in several ways:
	+ All three comics have the students react by groaning, gasping, or staring, or sometimes more than one of those reactions.
	+ All show every main Blugrays student. In fact, out of the main cast, these comics lack Dilphan, Tacner, and Oslonda.
	+ All comics are tied for having the most amount of main Blugrays characters while lacking any other characters.
	+ Cary Huang's Shaker tool was used to randomize the rotations of the students (and Celwoge) most of the time to make them seem more life-like for both of these comics (same goes for back views).
* This is currently the longest Blugrays comic yet at 14 panels. It is also the first comic to reach that number.
	+ Funnily enough, this was probably the most rushed comic to date, as the script was technically improvised as the comic was being made in Adobe Animate. Usually, the script is finalized before the comic itself is made.
		- That was, until Real-Life Election Night Special came along, which was even more rushed than this comic since that one was made in under 50 minutes. This one was made in several hours. On the other hand, at least the election comic was written hours before the actual comic was made, although dissimilar to a typical Blugrays comic (again), the script was technically not looked at by anyone aside from Natty23 (creator of the Blugrays) himself before he made the panels for it.
* This is the first Blugrays comic to be released the same day as a short (simultaneously in fact); in this case, it was Literal Haiku.
	+ Because of this, since they both came out at the same time, this is the first content piece to never be featured on the homepage.
	+ However, the short was technically released on YouTube a short while before both that and this comic were put onto the website.
* Like Literal Haiku, this comic was released on one of Natty23's grandmother's birthday.
* Until one to two minutes after launching on the Blugrays website, the previous button on this comic's page lead to itself.
* This comic was inspired by a planned power outage at the College of Staten Island that was only revealed about close to three hours before development of this comic began.
	+ Funnily enough, neither Blugray Cove or the College had an actual power outage the night this comic was published because not long after this comic was released, the real life power outage which was scheduled to occur around the same time this comic came out was delayed by a day.
Conference Area

File:ConferenceArea.png
The **Conference Area** is where all of the main students and faculty of the Blugrays go to talk about important things such as power outages, the Blugrays being featured somewhere, etc. Celwoge usually does the most talking there however, especially since she's once of the co-leaders. Classes go on there as well as seen in Celwoge's Improved Teaching Workload. They also seem to do tests there, as revealed in Online Test.

## Behind the scenes

* The name of the area is based off of the Conference Room in Dolphin Cove, the student housing of the College of Staten Island, although it originally had the same name.
* Along with the Educational Success Area and the Leisure Area, this area seems to be featured the most in Blugrays content pieces.
Walking Around the NEIGHborhood

**Walking Around the NEIGHborhood** is the third comic in the series.

In this comic, Dilphan and Culpatyn try to get information about the NEIGHborhood, a neighborhood full of horse-like blobans.

## Appearances

* NEIGHborhood Background Characters
* Dilphan
* Culpatyn

## Notes & trivia

* This is the first comic/content piece of the Blugrays to have characters not in the main cast that don't talk.
* This is the the first comic/content piece of the Blugrays to be outside.
* This is also the first comic/content piece of the Blugrays to be outside of the Blugrays. It's also the only one released in 2017 to fit this criteria and currently the only one period.
* Because of sizing issues, this comic is hosted on Weebly rather than PostImage this time.
* This is Dilphan's first appearance in a comic/content piece.
* As of this comic, Culpatyn is the first character to talk in more than one comic.
* This is currently the only comic of the Blugrays where Natty23 came up with the title, written the script of the comic without it being edited, and did all the art. However, of course, it was still critiqued to be improved.
* This is the final comic to use a narrow version of the Trade Gothic font for the speech bubbles.
* This comic is one of the two shortest Blugrays comics of Season 1 (Museum of Current Art is the other), but they're also tied with a Season 2 comic, Real-Life Election Night Special, for being the shortest comic in the series.
* Hidden on the Blugrays website is a version seemingly hosted on the Weebly website itself with the old text colors.

### Fixed Goof

* Sometime after all the comics were reuploaded onto Lensdump and had their header text colors changed, the page that hosted this comic had both the new version and the old version of the comic, with the former being on top of the latter. This was fixed sometime before 9:20 a.m. on October 25, 2018.
Dilphan Lorenz

**Dilphan Lorenz** is one of the 16 main characters of the Blugrays.

He is the co-leader of the cast, along with his wife, Celwoge. They also have two other assistants, who were former Blugrays students as well.

