Again, I Was Just Thinking About the Description Earlier Today!

The title is a repeated title of "I Was Just Thinking About the Description Earlier Today!" Did you know that, in my original strip, we could see Moe's face in the last panel? I decided to do this after I drew the banana peel slipping over Moe's head. I figured, instead of having it disappear into Hammerspace (thin air), why not have it hand on his face? And it adds an extra joke (kind of) to the strip.

This Boy (and His Clothes) are 100% Rubber

The original strip didn't have the extra joke, and in panel 2, we could see Moe's feet. Moe just said, "Look at me! I'm so fat, I can't see my feet!"

Elisha's Back!!

Remember Elisha? This strip kinda has an extra joke, doesn't it?

Moe Predicted Correctly; The Enemy DID Reveal His Name!

The dialogue, starting with the words "My name is Jocken Fred," are supposed to be heard in the rhythm of "We All Sing With the Same Voice." I did the sketching out for this months and months ago. But my calendar for 2006 was all filled up, and I was in the progress of planning out January's strips this year, but for some reason, I decided, "Nah, I'll wait until a little bit later." Finally, I found a spot. This was the day I got another new pen. I didn't want to waste too much space, so I drew a picture of Moe and Merlin in the background. And, look at it again in all three panels...it changes! Another extra joke! It also almost follows the same joke of the main strip, because in the last panel picture, Merlin ends up "pow-pow-powing" Moe. And, one more thing. Moe has black pants on, just like the enemy. Do you suppose his shirt is red, too? Because Jocken Fred's shirt is.

Another Extra Gag

As shown in the title, the last panel's smaller words are an extra joke. But this time, since it's all contained within one panel, you don't need to reread the whole strip! This gag actually started out in one of my pre-pre-comics called Pat the Pirate. (My pre-comic is Moe, which actually started out as one of my pre-pre-comics.) Then it moved on to another one of my pre-pre comics, "Blah" (which was a strange name suggested by my dad), and it had an opening joke, which I'm not going to tell you, decided by the person in charge of I Want Moe Attention...me. This is its third use.

Extra Joke II

Here's another example of an extra joke. Like I said yesterday, read the strip twice, once the main gag, and next the extra gag. I just love this extra gag. Usually, the extra gag isn't in my sketchbook. Sometimes, when I'm not busy and I don't really have anything to do, and I've already done the daily strip, I'll doodle in my sketchbook. Sometimes, I rough out strips in my sketchbook too.

Extra Joke

Sometimes, usually not to waste so much space, and sometimes for consistency, and other times for both, I'll throw in an extra gag. The main gag's words will be printed in nice, big, legible letters. The extra gag's words will be printed in sloppy, small, illegible letters. (Okay, just the "small" part.) You're going to have to reread this strip, first the main gag (big letters), and then the extra gag (small letters).
