She Said Tell, Not Yell
I have done this to my brothers on multiple occasions.
Also, this is our 2100th post. Shame it's also going to be one of the last ones, too...

Flashback Comparison #11
This next Flashback Comparison is supposed to take place immediately after the previous one, which had an odd instance in it of Moe with hair. This was meant to explain that.
I split the second-to-last panel into two in order to make sense of Moe's expressions. This was also the last use of my old pen. Plus, maybe this is where I started having everyone faint.
More Flashback Comparisons to come! Stay tuned!

Says The Kid Who...
I actually have no idea as to what sizes those The Cheat plushes are...and they're out of stock, so I never will.

Oh, She Fell For It All Right
As much of a trickster as Moe is, Moe would never seriously hurt Julia, and so he put a pillow in front of the pool in order to break Julia's fall.

Quite A Few People, Actually
I think that's going to become the new URL for I.W.M.A.
Also, in the last panel, Moe seemed a bit upset or snarky. I later decided that didn't seem to fit this joke, so I made him a bit more explanatory (if that's a mood).
Check back Sunday for the next strip.

I Must Have Forgotten To Scan The Other Night
There will not be a strip on Friday and Saturday.
The number on the one Moe's shirt is a reference to this strip.

Yes, Last Summer
It's a pain to try to color all the little itty-bitty sections of the strip (like Moe's fingers holding the rug).

Katie Foster Returns!
The main reason Julia's not saying anything is there wasn't enough room to put one more pointer for her.

Flashback Comparison #10
This tenth Flashback Comparison details Moe's introduction with Bed Monster. I had to flip some of the panels with Moe's bed, as it seemed it switched from being against one side of the wall to the other side (or at least turning 180 degrees).
Moe's style of bed in the original strip is actually a lot closer to the bed I was sleeping in at the time. I updated it to match the way his bed looks now.
Also, I wonder how Michelle is squeezing between the wall and Moe's bed in the last panel of the original?
Yes, Moe has hair in the last panel of the original. That'll be explained in the next Flashback Comparison. I changed it to his dots flying off his head. And in the last panel, his socks are flying off his feet. I decided to get rid of that. I've really improved my bare feet since then, don't you think? They still have the same number of toes, though.
And yes, those are the same pajamas Moe still uses today.
Obviously I had a hard time getting Moe's outstretched arms to have the correct stripe pattern. Bed Monster's appearance in the last panel of the newer version is actually pretty close to what I was attempting to have him do in the original. The problem with the original is that I tried to put the tentacles grasping his throat in front of Moe's hand. It didn't turn out so well. Michelle's shirt changed in the last strip simply because I grabbed the wrong colored pencil when I was making this strip. And now she appears to be more curious rather than angry.
More Flashback Comparisons to come! Stay tuned!

Wait, Moe Actually Bought One Of Those?!
Moe did mention passing a store window full of these near the beginning of last year (wow, 2012 is already "last year!")

Yay, It's A New Year!!
In case you did a double-take when seeing this strip, yes, Alex has been replaced with Kristene.