## Behind the scenes

* Dilphan’s design and name are based off a dolphin because the College of Staten Island’s mascot, Danny, is a dolphin.
	+ However, a word that was constructed from “dolphin” was originally going to be Dutny’s name.
	+ Also, while this hasn’t been seen yet due to the style of the eyes in this series, Dilphan has blue eyes just like Danny.
* Even though it seems as if Dilphan lacks a nose, he technically has one; it’s right above his eyes, just like normal dolphins.
* Dilphan’s voice was originally going to have an underwater effect to it, just like Octopuff’s voice (a character from seasons 5 to 7 of The Squishables, a cancelled series by Natty23), but Artistunknown believed that it was harder to hear his voice with the effect, so Dilphan ended up with a normal voice instead.
* Dilphan is one of the only two characters out of the 16 not to have normal arms. In fact, the arms he has lacks hands, just like Octopuff. The other character is Culpatyn, who has similar arms (except that they're shorter and don't have sharp ends).
* In Natty23’s opinion, Dilphan is the Octopuff of the Blugrays series in a way due to both of them being based off of sea animals in both name and design, although he likes Dilphan more (other than terms of drawing and animation).
* Dilphan is the oldest bloban of the Blugrays.
* Dilphan is the only character to never appear in Season 1 shorts and is tied with Tacner for the smallest amount of appearances in Season 1 too, although if anything, Dilphan has more since at least he actually physically appeared in at least one of the comics while Tacner didn't. On the other hand, he and Stede are the only characters not to speak in any Season 1 shorts.
Hibe Caputo

**Hibe Caputo** is one of the 16 main characters of the Blugrays.

He is almost always concerned about being on time, and despises being late for anything.

## Behind the scenes

* Hibe’s design is based off a clock.
* Hibe’s name is constructed from the word “time”.
* Hibe’s original name was Tine and was probably a female at first.
* Hibe’s nose is unique like Dilphan’s (in fact, it’s even more so) since the former’s nose is a black circle instead of a normal-looking nose and the latter’s nose is above his eyes where it’s hard or impossible to see it.
* Not counting the four main characters, depending on whether or not you would consider Hibe accidentally receiving Dafe’s original color at one point, Hibe is the only character other than Tarsa to refrain from having their color changed by Artistunknown.
* Hibe's voice actor shares the same name as Keachet's voice actor (and the creator of the Blugrays in a way, too).
* Hibe is the last main male Blugrays student to appear in Season 2.
Culpatyn Bielby

**Culpatyn Bielby** is one of the 16 main characters of the Blugrays.

She aspires to be a computer scientist due to her love for computers.

## Behind the scenes

* Culpatyn’s design is based off of a computer monitor.
* Culpatyn’s name is constructed from the word “computer”.
* Culpatyn may have been originally a male.
* Cuplatyn originally had normal arms while the arms she has now was something Languil used to have.
* Culpatyn has made the most amount of comic appearances in Season 1, but only spoke alone in three of them. On the other hand, she only appeared in two Blugrays shorts, and only spoke in one of them.
Houseless Bloban

**Houseless Bloban** is the sixth comic in the series.

In this comic, Culpatyn, Oslonda, and Celwoge try looking for homeless blobans.

