I like the way I drew Thidwick in panel 4. Merlin jumping up in panel 6 wasn't originally in my sketch. Neither was Moe fainting. I put Merlin jumping in because I thought I drew his head to high and small. My first thought was to just keep it that way, and draw a normal body, but then I thought, "That just won't look right." So I had Merlin jumping up...it also better shows us how he's feeling, doesn't it? And I put Moe fainting because his original expression just didn't fit the strip's joke very well. The original expression had him looking at us with a 3/4 view (like the one in panel 2, only reversed) through half-closed eyes. You can find a similar expression (only with Julia instead) in the last panel of this strip.
