This came from an old strip. The ears and tail aren't destroyed because, since they can stretch the way they can, they're a completely different substance.
I wanted to try to do this strip as far away from April 1 as possible. I was originally intending to do this joke yesterday, but since I wanted to keep it far away from April 1, I moved it to here and did the Parenting Tip yesterday instead.
The point of the strip was to have Julia tell Michelle something where she wouldn't be able to ignore it or take it personally, but I kind of had a hard time trying to get that idea out of my head.
We're working on a design for our own Pie Thrower. Coming soon!
This idea was originally extended to what the Pie Thrower looks like, and how to use it, and the side effect that happens if a pie gets thrown on the machine. But what happened to the machine when a pie got thrown on it was kind of a ripoff of the movie Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs, so I just used the opening.
I created the first panel to explain why he was doing the "hellooooo" thing. I also doodled a bit of stuff after this thing. In it Thidwick managed to untie himself and the long lips whipped around Bob. Then I stopped doodling.
Happy April Fool's Day! And in case you're wondering, no I didn't color it for real and then scan it in black-and-white. I actually colored it all in shades of gray!