## Appearances

* Culpatyn
* Oslonda
* Celwoge
* Homeless Bloban

## Notes & trivia

* This is the first comic to use a new speech bubble style, which colors all of the speech bubbles in a color similar to who they belong to.
* This comic is similar to Walking Around the NEIGHborhood in numerous ways:
	+ Firstly, both comics feature one of the Lorenz's and Culpatyn.
	+ Secondly, Celwoge is carrying the same notepad and pencil that Dilphan did in that comic.
	+ Thirdly, both involve walking on a sidewalk. In fact, the sidewalk graphic was reused for this comic, although the outlines of the sidewalk were made lighter.
	+ Fourthly, Natty23 considered updating both of these comics.
* Here are the stores seen in this comic:
	+ Crackles: A fast food restaurant (which has a name inspired by Sizzles, one of the restaurants in the College's lounge; note that you can't see its whole name in the comic)
	+ Clohl's: A clothing store (its name parodies Kohl's, another clothing store)
	+ Cents2Dollars: A dollar store
	+ Town of Parties: A Party City parody (note that you can't see its whole name in the comic)
	+ Buffood: A buffet (note that you can't see its whole name in the comic)
	+ Farmacy: A possible country-styled pharmacy (note that you can't see its whole name in the comic)
* The font of the Crackles store is the Fancy Natty23 Font (formerly Fancy Nat29 Font).
* The font of the Clohl's store is the Patrick Font (a font Natty23's father made).
* The font of the Farmacy store is the Handwritten Nat29 Font.
* With the release of this comic, January 2018 has the most new Blugrays content pieces to date (at four), although at the same time it's not much of a surprise considering the fact Natty23 was off from college for most of the month. The previous record holder was September 2017 for having two comics and a short.
* As of this comic, the lighting and shading on the Blugrays logo have finally been updated.
* This is currently the Blugrays comic to be the latest comic for the shortest amount of time.
* On October 16, 2018, the comic itself was updated by fixing a goof and making the dirt on the homeless bloban a bit more bent courtesy of asset warping.

### Fixed Goof

* The dirt on the homeless bloban was supposed be the other way around when he's first seen.
Museum of Current Art

**Museum of Current Art** is the twelfth comic in the series.

In this comic, Celwoge takes the Blugrays on a trip to a weird museum.

## Appearances

* Celwoge
* Keachet
* Hibe
* Akhoountant
* Oslonda (partially offscreen)
* Dutny
* Dafe

## Notes & trivia

* This is the first comic since Dodgevan to not physically include all of the Blugrays students (even though it's pretty safe to say it technically does in a way). It is also the first one since Houseless Bloban to include at least one of the other three Blugrays characters (not counting the students and Celwoge). In this case, it's Oslonda.
* This is the first time side views of Hibe, Dafe, and Celwoge are seen. It's also the first time Celwoge was technically redrawn in something public since production of the series began.
* The paintings on the museum are just images that could be reused and modified from Wikipedia and Google.
* The museum background itself is derived from a Webdings short called Admire the Exhibit, albeit recolored (the wall anyway). Webdings is another series made by Natty23 (the creator of the Blugrays).
* This is the first comic to use darker text colors to comply with ADA WCAG Level "AA". Some parts of the website started supporting this level more six days before the release of this comic.
	+ Eventually on October 16, 2018, since ImgPile stopped working, forcing Natty23 to reupload all the comics once more, every comic eventually got this update (some even fixed up goofs they previously had). This comic also got another update by fixing the goof mentioned below and making Dafe's side view slightly more detailed.
* This is one of the two shortest Season 1 comics of the Blugrays (the other is Walking Around the NEIGHborhood), but they're also tied with a Season 2 comic, Real-Life Election Night Special, for being the shortest comic of the series.

### Fixed Goof

* Hibe was missing his three o'clock hand marking in the last two panels.
Performance Hall

File:PerformanceHall.png
The **Performance Hall** is where all students of the Blugrays go to listen to and/or watch other blobans perform, whether it be music, drama, songs, and various types of acting and music.

## Behind the scenes

* The main background for the performance hall was supposed to appear much earlier in the series. It was going to be where the Blugrays and Celwoge meet up almost everyday, although it wouldn't have been called or been part of the Performance Hall back then.
* The name of the area is based off of the Recital Hall in the College of Staten Island (the 1P building to be exact).
Joarfol Grasso

**Joarfol Grasso** is one of the 16 main characters of the Blugrays.

He always watches or reads the news, even newspapers, and is interested about how the process of getting and composing news works. As a result, he's trying to become a journalist at the Blugrays.

## Behind the scenes

* Joarfol’s design is based off of a newspaper.
* Joarfol’s name is constructed from the word “journalism”. The reason why it wasn’t “journal” was because his name might have been Joarfolism before, but if so, it was shortened because the full name was pretty dumb, or at least dumber.
* Joarfol was probably a female before.
* Joarfol is the oldest student of the Blugrays.
* Joarfol and Tobaul are tied for appearing in the most Season 1 shorts.
* Joarfol, Tobaul and Keachet are tied for speaking in the most amount of Season 1 shorts too.
Food Pantry

**Food Pantry** is the ninth short in the series.

In this short, Dutny, Hibe, and Languil go to the Blugrays' food pantry.

