The Lightsaber With The Goofball Goes Vroom, Vroom, Vroom...

Just like Thursday's strip, the lightsaber is glowing. I decided not to color in the blade itself this time, to make it look more like the way they look in Star Wars.

Yeah, He's Obsessed With Disney

BTW, they were talking about the '50s Disney animated film.

Now Lily Can Do It!

While I was creating this story, I realized that Peter Pan's legs could be in any position, since Peter wasn't standing on anything. I applied this with Charlie's legs in this story, as well as with the merpeople and merfish. Look closely; their lower bodies also are not standing on anything, and so can be in any position.

I don't think I drew Charlie's legs right in the first panel.

Not Thinking; Knowing

The only change I did in this strip was done while I was still sketching it out. In the original, Charlie didn't acknowledge what Moe said in the first panel. But then I thought that he needed to, so I made him say something that indicates he's agreeing with Moe without really knowing what he's agreeing to.

Charlie Is Insane.

Gary Larson once said that, to him, the original sketch of a comic looked more successful than the final. That's how I feel about this strip. The only change I made from the sketch to the strip was I changed which hand was pointing to Moe in the first panel. In the original, the feather was in his right hand, and his left hand was pointing. I changed it so that the feather would always be in his left hand.

HE STOLE IT!

The main change I did in this strip was to change Charlie's pose in the second panel.

Yeah, He HAS Been Watching Disney.

I did this mainly to reference another Disney film. I didn't want the whole story (yes, yesterday's and today's strips are part of a story) to be one huge reference to Peter Pan. I had to throw in a reference to another Disney film at some point.

He's Been Watching Disney Again!

Charlie is reading the book BIRDS.

I've actually had the idea for this strip for a while, but I delayed it a few months so it wouldn't be too close to the original Charlie and Disney strip.
