Snatch!

Yes, I know I've had Bubbles talk in a past strip. That was an accident.

Watch Your Language, Moe!

This is the third time we've seen Moe's blue eyes.

He's Drooling Again

The title is a repeated title of He's Drooling.

No Songs...Yet

I'm the same way, but I'm even stricter—I don't sing Christmas songs until December.

Fred Meyer

Like some foreign names, the V in Bourshevitz is pronounced like a W.

It's Dripping Out!!!

Like so many other strips, I put this under "long-lost" because I've had the idea for so long, and only recently remembered it.

Nine Point Five Years?!!?!?!?!!?!!!?!!!???

It looks like I've abandoned the statement from the last Nermia Day strip, that it was "just a movie, so we can't be here." This is foreshadowing for the next Nermia story. I need to finish the seventh part of the Dusk Rider!!

The Automatic Pie Thrower

Remember when I mentioned that Moe got a pie thrower in an older strip? I finally thought of a design that didn't seem to reference Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs! The light on the front was flashing red when Julia started moving. That light is the motion detector.

Mr. Elephant

Actually, Mr. Elephant is a real...er..."game." And yes, it is a free download. Everything in this strip described about Mr. Elephant is true. At least the facts are. The opinions are still a matter of, um, opinion.

The company that made the "game" is called Curious Media, so if I were to add another panel, I would have Moe say, "Curious Media is right!"

Poor Used Car Lot!

For Michelle's line about what used to be there, I accidentally kept writing "a used parking lot."

Where Can I Buy One Of Those?!

We are now selling the Thought Translator!

This strip was shortened to fit the format. When I was sketching this out, I just let the characters go where they wanted to go. This is my favorite way of writing strips.

That Just CAN'T Be Good

The title for this post is a repeated title of That Can't Be Good.

SHE WON!!!

I wasn't originally intending to show Julia in the middle panel, but I just had to show her excitement when she thought everyone voted for her. So that's four straight elections she's lost! (Yes, I broke the presidential tie in 2009 by voting for Charlie.)

What Made Her Decide To Do That?

So Lily and I are running against each other. That's right, that overly and unfortunately successful Riley, who has defeated me in THREE STRAIGHT ELECTIONS, will not be running for president this year!! AND I AM DETERMINED TO BE ELECTED THIS TIME!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, Julia typed that. I just wish she'd stop acting like I'm her election enemy.

I Just Had To Prove My Point

Three years of rejection? Yes, Julia hasn't been elected since 2007. Do you think that means Julia was president before 2007, or does it mean that 2007 is when Julia first ran for president? I'm thinking the latter. My line in the last panel wasn't that easy to write. It took several variations for me to find a line I liked.

Julia Is Optimistic (Pessimistic?)

I said what I did in the title because being president would be good for her, but bad for the rest of us. Today's strip was originally switched with tomorrow's, but I changed it to this order for a better storyline flow.