## Appearances

* Dutny
* Hibe
* Languil
* Oslonda
* Food

## Notes & trivia

* This is the first time Hibe and Oslonda have spoken in a Blugrays animation. In fact, this is the first time Oslonda has appeared in one. They have appeared and talked in Blugrays comics before this one.
	+ In addition, with Oslonda's first speaking appearance, all main female characters of the Blugrays have spoken at least once in a Blugrays short/animation since she was the last female to do so.
* This is the first appearance of the main Blugray Lounge, the Green Blugray Lounge, and the Blugray Food Pantry.
* Until ten minutes after the release of this short, the homepage of the Blugrays website displayed "Latest Short", but it lead to the ninth comic (which was the latest comic/content piece at the time this short was released).
* This short was reuploaded onto YouTube and the Blugrays website 13 hours after being released to improve one background and fix another.
* This is the second short to be reuploaded or delayed due to background enhancements and fixes. The first was Lounch, the very first Blugrays short.
	+ However, unlike this short, Lounch had a scheduled upload that ended up being cancelled for background fixes, so it technically wasn't reuploaded to the public like Food Pantry was.

### Goofs

* Two of the lines on Hibe's body are disconnected a bit at the beginning of the short.
* The last scene of the short has a number of problems:
	+ One of the lines on Hibe's body go past it a little.
	+ One of Languil's arms are above his body.
	+ The door of the food pantry is cut off at the bottom of the screen.
Future of Privacy Forum

The Future of Privacy Forum is a nonprofit organization which is a catalyst searches for the issues relating data privacy. The forum unites industry leader to explore the challenges posed by technological innovation and to develop better

privacy protections in belief that the power of data there can manage control risk and provide the best protection to consumers.
Walls and Streets

**Walls and Streets** is the third short of Season 2 of the Blugrays and the 15th short in the series.

In this short, Stede reads a journal on a familiar but not quite familiar website.

## Appearances

* Stede
* Dutny

## Notes & trivia

* This is Stede's very first speaking appearance in a Blugrays short and only his second appearance in one overall. He only made a non-speaking cameo in Water in Progress in the past.
	+ In addition, as a result of this occurrence, at the time this short was released, this makes Dilphan the only main character not to speak in a Blugrays short (he hasn't even appeared in one at the time either).
* The animation style slightly changed as more BFB-like movements are used here, especially with the use of a Recoil-like extension Natty23 made.
	+ Plus, the camera movement in this short was based off one Michael Huang did in BFB 3.
* This is the first Blugrays short/content piece to use the new Google Chrome design.
* The main font of the Walls and Streets Journal (a.k.a. the one used in the logo and article title) is not actually Escrow, but a similar-looking one instead. The other two commonly used fonts in the journal's reference (the Wall Street Journal), Exchange and Retina, was extracted from the website and used here.
* The article's text was originally not going to just be random lines.
* This is the first short to have had its development begin after Season 2 started. Every other short released during this season so far (save for two of them) was in production in some way (some of them for a long time) before Season 1 ended.
* This short was animated in what was technically a prerelease of Adobe Animate CC 2019, but since it was finished before the version was released to the public, the credits only state "Adobe Animate CC" because Natty23 didn't feel safe mentioning 2019 just yet and it wasn't actually animated in Adobe Animate CC 2018.
* This short wasn't added to the Blugrays Short playlist on YouTube until the succeeding one, Blugrays Alert, was released.

### Goofs

* Artistunknown isn't in the Directed By section of the credits.
Stede Quade

**Stede Quade** is one of the 16 main characters of the Blugrays.

He loves to study, and because historians do a lot of that, that's what he's trying to become at the Blugrays.

## Behind the scenes

* Stede’s design is based off a book.
* Stede’s name is constructed from the word “study”.
* Stede may or may not have been a female originally.
* There was originally three separate characters that had traits of Stede. One was simply a genius and was into science, one was into history and had a good memory, and one loved everything about books. At some point, Natty23 decided to turn those three characters into one and give their traits to Stede, who’s the closest character to having those traits, although he changed his interest to history and gave the interest of science (in this case, in terms of food) to Dafe.
* Stede's original character page background was Oslonda's and vice versa. In addition, Stede's background was also the original character page background for Keachet.
* Stede only speaks in two comics in Season 1 and never talks in any of the season's shorts either (he only appears in one too). The only character not to speak (or even appear) in any Season 1 shorts is Dilphan. These cases make Stede one of the least popular main characters of the Blugrays (at least for the first season).
	+ Stede finally talks in a Blugrays short in Season 2 however. That short in particular is the season's third short, Walls and Streets.
Tobaul Frable

**Tobaul Frable** is one of the 16 main characters of the Blugrays.

She aspires to be some type of artist, whether it'd be visual arts, performing arts, or a musician. It doesn't matter to her since she knows how to draw, act, and play several instruments already.

## Behind the scenes

* Tobaul’s design is based off an inverse theater mask and a musical note (which isn't inverse).
* Tobaul’s name is constructed from the word “Visual”, although it was originally Tobuyl.
* Tobaul was only interested in performing arts at first and not visual arts, but when it was decided that only one character interested in arts was needed, Natty23 made her interested in both.
* When Tobaul was only interested in performing arts, her name was going to be either Permera (most likely based off of the word “perform”) or Ort (based off of the word “art”).
* The voice of Tobaul was originally going to be used for Fact of the Day animations of at least Season 7 of The Squishables.
* Tobaul is the first main character to speak in a Season 2 short/content piece of the Blugrays.
* Tobaul, Keachet, and Joarfol are tied for speaking in the most amount of Season 1 shorts.
* Tobaul and Joarfol are tied for appearing in the most Season 1 shorts too.
* Tobaul currently speaks in the most amount of Blugrays shorts overall.
Playtime at the Korner of Kids

**Playtime at the Korner of Kids** is the third comic of Season 2 of the Blugrays and the 16th comic overall in the series.

In this comic, Keachet talks to a disgruntled kid during playtime.

## Appearances

* The Korner of Kids Children (offscreen)
* Cheld
* Keachet

## Notes & trivia

* This is the first comic to be released the same day as a short in Season 2 of the Blugrays. The short in question is Blugrays Alert.
	+ However, the short was technically released on YouTube shortly before this came out, even though officially this predates that short.
* This is the first comic where a kid bloban is named.
* This is the first time in the Blugrays that something fairly popular and technically a meme is referenced. In this case, it's Baldi's Basics (and the character Playtime too, of course, considering the title of this comic).
* The original comic title was simply "Korner of Kids".
* The "kids playing, chatting, and laughing" text wasn't originally in the comic.
* The blog post announcing this comic only hosted the links instead of having a proper description as well for almost ten hours when it was first posted. In addition, the title of the post read "Playtime **in** the Korner of Kids" rather than "Playtime **at** the Korner of Kids".
Celwoge's Improved Teaching Workload

**Celwoge's Improved Teaching Workload** is the tenth comic in the series.

In this comic, Celwoge comes up with a way to improve her status as a professor.

## Appearances

* Dafe
* Tobaul
* Keachet
* Celwoge
* Hibe
* Akhoountant
* Joarfol
* Culpatyn
* Tarsa
* Lexal
* Languil
* Stede
* Dutny

## Notes & trivia

* This comic is very similar to the previous one, Online Test, in multiple ways:
	+ Both comics were released about a month after their preceding comic. However, this comic was one day shy from being released exactly four weeks after the previous one, therefore it was released before the previous comic turned a month old.
	+ Both show every main Blugrays student. In fact, out of the main cast, both comics exclude Dilphan, Tacner, and Oslonda.
	+ Both comics are tied for having the most amount of main Blugrays characters while lacking any other characters.
	+ Cary Huang's Shaker tool was used to randomize the rotations of the students most of the time to make them seem more life-like for both of these comics (same goes for back views).
	+ Both of these comics were finished on a day before their release dates. As for this comic, though, aside from minor fixes made throughout several days, it was finished six days (almost a week) before being released while the other was finished a day before release.
* This is the first double-digit comic/content piece of the Blugrays.
* This currently has the longest title out of any Blugrays comic/content piece so far.
* This is the first comic/content piece to be released after the new previous and next buttons have been added onto the website.
* This comic's Latest background for the website was too high on the home page and too high or low on the comics page until almost six hours after being released. This is because Natty23 added them it onto the pages while he was on his Windows 10 laptop (with a smaller screen than the Mac desktop he usually uses).
